'THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1948 After talking to them a while, I proceeded into the house to sign the register. The last couple names on the register caught my eye, because they were all members of the Tribune staff. The editor, Joan Johnson's name was there, Harold House, the sports writer, and Gene Hooprich, who besides writing for the Tribune had a col- umn syndicated in more than 200 papers. I be- lieve the name of it was Pitching Horseshoesf' Dennis McCabe's and John Gosser's names were also registered there. They were the two most valued reporters on the Tribune staff. Last but not least was society reporter Marie Ca1'ter's name. Entering the room where Joe was, I saw many old friends of his. That Hash of gold braid in one corner belonged to Admiral Boyd, who had flown in from San Diego, where lhis ship the S. S. Golden's was docked. He was talking to Elizabeth Brandel and Connie Burrell, who were airline hostesses on the Pan-American Airlines. In another corner, saw Robert Scherrer, the great concert pianist, talking to Mrs. Dave Clay, the former Joan McCormick. Just then I saw Ann Lewis, commercial pho- tographer get set to take a flash-picture of some- one, who was just entering. I finally found out that the subject of her photograph was Phyllis Brennemen, the only girl to hold the title of Miss America for seven consecutive years. With her was Jim Kiste, the All American pro football player, and those five famous Conover models: Jeannine Ingram, Martha Nelson, Marianne Goodwin, Charlotte Stiers, and Ruth West, who was now the wife of Karl Sturtz, the famous pro football coach. In another corner, I saw Jack Miskimens, owner of Miller's Drug Store and Frank Shan- non, owner of the Buckeye Clothing Store com- paring notes on their businesses. Another visitor that I recognized was Connie Thomas, who, I learned, had a very successful job in Cleveland. She was the head commercial artist for the May Company. She had brought with her, her two assistants, Mary Hawkins, and Helen Wagner. I also saw Jim McIntosh, the owner of the Pretty-Scheffer plant having a heated discussion with Dick Mortine, present owner of the Carna- Page Twen ty-two tion Co. Francis Gephart, the manager of the J. C. Penney Stores, was standing by ready to referee. After I paid my respects to Joe, I decided it was time to go home. I stopped and talked to Barbara McCann who had iiown in from Holly- wood where she was becoming one of the best tap dancers on the screen. On the way home, I drove up Main street and I couldn't help being amazed at the fact that probably in every skyscraper on the street, some one of the Class of '48 worked. For instance, in the Coshocton National Bank, you could find in the bookkeeping department, June McCabe, Nora Marvin, Lois Laurence, Bon- nie Smith and Francis Appis. Dick Holmes was also employed as assistant cashier in the bank. Above the bank were the offices of Totsch 8z Totsch, Bob and Dick respectively, who were the two best lawyers in town. Their secretaries were Alice Klingler and Mary Lou Fretague. Next I passed Sam Kemp's butcher shop. Sam had been quite a good friend of Joe's and I was all choked up when I saw that he had' tied black crepe paper around every ham hanging in the window in honor of Joe. On the right was M. O'Neil's where I knew Vivian Lapp and Violet McVey clerked and where Mary Lillibridge, Bonnie Bennett and Joan Ramsey, Betty Kobel, and Donna Arnold worked in the office. At last I reached home and although I was rather tired, I decided to stay up a while and think about the day's events. As I stood in my penthouse looking out over the town, I saw the little dots of light that represented the G.E. plant. There I also knew that a host of C. H. S. graduates were employed. Roy Biggs, Dick Meek, Bill Jones and Bradner Williams were all employed in the Graphic Arts Department. Even Edward Wilson drove one of the G.E. transpor- tation trucks. In the office of the General Elec- tric, you'd find: Lucille Meek, Mary Ellen Speck- man, Joann McClain, Della Ruth Leech, and Vera Moore. Yes, I thought, I could go on for hours and tell what each one of the old graduates were doing now, but after all, I was sleepy-so sleepy-poor J oe-ho-hum.
