CLASS PROP:-IECY Ephrata, Pennsylvania ' october 20, 1951 Dear Diary, After spending exactly one day in my old home town, I discovered that everything has changed-the people, the habits, and even the mode of living. Ephrata has a city-manager now. You can't imagine who he is. Abe Leaman. Mentioning Abe reminds me that I have seen almost all of my 1941 classmates. This morning I had a little spare time so I drove to Clay to see Charlie Kreider and Howard Eckhart. Charlie is a Buick dealer in that thriving town. He is kept busy fixing the cars Howard smashes. Howard has taken over his father's lumber business. I asked him what Reed Doster is doing and he told me that Sonny', is an illustrator for Wild and Wooly Westerns, a magazine published by the firm of Edwards, Erb and Fahnestock, Inc. While I was talk- ing' with Howard, Lester Messner came in to order lumber for an addition to Messner's Emporium at Durlach. I learned that Harry Fry is the carpenter in charge of the new building, and that Eugene Lied, who lives in Mohnton, has the plumbing contract. Lloyd Behmer is a Notary Public and insurance agent, I saw his adver- tisement as I came through Lincoln. After returning to Ephrata, I went directly to the Lily Pad Tearoom, which is operated by Lillian Adams. Two of the waitresses in charge were Dot Lied and Anna Jane Zwally. On going out, I discovered the cashier to be Goldie Kupp, who is engaged to Charles Fellenbaum. Outside I met Bob Ream and Bob Beck. Ream is a captain in the Navy and Beck is a profes- sional fireman. Next I decided to search out a few of my other school pals. I found Helen Eberly at the Community Hospital, conversing with her sister-nurses, Beata Butzer and Vera Martin. Presently, Louise Bearinger, the head dieti- cian, and Walter Fabian, the head surgeon, came along with Jean Herr, who at present is the directress of Miss Herr's School for Girls. On leaving the hospital, I met Jean Buch, proudly escorted by her handsome fiance, Don Johnson. As I walked along Main Street, I noticed a modernistic building bearing the sign 'gBernard Shore, Art Photographer. As I passed, Betty Kochel, the glamorous model, entered the building. I learned later that Dot Donmoyer is also employed there and that Bette Donecker is Bernie's private secretary. The next thing which attracted my attention was a swanky place call- ed t'Louise's School of Beauty Culture, directed by Louise Mann, with Vena Enck, Mabel Minnich and Arlene Wenrich as assistants. The Sand Theatrei' came into View next. There I saw Kenn Sandoe approving the marquee, which advertised the appearance of Marvin B. QBurk- holderj Evans in Macbeth.,'
