193 4 REFLECTOR ‘‘The Sawdust Twins” in “Who’s Your Raby Now?” One of the striking plays given in the same theatre was an all-star final with Pauline Nozsak, Robert Rogers, Phelnia Shaffer, William Wright and Frances Helm. These last two were recently- united in matrimony and are wondering why they didn’t do it sooner. Featured in another theatre were Joe Koss and llene Shull in a midget show; Jim Rorabaugh was their manager. It seems our class is doing excellent work in the dramatic line. We also hear of Olivia Horner as the pianist in the Roxy theatre. William Hodgkins is her publicity agent and some of the magnificent stage scenery was arranged by the scenic artst, Harold Fisher. Mary Louise Esch has become a well-known dancer and Robert Koontz is the president of the Amalgamated Perfume Company. Still other large establishments are the exclusive Fifth Avenue Shop for ladies head, neck and footwear, run by the two Hildebrands, Isabel and Bob; the printing shop which prints all the papers of Ferndale is operated by the Feather Brothers. A charming estate turned to be an orphan asylum under the auspices of Lee Marsh, Alvin Ling, Charles Miller, and Alton Murray. (I always knew those boys had big hearts.) Ferndale has gone in for pleasure places also in a big way. The roller-skating rink at Crystal Beach has grown to alarming proportions and is sponsored by Walter Davis’ John Girouscky, Kermit Griffith, John Howard, Bradford Ix-onard, and Kenneth Zipf. A handsome club ground with golf fields, tennis courts and swim- ming pool, 1 am told, belongs to the Mishler Club which was organized by the three Mishlers, Harold, Glen and Algic. There arc a great many night clubs and in the most beautiful and execlusive of these we find Ruth Wissinger, Lillian Phillips and Betty Pfefferl as hostesses. And in one of the well-known orchestras we hear Don Hite and Albert Horne pouring golden notes from their saxophones. Todd Wendell, Tom Walker, John Lohr and Walter Levergood are floor-walkers in Macy’s Department Store in New York. One of the most entertaining programs of the radio is the California Lima Bean program, featuring Ruth Hindman and Garnet Shaffer as “Two Little Rays of Sunshine.” John Vickroy is already a retired banker and spends his time writing cheering letters to hopeless invalids. There are still others scattered over the Continent. I hear that Robert Hill is the warden in Sing Sing (he holds down ferocious criminals.) And Kenneth and Ernest Brallicr are raising tulips in Holland. And down on Daytona Beach, Ha., you’ll see Flovd Fetterman. Tony Grandll, Clayton Hershberger, Orval Kaufman Louis Kelly and Carl I )hr heroically engaged as life-guards. And last of all and perhaps the happiest, I am informed, are John Bracken and Ralph Kimrnel. who are blissfully married to (as they say) the ‘ two sweet gals on earth, Vera Schrock and Laura Blue, (respectively.) As I sped back to Ix s Angeles. I thought of how well our class has done and how it has helped others, and Frank Keller, who had superintended in l erndale for well nigh fifty years and thought he was due a vacation in Los Angeles, agreed with me.
