THE MIRROR At this moment Mary Janette informed me that only the day before Grayce and Edwin Warner had been there. Edwin now owns the largest chain of grocery stores in the world. Mary Strnad is his private secre- tary. Now Lloyd spoke. One time about five years ago, he said, a movie company, Glines and Grabelsek, came here to film a picture. Their lead- ing lady was Virginia Skidmore. She used to be Constance Bennett's un- derstudy, but now the glory is all her own. The hero was Edwin Myn- derse. Some of the others were Esther Gray, Lucille Unsinger, Mollie Roth, and Joe Sgamballone. The director was Dorothy Keyes. Pretty good play, I hear. About a year after that the London opera company gave a charity opera here. Aletha Klinger danced in it. Blaine Wilcox sang the lead. At this point he was interrupted by another guide who asked' if a -weary traveler might rest that night in the shadow of the ruins. The other guide was Avon Thackwell, and the traveler Emil Gabor. Emil was traveling around the world on foot seeking experience for another book. Wandering about the grounds, I found interesting initials carved in a window ledge worn soft with years. O. M. G. and G. G. It might be Olga Mraz but who could G. G. be? HS. M. P.- The last initial was obliterated. It was surely Sue Mae, but Sue Mae what? Some were new, among them: 3fZ5'5o '2-' F. P. S. and H. S. I learned later that Henry was Florence Payne's 5 'jtxkird husband and their friends hoped her last. In my rambles I came upon an artist and her teacher. The student was Olive Price, her teacher Gladys Soden. 1 Afternoon was growing old, sunset would soon send lengthening shadows over the castle. It was time to leave. Hurrying toward the gate, I met two women selling little bunches of heather and postcards. Here were two more friends of mine, Lucille Kovalcik and Marjorie Haywood. - At the gate I turned for one last look at Kenilworth. Two dancers were practicing their lovely steps on the lawn. I know them as Leila Nash and Jeannette Warden. I ate my dinner hurriedly that night and hastened to my room to write my story. Hours later Ruth Stokes and Evelyn Silverman, reporters too, stopped in returning from the theater. Ruth thrust the London Mail in front of me. I read the headlines. Page wins contract with Metropolitan. Aren't you surprised ? asked Evelyn. No, I replied, I used to say-the class of '32 can do anything- and it has. .vr I-. I... - - .Ji 1 9 3 2 2,-. H ,.

THE MIRROR Q CLASS PROPHECY By Genevieve Marsh It was a foggy blue Monday in London in the year 1942. Anxiously seeking a feature story, I became involved in a traific jam at Piccadilly Circus. An English bobby appeared and carefully assisted me to the curb. Looking up to thank him I beheld my former G. H. S. classmate, Lincoln Hasenflue. At this moment I caught sight of a bus boundi for Kenilworth Castle. Hurriedly I boarded it. I spent some time wondering where I had heard that guide's voice before. When he answered I don't know to a tourist's question, I recognized Haze Robinson. Now I was more interested in what he was saying. On your right you see the home of Frank Mraz, playwright. His wife, formerly Betty Baker, is America's favorite actress. You have on your left the most famous statute in England, sculp- tored in 1940 by George Grapatin. We are now approaching Davis Circle, named for Francis and Isabel Davis, who proved that Darwin was right. On the right hand is the home of Paul and Rose Russell Fleming, now exploring interior Africa. They are accompanied by Verne Fuller and his wife Kathryn Price. 4 To the left is the Sandler Hospital. On the staff are Dr. Mryl Gill, Dr. David Reid, and Dr. Amelia Urbas, well-known during the last war. We are now approaching the largest bridge in the world, constructed by Hutchinson and Charkoff, American engineers. Hail Kenilworth Castle! Roaming about these beautiful ruins, I found the caretaker, whom I soon recognized as Lloyd Rawson. He introduced me to his wife, Mary Janette, who asked me to take lunch with them. Here I met once again Chester Ralston and his wife, Alice, formerly Alice Parker. Mary Janette showed me the register of visitors. Some of the names were surprising, some enlightening, for instance: Thelma and Dean Christian, New York. Ethel and Dr. Kenneth Clement, Cleveland. Alice Mae Dome and Mamie Berry, missionaries. Margaret Hartner, aviatrix, Geneva, Ohio. Jean and Gerald Warring, Cork, Ireland. Ruth CBealeJ and R. Milton Martin, Washington, D. C. Mary Beretich and Fred McCaughey, Hollywood. Celia Edelberg and Lillian Sweet, teachers, Ashtabula, Ohio. ,-. .-. ,J ,A .-.. .,. A ,. .-I 1 9 3 2 gi A. ,. Page twenty-two
