THE AQUILA 1939 Class Prophecy Broadway lnn Geneva, Ohio June I, i960 Dear Classmate of '39, The Lake Erie World's Fair, the most stu- pendous, magnificient, amplitudinous, super- collossal world's fair of this century or any other century is being held in your home town of Geneva. Since the Canal has been com- pleted, Geneva has grown by leaps and bounds. You owe it to yourself to come back and visit your home town. You wouldn't recognize the place. Yesterday as l walked down the midway, whom should I meet but Mrs. Jane Barrow Steele and Ellen Beer at the Florida Exhibit where Sophie Latak was dipping orange sher- bet. Jane is happily married while Ellen is still stepping out with Edgar Dennison, the most eligible bachelor in Geneva. We all wanted to see Harry Scott's famous Hula Dancers so we took a bus which hand- some Witter Moon was driving. He told us all about Witter, Jr. and the baby and in- formed us the best place to leave our kids, is Alta Dusenberry's nursery where Agnes Kelly is the English governess. When we ar- rived at the show, Bob Geho was barking for the Hula Hula's and Dan Donovan, who is now mayor of Footville, was stepping up to buy a ticket. When we had found the ex- cellent seats to which Emma Penhollow had ushered us, we discovered we were seated be- side Frances Peterson and Rosalie Christian. Several rows in front of us, we glimpsed Carl Behling knitting some socks. Frances was on a vacation from John Hopkins Hospital after nursing Tyrone Power back to health, now that old age is creeping upon him, and Rosalie is a teacher of math at Western Reserve University. What connection Hula Hulas have with nursing and math we don't know, but anyway Scotty has a great show and all for a quarter. We left, with our search for entertainment well satisfied, but not our appetites. We de- cided to stop at the miniature Waldorf Astoria. On the way, we were detained by Martha Jean Rollins, who insisted upon an- alyzing our hand writing. At last we arrived at the Waldorf Astoria. Who should greet us but Carl Price, the head waiter. We were given delightful seats and Louise Jeppe, the hostess, presented our menus. Perhaps she remembered her old classmates as she care- fully counted the number of menus as well as twenty-three spoons, both before and after. We gave our order and then Glenadore Chapman furnish- ed some supper music. She came to our table and introduced Ruth Johnson, her pianist. When our steak and mushrooms arrived, I knew the unmistakable aroma of Robert Matteson's recipe. And so they were! After finishing the last morsel of Bob's delicious mushrooms, it was necessary to return to Broadway Inn which, by the way, is under the expert management of Mary Cauffield, be- fore visiting Hal Swartz's nite club. Ellen Beer suddenly remembered that she had a business letter to be written so we made our way toward the Chamber of Commerce. Whom should we find but Eva Duplay ready and willing to take our dictation. After chat- ting about old times we finally arrived at the hotel. Freshening up a bit we made a bee line for Hal's nite club. ls it a beauty! And the music - ohooo, even l wanted to dance after traversing the fair grounds all day. It was the unmistakable beauty of Betty Brott and her Melody Snycopators, who have en- deared themselves to the American public. As a special act Charles DeWolf was trying to win Dorothy Lamour's affections with his Charles McCarthy, but Dot seems partial to Edgar Bergen. Well, we can't all be success- ful in love! Back to the hotel, tired but happy from seeing all of my old friends, and who do you suppose was registering at the desk! None other than Albert William Ford, who is now President of the Ford Motor Company. He had brought his own private secretary, Yir- ginia Fleming with him. They both seemed extremely spry after Zl years of work and toil to make the Ford Motor Company the or- ganization it is today. ln the morning I was awakened by the cry of news boys yelling Extra Extra First Woman Lawyer Appears Before the U. S. Supreme Court. I hurried to buy a paper and discovered that our own Pauline Vian was the famous lady in person, and she was en- deavoring to get Don Cirino out of Alcatraz. Poor Don! We know it's all a mistake! As I glanced over the paper I noticed that Dortha Cromwell was running for Governor of Ohio. I know one vote she'll get. There was Lucille Starkey's name on the front page for winning the Pulitzer Prize with her autobiography, Memories of My Childhood. You know me, l simply couldn't miss the society page and here it was announced that Frank Gornick
