TATTLER c c) TOMORROW’S STORY With a smile on my face and a sons in my heart I handed the manager my monthly report, donned my wraps and pressed the elevator button, ready to leave. Why? This afternoon my vacation started. Where? To see some of my old classmates of 34. A plane was leaving, at six o’clock, for Chicago. So I would have time to do some shopping and packing before I had to leave. I went into a smart dress shop on Fifth Avenue. Who do you suppose addressed me as proprietor of the shop Elsie Brackman. As I opened the door a little newsboy rushing by knocked a package from my arm. Before I had time to pick it up a well dressed gentleman handed my package to me. I thanked him and as he tipped his derby I recognized the President of the New York National Bank, Ellsworth Moore. He said he was on his way to have his portrait made by that famous portrait painter, Revah Love. Imagine my surprise when I boarded the plane to find that Viola Eicher was our hostess. We had a friendly chat and she said that the pilot of the plane was her husband, none other than William Foley. Viola also told me that Ivan Schaffner was now President of Brazil, South America. It seems that he has done much to improve living conditions down there. She said that only recently Catherine Baker and Vera Howell were hiking over Europe to get ideas for a book on domestic and foreign etiquette. We arrived at Chicago in the evening. I registered at the hotel and was shown to my room. I gasped ✓ when I met the owner of the hotel, Clair Billow and his wife, Geneva Brink. In the lobby, I bought a newspaper. Tne first notice that caught my eye was the topic “The World Claims A New Celebrity.’’ Reading further it seems that Miss Irene Pierce has become a renowned scientist on milk germs. I decided to go to the theater. The newsreel was being shown when I arrived. Imagine my astonishment whem I saw that my classmate, Flossie Weiser, famous critic on modern literature, had awarded Wanda Roth the Pulitzer prize for writing the best novel during the year 1953. Now for the play “Rose Marie,-’’ and who do you think was playing the lead? It was Melba Lester. The first thing I noticed on the program was that the play was directed by the well-known playwright, Geraldine Pruden. I went backstage after the play was over and we all had a friendly visit. Back at the hotel, I went into the dining room where an orchestra was playing and ordered my meal. When I was going out of the dining room I tripped on the steps and sprained my ankle. So I had to be taken to the hospital where a famous doctor, Stanley Ely, attended me. I also talked to Treva VanNortwick who was head nurse. The next morning as I was leaving the hospital I met Marguerite Stowell. She said that she had sprained her wrist in a piano concert. She was returning to the Metropolitan Opera as soon as possibie. The next day I stopped in Fayette. I went into Casey’s Ice Cream Parlor where I was greeted by Catherine Lloyd. She told me she had just received a telegram from her husband, Elmer Kunkle, saying that he had secured a patent on his catch-all mouse trap. Incidentally, the idea had bit him while in American History Class of 34. She told me that William Nungester and his wife, Norma Borton, were doing some wonderful missionary work in Africa. I decided to stop at an attractive farm house. Much to my surprise I found that it was owned by Lloyd Bretthauer, who had become a scientific farmer. Another shock to me was that the good wife was none other tnan Cleona Borton. We visited and then we both became quiet as we listened to the announcement made over the radio that Alma Belle Stoner was appointed Secretary of Labor. The next program opened with that most alluring radio crooner—Roger Humbert. Gilbert Snow was the radio humorist on the program—in other words the “Joe Penner” of 1953. “Wanna buy a rabbit?’’ It was time for the aeroplane to leave so I continued on my journey. I was satisfied now that I had either seen or heard about all of my friends and I resolved to visit them again in the near future. Florence Acker (2X 1934 gXT)
