Freshman boys show, in spite of their rather low basketball scores, great possibilities for the future.

We compliment the Junior class on their excellent presentation of their class play “Tish”. Its success truly displayed their _ dramatic talents.

Sponsor Mr. Rich This group is composed of two representatives from each of the four upper grades and one each from the seventh and eighth grades. Election to one of these offices is a high honor. The fine spirit of co-operation between students and faculty is, in a large measure, due to the general success of the student Council. Chapel services, assembly programs, pep sessions, money raising campaigns, decorations for special seasons and occassions are all planned here. In recent years these promoters of student welfare have been responsible for our electric score-board, a new set of stage scenery, new cheer leaders’ uniforms, provided a system of student monitors on hall duty at noon, and proves the ability of our students to assume responsibility. 13 TATTLER ’42 PURPLE AND GOLD STAFF Back Row—Left to right, Doris Wallace, Mardine Sutton, Charlene McLaughlin, Ruth Hall, Lewis Garling, William Mohr, Ruby Cramer.

The “Purple and Gold” endeavors to interpret school activities for the entire community, to promote the right kind of school spirit, to inform the student body about school and community events, and to offer valuable training in journalism to any student interested. The Staff works in close collaboration with the advanced typists, who must be given their share of the credit, since they have the none too glamorous job of typing each article in the allotted space. Anyone who has the time and inclination to serve on the Purple and Gold Staff in the upper six grades may do so. 14 TATTLER ’42 TRUE AMERICAN GIRLS Back Row—Rena Belle Cline, Natalie Glover, Mildred Walker, Rosemary Murphy, Ann Davenport, Dorlene Frank.

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization for farm boys enrolled in Vocational Agriculture in High School. There are four degrees: Green Hand, Future Far- mer, State Farmer and American Farmer. In addition to their regular meetings, these boys carry on many interesting projects, such as; exhibits at county and state fairs, local corn husking contests, judging contests, spraying program, treating seed wheat, oats, corn and potatoes, Grange programs, pest hunts, annual outings and many other things. Its purpose is to develop in agriculture students a deep interest in Agriculture, to train each boy in leadership, organization, character, thrift, co-operation, scholarship, recreation, citizenship, service and patriotism. 19 TATTLER ’42 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Instructor, Miss Gamber Back Row—Left to Right, Nancy Taylor, Mary Ann Baum, Jean Wollet Jean Schmucker, Wilma Ledyard, Ruby Kuhn, Jane Ford, Eva Bell Knisely Ruth Love, Ardith Towne, Arlene Snow, Beverly Robinson, Elnore Kinkaid, Ruby Cramer, Erma Kizer, Margaret Walter, Doris Wilson.

There are only eight original members remaining. They are; Erva Hochstetler, Onia Everingham, Durlene Hale, Marvin Kline, Charlene McLaughlin, Arlene Snow, Billy Stienem and Robert Towne. The class, up until our Junior year, has never done anything outstanding. In our Junior year we presented “Footloose,” which was a very successful play. In the spring, on May 24, 1941, we gave our Junior and Senior banquet. This was carried out in a military scheme. During our four years of high school we have selected a class sponsor for each year. As Freshmen we chose Mr. Merle Reed, who continued in this capacity during our Sophomore year. Mr. Adolph Madaras sponsored us in our Junior year and Mr. Glenn Rich in our Senior year. As our class moves into the future we hope each member will be able to accomplish and carry on with the success that they have enjoyed as a class.

After driving for a block or two I found just the place for my transformation —“MargieV'—! Unfortunately there was no parking place near, but there was one, just beyond the intersection. In an attempt to make the green light, I stepped on the gas and was about to congratulate myself on the way I'd slid through, when a cop’s whistle sounded. Neatly sliding the car to the curb, I awaited the results and, sure enough, I got them. “Well, where’s the fire, young lady? Or did you think that yellow light was a star?” “Why, for goodness sakes! So this is where you’ve been keeping yourself for the past 6 or 7 years. How are you anyway?” The cop stared at me in amazement and started to say “Whaddaya mean” when his face broke out into smiles and he heartily returned the greeting I had given him. For the cop was Marvin Schaffner! Yes sir, he’d gone through 2 years of college and then taken up police training and is now a veiy valuable man on the city police force. Well, being old friends and all, he forgot all about the ticket and I started across the street to the beauty salon. A 1 turned around to wave goodbye to Marvin, the light turned yellow again and someone came out of the intersection and knocked me down. Oh, Oh! There goes my stockings and my freshly pressed suit! Wow! Why don’t people watch what they’re doing and wait for the green light? ‘Gee, I’m terribly sorry, miss. I didn’t see you. Are you hurt?” “Why you you—are— Curtis Link! Of all people!” “Say what’s going on here?” By now we were surrounded by people and Marvin had broken through the crowd to take things over. When he saw who it was, he just laughed out loud and congratulated me for falling so hard! But we were holding up traffic so again Marvin forgot the ticket and Curtis asked me if he could drive me back to my apartment to change my damaged clothes. Oh, he'd be glad to pay for them but I said that was o. k., at least it was a novel way of meeting old acquaintances. On the way to the apartment, Curtis told me he was a bookkeeper in one of the banks in the city and that all those problems he’d had so much trouble with in bookkeeping at school were the simplest things he'd ever seen. We talked over old times and then he took me back to Marvin’s corner with a promise for a dinner date that night. Bidding Curtis goodbye until 8:00, I hurried without further ado to “Margie’s”. As 1 opened the door to the swanky little shop, a girl in uniform came forward to greet me and I instantly recognized her as Evelyn Bennett. My, my, such a lucky day, meeting all my old school mates in such rapid succession. “Did I know who run this shop? Why Marjorie Roth! She’d been in practice here for 5 years and had a splen- did business. Yes, and Helen Barringer was working here, too. Had I heard about Virginia Aungst? Well, up until last month she had had a little shop in Brooklyn. Marjorie had seen her in the supply shop on Madison Avenue and they had exchanged news and Virginia told Marjorie that she was moving to a larger shop in Chicago. They had received a letter only last week saying she was nicely established and was getting along fine. Theo McKinney had gone and got herself married and Charlene McLaughlin has a swell position in Washington as Home Economist. At three that afternoon, I emerged from “Margie's” beauty salon feeling and looking like a new person. Why, just look at all the people I’d come in contact with again. Climbing into my car, I started to back up and back up I did—right into someone’s front grill. Hopping out of my car, I started to investigate the damage inflicted and was met halfway—by Billy Steinem. He was on his way to a lawyer’s convention in Philadelphia. Well, I must do a little shopping for tonight. Let me see. Where shall 1 start? Oh yes, Baker’s first. That darling little hat would be just the thing for tonight and perhaps some gloves to help perk up my ensemble. “Could you direct me to the accessory department, please?” Certainly the- -“Can it really be you? Why what have you done to yourself?” “Donald Shmidt. So this is the niche you’ve carved out for yourself floorwalker!” “Oh, no, I was merely looking around for a birthday present. I’m a commercial artist now —design stage sets and for a little variety, fix up billboards with something new and different.” Only minutes later I left the store with my purchases under my arm and hurried to a little restaurant for something to eat before returning to my apartment. When the dessert was brought to me it looked and tasted so splendid that I couldn’t resist asking who made it. I was informed that the owner, who acted as part time cook, had fixed it. Further questioning brought out the name Doris Fidler—indeed the same one I’d known. She was the owner of this quaint little New York restaurant and was I glad to see her. I vowed right there and then to eat here at least £ nce a week and so far I’ve never regretted my decision. She’s really a grand cook. As it was still early I decided to go to the movies. That would leave me two hours to get ready for din ner. Besides I’d nothing else to do. It was too late to go to the studio and I’d just phone Denny, he leads the orchestra for which I sing, and tell him that I couldn’t make rehearsal. Completing the call I scouted around for a really good movie and came upon one in the heart of the city. If looked exciting and proved to be just that. The ticket seller turned out to be Nancy Taylor, who said she'd seen Loyd Cam- 38 TATTLER ’42 ron several days ago and learned that he was on his way to Kelly Field for position as ground mechanic. So after much ado and chatter I finally settled in a chair to hold the magic of the silver screen. Sudden ly a voice beside me said, “Hello, stuckup. When did you hit the Big Town?” And there sat Dean Knisely. From then on neither of us paid any attention to the movie and we got some pretty dirty looks, PH tell you. Really we should have gone out into the lobby but we were too busy talking. Dean, I learned, had an office on Wall Street and was doing quite well in stocks and bonds. At six o’clock I left Dean and started for my a-partment. Something started rattling in the car and so I stopped at a garage. Richard Davis came to the rescue and fixed the rattle in a jiffy. As usual he did not say much and I learned little about his experience, other than the fact his present occupation as grease-monkey was merely a stepping stone to management of his own garage. At least he realized it’s safer to start at the bottom and work up rather than to start at the top and fall down. The two hours I’d set aside for dressing was fast slipping away but if I didn’t run into any more people I might have an hour and a half left to get ready in. Oh, come on, Feet get me down to the apartment door before I meet someone else. But Feet were slow and right square in front of the entrance I met Erma Kizer, Erva Hochstetler and Ruby Cramer. I couldn’t resist the temptation of asking what they were doing. Ruby had been to art school, and now did portraits; Erva had a splendid position with the Philharmonic Orchestra and Erma was personal maid to one branch of the DuPont family. They had all taken the day off to celebrate Ruby’s engagement and were really having a time. After leaving them I did manage to get dressed before eight and had a few minutes to spare. So before Curtis came I switched on the radio and listened to a dance orchestra. When the announcer introduced the next song, he reminded the listeners that we were listening to the music of Pierre Phillips who would soon be leaving to join his fellow officers in the army. Could this be the same Pierre I had known? After seeing so many old acquaintances today—well it wouldn’t be surprising. “This is WJR, Detroit, Your announcer, Dale Waldfogel.” So there was another 42’er. Gee, if this kept up all night too I’d soon know where they all were. Just then Curtis came and we buzzed down to the Broadway Theatre to see a new play that was opening there. Looking through the list of characters we ran across the name Lillian Sly and thinking it just a coincidence settled back in our seats to watch the arrival of the other theatre goers. “Look down there in the door. Doesn’t that look like Betty Thrasher?’ And then the curtain went up and the play started. At the intermission we went out into the lobby and bumped into Betty and her escort. She had be- come a private secretary and this was her boss’s son Well, nice going, Betty. You’ll reach the top yet! Then we asked her about the names in the cast and yes, that was our Lillian So we sent a note backstage and settled back for the rest of the performance. While we waited for a cab outside the theatre I noted something familiar about the doorman. When he turned to help me into the cab, I recognized him as Dorman Merrilat. Didn’t have much time to talk, but he did say Gilbert Viers was still being told by Telia and he promised to drop Curtis and I both a line before too long. Our delay had aroused the driver’s temper and he poked his head out of the window in disgust. Shamefacedly we got into the cab and glared right back at—Frederick Fish. On the drive to the downtown restaurant we questioned him about various ones of our class. Since he had only recently left home, he gave us a lot of information a-bout our other classmates — Marvin Ely was a radio technician in Detroit. Yes, getting along fine; Duane Nicolen had become the captain of one of the huge ocean liners and after he docked in 2 weeks he was going to be married. Jim Day was married and settled down, at last! and Cletius Munsell had gone to engineering school and was now working on a government project in South America. By this time we had reached the restaurant so we bid Frederick adieu and went inside. As we were checking our wraps—no, no, I’ll keep my hat on, thank you! Why of course it’s a hat, Mr Link!—-the head waiter came to escort us to our table. Curtis has very good taste, for he had chosen a nice secluded little spot with palms on two sides, but in full view of the orchestra and the space set aside for dancing. Oh, yes-er-but to get back to the waiter. Handing us the menus he motioned to another waiter to take over and when 1 looked up to give my order there stood Norman Merrilat. While he served us we asked questions and answered his as nearly as possible. He told us that only recently Howard Frazer had eaten at that very table and had told him he was on his way to Washington to take over the office of foreign diplomat. Also that Marvin Kline was a frequent visitoi here—in fact, he was very well known in all the ritzy restaurants in the city for he’d become quite a playboy and was always tossing someone’s affections around. That brought a laugh when we remembered how shy (?) Marvin had been in school and then Norman hurried away to his duties. As we were marveling over how strange it was to hear about most of our old classmates on the same day, the house lights were dimmed and everyone settled back for the floor show. We enjoyed it very much and were turning back to our dinner, which had arrived in the meantime, when the orchestra struck up a number and announced their vocalist. Why, we couldn’t believe our ears. But our eyes didn’t deceive us for there was Florence Thorp— (Continued on Page 64) 39 TATTLER ’42 SNAPSHOTS Upper Row, left to right Schoolmates, Pals, Blue Blooded Juniors Second Row, left to right Time Out, Experts, Dean-Evabelle!!

Since we had to wait for our dessert, Curtis suggested we stopped “Sitting this one out” and dance. Really experience is a wonderful thing for he was as much surprised in my improvement at that particular art as I was of his accomplishment in the same field. In fact we were doing so well that neither of us paid much attention to what we were doing and we smacked right into another couple. As we turned to receive the full force of the storm we felt coming, someone laughed and Bob Towne, one hand holding his eye profered the other one to Curtis, who shook it heartily and earnestly. But we mustn’t stand here. For goodness sakes people are trying to dance. Won’t you and your a-a friend join us? Our table is over here. Returning from the women’s lounge we girls found Bob and Curtis with their heads together talking as fast as they knew how. We joined them and it was much, much later, in the wee hours of the morning, as we were driving to my apartment, that Curtis told me about Boh. He had inherited his father’s farm the year before and had discovered oil on it. So he retired from the dairy business and was having a good time. Before he left home for the city, he heard that Galen Cline was married and was farming in Wisconsin. Arlene Snow was married and lived in Detroit. Her husband was a radio announcer. He hadn’t heard for sure about Ardith Towne, but he thought perhaps she had gone to California to open a beauty school, as that had been her plan. Betty Wright was the proud mother of twin boys and everything was coming along fine. And guess what A. L. Ford was doing. Why, he had become one of the top rankers of the ring and was scheduled to fight in one week at Madison Square Garden. Incidentally, Curtis phoned yesterday and said he’d made reservations, so I’m off to the ringside! One by one we had unconsciously checked off the members of the class of ’42 and by this time were fairly well versed in their various activities. There were still some about whom nothing had been said. However, from the way things had looked in the spring of ’42, it was but a simple matter to figure out the “careers” of Mildred Taylor and Durlene Hale. My suspicions have been confirmed, as I received two of the sweetest cards--one from Mildred, who, despairing of so many Waynes, had chosen a name occurring farther up in the alphabet. The other was - from Durlene, which showed a decided diversion from D’s and Juniors. So that was that. But I couldn’t help wondering what “he” had thought about it. Won’t you stop in for a last summing up of the day? There’s a swell fire in the fireplace and it will be perfect for a setting for memories. Oh, come now you know you do. Put your hat on the table and- -oh, here’s a letter someone’s left. Excuse me while I read it? Why it’s from John Graf. He just got my address from Dorman Merrilat at the Broadway Theatre and had come to see me before he left for Florida. He was going there for his health and would I please write to him. There was one more to talk about and now what about Charles Vanlerberg and Leonard Wollet? Well, from hints dropped here and there and some simple addition, like 2 plus 2 equals 4, we pieced together their present occupations too. Leonard had made his dreams come true and now owned a gas station of his very own in New Mexico. Charles had also shaken the dust of Ohio from his shoes when he eloped with a fair young lady and wrent to Louisiana to live. I can’t thank you enough for the most lovely evening. And now goodnight. Yes, you may give me a ring tomorrow. And the door closed on one of the most exciting days I’ve known for a long time. Me? Oh, I just go around bumping into people quite unexpectedly and try to make rehearsals for broadcasts on time. 64 4 A'' Jf afc- V ; - ;MWl � 'Cv ‘ -V,' v ; £x % I jV� • j ' • 'Vv-; .•' x’A ‘ 4V £VA •- ..• , ♦’ifi r • j .
