Class Prophecy Krunchy Krackles box tops and learn to dance like Miss Antenen herself. Your announcer is Howard Brown. just as the theme song for the story of the Life of Dr. Goodness, starring Bill Vidourek and Thelma Hardin, drifts through the room, a loud noise in the outer lobby interrupts the peace we had found, and who should appear, lugging a big pack of photo' graphy paraphernalia on his back but Merrill Swain, followed by Alfred Zugehoer, carrying a case which he briefly explains as 'kfilmsf' They are just struggling back from a fire on the former North Third Street, now known as Riverside Drive. The new luxurious home of Mr. and Mrs. John Weaver fshe's the former Betty Webbj caught fire while they were enjoying an evening of fun at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Allen Rutherford. They called up the VailfWatkins Insurance Company, and Russell and Dick sent out three representatives, namely Ralph Felger, Bill Frisbie, and Herbert Cox. A pretty nurse, Miss Dorothy Gardner, was called in to take care of the little girl, since the servants left as quickly as the smoke. Except for that, the fire chief, Robert Day, says the damage is small. When this commotion subsides, in struggles Gerhart Ringel gazing fondly at his little camera-the same one he carried into the Review room so often. He speaks to us with his usual friendliness and tells us that the heat from the fire ruined his camera. Now he says he'll have to take up something else-maybe he'll go into the Bruck and Bruns roofing businex with Elman and Carl. Then again he says, grinning, he might locate jackie Lowcnstein Cshe has an artists studio somewherej to see if she needs a model, Everyone of our dearly beloved, if a bit bewilderf ing, classmates has admitted that he would love to visit Hamilton High School again, so we all start out fas soon as the paper has gone to pressj down High Street, which is lined with awefinspiring skyscrapers, and surg- ing with the new generation. Aren't we decrepit? On one street corner, a soap box orator is holding a session. It's dear old George Paxton. In the milling crowd we see many familiar faces from the class of 1940-Marcella Taylor, Jim Frybarger, Leona May Rice, George Procter, Leila Logsdon, and Ella Post. Many fall in, and we're off again. But what a blow awaits us! The old, unpretentious buildings that surrounded the Alma Mater are gone and large stone and steel business buildings loom around us. We can't be in the right place! A new building has been erected in its place-what's that plate there by the door? 'This is the site of the original Hamilton High School, from which more famous people were gradu' ated than from any other school in the history of Ohio. Full records are within. When we asked the doorman, resplendent in the gold braids and buttons, where Hamilton High School can be found, he hastens to tell us that he is one of those graduates uwho ain't famous and that Hamilf ton High School II is situated on 48th Street. Now, citizens of Hamilton High School I, prepare for a shock-the important looking building that has supplanted our school is a museum. Yessir! The Municipal Museum of Hamilton. Who knows-may' be your name is on one of the records or your picture in the hall? We might as well look the place over, we think, so we wander in. Down the middle of the blackftiled corridor runs a white line. Hailing the custodian, james Boykin, we ask what it's for-to show which side one should stay on? Ladies and gentlemen, within those white lines stood the greatest institution of learning ever built- Hamilton High School. He joins in as we cheer .

Class Prophecy 'My Love Affairs in the Past' is going to press next weekl' said the editors, 'iwhich will probably continue a life time, because it is edited by Clif Ferguson. As we are about to leave, a telegraph boy, David Blount, rushes in and delivers to Mr. Bruck a very special news dispatch, Louie, reading to us, announces Misses Eloise Brinkman, Virginia Cavins, Susan Spoerl, Garnet Weber, Helen Brinker, and Hazel Turner of Ted Kulakowski Super Films, Inc., have arrived safely at New York from the war zone. - Signed Don Rook, N. Y. correspondent. We are all overjoyed at the news and now resume our tour. Our attention is now attracted to the jibbering and jabbering of the first sightfseeing tour of the day. This group is led by Howard VanSyckle, who is carefully explaining the machinery of the plant to at' tentive Robert Gebhart, Adele Reynolds, Rowena Whitaker and William Caudill. The more talkative and' unimpressed women of the group include Irene jones Dorothy Richardson, and Virginia Stevenson, who are more interested in the dress that Betty Clark wore to the dance last Thursday. The most awkward one is undoubtedly Howard Vornheder who stumbles over Stella jonson's feet as he is staring at LaVeme Hawthorne swatting a fly. At this moment, a loud bell is heard, and the place is overfrun with newsboys, and among them we recogf nize such personalities ,as Aaron Johnson jr., james Oakes Jr., Vincent Rauch Jr, Don Wells Ir., Bob Caldwell Jr., joe Butch Creech, Ray Minter jr., Don Slug Heinrich, and little Genie Nelson. The papers are distributed to them by Arthur King and Garrett Stillings, and the boys are dismissed to their respective routes. After this commotion has ceased, the telephone operators, Betty Gebhart, Pat Murray, Evelyn Steed, and Evelyn Sharp are seen going out for lunch, and Betty Stiehl, Martha Vogel and Betty Whittingtoii enter to relieve them, The office of the movie editor, Jim Clark, is in a state of ndeadfline confusion, and the typist, Louise Zerfass, is typing away like rain on the roof. Mr. Clark is mistreating a telephone fa new model by Kenneth Brown and Co., with one hand, while the other rummages in a pile of papers ffrom the Swanky Paper Co., Dean McDonald, presidentj. Hello! Hello! Can't I get any service around here? he bellows at the poor little operator-Emma Nagel Gimme outside, Palmer 1264-Hello fhe's practically barking nowj, this Mike Hilz? KA press agent, ac' cording to typistsj R'Say, listen, whattaya mean taking back that scoop about Beebe Segers, the nevv French star? What? K'Remember Jimmy, your blood pressure--you know what Dr. Virgil Bishop told you -fthis from the typistj. 'RWhy I heard her with my two little ears-KI love heem dearly' That's what she said! Why you blankety blank! As the battle rages, we look around us and see how orderly everything is fjust like jimj, and Miss Zerfass tells us the cleaning staff includes those great housekeepers, Marie Adams and Fay Allen. Say, takealook at that paper she has just finished typing- EEugene Epperson to present 'Hamlet' in the Para' mount Theater under the management of Carl Benson. Production brings renowned Shakesperean actor to local stage. just think! We used to have to go to Cincy to see itiand look what else it says-Margie Whittlesey to portray the queen and Constance Plapp to star as the fair Ophelia! Who should dash in now but the inkfsmudged copy boy Tilford Gray the never has grown upj. K'Hey, hurry up there, Leo Harmon's all ready to start the presses rolling. fPresses manufactured by the Over' peck Machinery Corporation, operated by Jim Over' peck, the great physicistj Leaving the Clark office behind, we toddle on. What's that reporter shouting about? Hugh Barrett wins case for Patty Cisle, thrice divorced, and still Miss Cisle. She says she owes her life's happiness fvariety-the spice of lifej to such silverftoned orators as that magician with wordsfHugh Barrett. All eligible bachelors such as Lou Nunn, Bill Kuether, and jack Buechler please note, she's free again. Pub' licity has just died down, the practically incoherent reporter tells us, from Barrett's last case. He defended Edward Begley, who had been arrested by patrolman Pat Malone, after he had kicked the pompous city councilman-Karl Dickerscheid, at a political rally where the milk and honey served were made by Arthur Cruickshank and Co. Let's rest a while in the lobby and listen to the radio, Cby the way it's a Cook, clearest catcher of catchy tunes on the market, and manufactured by Don Cook E! Col Listen, there's an old nfelodyf Day In Day Out. Imagine that! It's janey Freid's theme song. Our old high school warbler, and she's developed quite a new approach singing like a baby sister who wants a dime. Who was that way back in 1939 A.D.-Bonnie something or other --- that's the way Janey is singing. Here comes an announcement- 'RThis is WOVV, Hamilton's news station, owned and operated by Charles Baldwin. Attention, ladies and gentlemen! Have you ever wished to be the life of the party? DO you know how to dance? If you'll send in a box top from Douglas Cain Krunchy Krackles, Doug Cain will personally guarantee an interview with Mary Carol Antenen, who is appearing at the Burg Opera House fDon Burg, manager, with her Whirling Woodland Nymphs, Muriel Burkey, Mabel Steen' bergen, Betty Buell, Mary McMullen, Betty Burkhart, and Esther Cain. Go and see Miss Antenen dance to the music of jerry Butler and his string ensemble, including Robert Spindler, Earl Jones, jim Fritzsche, and Anna South. Then send in your Douglas Cain
