IT COULD HAPPEN My how time flies! Here it is 1960 and we are just about ready to start out on a tour fthat is just as soon as the article My Love Affairs in the Past goes to the pressj. This article will probably continue for a lifetime because it is edited by our lover boy, Ray Kater. We are now ready to begin our tour. Our attention is attracted to the jibbering and jabbering of the first sight-seeing tour of the day. The first place we visit is the press office. This group is led by Richard Schalk, who is carefully explaining the machinery of the plant to attentive Williard Bourquein. The most talkative and unimpressed woman of the group is Dorothy Hine, who is more interested in the dresses that the girls wore at the dance last Thursday. The most awkward one is undoubtedly Bill Burgen who stumbles over an electric cord as he is staring at that care-free girl, Joy Kittle, swatting a fly. At this moment, a loud bell is heard and the place is over-run with newsgirls and among them we recognize our dear old friend, Flora Mae Johnston. The papers are distributed and the girls are dismissed to their different routes. The office of the movie editor, Keith Myers, is in a state of dead-line confusion , and the typist, Martha Jacob, is typing away like rain on the roof. Mr. Myers is mistreating a telephone with one hand, while the other rummages in a pile of papers. Hello! Hello! Can't I get any service around here? he bellows at the poor little operator. Gimme outside, Palmer 1264-Hello fhe's practically barking nowj, this Leslie Flick? fa press agent, according to typistsj. Say, listen whatdaya mean taking back that story about Roberta Case, the new French star? What Remember Keithy, your blood pressure-you know what Dr. Bradford Estes told you -Qthis coming from Marthaj. Why I heard her with my two little ears-'I 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, and the typist tells us the cleaning staff includes that one and only great housekeeper, Anna Lee Acra. My how that girl can swing a broom! Say, take a look at that paper the typist has just finished typing-- Eddie Pope to present 'Hamlet' in the Paramount Theater. Production brings renowned Shakespearean actor, Carl Greenham by name, to local stage. Just think! We used to have to go to Cincy to see that play. ' Who should dash in now but the ink-smudged copy boy, Earl Adams Qhe never has grown upj. f We trot on and-Hey! What's that reporter shouting about? Don Printy wins case for Dolores Bath, thrice divorced, and still Miss Bath. She says she owes her life's happiness to such silver-toned orators as that magician with words, Don Printy. All eligible bachelors such as Eugene McQueen please note, she's free again. Publicity has just died down from Printy's last case. He defended Paul Rechenbach, who had been arrested by a patrolman after he kicked the dignified city counsel, Al Schuck, at a political rally in Rabbithash, Kentucky, where Marilyn Miller runs a restaurant. What's Cook'n, Marilyn? Let's rest a while in the lobby and listen to the radio. Listen, there's our old high school Warbler, Gladys Lamb, and she's singing like a baby sister who wants a dime. Here comes an announcement- This is WOW, Harrison's new station, owned and operated by Nora Reatherford. 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 Ruth Evans Krunchy Krackles, Ruth will personally guarantee an interview with Betty Sue Wilson, who is appearing at the Bourquein Opera House fLavadis Bourquein manager! . Go and see Miss Wilson dance to the music of john Ulm and his string ensemble, including Bill Frey and Cliff Downard. Your announcer is June Fuchs. just as the theme song for the story of the Life of Dr. Goodness, starring jack Linker and Dolores Hoerst, 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 photography paraphernalia on her back, but Barbara Edwards.

IT COULD HAPPEN She is just struggling back from a fire on the former North Main Street, now known as Riverside Drive. The new luxurious home of Mr. and Mrs. John Doe Qshe's the former Helen Clarkj caught fire while they were enjoying an evening of fun at the home of Mr. and Mrs. john Fuchs. A nurse was called in to take care of the little girl since the maid, Lola Grubbs, left as quickly as the smoke. When the commotion subsides, in struggles Donald Schaich gazing fondly at his little camera. 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 rake up something else-maybe he'll go into the roofing business, but on second thought, grinning, he might locate Joyce Lawwill Qshe has an artists studio somewherej to see if she needs a model. Every one of our dearly beloved, if a bit bewildering, classmates has admitted that he would love to visit Harrison High School again, so we all start down Broadway, which is lined with awe-inspiring sky-Scrapers, and swelling with the new generation. Aren't we getting feeble? On one street corner a soap box orator is holding a session. Why, it's that dear old Jean Dole. We talk awhile and then we're off again. But what a blow awaits us! The old 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 Harrison High School from which more famous people were graduated than from any other school in the history of Ohio. Full records are within. When we asked the doorkeeper, Billie Mae Shosie, resplendent in the gold braids and buttons, where the school can be found, she tells us that Harrison High School II is situated on soth street. Now, citizens of Harrison High School I, prepare yourself for a shock-the important looking building that has supplanted our school is a museum. Yessir! The Municipal Museum of Harrison. Who knows-maybe 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 black-tiled corridor runs a white line. Hailing the receptionist, Betty Loos, we ask what it's for-to show which side one should walk on? Ladies and Gentlemen, within those white lines stood the greatest institution ever built-Harrison High Schoolf, Betty joins in as we cheer. Well, more power to the class of '50' as we continue on our way. May the years bring to each person the realization of all his finest dreams. PAGE T1-nary-FIVE
