Hi OLD ROSE AND WHITE CLASS PROPHECY Clinton. Indiana. November 1. 1946. Dear Blanche: I know you will pardon me for not answering your letter sooner when I tell you that 1 have been entertaining Mrs. Martha Cooper Heard for the past week and she has been telling me of the present actix ities of the members of our class of '26 at Bono. She and her husband, the Rev. Otis Heard, have been touring the Eastern States, holding revival meeting, in which they have been very successful. bile Otis went to St. Bernice to visit some old friends there. Martha stopped here. I was delighted to see her once more, but was very much surprised that she had married Otis, because she always rejected his affections when we were at Bono. You ill remember 1 was also delighted to hear from our former classmates, each of whom she has recently seen or heard from. The first place they stopped while on their tour, she said, was Hitts burg. Pennsylvania. Here she met Leo Aikman, and his wife, who was formerly Kathryn Park, in lobby of the Palace Hotel, lie has just completed a new invention in radio receiving sets. He is getting rich by radio inventions. Leo told Martha that Birman Cooper is also located in Pittsburg, but she did not have the opportunity to visit Firman, who is now the most famous dancing master in the Eastern States. Upon arriving in New York the next evening. Martha and Otis went to the Capitol theater for an evening of recreation. Martha said that she noticed that on the posters outside was printed “Lois Vestal in ‘The Nymph.’ She said that she was very much surprised to find that it was the Lois Vestal of the Class of 1926 at Bono. It is said that she is soon to take the place of Coleen Moore, who is unable to play any more. The next evening they went to the W aldorf Astoria for dinner. They were somewhat surprised to find among the entertainers Vida Skidmore. Maxine Lawson, and Kathryn Goforth, toe dancers. The next week they started for Niagara Falls. Being hungry when they arrived at the station they went to a nearby restaurant for something to eat. On the sign in front of the restaurant was printed “The Eaton Place. The manager of the place proved to be Harry Eaton. He has married a follies girl, and at last has settled down. Harry had just received a letter from James Elder the day before. James and his wife, formerly Thelma Jones, arc missionaries in Africa. James stated in his letter that he hoped they could soon return to the United States, for the hot sun of the tropics is ruining Thelma’s complexion. While out viewing the scenery next morning Martha met Louise Dunk-ley. She has just received a divorce from her millionaire husband in New ork. and is searching for her long lost youthful lover. The next and last place they stopped was in Chicago. 1 suppose you have heard of the great murder trial there. Whom do you suppose the defendants’ attorneys were? Harold Peer and Russell Chisler!
