Whirlpools Below the Dam 1957! Two decades have slowly elapsed since the class of '37 ambled solemnly down the aisles to receive with tear-dimmed eyes a parchment insert and leather cover adorned with red and black letters Kingman High School. This document, called a diploma, kept these people washed near the tide of success. As the Mill Wheel turns, we see the class of '37 in their chosen oc- cupations. First, Royal Hughbanks, senior president of our class, is a life guard at Niagara Falls. He is noted for the cause of many un- happy honeymoons. Lo and be- hold, if there arenit Jean and Venora. Jean is Mrs. W. Brown now with five little Brownlets, and they all have red hair and freckles. Venora has been work- ing at a peanut stand. The owner is Ed Farnsworth. She is to be- come Mrs. R. Brown as soon as he gets out of school. Jean told us Warren, the dear, was getting S10 a week working in a glass-b1ow- ing factory. He always was quite windy, you remember. If there isn't Jerry Riggs. She has become quite famous as a fan dancer. Tsk-tsk, who would ever have thought it. Oh, here we are at an airplane factory. In the shop we see Carl Jones. He told us not to tell anyone, but all he does is screw the nuts on the airplanes. Well, Carl, outside there are 3 air- planes spelling the name, King- man High School in the sky. We learned that the pilots are Doris Hall, Vivian Lynch and Ruth They are all quite fam- expert stunt fliers. A transport plane has just Those air hostesses look Why itis Dorothy Wen- Bernadine Govert. They Wagner. ous as K. H. S. come in. familiar. iger and are helping Farrel Nelson off the plane, he became airplane sick, poor fellow. He owns a brick mine in China now. They say he has had a very unhappy life be- cause of his many unsuccessful marriages. We must not forget Levi Matlack, who is the pilot of this airplane. The wheel keeps turning, and we see a very modern up-to-date restaurant. It looks so appetizing that we go inside and there we see two very charming waitresses, and who could they be but Wilma Bane and Martha Duerksen. We note sev- eral very prominent people eating here, such as Mary Louise Fowler, Page Fourteen Q00 a second Sherlock Holmes. We were warned not to take anything, not even a souvenir, while she is around. Upon inquiring who owned the cafeteria, we learned that Bob Yeoman was now the world's most wanted chef. He had chosen to do the cooking in his own restaurant. We must say he had all of the class way back in 1937 fooled. The principal of K. H. S. is sit- ting over in the corner, too. We surely have you fooled again be- cause it's Francis Zoeller. Mr. Gish retired last year in order to raise chickens on a farm south of Kingman. Over there's a group of K. H. S. radio stars. They got their start from the first radio broadcast ever held in Kingman, Crazy Mike . The people, who have succeeded in radio are Viola Base who gives recipes each morning from nine to nine-thirty and Margaret Hobson, a blues singer over Darwin Mark- well's hit parade sponsored by B. O. Soap and Co. We find that the class of '37 is quite well represented in Holly- wood, too. Thereis Bob Cloud, a second Clark Gableg the one thing that keeps him from being swamped by the girls of film land is that he is married to that old stand-by, remember her? How could you forget? He has two sets of twins in his family, too. Verna Wymore has taken the place of ZaSu Pitts, and she's even more popular than ZaSu was. Nola Pot- ter provides the voice of Betty Boop in motion pictures now and is making quite a success of it. Doris VanLandingham has run Si- mone Simon out of Hollywood, and everyone thinks she came straight from Paris, but she could not fool us. Ralph Starkey and Wilbur Sloan are joint owners of the largest newspaper in the world, The Knowall, See All and Hear All . Charlene Weikal has a scandal column in the paper. They say she gets all the births, deaths, weddings and divorces a month before they happen. She's quite good. Robert Hart is the foreign correspondent for the pa- per, he spends most of his time in deepest Africa trying to get out. Ned Frisbie is a small doctor in a large hospital in Los Angeles. He is quite concerned about his wealthy, women patients. Several of the nurses we recognize, too. Marcella Beat is head of the chil- dren's floorg you should hear them cry. Velma Catlin is head dieti- tian. You should eat some of the dishes she prepares, too. Dick McAdam has a flea circus in.Ken- tucky and such very intelligent fleas! Bernice Conrardy makes cute little suits for these fleas. Helen Jean Gillen was the par- son in the wedding of Beatrice Reinoldt and Harold Kistler-we hope they get along better than Maggie and Jiggs. Betty Jo Krehbiel, a Salvation Army lassie, can always be found in the center of a crowd singing hymns. Rozella Biggs writes cowboy stories. All her readers think she was reared in the West, but we know she's never even seen it. Aubrey Campbell and Bayard Robinson have joined the circus. They put on a side show: Bayard is a snake charmer, and Aubrey a sword swallower. It is really quite thrilling to watch them do their tricks. You know that saying, Birds of a feather flock together. Marv Alice Hornbaker is working at the institution at Larnedg she remarked it was an entertaining occupation. Mike Ortiz is also a teacher. He teaches athletics in southern Mexico. Organ Grinder Roy Webber and his monkey entertain all the little children in Mary Jane Murray's nursery. Mary Jane says anytime you want her to keep your chil- dren just call 3333-she has all kinds. Virginia Brand, opera star, warbles constantly, but don't blame us-we did our best. Ronald Kincheloe demonstrates his ability by being a rocking horse demonstrator. Eva Birzer and Hulda Schroeder are joint managers of a matrimonial agency. Dan Cupid informs us that he couldn't get along without them. Alma Jane Wallace and Roberta Moore have whats at the beginning of a bread line. Alma Jane makes the bread and Roberta butters it. Robert Jenks is that Ole Man in the Mountaini He wouldn't think of ever leaving home. Harold Compton has the chosen occupation of an undertaker. He is just about takenunder by the depressing occupation. An inter- national spy, Myrtle Hinderliter, knew about everything but mum was the word for her. Mildred Claxton works in a flag-making factory. She states she makes dozens of flags each day. We al- ways thought Mildred was patri- otic. Oscar Fettig is a designer of modernistic bathtubs. Everybody likes to take baths in his bathtubs. They are really very charming. There's LaVeta Settle-she's still an old maid. A rich uncle died and left her just thousands of dollars and they say all she buys is cats, canaries, and parrots. fShe looks under her bed every night in hopes of finding a man--but such is life!l
