Class Prophecy---Room 112 Saturday morning dawned bright and early. Ruth Banning, the second Helen Mankin, accompanied by Carolyn Gassan, the famous commercial artist, and Carol Heyn, the chemist who has experienced more than one explosion, are on their way to New York. ., Arriving in New York, we decided to purchase some corsages from Irene Schirner's Florist Shop. We toured Fifth Avenue that afternoon and bumped into our old classmate, Shirley Wood, who is now supervisor of clothing. Our feet being rather tired, we retired to a lecture and were both surprised and elated to find our old friend, Willis Rofkar, the Archeologist, who had just returned from the deep, dark jungles of Africa. The lecture being rather dry, we decided to go to Radio City, where Dave Wilsonls Swingaroo's Band was broadcasting. We met two boys. They were James Brewer, a chemist, and Bob Spencer, a pilot, who were working their way through college. They had a couple of weeks vacation and decided it would be fun to visit the big city. After beautifying ourselves, we were whizzed down Fifth Avenue, over to Times Square, then to Radio City. We were surprised to Hnd Bob Shaw as sound effect man. Next morning we decided to go to the bank. There we met James Keil, the accountant, who had two secretaries, Marilyn Hansen and Margaret Knaggs. His stenographer was none other than Lavon Miller. The boys took us on a tour through a factory that day and we were introduced to the men who made the little wheels go round. They were James Vick, Louis Stuckey fthe big bossj, Jack Schaefer, Tommy Orr, Arland Beachler, and Vernon Copelin. In the afternoon Bob decided to take us up in a new plane, which had been designed by Melvin Bubacz, and Dick Gulvas. Carolyn Gassan went to visit one of her commercial artist friends, Mary K. Sherman. Afterwards We went for a walk through Central Park. All of a sudden Carol cried, My purse, my purse, itls been stolen.'y f'Oh, never mind,', Bob replied, I know the solution to that one. All we've got to do is look up our old pal, Suzanne Shepler. She's the one that solved the WVho Killed Cock Robin Crime,' remember? The next morning while visiting a chemistry plant whose main chemist was Don Lee, James Brewer suddenly got sick. We hurried right over to the T. T. T. Thorley and Sons drug store. Bob Thorley immediately prescribed some medicine called HZO, but this failed to help and so we thought it best to go to Lester Hospital and have Nurse Laurel Price doctor him up. James very willingly consented, and in a short time he felt all right. Bob wanted to visit his father while in town, so we went to his company and found Bob Hayes, as one of his Mechanical Draftsmen and Marilyn Hyman, as his father's secretary. That afternoon the boys received a long distance call from one of their teachers, Betty Burr. She explained that something required the boys' presence at the university at once. The girls took the ten o'clock train to Toledo the next day. Their only remark was, Ah, the end of a perfect tourln -RUTH BANNING, CAROLYN GASSON, BOB SPENCER, JAMES BREWER, CAROL HEYN LONGFELLOW I Z0 1 ECHOES
