25 YEARS HENCE You are invited to take a tour with us to look over the accom- plishments ot the Class of 1951. We take off early on a beautiful July morning in a large six- motored iet-powered passenger plane owned and piloted lay James Aylward. incidently, he owns many others and some larger than this one. An attractive stewardess comes down the aisle and asks if there is anything she can do to make us more comfortable, and who is this pretty girl but Lois Applegate. At first Lois does not recognize us, but when she sees who it is, she tells us that Nancy Corrill is also working for Mr. Ayl- ward as his personal secretary. After learning of Nancy, we lack at our schedule and the list of addresses given us so we can find every one of our old classmates. By the way, this list was prepared by Ethel Hamil- ton, secretary and stenographer for Jean Mitchell. Jean has been very successful in her ambition to be a postmistress. She is now Postmistress General of the United States. According to the schedule, we should be flying over Iowa. As we look downward, we wonder which of the beautiful green farms belongs to Karl Walker! who we are happy to hear is doing quite well. We soon should be near California where we hope to see Jerry Wood. Jerry is the head coach of basketball at one of the nation's largest universities. This is not far from Hollywood where we will see, if she has the time, June Tucker who is now a very popular model. If you donlt think so, just look on the cover of the leading magazines. As we are ready to leave the Hollywood airport, we happen to meet Florence Lear and Waunda Martin. Florence is about to board the plane to Columbus as a stewardess, while Waunda is on her way to Ohio State College where she will take over as the girlsl athletic director. We are now leaving Hollywood for the Lig army airport in San Antonio, Texas, where we shall meet Walter Hamilton. Walter is the commanding officer at the airport. We all ate a delicious dinner prepared for us by Patsy Jones and Jean Krebs. Patsy and Jean are in the WACS, and they are very good cooks. We are now flying south toward old Mexico. Just across the border there is a town owned wholly by Bob McDonough. He came here soon after graduation and started a paper mill. It has now grown to be the largest on the continent. We agree that one reason tor his success is his reliable stenog- rupher and secretary, Jean Burton. 22 After visiting Bob, we take oFl northeast over the Gulf of Mexico toward Oak Ridge, Tennessee, but wait a minute, Jim, fly a little lower. Sure enough, there is the newest battleship afloat which is the ship that Walter Williams is commanding. If our information is correct, there is another of our class- mates aboard. Joan Gilpin, to be exact, for she has been in the WAVES for ten years now and is said to be doing quite well. We are now over Oak Ridge, where we can see Frank Powell's life's work. He is now the head of the research and testing laboratory. He has a very able receptionist, Phyllis Moore, who is quite happy at her work. We fly on to New York City where we are met by the head of the WAAF, Mary Price. She has been very successful in her work. We are then taken to the WoI-Mor Hotel which is owned and operated by Calvin Morris and George Wolbers. According to Calvin and George, Calvin was quite successful in the used car business and George in the farming business, As soon as he started farming, oil was discovered on his farm, and he has made quite a fortune. At the desk we see Jean Parker, who is now a comptometer operator for Calvin's and George's many interests. She is quite a busy girl. But she takes time to tell us to listen to the radio at seven-thirty. We turn on the radio in time to hear Jacque Shoemaker play- ing his trumpet. Jucque has his own orchestra and he is now playing at the Stork Club. As we are about to leave the Wol-Mor Hotel, we see a small gray-haired man that catches our eye. He is very familiar. Why, it is none other than our old adviser, Mr. 099! My, what a pleasant surprise. So we must stop to chat awhile with him. During our talk with Mr. 099, he tells us that Carolynn Bradley and Wanda Bohnekamp are working at a nearby hospital. From his information, they are doing quite well. Now we have but a few more calls to make. Let us fly to Cleveland to see Jim Fergusani Jim, as many of you know, is the right guard and captain of the Cleveland Browns profes- sional football team. As we fly over the City of Good Will, we wonder how Mary Pummill is getting along at her teaching iob in the university. Mary! as our information goes, is teaching mathematics. On reaching home, we sent an account of our trip and our best wishes to Willard Snyder, a Captain in the Marines, stationed in the Philippines, whom we are unable to visit.
