0$ 'CVie CALDRONETTE }e K3V Class Prophecy May 16, 1943: We had a lovely evening for our class of ’33 reunion. Every single mem- ber of the class was there, and everyone declared he had a splendid time. I know Katherine and Muriel and I did. We arrived at the hotel at 8:30 and the first person we saw when we went in was Anna Peters. She is hostess at the hotel. So all four of us walked over toward a big crowd, all of whom I recognized as graduates of the class. In the center of the circle was Elsie Waters, entertaining with her whistling. She is the National Broadcasting Company’s substitute for canaries on all their programs. Albert Forsch, I soon recognized; his face is familiar all over the country as it appears on all the labels of the tonsil it is medicine which he has patented. The roar of a plane heralded the arrival of Andrew Nagy, who made the front pages of the newspapers about a month ago with his non-stop flight around the world. A big blond smilingly introduced himself as Karl Stegmuller and said that he was in the undertaking business. Carl Pitschmann, his old pal, has his embalming establishment next to Karl’s undertaking parlors, and they still co- operate by giving each other business. Charles Garrett has a post in Wash- ington, where he is Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. Sara Miller laughingly asked if she couldn’t furnish a home for me; she is an interior decorator and has planned the homes of a good many of the “400”. Leo Koren I recognized at once. Every baseball fan knows that he was catcher with the champion Cleveland Indians last year, and David Melville, the manager of the team, is equally famous. Doris Keyse I knew by her voice, which goes all over the nation every day as she broadcasts the morning setting-up exercises. Alzora Waterman told me she was dietician at a big city hospital, and Daisy Austen also said that she was head nurse at the same institution. Salvia Laurie, who was one of Miss Howard’s prize pupils in the old days, is a dress designer. Joe Zuzek, who managed the advertising of our “Caldronette,” is now advertising manager with the Saturday Evening Post. Gordon Hejduk had come all the way from Madison for the occasion and told me proudly that he had a record yield of 530 bushels of potatoes per acre last year. Rosalind Trass, who is private secretary to Lewis Cone, now a successful business man, told me that he had just married for the third time, and Lewis later said that it was true. Frank Green, who always loved law and order back in M. M. H. S , had taken off his policeman’s uniform to don full dress for the reunion. Jean McKeith played her first golf at the Madison course and is now the Women’s Champion in this country. Robert Schack and I were reminiscing about the days when we were both on the high school court; lie said that he was now Judge in the Municipal Court in New York City. I saw Carlyle Ernst, who is a tree sur- geon. talking very earnestly to Lawrence Seidel. Lawrence is an engineer at the new 500,000 watt radio station in Cleveland. Eunice Lossing’s line of beauty products is used by women all over the world, and Eunice herself is very smart and distinguished looking. Grace Whipple and I, when she told me that she was a professional roller-skater, had a good time laughing over Continued on Page Twenty-four Page Pleven

Juniors In three hundred words I am to tell of the best class M. M. H. S. has had, or will have (with the possible exception of next year’s Senior class). Didja ever see such a diversified, dignified (sniff) and versatile bunch o’ folks in your life? ’Course not! This, ladies and gen’lemen, is the one and only Junior class of 1933, the best available for the occasion. We have with us today representatives from every organization, (almost) in school: Basketball, Football, Dramatics, Ag. Club, Hi-Y, G. R., and Scholarship Club (I m’self am one of the many who aren’t in that last one). Then as a matter of custom we injured the Seniors’ dignity by asking them to “Prom” with us, April 22nd. An blow me down if we didn’t have a real exclusive Junior party October somp’n. That same month the class was divided into teams of green and gold for selling magazines. After a week of the magazine racket, we had raised blisters, Ned, and Prom money. You see (I’m green) golds lost, gave a party and as the stories say, “Lived happily ever after.” Popgum, peacorn, and chewing nuts, such was our celebration. Stunt night came and went as most nights seem to have a bad habit of doing. The mem’ries linger on ! The erstwhile G. Washington (Walt. Bates) and the recalcitrant ’larm clock—’member? And how cute Marthy (Elinor Johnson) and George looked investigatin’ that Vacuum cleaner! (The nasty thing spat at me, George!) Continued on Page Twenty-seven Page Twelve
