In need of relaxation my wife left for the nearest beauty salon and I asked Bill Vaughn where there was a good steam bath. He said that there was an excellent one just around the corner from the hotel. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I discovered that Bob Madden managed it! Much relaxed after my steam bath I settled down to read the “New York Times. ” I turned to my favorite section, the sport’s page, and the headlines aroused my interest. They read, “Charlie Becker Wins Heavy Weight Bout.” The writer of the article was none other than Bill Pasco. As I was reading human interest stories I noticed that Catherine Nash, a social worker, had found an abandoned baby. Just then my wife burst in full of excitement. It seems that the beauty salon that she had gone to was owned and operated by Carolyn Lonser and Joan Shinsky and that they had told her that a great Broadway hit, starring Barry Brumbaugh, was featuring music written by Patricia Miller, I was glad to hear that so many of my classmates were so successful. For entertainment that evening, we went to the Latin Quarter for dinner and dancing. The floor show starred a new dancing team, who had been discovered by Carole Dill, a renowned rumba instructor. Dancing in the chorus line was Donna Eager, who was voted as “the girl with the nicest legs” when we were seniors in high school. The next morning before boarding the Queen Elizabeth we went through customs where our goods were inspected by agent Joe Kaferle. Aboard ship I decided to read the latest issue of Life, whose new editor is Marilyn Woidtke. Leafing through the pages, I saw Doraldine Herlin’s sparkling smile in a tooth paste advertisement. One of the main features of this edition was and article about the Kentucky Derby. Being interested in horse racing, I read the article and found that the winner was Blue Diamond, owned by Marilyn Ferrick of Phoenix, Arizona. My wife was admiring an outfit modeled by Margaret Miller. In the recreation room that evening, we met Tom Gress. His agent, Paul Williams, had scheduled him to race in the famous “International Hotrod Races” in France. The first thing I did upon my arrival in Paris was to report at the office of the Economic Recovery Administration. Also reporting at the office was a young chemist. He and his wife, the former Margaret Mavko, had just arrived by plane. We had dinner at the famous Rue de Pax; just as we were comfortably seated, who should come walking in but Phyllis Kenyon evidently in search of excitement. The first thing my wife noticed was her beautiful gown. Later, when she stopped at our table, she told my wife that it was a Dame Creation. The waiter approaching our table was none other than Eugene Mann. After he had served us he informed us that we were eating honey which had come all the way from Clifford Van Dyke’s honey farms in Ohio. It seems as though I’ve seen or heard of everyone of my graduating class except Edna Kelley. Everyone seems to have lost tract of her. As I look back I am willing to bet that when we were seniors we never dreamed we’d be where we are today. Betty Raveling and Margaret Mavko JONH B. QUIRK SONS Hubbard Rd.

Prophecy (I, Robert Pierfelice, received a notice from the Economic Recovery Adminis- C- tration that I was to leave for France on July 25, 1962, to engineer a new project which the government was building. The day before we left, I went to get my hair cut by my favorite barber, Carl Nicely, who by the way is married and living in Madison. Leaving the children with their tutor, Sue Brichford, we left for Cleveland. We stopped at North Madison to get some gas at Bill Clark’s Hi-Speed Station. In Painesville we stopped at Sear’s to pick up a few last minute items. I discovered that Ed Wentzel is the new manager of the store. I stopped in Cleveland to see my lawyer, who is married to Nancy Kless. His secretary, Ruby Claypool, was one of my high school classmates. Our business settled, we left the car at Art Luhnow’s Garage for the duration of the trip. Boarding our plane for New York, we were surprised to see that Carol Cooper was the stewardess. Carol, by the way, is still looking for an eligible pilot. When her duties were finished, she stopped to talk with us about “the good old days.” She informed us that Ted Eland was piloting our plane. I asked Carol if she still had contacts with Peggy Jones. She said yes, that they had been writing regularly and that Peggy is now a nurse to Drs. Bob Frink and Bert Cochran, who have a joint office in Cleveland, Ohio. About a month before our trip Carol said that Barbara Jerome, now a registered nurse, had flown to England accompanying a wealthy convalescent. Carol also told us that Barbara Fischer had recently flown to Ireland to marry her five-year pen pal, and that Betty Raveling had married a doctor whom she had met while in training. Carol wondered if any of our classmates were still living in Madison. I told her that Anne Sabo is the physical education teacher at our old Alma Mater, Tom Flanigan is a reputed auctioneer, and Dick Harmon is a carpenter working on a housing project. I also told her that Bob Janezic owns a large dairy farm, Judy Cone is married and living in Fairport, and that Kay Donna Kurtz is a housewife caring for her three children. She wasn’t surprised to hear that Tony Malnar had made a career of the army and is now a major, but she was very surprised when I told her Martin Rand had developed a new plant which botanists have been attempting to develop for years. By now we had neared New York and Carol had to leave us to prepare the passengers for the landing. After leaving the airport, we were looking for a place to stay when we noticed a hotel that had a familiar name, “W. A.’s Hotel.” After we registered we were taken to our room by Bill Vaughn, the bell hop. We were much surprised to find him working here and he told us that Bill Swertfager owned the hotel but was down in Florida with his wife taking things easy. Then it dawned on us why the name of the hotel had sounded so familiar. EUCLID ELECTRIC Edwards St. 18 Madison O.
