LOOKING AHEAD Hello! Today I had the most extraordinary, yet enjoyable experience that a person could have. Returning from a trip to a friend ' s, I had just reached Indianapolis, where our plane stopped for a routine checkup. Browsing through the buildings, I came across Eugene Miller, a classmate of mine. After all matters of formality were completed, he offered to take me on a tour of the future. Stepping through the doorway on our right, I noticed that 1950 was printed above the door. Here I saw Richard Powell as superintend¬ ent of the best mechanics and architects working on a very large and artistic structure. Later I learned that this was the beginning of the post war air-travel. Bill Cook, Ralph Stiles, Phillip Davis and Henry Rose were among the skilled carpenters working on the building. Almost missing a group of ladies working along the side, I asked Father Time what art these were employed in. He told me that three of the ladies, Esther Hurt, Suzanne Chenoweth, and Audrey Lemons were fash¬ ioning the interior of the building, representing the Dame Rumor Interior Decorating School, of which Betty Waycott is the chief instructor. Because of my limited time, I could not visit very long and so I was led through another doorway. Looking up to see the time, I read 1956. Six years had elapsed now, and I saw the Nighthawk Airlines under way. Upon being introduced to the executives of the company, I was happy to see that Bruce Baker had begun his climb upward. He held the office of assistant vice-president of the company. While talking with him, I learned that Russell Kr.se was now piloting one of the great trans¬ continental passenger planes. Harry Bunton, Bobby Poppino, and Roger Mills were pilots of other planes. A crew of trained mechanics had also been employed. These, I discovered, were Chester Blunk, Kenneth Adkins, and Donald Giles. Several of the girls who had been classmates were hostesses for the airlines. Betti Baugh, Jean Burleigh, Janice Williams, Phyllis Clark, Mar¬ jorie Hite, and Nancy Stout were now on duty here. I learned that Jeanne Clark had just left the same position to take up the art of making a home. While on the subject, I caught the phrase that Elizabeth Hanna was now head of the staff of nurses in the field hospital. Working with her were Betty Neal, Mildred Stroh, Betty Holden, Mary Castner, and Mildred Boyd. Glancing over the list of personnel of the office I was informed that Mamie Burns, Florence Day, Phyllis Bayliff, Ruth Champlin, and Marjorie Wylie were stenographers and private secretaries of the company. Time was passing quickly and there were still doorways to pass through, so my visit here ended and I stepped through the doorway marked I960. Ten years before, the company had begun its work, and here I enjoyed the celebration of its tenth anniversary. Talented and famous people had been secured for this occasion. Mixing around with the people, I met two movie stars with whom I was well acquainted. William More¬ land and Claire Jean Duckworth were their names in private life. Several 26
