THE MEDINIAN Class Prophecy By Jim Brown Have you ever spent an evening sitting at home reminiscing and looking over old books and reminders of bygone days? This is just what I did on the night of June 2, 1947. It was a rainy night and perfect for such a pastime. As I sat in my easy chair, looking into the fire, my mind went back to the day of my graduation from Medina High. Only twenty-five years ago, but it seemed like fifty, so much had taken place. Hastily I took the 1932 Medinian from the shelf and settled back into the chair for some enjoyable memories. It fell open at the pictures of the Senior class. There was Louise Ainsworth; Peasy is now in Cuba enjoying the millions she had acquired. Sue Anderson is with her and what a pair! Lucille Arnold is now a famous actress on Broadway. Merle Auker, Lyman Koons, Milford Harley and Earl Buchanan run the N. A. T. Air Lines. Duane Babcock and Harold Bennett are both happily married and big business men. Helen Babcock is now teaching school in New York. Let’s see. Dud Bagley is a great cook on the Cunard Lines with Iola Swift as assistant. Billy Batchelder was also in our class, he owns half of New York. I rent my office from him. Leila Beedle, Phebe Cross, Mildred Curtis and Ruth Mugrage are all working in the office of Paul Blumenstein, America’s foremost high pressure salesman. Ha! there is blushing Stanley Edward’s picture; Stan is now out on the California Coast selling coonskin coats. Sue McMillan is coaching Physical Education at Columbia with Irene Oleksa as her assistant. Clayton Oberholtzer and John Navratil are coaches at Yale and Harvard respectively, what a pair! Frances Rockwell and Rae Root are owners of the best Night Club in Paris. Erwin Rickard and Dean Friesner own the outstand- ing grocery and drug stores of Medina. Evelyn Navratil, Evelyn Oberholtzer and Mary Ostaff are at the head of the accounting departments of the New York Life In- surance Company. Harold Musch, Charles Jacot and Angus Maitland are flying for Century Air Lines. Lawrence Prehn has the greatest Engineering Correspondence School ever known, with Andy Hammerschmidt as his Vice President, Mary Pucsok, Helen Rollins, Clara Pfanenschwarz and Helen Schwenk are with Ziegfeld’s Follies in New York. Harold Potts didn’t follow in his father’s footsteps. He is selling electric stoves to the Eskimos. Carl Failor is selling Fords for Henry, with Bill Whitney one jump ahead of him in argumentative points. Earl Foote is now selling real estate. Bob Gable, John Galla and John Hood are great experimental Agriculturists. Alice Goodale is a great organist in the Paramount Theatre in New York. Lucille Krug, Clara Helma and Dorothy Gordon have a Coffee Shop on Park Avenue, New York. Frank Kuder is Heavy Weight Champion of the world. Bessie Lyon and Alice Selzer are style models for Montgomery Ward. Myron Kennedy is head of the Agricultural Depart- ment of Ohio State University. Tommy Sviatko took all the prizes at the last World ' s Fair with his farm products. Dorothy Wilber is private secretary for Ann Yesensky, America’s outstanding journalist. Jack Thomas is now head of the sales department for the Studebaker firm in New York City. Edith Short and Ruth Winters own a Millin- ery Shop in Chicago. Bob Way is a renowned veterinary. My wife took Pon Pon (her imported Chinese Collie) to him; Bob clipped his toenails and charged twenty- five dollars. I c lipped them myself after that. What do you think I found written in Who’s Who? Two of the world’s greatest attorneys at law. Velma Wolery and Lucille Wacker. So ends another evening spent at home too; it was an exception.
