T wenty-three CLASS PROPHECY In a bus station in New York City, early on the morning of May 29, 1950, we find Barbara Anderson (nee Heintzleman) about to purchase a ticket to Indianapolis on a new, up-and-coming bus line. She is talking animatedly to Ted Hoff, the ticket agent, who informs her that she will make her trip on the bus that Bill Anderson drives. “Beep-Beep. “Yes, Barbara, I think this is your bus. Goodbye!” ❖ “Good-morning, Sister-in-law. Don’t tell me you’re going away and leave all those hotels for my brother Jim to take care of alone? “Why, Bill, this is embarrassing! Didn’t Sis tell you that she invited me to stay at your home for a month? You do remember Louise Potts, don’t you, Bill?” “Beep-Beep. And so the bus left the station and started its journey. “Bill, see that hospital over there? Everett Leister is a famous surgeon and Patty Dean is his chief nurse. “Speaking of hospitals, Barbara, reminds me of Thurston Berry. He’s in one now and all because he fell off a seven-story building in St. Louis while fixing the roof. He isn’t married yet, although he has his eye on Marjorie Wyer. She’s private secretary to a big insurance executive here in New York.” “By the way, Bill, whatever happened to Barbara De Witt and Miriam Gibbs? “Why, they’re airplane hostesses on the London-New York air-lines. Did you know that William C. Anderson, Bruce Hallock, and Fred Koehler own their own airplane factory over in New Jersey? Vernon Damon is their maintenance engineer.” “Look, Bill! That billboard over there! That’s a picture of Medley’s trio! They were at the Palace last week harmonizing with the echo of the Mills’ Brothers You knew, didn’t you, that next week Leland Kulp’s band, with Connie Baines as singer, is scheduled for the Palace and that the week after that Mary Maitland and Mildred Leyda are to do their acrobatic routine? Quite an all-star run they ' re hav- ing! “Would you like the radio on now, Barbara? It ' s time for Eileen Seymour’s talk on women ' s styles, followed by Leoma Harley’s program, “Shadows of Emilv Post. 7 “Watch out!! Oh, that truck almost hit us!” “Whew! Yes, that’s one of Ralph Hoddinott, Rudy Fodor, and Ted Chandler ' s trucks. They have quite a pickle business.” “We ' re just about to arrive at Niagara Falls, Barbara. We have a five-minute stop there. You ' ll probably be surprised when you see the confectionery store It’s the most spacious one in the state and you’ll never guess who owns it. None other than Lloyd Scott and Bob Nourse. “Look, Bill! A car with a “Just Married” sign. I do believe— yes it is ' Jane Madison and David Root. So at last they’ve taken the fatal step! “Too bad we can’t stop here in Buffalo for awhile, Barbara. We could say “hello to Norma Jeanne Clark who’s teaching history. Evelyn Brasch is teaching here, toe, and Dale Grim is the athletic instructor at the same school wT ha t ? u ,° U • Wa ” t a newspaper? Get a “Daily Times”. Gordon Phillips owns Vvaltcr Koehler is the editor, and Bill Kramer is circulation manager M ! ays h r th t June Lyons ' horse ’ “ Berr y B °y ” just won ' another big race. Isn’t that something?” a “By the way, Barbara, you ought to take a lot of pictures on this trip Bill ?” I M t0 St ° P somewhere and 9 et som e film. Have you any suggestions, “That’s simple. Almost every city has one of Bill Brown, Stewart Hach and Jim Sperber ' s Photographic Supply Stores in it. ’ “Don’t let me forget to take some pictures of Greg Blakeslee’s farm and indoor skating rink. Gwen Lindley is skating instructor there, you know “Are you hungry, Barbara? We have a fifteen-minute stop in a couple of Sands ° nC ° f EV6yn MeyerS ’ Margaret Gow e- and Harriet Watkins’ hamburger “Oh good! Do you suppose any of the girls will be there? “No. They run the business from a big office in New York” A few hours later the bus came into the outskirts of Cleveland The lame Sargent-Longacre Furniture Store was doing an excellent business. People come from all over this part of the country to get “The Best For Less.

Their latest un- dertaking is painting murals in Cleveland’s City Hall. Two blocks from the Kovic ' s studio we came to a huge wholesale house. Upon close scrutiny we saw that this was owned by Arlene Heyduk and Richard Ziegler. “Say, Barbara, when I have lots of time, remind me to explain Elton Beery and Alfred Bartholomay’s theory of trajectory. It adds to this— Beery jumps out of an airplane in a parachute and Bartholomay follows right behind trying to chart his course. “Sounds intricate! By the way, Bill, did you know that Cleveland is now the home of Alyce Perrin and Virginia Culp? They’re away now, however. Missionaries in China, I ' m told. The bus was leaving Cleveland by this time and Bill spoke up once more. Speaking of theories, perhaps you knew that Bob Indoe, another member of Medina ' s old physics class, is in Europe trying to sink the British Isles and prove that the law of buoyancy is a fallacy.” No, I hadn’t heard. When are you due back in New York, Bill?” In about three days. I want to get there in time for Elnor Snedden’s yearly recital. Being one of the family, I ' m always given free tickets. Sometimes I wonder if it ' s worth it when I have to listen to LaVerne Kay play the violin.” Did you see that picture of Fern Stevens, Evelyn Wilcox and Evelyn Timber- lake in the paper the other day? They’re in Australia teaching the inhabitants how to do the Australian Crawl.” “Your mentioning that trio reminds me of Mildred Ring and Kenneth Ream They re married and financing a diamond mine in South Africa ” There ' s the smoke of Chicago ahead, Barb.

Isn’t that Betty and George McMillan’s ice factory? She was Betty Miller, you know. Medina has certainly lent its representatives to Chicago’s leading business. There ' s Steingass ' Meat-Packing House. “Meat of all ages’’ is their slogan.’’ Mrs. Steingass was Catherine Mellert, you know. “Speaking of big business, that building on the right is Jeannette Ganyard, Ruby Drogell, and Jennie Girman’s lunch box corporation.” “Well, you’d better take a last look, Barb, for we’ve talked ourselves right out of Chicago.” And so the bus rolled along towards Indianapolis where Eleanor Theede, Theresa Klein, and Kathryn Winkler have their famous beauty salon. But, Bill, there is one thing I ' ve been meaning to ask you. Have you read the last bulletin issued by Susan Kraus and Mildred Jennings? They’re on a tour of Europe.” “No, I never seem to have time. I’m no good at one-armed driving so I guess I can’t read while on duty.” The bus nearly ended the life of an innocent young turkey who was preening his feathers in the middle of the road. This reminded Barbara to ask where Wilma Cook was. “Why Wilma’s in Florida with Ellen Byard running a summer resort.” “Barbara,.! hope you’ll stay with us long enough to see the Indianapolis speed- way and some races in which Henry Stahl and John Socha are the favorites. “Did Louise tell you that her brother was at the house for a week?” “Why, yes, Bill, that’s right. Lester Potts and Leonard Cain are the Senators from Ohio.” “Those brick buildings in the distance belong to the college founded by Florence Hitzelberger. It’s just a fifteen-minute drive from Indianapolis. After we round this next bend you’ll see your home for the next month. I ' ll drop you off and you can tell Louise not to wait dinner for me.
