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. P f m (Continued on Page 76) Twenty-four
