bara Garnett. Kermit Seely is a pilot and Betty Aylard is a hostess for the Gensemer Lines. Jim ' s brother. Dr. Joseph Gibbs, always uses the medicines developed by that celebrated chemist, Edward Denman. Maxine Norman is a nurse, the only one who understands the proper care of patients treated with Denman ' s medicines. While in California, I met Jack Ryan and Joan Gunkleman in a night club owned by Floyd Ganyard. That night its floor show featured an albstar cast which included the singing sensation, June Miller; the fiery dancer, Eleanor Kazian; and the so-called giggle-girl, Joan Hammerschmidt, amusing comedienne. In Boston recently I went to the theater to see the new version of Hamlet, re- vised by Eleanor Cook, Dorothy Shermer, and Mary Kraus. Imagine my surprise to find that the stars were Corwin Letterly, Lawrence Kulp and Jeanne Etter! Did you know that Lois Finkleman has been elected president of the Women ' s Athletic Association? Stopping at Horvath’s Super-Fountain, which is now the largest of its type in the country, I ran into Patty Anderson, who has been delivering a series of political lectures throughout the country. She told me that several of our classmates are on the staffs of large schools. Lee Davis is a football coach and Beatrice Baker, a typing instructor. If you remember Jim Schoenberger, you probably can guess that he is a dramatic coach who specializes in the gruesome and the Gothic. Working with Jim, though along more conventional lines, is Lois Warren. Calvin Ganyard is now a costume designer for Billy Rose’s swimmerettes. Gilbert Myers struck oil on the farm of Bob Gerspacher. It is producing such a large amount that Frank Steidl set up a refinery and is furnishing the gasoline and petroleum products for Rickert and Wilder ' s chain of service stations. Betty Wagner and Helen Keiper, assisted by Betty Derrick and Frances Huffman, are operating a restaurant in Los Angeles. Merle Plants is the president of a rapidly growing in ' surance company of which Evelyn Plants is sales manager. The company has a huge staff of secretaries, including Faye Bachtell, Margaret Bohaty, Dolores Siman, and Girldine Martin. So far fate has dealt kindly with all of us. I hope it is a long time before any of us fall into the hands of Jim Long. He’s a mortician, you know. As ever, John Clark. New York City, N. Y. July 1, 1952. Dear John, I received your letter telling about your trip to California. I was very glad to hear about so many of our former classmates. You will interested to know what some of the rest of them are doing. Many former students of M. H. S. have come to New York to seek fame and for ' tune. You remember Loren Kaden, don’t you? Loren now owns a chain of motion picture theaters which exhibit only the best shows. I went to one the other night to see a new picture, starring that sensational team of lovers, Mary Felton and Hugh Riegger. (Continued on Page 77) T wenty ' Seven 1942

SENIORS The First Ten in Senior Scholarship Jane Keefe Edward Buckley Alma Eberly Betty Aylard John Clark Beatrice Baker Virginia DeWitt Mary Felton Dorothy Shermer Jeanne Etter SENIOR PROPHECY Dear Edward, Medina, Ohio June 20, 1952 I returned from my trip to California last week. My practice as dentist has kept me so busy that I welcomed a vacation. It was certainly a pleasant surprise to meet so many of our former class mates out there. In h f S A r geleS 1 met Frank Bond who has attained the exalted rank of Admiral in our Navy. In Yosemite National Park I found that renowned artist, A1 Kina, re- producing the splendor of nature on canvas. Inquiring about a particularly fine farm in the West, I was informed that it belongs to Robert Hunter, who has crossed corn and sugar cane so that the ears may be picked and sugar made from the stalks! I suppose you have heard that Jim Gibbs is a frequent passenger in the Gen- semer Airways newly developed transports? Jim flies across country to visit Bar- Twenty-Six
