 Class Prophecy May 10, 1940—Met Ralph Lehman while walking down the Rue de la Paix this morning. Haven’t seen him for about six years. He is the special correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, and has been sent to cover the Olympic games at Rome, Italy. We went to lunch together at the Picadilly Cafe where an old classmate of ours, Howard Stocker, is waiter. After ordering, we began to talk about our good times in N. H. S. and wonder what our classmates were doing. Raymond Yierheller was the pilot of the plane in which Ralph and his companion and reporter, Eugene Parks, flew from London on their way here. Ralph and I planned to go to the Olympics together. I am going to take Lucille Reideubach, my secretary, with me. Am going to show Ralph the sights while he is in Paris. Mayll, Went sight-seeing this morning Went to the exclusive salon of Gwendolyn Reger—Modiste. Betty Britton is her distinguished stylist. These two girls have surely made good. Next we boarded a bus and went to the regular monthly entertainment given by the University of Paris in the University Auditorium. Here we heard lectures by Dr. Robert Kistler, professor of medicine at the university, and Professor Eugene Bowen, delegate from the United States to the Geneva Peace conference. In the musical part of tin-program we had the pleasure of hearing Albert Clough’s symphony orchestra, of which both Charles and Mary Foust are members. The master of cermonies of this program was was none other than Robert Archer. May 13,—Departed for Rome today. Found that the plane in which we were flying had been designed by our old friend Philip Schlupp. Florence Young was the hostess in the plane. While on our way to Rome, I had the good luck to find a book in the plane’s library which had just recently been written by Ruth Jane Sells, a prominent politician in America. Ralph read a colum in the paper, v ritten by Alva Hannahs, on the “Theory of Relativity”. At Marseilles we changed from plane to boat. Found that Carlos Fletcher was First Mate on this boat. George Little, Governor of Tennessee and Arthur Dennis, a Senator of that state, and Mr. Richard Bonn ell and his wife the former Miss Martha Taylor were also on the boat. Mr. Bonnell has been studying the “lost art” of the Egyptians and recently discovered how to make the fluid which the Egyptians used for embalming. Dewey Shurtz, captain on the boat announced that a television radio would be used for the first time that evening in the ship’s salon. The television radio has recently been perfected by Edwin Fletcher. The program is to be sponsered by Ronald McAllister, a prominent American merchant. The first number of the evening was a dance by Helen Van Sickle, star of many Broadway hits. Theda Robey, and her singing violin, assisted by Rubinoflf, presented two violin numbers. Bertha Shepherd, called by many “A second Fannie Brice”, sang “Get a Little Fun Out of Life”. Pauline Barcroft, Grand Opera star, sang “Coming Home”. May 14—Helen Glazer, physical education director on the boat gave a talk on “Keeping Physically Fit’’. Helen Shull, the ship’s doctor, informed us that Cecil Stocker and George Hursev have recently been engaged by the Russian government to teach agriculture at the University of Moscow. May 15—Arrived in Rome today. In the afternoon we attended the track events. Wc arrived just in time to talk with Lloyd Crater who was drawing a cartoon of the star of the American relay team, Everett McLilianey. We also had a chiance to talk with Letha Yierheller, called by athletic critics “The second Babe Ditrickson”. Over in the press box we found Chester Cosner and Alfred Swigcrt, who have recently returned from a big game hunt in Africa, where they bagged two “Lyons”. We had the extreme pleasure of hearing Chester announce that one of our old school mates, Bob Eagon, had just won the one hundred yard high hurdles. You see, Chester is a radio announcer of high esteem. From there we proceeded to the natatorium to watch the swimming events. There we sa'vv the United States women’s swimming team. Two of the members are Alma Caddes and Mabel Cappel our old friends of the class of 33. May 16—Dined today with the noted actress, Erma Couts, and her traveling companion, Margaret Early. They had recently visited their homes in Newcomerstown and told us that Laura Silverthorne was instructor oi Typing and Shorthand at N. H. S. Also that Kathrenc Wigfield has taken charge of the nefwly organized kindergarten at Newcomers-town. May 17—Attended the tennis matches today.

More news of former class mates. Thelma Mullett is the head nurse at Betlusda Hospital at Zanesville, and Florence Miller is also nursing at that hospital. Mabel Little and her husband, the Bishop John Little, are living in Columbus. Ralph informed me that, while on the trip home a double wedding occurred on the ship. Max Tuflford and Lucille Boothe and Freda Mallett and Lee Murphy were married by the Reverend Harry Langell. Lee is the proprietor of the Murphy hotel in Newcomerstown. In this letter Ralph thoughtfully called my attention to the fact that all the members of the class of 1933 have made good in a big wav. ELAINE HILL Page 18 by way of Geneva. Stopped to see Mary Mar
