Hand-Me-Downs Shoppe, most exclusive antique store in the world. As I paid my check. 1 saw Carl Krebs, who is running an agency that publishes pamphlets on How to be a Radio Expert in Ten Easy Lessons. Fred Booth and Howard Marlatt, filling station operators, were the Dick Bordenkirkers (Mary K. Gardner), and the Harold Andersons (Peg Gwynn), all That afternoon Shirley Kennedy, owner of a chain of grocery stores; Doris Gross, typing teacher at Bliss Business College; and Beryl Kohler, author of a daily newspaper column, Keep Fit, whisked me up to the Daugherty field where Earl Gross, pilot on the B. V. D. Lines and Eugene Woodard, parachute jumping artist were taking people up for a view of New-comerstown from the air. Waiting in line for a ride was Mary C. Comerford, who has been starring as Flossie in Faint Is My Heart, a Broadway production, and bringing down the house with her famous fainting scene. Also waiting his turn was Bill Phillips, concert pianist scheduled to start on a world tour next week. I met Lucille Stocker, internationally-known clothes designer and hair stylist, and we decided to take a ride on the ferris wheel, operated by James Styer. In the line ahead of us I saw Dorothy Stalter, English teacher at Ohio State; Catherine Zwall, the million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store; and Wilbur Barthalow and Walter Opphile, world-famous magicians. On the ferris wheel were Mollie Stewart, who recently starred in Metropolitan's version of By the Highway by Ann Parks; Merdis Coker, blues singer; Mary Stewart, Mildred Sharrock, and Thelma Rothenstine, famous jitterbug trio at the Torch Club; and Oliver Ortt, manager of the Ritz Theater. UUK Jr L A Li IS OUH After riding on the ferris wheel, Lucille and I went next to the merry-go-round. Riding on the horses were Norman McPherson, author of Television in Technicolor ; Jay Neal, who poses for magazine covers; Kathleen McCune, who broadcasts on the Farm and Home Hour; Carl Powell, big game hunter; and Marjorie Dawson, missionary to China. By this time I was ready to go home. A day such as that is tiring — but it was fun — and I ve just begun to realize that the class of '40 has at last made its mark in the world.
