Ohio Clipper Enroute from Newcomerstown to Pittsburgh Dear Melba, We, your old friends, Alice VanVoorhis and Dale Twyman, are writing to you as we fly back to Pittsburgh after attending a reunion of our high school class in Newcomerstwn. Since we live in the same apartment building in Pittsburgh we traveled to our old home town together. This is the invitation we each had received: Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Couts and Mr. and Mrs. Archie Fletcher, Ir. request your presence at a reunion of the -Class of 1948 at the Ritz Hotel, Newcomerstown, Ohio June 12 - 14, 1963 On reaching Newcomerstown, we went immediately to the hotel. We were pleased to find it owned and operated by Harry King and Harry Little. We had a hearty greeting from Bob Nugen, who was at the hotel desk. As we were crossing the lobby we saw a man whom we recognized im- mediately as Dean Milburn, the famous Ohio publisher. He was accompanied by his efficient secretary, Martha Casteel. Dean told us that he was on his way to a style show in the grand ballroom and invited us to join him. We gladl accepted his invitation. Upon entering the ballroom we saw a huge sign which told us that this show was sponsored by The Three Mc Shoppe . After being seated, Martha told us that The Three Mc Shoppe was owned by our class- mates Vera McGee, Evelyn McKean:'and Edith McPherson. We also learned from Martha that the?oWnE'vi75re designed by the famous New York designer, Mary Lower. The creations were beautifully modeled by Norma Ford, Martha Woodard, and Jeanne Tilton. Dean mentioned that the murals of this room had been painted by Duane Russell, world-famed artist. Later on, in looking over the hotel building, we found that it had been designed by Donald Kopes of the Kopes Kunstruction Cumpny and that the electrical wiring had been planned by Bob Glazer On entering the dining room we were met by the hostess, Evelyn Arcore, and were served by Anna Mae Rufer. They told us that the Wiandt Beauty Shop was in the hotel building, and that Mary Baker and Ruby Belt were tele- phone operators in the hotel. They also told us that Bessie Wells, renowned pianist, was vacationing in Newcomerstown this month. The next day was the first day of the reunion. Many of the guests ar- rived at the hotel in cabs owned by Weary-Walt Cab Company. At the first session of the reunion, after much animated conversation about our school days, we were led in singing of old N. H. S. songs by Jean Baker, Supervisor of Music at Bowling Green University. Donna Mizer, In- structor of Piano at the same university, played for us, just like old times. The rogram that followed was headed by Sonny Williams, the comedian wlio succeeded Red Skelton. After Sonny's hilarious performance, we enjoyed many musical numbers. The first of these was music by the .lim Spike Brown band which features Betty Zeiner as violinist, Gene Baker as drummer, and Richard Blackwell as saxaphone player. Joanne Farrar, sin er at the Orange and Black Grove , owned by Art Lenzo, sang several popular numbers and .T ack Schlarb gave his famous imitation of Al Jolson. TWENTY-SIX

They were all discussing the re- sults Dick was getting from having his boys drink milk from the Cappel Dairy Corporation. We were happy to meet Luella Jones, manager of the Jones Independent Basketball Team. With her were her star player, Lillie Rector, and her mascot, Betty Hickenbottom. We enjoyed a delicious lunch that had been planned by Gloria Ross and Helen Stahl, nutrition experts and home demonstration agents. The soup was from the well-known CCharlesj Campbell Soup Kitchens. Other items on the menu had come from the M-K store that is operated by Tom Pollock. The dessert was the famous CJimj Daniel Boone Ice Cream. After the lunch we rode back to the hotel with Charles Leech, president of Dodge-Leech, Incorporated. He told us that his legal advice comes from Attorney Charlotte Coulter, and that Grace Walkenspaw is his beautiful and efficient secretary. He also mentioned that he has secured the services of the expert accountants Marjorie Nolan and Gloria Meeks, and that he was installing on his new cars the CThelmaj Foggin Fog Lites.
