IN YEARS TO COME It was on the day of June 16, 1960, that Mary Pape, Ralph Hatfield, and I met on the corner of Broadway and Forty-Second Street. What a surprise! To think-the three of us were in New York! You wouldn't have recognized us. Ralph had lost all of the curl in his hair that he had in the days of '42: Mary was not the same jolly Pape she had been in her high school days. Of course we decided to eat together. We chose the Astor Hotel, which was widely known in the city of New York. While enjoying our shrimp cocktails and lobster dinner, we had a very interesting conversation. All of us told just how we had spent our lives since we had been out on our own. Mary had had quite a struggle, as her husband had mortgaged everything on their estate and then deserted her. Ralph was on a furlough, and a top sergeant in the U. S. Air Corps, and I-, well, I am just an old maid who has inherited my uncle's estate and then thought it best not to marry. We were watching the orchestra leader when the waitress brought on the second course. Mary im- mediately recognized her as none other than Virginia Slane, who had graduated from Ossian High School in 1942. We were very happy to have met one of our old schoolmates and we had a very jolly visit with her. Time seemed to fly, for it wasn't long until the proprietor of the hotel came and told Virginia that he was paying her for the work she did and not for visiting. We bade her good-bye and she returned to her work. This gave us an idea that we would like to look up all of our old schoolmates and see how many we could find. Ralph suggested that we go to the New York City Chamber of Commerce and get a directory to see how many of our classmates lived in New York. When we reached the City Office. we found that Phil Lydy was the Mayor of New York. He said that he was having love trouble among Imo Jean Grandstaff, .Ioan McLain, and Wanda Stoneburner. Phil told us that Wanda Stoneburner was a second Kate Smith, Joan McLain was a cigarette girl, and Imo Jean was a tap dancer who was starring on Broadway. Ralph was called to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and was supposed to be there at 9:00 a. m. the next day. He invited Mary and me to go with him. We crawled into his airplane and we were on our way. We arrived just at the said time. Mary and I went into the airport terminal while Ralph was taking care of his business. Soon Ralph returned and told us that he had just met Max Middaugh. who was the pilot of a stratosphere liner, We were just leaving when a girl, standing near a big T, W. A. plane, attracted my attention. I walked over near the plane and found that Jessie Neuenschwander was a hostess on this plane. She told us that Mr. Robert Yergler was her eInDl0YeI' and that he lived OH 3 feneh neal' Denver, Colorado. We decided that we would visit him next. It W2iS very late- S0 We Cleeieled to Spend that night in Pittsburgh. I was looking for a taxicab number in the phone book when I discovered several names that I thought were familiar. First on the list was GeOI'ge Penne- l Wanted to See George. but time being short, I called him by telephone. I was much surprised when he told me that Eloise Dawson was his wife. He said that she was a dress designer on Fourth Street. He also told me they had two sets of twins. Someone else wanted the line, so I closed my converS81i0h with Ge0FSe' l then Called UD Gilf0rd JOhI1SOn. who was 3 preacher at the First Baptist Churchs He said that he had been united in marriage with Ruth Kincaid that afternoon. I wished them manv happy ClaYS legelhel' and Went OH to the next person on my list. I had quite a long talk with Marcille Hedges, She was running a slaughterhouse in Pittsburgh and she knew more about livestock than any veterinarian I had ever Seen. That is all the names I found. so the three of us decided to call on Robert Yergler next. We boarded Ralph's plane once again on a non-stop flight to Denver, Colorado. We reached our destination just in time to be Mr, and Mrs. Yergler's guests for dinner, We found Mrs. Yergler to be the former Miss Lucy Jane Rogers of Ossian: the butler appeared to be a Frenchman. but after close observation, Mary dis- covered that he was another classmate of '42. none other than JOhn ElliS lVIC1VIL1llen. He tO1d us that Jean Bowman was the maid and that John was her devoted husband. I looked out of the window and saw a man reaching into a horse's mouth: this proved very interesting. S0 I went out to see what was happening. When I got out there. I found that Bill Mahnensmith was a veterinarian and was trying to remove the horse's tonsils. Bill told us that Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Caston lived only a few miles away and that we should be sure to call on them. We paid them a visit and found Joan Hoover to be Mrs. Caston. They had fourteen little Castons, four girls and ten boys. I can assure yOu that there was never a healthier SFOUP nf Children than these. They lived on a little forty-acre farm heal' Denver. We journeyed on to Salt Lake City and found that Frederick Springer had become a famous sculptor and that Betty Resler was one of his glamorous models. Naomi MCCBFZUG WHS elS0 employed in this respect. We went out to lunch and while reading the morning paper, we found that Tom Brown was suing Betty Kay for divorce. We decided to go to Reno, Nevada, to see our schoolmates and see if we could not do something to settle the trouble. We arrived at Reno just in time to attend the court session. As we were listening to the session, we saw several Others of our classmates take the stand. Torn was suing for divorce because Betty kept stepping out with Delbert Marble, Bill Wilhelm, and Bob Farr. Harry Button was the judge and after the session he told Tom and Betty that they must go back and live together for one year and if they did not get along. 3 div0rCe Wenld be granted T0 them. We We1'e very happy to hear the judge's decision. We rushed up, and they seemed to forget their troubles immediately. fDelbert tried to make a hit with me, but as I was against men. I held my own.l We left for Hollywood early the next morning. When we arrived, the first person that we met was Miss Mary Lou Grim. She told us that she had been in Hollywood for three years. She also told us that Arnold Grewe, Evelyn Miller. and John Spuller were movie actors. She said that AI'HOld and Evelyn were married and had 8 little baby boy. John Spuller was single and the most popular man in Hollywood. She also wanted to know if we had heard about Marcille Helfrick running for president. According to the newspapers. I judged she had a fair chance of being elected. Mary invited us to come to her house for tContinued On page 543 Nineteen
