When I returned, I went straight to Leah Lawson's Pink Tiger Room for lunch. My waitress was an old classmate, Barbara Holland. For dessert I ordered a piece of pecan pie baked by the J. Manship Pie Co., Inc. During the meal, a fashion revue was presented by leading designers of the city. Martha Etchison modeled exclusives from the Virgil Mousa Salon. Frances Dunlavy modeled Fuscha Dresses for Redheadsu created by Norma Rutledge. As the day's guest, Lois Lukens, now doubling for Lana Turner, mod- eled a gown of bright red and pink. My next stop was Macy's Department Store. There was quite a commotion at one end of the first floor. As I got nearer I saw what resembled a miniature navy, but to my amazement, I found it was Sherry COrmeJ and her little sailors. Barbara Mingle, their nurse, was holding the smallest one so he could see over the counters. Mar- ilyn Austin was the one drawing all the attention, she was showing the kiddies how she pitches a no hit, no run, no error game for the Purple Sox Baseball Team of Huntsville. The next familiar face I saw was that of Joyce Boicourt. She was sell- ing Whatchacall, the successor of Hadacol. It was nearing closing time for Macy'sg so I decided I would take a walk, then possibly go to the show. Some way or other I got on a side street and soon I saw signs reading Hoefner's Pool Room-Owned and Operated by the world famous David Hoefner and Gay and Irene's Pawn Shop-Engagement Rings Our Specialty-Irene Noble and Gay James, Owners and Proprietors. Finally, after what seemed like hours, I reached the greasepaint street -Broadway. I went to the Palace Theater where so many stars had gotten their starts. Playing there was Ed Scudder and his Musicales with Max Mercer as his featured artist. The vocalists with the band were The Three J's- Joan Cordell, Joyce Bradley, and Joan Rencenberger--who had just re- turned from a European tour. Joan Kinder and Marilyn Burns did a special- ty act on stilts. On my way back to the Astor, the cab passed a huge advertisement which signified that another '51er had made good. It read: For drinks that never fail, use Ayers' Beer and Ale . Sounds as if Paul might be mak- ing use of all the surplus grain at the elevator. Upon arrival at the hotel, I found people assembling for the annual mayors' convention. Under the Indiana banner sat Don Milner, Ingalls' first mayor and his personal secretary, Sara Main. On the lobby news stand, the Gazette's headlines blazed--CARROLL RIDGEWAY REPLACES EINSTEIN AS TOPS IN FIELD OF SCIENCE.. A cartoon on page one by Theresa Stohler pictures Mary Stinson in her last filibuster to stop the present bill to do away with the Florida naval training station. In the background was G. M. Grabill who is now serving as Sergeant at Arms in the Senate. As I take a count, that makes all 51 of our 51'ers plus our past guide. Here's hoping we soon meet again. Good-night, E. A. H.

PROPHECY December 20, 1970 Dear Diary, Today has made me think .Santa arrived early with a book for me en- titled Memories . Today has given me a warmer feeling and a better understanding of the old saying, Old pals are the best pals after all. It seemed so long since I had heard from any '51 classmates that today was quite a shock. When I awoke this morning, I was a little puzzled to find myself in a strange room, but then I realized that this was December 20, my dance studio in Indiana was closed for the holidays, I had flown to New York the day before, and thisn was not just a dream, this was the Astor Hotel in New York City. About nine o'clock, I started downstairs for breakfast. To my amaze- ment, Frances Kamke was running the elevator. As I stepped into the restaurant, I heard two familiar voices mingled with those of children. There sat Betty fGahimerJ and Russell Scott with their three children-Unus, Due, and Tres--whom they had named in memory of Miss Hallowell. A tall, distinguished fellow walked into the room, I was told he was Senator Lucas who was in New York investigating the corrupt practices of Mayor Darrell McNutt. All at once, I heard a band coming down the street, and 'being one that doesn't like to miss a parade, I rushed out. It was a circus band led. by Major Joe Shelton announcing the arrival of the biggest circus of earth, The Hilligoss and Whiteley Extravaganza. Near the end of the band were two familiar faces which belonged to the drummers, Don Owens and Marvin Kelly. Following the band were the people of the side shows. The dare-devil was our own Charles Kuhnsg Vernon Naanes was the strong man, and Shirley Walter was the trapeze artist. Next came the animals with Meredith Chamberlain, their trainer, rid- ing upon an elephant. His assistant, Dick Grile, was teasing the elephants with mice. After the parade passed, a sight-seeing bus pulled up to the curb and the driver, Ronald Davis, who had left home at the early age of 32, invited me to go on the next tour. We started at 11:00 and were back by 1:00. During our trip W-e saw the home of the former Vera Stinson, now wife of Cy Rockefeller V, who has just inherited the Rockefeller millions. We passed a huge building which was covered with shamrocks. I was told this was an auctioneers school run by Nancy Hite and Sandra Miller.- I guess they developed a strong second wind while leading yells at our good old alma mater. Over the entrance of the next house was the sign The House of No Men . It was owned and operated for all women who had never found their ideal by Frances Petty. Donna Stohler was standing guard at the gate. On our return trip, we passed Central Park where we saw Phyllis Fadely standing upon a soapbox giving a lecture-evidently still trying to get a republican administration. 22
