-fDEL-HI1- 014 Vision of Our Class in 1941 Now to read the evening paper, said Merlyn Ruple as he lit his pipe and stretched luxuriously before the fireplace in his neat bachelor apartment. He was now a prosperous young man who had successfully climbed from clerk to manager of the A. 66 P. chain stores. As he opened it to the sport page he gasped with surprise for there was Ellsworth Ohlinger's familiar grin and written below in large type were the words: Former Delta Grid Star Makes All-America Team . Gee, mused Merlyn, I wonder where all the rest of the class of '31 are and what they are doing? He turned to the front page and began to carefully look thru the news to see if there were any items about his former friends. On the second page he was rewarded with this article: New Methodist Church of Dallas, Texas, designed by Mildred Raker, and constructed by the Dinius Construction Company owned by Walter Dinius, will be opened this Sunday, June 30, 1941, and the pastor of this church will be the well-known missionary, Stanley Woodringf' This brought back memories of Stanley's Epworth League programs and Merlyn chuckled gleefully. A few pages further he read the announcement of the opening of the Scandals of 1941 featuring the lovable Carolyn Mattern whose singing would make a banana jealous when it came to appeal. Merlyn straightway decided to attend the show and, dashing to the street, hailed a taxi. Upon clambering in he found it to be driven by Stanley Huit. Why, hello, Stan old timer! Where is the Nash you used to travel in? Sh-h-h, warned Stan, Don't tell anyone but I'm writing a story and am doing this for atmospheref, When Merlyn announced his destination Stanley decided to accompany him and together they entered the theater. After the performance they met Carolyn at the door and asked her if she knew where any of the Delta '3 1-ers were as they were looking them up. Well, she told them, You are in luck. Come down to my house and you can probably find out about all of them as James Goddard and Arthur Fish promised to be there and as you probably remember they always knew what was happening at all times. While they were riding along she told them: You know Jimmy is famous now too. He writes all of Mickey Mouse's comedies for him and Arthur is the leading financier of the country. lPage Fourteenl
