-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

-L DEL-HI1-- We had arrived at her home and were hilariously greeted by Jim and Art who had been, they told us, reminiscing and thinking of all the dear old Delta gang. V ' Well, said Stanley, Do tell us what every one is doing. And that started them off. James took Z1 long breath and told us this: i'Lenore Dewyer is a blonde now, And she married Kenneth Mohr, They are living very happily, And he works in Perl Schlagel's Ten Cent store. Florence Dodge is the world's typing champ, She writes a hundred words per sec, Lawrence Norris is a multi-millionaire, His only work is to sign a check. At this jimmy paused to take a breath and Art cut in, Well, I can't give it in a jingle, but here's the low-down on some more of the class. Hilliard Camp very diligently studied music and is now the private music instructor of Charles Lindbergh Junior. And Ethlyn Mizer, poor girl, you heard about her? Noi said Merlyn, breathless, What? Why, she married the Prince of Wales for his title and the week after the ceremony England became a republic and elected a president and now Ethlyn is in a convent, trying to forget her great disappointment. Then there is that new sensational newspaper that began circulating in New York recently- The Green Gazette. That is the work of Richard Green. Arthur then stopped for breath and Carolyn's maid brought in refreshments, all of which tasted very good but the crowning glory was the McQuillan Cocktail concocted, Carolyn told us, by Hazel McQuillan herself. After this reviving repast Arthur told us about an invention that seemed to Merlyn and Stanley most worth while. It was a school room clock, guaranteed to run fast during class periods without the teacher, the superintendent or principal suspecting a thing. This was the invention of Clyde and Floyd Raker. Many cheers. Marguerite Wagner discovered that she was the long lost niece of the famous Wagner who left her his entire fortune when he died and she now spends her time building homes for stray dogs. And of course you know about 'Pie' Deck becoming a famous orator and debater?', broke in Jimmy again. Oh yes, said Stan, and do you remember how he used to argue in American Literature class?
