A ,'I:iHE ORIOLE Have you heard of Harry VanNasdale lately? Yes its too bad about Harry. Why. what's the matter? yell, you know he used to be crazy about aviation. es. - He finally got a plane of his own and as he was Hying over Detroit, something went wrong with it and he came right down on the sidewalk from about 2,000 feet. Gosh, l should think it would have killed him. It probably would have only the sidewalk kind of broke his fall. And now, he is a dealer in second hand airplanes and would you believe it Evelyn Kesson is his stenographer. l hadn't heard where she was until l talked with Harry. He says she is a cracking good one, too. That reminds me when l was in New York, l was driving my car through the heavy traffic and whom do you suppose l saw directing the trafiic? l give up. Ernest Knirk. He a cop? Hal Hal Well, l never expected that of him. Mr. Dage is almost as bad off. Why, what's the matter? ' Mr. Dage is the end man in A1 -Iolson's Minstrel, located on Lindbergh Aerodrome, l,000 miles out in the Atlantic. The Minstrel affords entertainment for waiting passengers. Miss Kibbe is head pilot on a Trans-Atlantic plane which makes regular stops at Lindbergh Aerodrome to give passengers privilege of hearing Al jolson's Minstrel. Do you remember that swell Cadillac Gwendolyn Safford was sporting around in during the last year of high school? Yes, does she still have it? l don't know about that but she is one of New York's wealthiest society leaders, and she has just awarded Ona Boone a Scholar-ship from one of New York's most fashionable boarding schools. And Ona has also won a beauty contest and is going abroad for further study in college and on her face. Talk about good lessons, Lena Chase is giving lessons on How to Reduce. Well we certainly know she didn't need anything like that when she was in Quincy High School. Good luck to you Lena, you're a good type for the work. Where's our old butter and egg man we used to have in high school? Who do you mean? What, have you forgotten Oliver Gordon, the fellow that used to work for Roy Baker? Oh, yes, l remember, l just received a letter from him last week. He said he was down in the jungles of Africa. What's he doing down there? It seems that when he went into that country all the apes in the jungles took a liking for him and at once became his best friends. He taught some of his brightest friends to box and he has staged a con- test down there and the winners he will bring to this country to light Gene Tunney. He says that he can prove evolution to the world by this experiment. And say, who do you suppose he has for his first assistant? l don't know, who is it? Mary Esther Trenary. Oliver says she is a wonderful help in the business, he says that she knows as much about his boxers as he does. Say, you remember Maybelle Taylor and what a busy kid she always was in high school. Well, guess she's still busy as l have heard. What keeps her so busy? Giving talks on How to keep her husband. l saw an advertisement the other day, it read something like this: The world's most famous solo dancer, Robert Hendrick, will introduce to-night at the Broadway Palace his latest production, The Moon Dance. l seem to remember something about that Moon Dance. Oh, l know when Chief Blue Sky visited H. S. he showed to us a dance similar to that. Well, good for old Bob, l always knew he'd do the unexpected. Speaking of the unexpected, you remember that nsparklern Miss Rath used to Hash in our French class? lr meant something after all. Here's a clipping from the Lansing Blizzard -read it yourself. Miss Rath, 'tis a shame- One that could have won such fame, Will settle down and pay the priceg But after all, that's sort of nice- A cozy little Bungalow, A Carden where the roses growg Some laughing children round about, A help-mate kindly and devout. That's right, this summer is when another man goes wrong. im 1 Q 2 8 lfii

' THE ORIOLE Class Prophecy What's the date today? By George, just ten years ago tonight l graduated from Quincy High School. l wonder what the rest of the gang are doing tonight. Didn't I see something in the paper about one of the graduates of H. S. had just announced his candidacy for president. By George! Here it is: Quincy Herald, june l0, I938: Donald W. Gould of Detroit, Michigan, after a successful career in Broadway theatres, has been per- suaded to turn his good personality that he won on the stage into politics. Well if that isn't a miracle for you. l never expected to see Donald Gould as a politician. Speak of the angels and they're sure to appear. Hello President, how is the elephant coming? Oh, fair, but l am worried as to whom to get for a campaign committee. Say, l have it. The old H. S. gang of '28 ought to be interested enough in one of its old class- mates running for president to turn in and help a little hadn't it? That's a cracking good idea, they're scattered enough throughout the world. By the way do you know where Arthur Balfour is now? Yes. He's the great Lion Tamer in Ringling Brothers Circus, stranded in the city of Colombo on the lsland of Ceylon off the coast,of lndia. And in the meantime playing golf. Have you been reading the Detroit Free Pants Press lately? Yes, what's wrong with it? Did you see that article about Ruth Wilson writing one of the world's best volume of the Elevation of the Soul and do you remember how she hated to write essays or themes back in American Literature class? Elevation of the Soul, huh! l wonder whose soul she is elevating now? Say, you haven't heard anything about Eva Gallop lately, have you? Eva Gallop? Where have you been all these years anyway? Why she is in St. Louis at the head of the firm that manufactures the Gallopin' Good Ginger Snaps, and boy, she sure is raking in the money, now let me tell you. Ginger Snaps puts me in mind of how hungry l was at a ball game in New York last summer. l almost forgot to tell you about Gladys Marquart. She plays on the New York Giants. She is the first woman to invade Prefessional baseball. She plays first base and she is a cracking good one, too. By the way, received a letter from that jolly little Miss Graf, of whom the commercial class all were fond. That little rhyme we fellows dedicated to her still runs through my mind something like this: Alma Graf a nurse shall be, A famous nurse now you shall see She'll Fight her way through this old world With head held high and flag unfurled, And probably save near all our lives With nurse's tools and surgeon's knives And so to Alma let us sing, Who to us, long lives will bring. Yes, l remember that, and what do you know, this prophecy came true as she is at the head of the nurses' staff in a Red Cross Hospital at Petrograd, Russia. Have you seen the head lines in this paper? No, is it something serious? Serious? Boy, that's no name for it. You remember Clarence Hildebrand, don't you? lsuppose you also know he is a multi-millionaire now. just look at this-Clarence Hildebrand, Wall Street, New York, has been sued by his sixth wife for Sl50,000 alimony, and Jim used to be so bashful. My goodness it's a good thing he is wealthy, but who is his wife? LeMoyne Blackman, can you feature that. l wonder if she married him for money or if she's one of those old gold diggers? Did you know that LeMoyne went to Hollywood? She's taking Greta Garbo's place in the movies and has been the rage. l heard that Clarence was her fourth or fifth husband, so divorces aren't new to either of them. Hellol Look at the old college paper. Ann Arbor, Michigan, june IO, l938: The University of Michigan has jxiit acquired its best qualified, most efficient, and the wittiest professor of Chemistry the world has ever known. The Professor grad- uated from Quincy High School in the well known class of '28, and has attended many colleges since. Professor Bernice Sattler has won the good-will of the University's pocket-book as well as the hearts of the men connected with the institution. Hol Hol Professor Bernice Sattler, Hol Hol Professor of Chemistry, winning men's hearts, and Uni- versity pocket-books, who would have thought it. Well, listen to this, here is something about Eloise Demarest. Eloise Demarest taking the leading part in the great stage attraction in Chicago. The play ran for I3 months on Broadway in New York City, where she became famous as a stage actress. Well by hemlock! l never thought that she would be a stage actress. That sure is a surprise. 1 -'- ,-3 5 ill' 1 Q 2 8 lily

- ' THE 012101.11-3 f sf By the way, do you know where Genevieve Kesson is and what she is doing now? No, what's that bashful little girl doing? Bashful? Bah! l guess she has changed some from what l have heard. Now she is in Chicago giving lessons to the younger generation on Successful Flirting. They say you can't teach without experi- ence, wonder where she got hers? l have a letter here in my pocket from New York, maybe it will tell us something of our lost class- mates. Why, listen to this: l just learned where you were and thought you might like to know how l am using my high school edu- cation. l am working for Clara From, who owns a beauty shop here, and our specialty is face-lifting. l would like to hear from you. Your classmate, Gladys Globensky. Hailf Hal Did you notice that she didn't mention whether it was men's faces or women's faces she was xtlng. l heard a great lecture over the radio the other night from India. lt was on Missionary Work in lndia. You can't imagine who it was by. Alice Culbert, one of our old classmates of '28. l thought that, of all things, would be the last thing on earth she would take up. l have just returned home from Paris. Our ship landed at Ellis lsland because it was in quarantine for a case of Poliomyelitis. Passing in line down the gangplank and up in front of the inspectors' office, where yards and yards of Red Tape were being used, one of the fellow passengers, some little distance ahead, got into an argument with the inspection officer who was trying to send the fellow to the pest house. As the discussion became more heated, there seemed something so familiar in the voice of the inspector that l listened attentively. l could not mistake it, as it was none other than Miss Ball of dear old Quincy High School. You well remember our class discussions on the immigration question, in Miss Ball's civics class. Wonder where Emeline Barlow is now. Don't you know? No, where is she? Why, she is down in Texas working in an infantry. She in the army? Hal Hal Ha! Who ever heard of that. Tell another one. Who said anything about the army? Well, you said she was in the infantry. l know l did. What would you call it then? Why she has charge of the hospital for babies. Do you know where Miss Sutton is now? No, where is she? She is at the head of the largest class of critics that the world has ever known. This great institu- tion is located at Hodunk, Michigan. She always was pretty snappy in her criticism in her English class back in Quincy. Robert Hendrick. Ernest Knirk. LeMoyne Blackman. Donald Could. ' YW 1 Q 2 8 Mi ' Page 22
