1930 THE GLEANER 1930 Juniors President Vice-President Treasurer Advisor Andrew Dwyer Cedric Brimmer Norma Von der Ohe Miss Wendtland Special to the Reedsburg Rimes. May—1940 A. D. After a far reaching chase in and about Chicago, I succeeded in finding a few of the '31ers. Ruth Steinweg and Mary Sands were putting on a dance at the Rialto as the Unous twins, with Kermit Hinz as boss and instructor. Their act made me so gay I adjourned to a very inviting cafe—The Pretzel— to find it was run by Lucille Monn and George Weitzel with Edna Neibuhr at the cash register. The following month yielded Willis Holtz and Harold Schneider operating a glue factory at Gangway, Ohio; Ike Schroeder in Rip Van Winkle at a theatre in Detroit, with Robert Riggert and Bernice Lashinski co-starring in New Worlds to Conquer, in which Robert sings the theme song—something like this: ‘‘My head has a world inside it which must be explored some day; I had a few thoughts that tried it but they must have lost their way. I also found Zech and Brimmer, Inc., manufacturing mattresses at Hot Springs, and a bug house at Coney Isle—one of those places where you try to go down shimmying stairs, troubles never come single but always in pairs, the mirrors reflect you as a freak and finally you come out looking very meek— run by Hanson and Heitkamp with Wanda Zarski in the role of a vamp to draw the crowd. The next day our foreign correspondent sent the following dispatch: ‘‘Have some news items and they're stunners. Add them to your list of '31ers. Walking through a little town near Munich I met two Dutch Frau with rosy cheeks and starched tunics. Not until they passed with smiling Guten Dags” did I recognize Ann Yorman and Elvira Koenecke behind those bouncing smocks. Then I went into Herr Lange's Cafe, and someone tuned in on AWK. There I saw Dick Anderson, Ruth Wiening, and Virginia Kaldenberg give a jig (television). Then to Paris and Kelley's Club, famous for its grub, there to eat Pfaffles (Marion's lighter than air waffles). Later, at Lake Constance, Mildred Quimby gave me a ride in her gyroplane. She had a letter from Aurelia Droes who was visiting Dorothy Dorrow and Marguerite Hasz at Hawaii. The natives had dedicated a song to her, ‘Hello. Aurelia, How Are You.’ By the way, she saw Mr. Cornell, too. Mildred also had a letter from Arlene Heuston and Hazel Craker at Danzig on the sea, where they were learning how to be free, and another from Elva Wolters, Carol Schroeder, and Dorothy Meyer who were living a life somewhat higher at Quebec, trying to slide down hill without taking a spill.” I am sorry that I cannot report on the rest of the class, but because of their wide distribution to all parts of the world, I can get no information about them. 12 1 Margaret Zimmerman
