Dietz, who had just won an extremely hard case for Virginia Loomis who had charged Alma Maki with rustling her (Virginia) cattle across the border and branding them with the letters R. H. S. in memory of her dear old school. Geraldine Chapman, who had acted as master of ceremonies, suggested that we spend the remainder of the evening in a bit of dancing and after leading us in three loud cheers told the orchestra to “swing it” (whatever that means). One of my greatest surprises of the evening came when I looked over and saw the handsome young orchestra leader—none other than Dean Brauch and he certainly knew his business. As I glanced over the faces of the members of the orchestra, I recognized a clarinet player and did she know how to play. My goodness, it was Betty Walters and, I was told, that she had been called “The Queen of Jazz” by Paul Whiteman. A lovely floor show was given and Evelyn Montgomery and Fred Champlin, famous interpretative dancing team who had been discovered by Maestro Brauch, gave a wonderful performance. The “Three Sisters of Harmony,” Janet Holdson, Dorothy Bennett and Ruth Dietz, who sang “Boo Hoo” and “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” were clapped back three times. Not a person who attended the banquet got to bed until the wee hours of Sunday morning but I had made up my mind to attend church after I had been told that John Bagnall was the minister and so I did. Sunday noon I went to a restaurant for lunch and there I found that one of the It cDight ' 1938: Jean spilled ink on her employ- er’s new soft hat . . . and had to hide it. 1939: Jane stalled her car on the Nickel Plate railroad tracks. 1940: Roger scored the winning touch- down for Ohio State over Indiana. Wally had to push Roger’s Buick clear to Amboy because he had bet “Rog” he just couldn’t do it. 1941: Naomi fell through a hole in the ice over in Bagnall’s Pond. (She always said she just couldn’t wait . . . for swimming time). 1942: Wilbert wrote a poem about the mayor and had to leave town for a couple of weeks. 1943: Pete broke the National League waitresses was Anna Shuster and she told me that her friend Anna Bailey had a very good position in an office at the Conneaut Telephone Company. Sunday afternoon I visited Elizabeth Quigley who had married a prosperous undertaker and was living at 214 Liberty Street. I had a very nice visit and we decided to go shopping the next day. As I started to purchase an article, I looked up and there stood Pauline Champlin who was clerking in this large department store. My first and only bit of sad news came when Anna told me that Wilbert Best was in the hospital. It seems that he had written a romantic piece of poetry to his lady love and she, not being able to recognize his genius, had uncon. sciously put him in the hospital. I went to visit him the next day. As my vacation was near an end, I decided to visit the beauty parlor before returning to New York and there I found Naomi Kirkwood. She had set up a lovely modern beauty salon and she told me she enjoyed her work immensely. Upon my return to New York, I discovered that William Mackey had been elected president of the United States. How glad and proud I was! Our class had produced a president of the United States! And now I had seen or heard from everyone of my classmates of 1937. Knowing that they were well and happy, I closed my eyes and drifted into a peaceful slumber to dream of happy days back in Rowe High School. pen ‘Here home run record. 1944: Marjorie took a senior class to meet the president. 1945: Bud paid Elizabeth the three cents he borrowed from her back in the spring of ’37. 1946: Betty Walters spent the night in jail, because she was caught fishing off the breakwall after midnight. 1947: Dean Brauch put a ball through his cellar window, playing sandlot baseball with the boys. 1948: Leon, a visiting alumnus at Rowe High, scolded several senior boys for coming in late in the morning. Leon was substituting for the Truant Officer.

Class Plight ‘Flag Should Rose Rollins marry a ne’er-do-well wealthy young man to live a life of luxury or should she take the more difficult course of going: to college and later marrying her worthy childhood sweetheart, even though he is poor? This was the plot around whcih the clever class night play was centered. A rehearsal for Rose’s class night program gave the opportunity for Rowe High school’s Senior Class poem by Wilbert Best, prophecy by Janice Saylor, Will and Testament by Dorothy Bennett, and History by Mr. Holdson. Rose was influenced in her decision by the dream of her grandmother, in which the beautiful rainbow chorus appears. All of the Senior class took part. The play was directed by Mrs. Kitchen. ‘Detroit Grip You may have wondered why the Seniors are not too sad about graduation. They do hate to see the 27th come, but unless it does the 31st could not come either, and that is to be the Seniors’ last big event. Imagine leaving Cleveland dock at 11:30 p. m. Monday night, after going to Cleveland by train, on the largest, most luxurious liner on inland waters, The Greater Detroit. At 7 o’clock on Tuesday 41 eager Seniors will begin the tour of Detroit which is being planned for them. During the afternoon they will be permitted to see Detroit in their own way. The boat which leaves Detroit at 11:30 on Tuesday night will arrive in Cleveland in time for breakfast. The tired but happy Seniors will leave for Conneaut via train on Wednesday.
