Class Prophecy It was hard work swimming ashore from that Detroit trip and a long stay on the desert isle: twenty years. But when I came back to Conneaut— Things weren’t at all like they were before I went. As I walked down Main Street what should I hear but the court crier, Clyde Smith, saying “Oyez, Oyez, Oyez.” Upon further investigation, I found that Jay Childs was not just plain Jay Childs, but Judge Childs, and who was it taking down the court procedure so swiftly? Why, none other than Bernice Graves, Conneaut’s court reporter. On further investigating the town, I stopped in at Conneaut’s leading department store, founded in 1942 by Myron Pease. The store was doing a rushing business. In the bathing suit department, who do you suppose was modeling bathing suits of the latest fashion? Shirley McMillen. Margaret Clarke and Evelyn Simpson were two of the most capable clerks, and Dorothea Huber-ich was the buyer who went to the fashion centers, Paris, New York and Hollywood, for all the latest styles for “Pease and Company.” My next stop in this new Conneaut was at the bank. Here was Anthony Christopher “behind the bars.” A great financier. This position was undoubtedly due to the fact that he always could explain stocks and bonds to the Economics class. Anthony’s private secretary was Frances Ann (? . . . What was that last name?) who cherished her typing and shorthand so much in high school. After my errand at the bank, I hailed a taxi whose driver was “Never Speed” Reets. Somehow or other, I ended up in the hospital, no one seemed to know much about that. Anyway, when the taxi crashed there was “Movietone” Hollister rushing to the scene of disaster with his candid camera. He was a reporter for the Conneaut News-Herald, trying to please Editor William “Utah” Tinney. When I awakened in the hospital, there was nurse Dorothy Beach to hold my hand ar.d Dr. Wiley, successful brain surgeon. With the work of these two, especially “Doc,” it wasn’t long before I was once more meeting old friends of Rowe High. One day I turned on my radio to hear John Lahti, announce that “G Man” Buie was giving a dance for the graduating class of ’38. At the dance I learned many more things about the class. Marjorie Swartz was wnuag a column, entitled Muvice to tne Lovelorn” in one of New York's largest papers. Irene Kangas (?) was broadcasting her helpful hints on “How to stay happily married.” William Pataky and Harold Atkins were operating a school for typists with Betty Jane Childs their “Always smile” secretary. Bob Rector and Charles Massie were engaged in a peculiar kind of vocation. I hey were holding chamelon races every week and were now “in the money.” Ar-vine Seppi had become the athletic coach at a large college. Mabelle Wheeler was a well-known manufacturer of “Madame Mabelle Mae” no-grease cosmetics. Grace Goonus was doing her duty by helping to educate the heathen in faraway countries. After J. Edgar Buie’s party at Washington, I went back to Conneaut and decided 1 would like to take a little drive out in the country. A very well-kept farm had a sign “Jersey Cows lor Sale.” Of course 1 had no intention of buying a cow, but I thought 1 would stop and see if maybe some of my Rowe High cow fanciers lived there, and sure enough, Leon Stephenson was successfully operating a 200-acre farm with Richard Shumake as his assistant. A little later I stopped at a little country store which was owned and operated by Duane Kent. There I saw Ernestine Groff demonstrating how to use a miracle corn pad to keep the corn borers out of corn. After a time, I thought that I would go and visit the school once more. In the Senior room was Jean Whitney, now teacher of Physics, and Mrs. Kitchen playing “Hang ’em” on the blackboard. The worst part of it was that Mrs. Kitchen had “hung” Jean on her own name. Here Joe Bagnall was taking a postgraduate course in Home Economics. Lydia Gaus had set up a growing business known as “The rent-a-pen” for shorthand students, and she was earning profits.
