shop in San Francisco, Elaine Cromie was a teacher in a school in New York City, and Clifton Hunt, having won a Rhodes scholarship, was now at Oxford. She also informed us that “Red” Miner was drawing the il- lustrations for “Jim” Teahan’s latest novel “Banished With the Breeze,” which was later to be made into a movie starring Leona Thompson as Crimson O’Hara and “Art” Corsetti as Rhett Servant. The train stopped at Grand Central Station and we took a taxi that was driven by “Ray” Wood. While tearing around the block for the third time at the terrific speed of twenty miles an hour, we collided with another taxi. Before “Ray” could collect his wits he had received Lawyer Turcotte’s personal card and the news that Turcotte would do the col- lecting from then on. We decided to walk the remaining distance to tihc Yankee Stadium, but when we discovered that “Kate” Ellis was a guide for a small tour about the city, we changed our minds and took the tour. While in Radio City, included in the tour, we wrere happy to meet “Bea” Wilson who took us to the observation tower. In our tour of the slums we met Ruth Thorne, now one of the greatest social workers of the time. As we passed by the Metropolitan Opera House we found that Helen Pechette, a concert pianist, was playing in her first performance that night. Her latest teacher Rosamond Mac Dougall was wringing her hands in nervousness. When our tour ended, we left the bus directly in front of “Ye Old Beauty Shoppe” owned and operated by Mildred Ellis and Elsie Olson. Sitting under the dryer nearest the door was Eleanor Gaudette, biting her nails for fear her hair would not be dry in time for her to meet her pal Dorothy De Grechie. They were to attend a party given in honor of the secretaries of Mile. Marion Hewitt. The last picture that flashed before me was that of a baseball game at Yankee Stadium. The contestants were the Yanks and the Giants. The stands were packed to capacity, but the only spectator I recognized was the former Velda Cramer, now the wife of a successful lawyer. As we took our places in the reserved seats we were surprised to see Spencer Boyce, our old classmate, selling “Cigarettes, candy and chewing gum— ten cents!” It was the last half of the ninth inning; the Yanks were at bat with the bases loaded and two men out. Glenn Pratt, bat boy, was removing the bat thrown down by the last batter when a thunderous wave of applause went over the crowd. The sensational rookie Frank Nacy was up next. The Giants’ southpaw, Cy Currier, had stepped to the mound. The first ball was right over the plate for a called strike. This was followed by two balls and another strike. A deadly silence had settled over the stadium. The pitcher looked around, took his time, wound up and let go. “Ball, too high!” called umpire Henry Edie. Beads of perspiration stood out on the forehead of the pitcher as he wound up for the pitch that would tell the story. At last! The ball had left the pitcher’s hand; it went like a streak of lightning; Nacy raised his bat and then—I woke up. —28— —Irene Gravelle, ’38.
