'Er-:cs -A 61644 Time, 1961. Scene, the Hotel Taft, New York City. Occasion, the twentieth reunion of the class of 1941. Twenty years ago the persons of our little drama were young innocents, they had pinched pennies to realize a Senior Trip to New York City. To-day they are worldly and successful, most reluctantly approaching the 'fat and forty' stage: again they are in New York City-this time for their twentieth reunion. Paul Gallery, who studied Hotel Administration at Cornell after his Sherwood school days, startled everyone with his unusual ability as a hotel manager. In 1948, the Hotel Taft offered him such good terms that he consented to manage this New York hotel. Now, in 1961, he has invited the entire graduating class of twen- ty years ago for a week's stay at the Hotel Taft, all expenses paid. Paul always did have a heart of gold. It is Thursday noon and the group is all gathered in the grill room where much reminiscing ls going on. They are being entertained by Charley Hurlbut and his Sherwoodites, a snappy swing band, which has replaced the Frankie Masters of '41 . There is one lone young lady among Charl1e's lads-and she is none other than Eleanor Joslyn. She still plays the trombone very well, but her main claim to fame is her appeal as a vocalist. Shortly after graduation she went to New York to cultivate her voice. After some years in opera, Eleanor became interested in swing It was then that Charley's talent scouts spotted her and signed her up. She has been with him ever since, singing her way to fame. There sits Miss Lois Myers, a very distinguished and brilliant looking person. She is smoking a Turkish cigarette at the end of a long cigarette holder, blowing smoke rings with amazing versatility for a Scipio girl. Lois, valedictorian of her class, is to-day one of the foremost scholars of the time. At present she is a professor at Columbia University. Her greatest.del1ght is the library where she spends much of her spare time. She always had a desire to become a librarian, but she became a professor of languages instead, and uses the library to store up more knowledge. On Lois' left we find Mrs. Bob Coyle, the former Margaret Dickinson. Mr. and Mrs. Coyle own a grand home in Auburn, and have two lovely children, Bob Jr., and Eleanor. After graduating, Margaret took a homemaking course at Cornell, taught for three years, and then settled down to put her knowledge into practical use. Seated near Margaret is the former Doris Garlock. Doris' success at dieting during her Senior year at EHCS led her to become a dietician. When Doris finally became a perfect size twelve, she met and married a young man from Alaska. So, in order to keep warm in the cold northern climate, Doris had to regain her pound- age. However, she is happy and successful in her new role. Ruth Wyant, M.D., occupies this same table. For ten years after her grad- uation from Sherwood Ruth devoted her time to extensive studyg she finally won her M. D. gumma cum laude. In 1941 Ruth, you recall, was voted the future nModel Farmer'. As a matter of fact, Ruth's technique in Ag skills helped her work her way through college. At a second table we find Mr. and Mrs. Harold Alexander. Looking not a day older, are both Harold and his blushing bride, Mildred Baker. As a matter of fact they are honeymoonlng. for twenty years Harold had been mustering courage to naskn Millie. Finally he popped the question as Spring Fever hit him the first week in May, 1961. Theirs was a lovely June wedding. True love will out! There too are Mrs. Ray Post and Gerald Chamberlain. During her senior year at Sherwood Muriel made plans for entering college the following September. How- ever the thought of separation from Ray changed her mind, and they were married in the fall. Together they are making a success of Ray's chicken farm and are saving the profits for the future education of little Everett, their son. As for Gerald Chamberlain, he has remained a bachelor farmer. His hopes came tumbling down with Mur1el'e marriage and he can find no one to take her place. Charley Hickey began participating, with a vengeance, in town basketball teams, and soon gained so much fame that he received many offers for profession- sl basketball. He then turned to coaching basketball, and has been very much in demand the last few years. . 1.4 . .-- ..- -7- . .
