Kalamazoo. Michigan, June 11, 1953. Mr. Richard Masters. Principal, Smithsburg High School, Smithsburg, Maryland. Dear Mr. Masters: The whereabouts of our fellow classmates has always been a personal concern of mine, and on this tenth anniversary, 1 have a record of the progress of the group. Smithsburg High School certainly has grown under your guidance—our Alma Mater prints its own school paper, raises all food for cafe- teria use, has movable movie apparatus in all the classrooms, a sick room with a nurse avail- able at all times, a traveling cafeteria, sound- proof rooms, etc. My work, selling “prefab” houses, takes me all over the country—so I have at various places met many former classmates. 1 happened upon Leroy Fleagle at Newark, where I learned he had perfected a type of window that is unbreakable — keeps out dust and allows the vitamin rays of the sun to en- ter. Quinn Fogle is making a name for himself in his movie career. You probably saw the pre- view to his last picture via television. I visited a beauty saloon in Philadelphia, operated by Eileen Pryor and Grace Weaver. The work was all done on a belt which carries the person through a series of machines, oper- ated by the girls. It requires only a few min- utes for one to secure a permanent and a man- icure. Jack Hartle, who has long replaced Marc Warren as a band leader, recently fulfilled an appointment at the Stork Club in New York City. Lester Davis travels daily from Miami to Peru to give vocal lessons to his classes there. He pilots his plane that makes the trip in an hour. John Moore always loved hunting and to this day you can find him greatly absorbed in this sport. John has a pair of collapsible wings that carry him quickly to any part of the district where he is hunting. Richmond. Virginia, claims Betty Stottle- myer as one of its best secretaries. Betty owns a typewriter and chair combination that she uses on her way to and from work so she won’t lose any time. In St. Louis, Missouri, Kenneth Needy, the agent for Fairchild Aircraft Company, is help- ing with plans for an auto-airplane. He is cer- tainly going places. Floyd Gearhart, an ex-Navy radio man, is now directing television transmission at WJEJ. Out on the West Coast, Richard Jacques, ev- eryone’s friend, is now in charge of the air- I ort, which is the terminal for all Pacific trans oceanic travel. At the same field I found Charlotte Mong, now stewardess on a plane that flies non-stop from California to India. Carroll Wyand, chief of the ground crew, works on the great eight-motored transports. Carroll was in the Army Air Corps, remember? Oh, yes. Frances Green and Juno Whitmer, two glamour girls from the United States, are in South America on a good will tour! Their charm will certainly help to keep friendly rela- tions in the Americas. Jane Hauver owns the new all-glass en- closed flower house where prize flowers are grown under special lamps. Jane has many cups and ribbons for her flowers. Yesterday James Smith returned in his heli- copter from Germany where he helped in the reconstruction of industry after the war. In New York the other day, 1 met Christine Olson on her way to the new open air amphi- theater which thousands pack to hear her sing. Albert Kretsinger has just run a four-min- ute mile at Madison Square Garden. Remember how he could run when he attended school? You know those new major league baseball teams for girls? Guess who is the leading pitcher? None other than La Nono Hahn, our old schoolmate. She looks like a twenty-game winner this year. The chief of the fleet of the new super fire- engines in St. Louis turned out to be Conway Flohr who has worked out a plan for fighting fires with a new chemical he has compounded. Marybelle Boswell and Donald Bollinger, collaborating as nurse and physician, are mak- ing international tours demonstrating their new infantile paralysis treatment. According to the patients they have cured, their positions in the world are well established. The ultra-modern decorating establishment located on Fifth Avenue in New York City was created by Betty Tressler. She has made ador- able little cubbyholes out of the penthouses in the two hundred story all-glass skyscraper. Cleo Toms, attired in a white synthetic wood lab coat, came out of her plastic laboratory long enough to tell me of the latest develop- ments of the run-proof tissue paper dresses, when I called on her. On Capitol Hill in Washington, I dined re- cently with the former Phyllis Slick and her husband, an ambassador for the United States of Europe. She has made a hobby of collecting freaks from the different countries. This space isn’t sufficient to tell you all the data I have collected. Come up for dinner Fri- day evening—let’s say seven-thirty—at the St. George. Catch that six o’clock plane out of Smithsburg. Sincerely yours, Earl Bachtell. Paye 12
