Midyear Prophecy The movie camera is focused on City Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, 1964. My photographer and I were just called to the hospital because Donna Ioiiner, the star of the Thompson Uackl and Thompson Giml Motion Picture Studio, has injured her leg while shooting a film. The title of her new movie is The Big Squeeze, which was written by Rudy Raduegge. Donna's doctor is jim Myers, the bone spe- cialist, who is assisted in his work by the registered nurses, Barbara Canter and Lola Oelfler. As we entered the hospital and looked down the hall, we saw Kathy Reiss and Joyce Buchanan scrubbing and waxing the floors of a complete ward. This was their punishment for neglecting to perform their duties. Passing them, we then approached the hospital kitchen where we saw Etna Schumm preparing dinner from a newly-published recipe book, Delightful Ways to Prepare Dinnerf, which was written by the home economist, Orville Iarrell. Phil Zauderer and Wayne Young were cleaning the pots and pans. As we happened to glance out of the window, we saw Charles Blizzard and Lee Salyer pulling Helen Bajus out of the cement where she had just been asked by Mayor Dean Stavrides to make a footprint, since she was the founder of the hospital. While looking over the crowd that had gathered to see the hospital dedication, we saw Ronald Horcher who was now the Governor of Ohio, Pete.Giddens, superintendent of the Boys, Industrial Schpiol in Lancaster, and Annette Woodward who is now playing iirst violin in the New York Symphony Orc estra. As we proceeded down the corridor on our way to Donna's room, we passed the recreation room. We decided to go in and see if we knew anyone in there. We then saw Bob Huskey who was re- cuperating after spraining his wrist while playing the drums. He has his own band now and they travel all over the U.S. joe Piccione is also a member of his group. They recently completed a tour which took them all the way to Los Angeles, California, where they performed at the McGory CSusanJ jazz Theatre. Bob told us that Mary Eichenberger and Roberta Rosenauer are now very famous cover girls on the coast. They are graduates of the DeWitt CFredJ Modeling School. After we left the recreation room, we proceeded on our way to Donnais room. My photographer, Dick Byrd, took some pictures of her to show in the local movie houses. She told us that George Cook was working at the movie studio as prop man and Frank Reeves was sports director. After leaving Donna's room we were assigned to cover the socialite wedding of Pat Lahey and! Howard Kimberly. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. David Steinmetz, who had completed his studies to be a minister in half the time that it usually takes. Some of guests at the wedding included Jim Wonder, a movie director, Fred Smith, now the owner of Smith's Dry Cleaneris and Shirley Rose who is now a teller at the Chapman Savings and Trust Bank which is owned and operated by john Chapan. john told us that Barbara Gordon is now working at the Bornstein fWillardj Restaurant and Food Sup- ply Co. Sally Sherman and Gail Binkley are working as clerks in the order department. Willard Bornstein told us that Bob McLeod has just received a plaque for winning first place in an archery contest. Donna Miller and Nellie Schmitt placed first and second, respectively. The contest was sponsored by the Wesney Manufacturing Co. Marlene Wesney is the founder and president of the company and Margaret Murgatroyed is the Erst vice president. As we watched the ,wedding party walk in, we saw that Carla Kuepfer was maid of honor in a stun- ning Pat Smith original designed by Patricia Smith. The dress was made of ivory satin and lace and had been shipped to Columbus by the Stewart fBilD Shipping Co. and delivered to the church by the Teal fDickJ Cab Co. After leaving the wedding my photographer and I proceeded to the sports arena where they were having a basketball game between South and North. This is the Hrst game to be played in the arena, which was donated to Columbus by Bob Wagoner, the owner of the Wagoner Dept. Store. The referees of the game were Bill Shinn and Ion Sagester. We also saw our old classmates, Jack Phillips and Ron- nie Callander, who now are reporting for the New York Times. Looking over the spectators we saw jean Thompson, the world famous bowling champion, and Donna Iackson, who is a police woman in Cleveland, Ohio. Donna told us that Ann Hughes and jerry Hughes were working as chemical engineers at the Freedman fMortonD Paint Co. Barbara Howell is a secretary at the same company. While we were still at the restaurant eating, we saw Lucille Cacciatore come in with her campaign manager, Pat Hedegus, Lucille is running for Lt. Gov. of Ohio for the second term. She told us that she had just returned from New York where she appeared on a T. V. program called, Adults Take A Standf' One of the stewardesses on the plane was Barbara Biete. Lucille saw a talent show while she was in New York and the headliners were Ann Cook, Alice Byrd, .and Norma Moore. The Mistress of Ceremonies was Betty Hicks and Millie Claar was the musical director. Pat Norris was also on the ro ram. P gAfter leaving the restaurant we returned to the movie studio. My business manager, Ronnie Basler, told me that the academy award winner, lim Bope, had called, inviting us to a party for the South High graduating class of Ian.. 1954. The guests of honor were Harold Harris and Charles Case, who had finally graduated from business college. ..-.. David Wooley, who is now a chemistry professor at Michigan State University, IS flying in on the Case CCharlesl Airlines to be able to attend the Alumni banquet. . . As I returned to my desk I thought about all the wonderful times we had during our four years at South High School. Rnhnrm Dworkin
