May, 1932 THE OPTIMIST Page 23 SENIOR PROPHECY Here we are! All having a good time. YVe, the class of '32, are all enj oying ourselves at the Alumni Banquet, which is being held at Townsend High School, Slay 18, 1952. ln a large 11ew school building, which has bee11 erected on the site of the old one, we recall the memories of our school days and discuss the many changes which have taken place in the old community. lt has grown to be a very prosperous town. One of the leading features of its progress is a large factory which produces the world renowned mechanical man, which eliminates the hard manual labor on the farm. 'lhis marvelous invention was the idea of YVilliam Oates. He became so tired of doing chores night and morning tlltlf he suddenly set himself to the task or Ellllllilllg of some way to keep from having to work. The result of his labor was this excep- tionally popular machine man, which looks a great deal like 'Lin Henry of Ohio l armer fame. Anxious to learn whether the rest of the class has been as successful as Bill, we learn that John Eber has become a heart specialist. He holds an important position in a hospital in Hopscotch, Michigan. QNVe wonder if he wounds hearts so tllilt he can heal them.j Arlene liocher, whose name has appeared again and again on the womens sport page of the news- papers, is particularly noted for her long distance baseball throwing. She attributes her success in this line to tile experience gained at the Huron County track meets. Arlene has accepted a posi- tion as physical director in Bassar College. W e always thought that Robert Martin would at- tain great heights because of his remarkable ability in public speaking. And, to be sure, he has not disappointed us, for he is now in Congress, and we hear that he can compete with the best speakers. lf you wish a new law passed just tell Bob about it and he will talk them into it. Benjamin Harrison has become an admiral of the United States Navy. You can imagine how tall and handsome he looks in his uniform. Ethel Plue, an aviatrix, is now piloting a passen- ger plane from New York to Paris. She has taken part on many occasions in stunt flying. lt makes one hold his breath to watch her perform some of her favorite dare-devil stunts. Lester Nichols, we find, has become an eminent musician. He lives in Berlin, Germany, where he composes a great deal of music. Grace Sherwood seems to be enjoying life very much. She writes a great deal. If you wish to spend a pleasant evening. just pick up her latest novel. uve will guarantee that you won't be able to lay it down until you have finished the last page. The title of her latest book is 'fl.ove in a llistf' John Conry, a great scientist, has now perfected a means of communication with the people of ltlars. Bernice Omo, a popular movie actress, lives in a magnificent mansion in Hollywood. She attributes her suiccess to her husband who directs her pictures. VVe agreed that the 20th anniversary of our class was the most successful one which We had attended, for it was the first at which all eleven members of the class had been able to be present. Yve hope that the thirtieth anniversary will be just as success- ful and that we shall be able to learn more about the progress of our classmates. 113. B, In Memorium of Mrs. Rose Rudin Roosa ttbntinued from page 121 Convention in San Francisco, for the Evansville Courier and allied papers in Indiana and Kentucky. Later, she went to the Evansville Journaln, where she edited the special Sunday Magazine Sec- tion for boys a11d girls. She made the name Rose Rudin famous as a writer of features and big news stories. She was married November 12, 1921, to Howard Roosa, former Editor and part owner of the 'fEvans- ville Courier newspaper. They spent two years in Europe, attending the Passion Play, traveling, and visiting relatives of her parents in Switzerland, in- cluding the family of the celebrated Swiss artist, Albert Anker. Returning to America, they Went to Albuquerque, New hlexico, for her health. Her natural disposi- tion and energy would not permit her to take the needed rest. Not content to do only housekeeping, she became a member of the Tuesday Literary Club, and a life member of the Albuquerque tVoman's Club. In 1927, the General VVoman's Federation award- ed her the prize out of 81 contestants from all parts of the United States, for the best news article fea- turing a woman's club activity. ln 1928 she became interested in politics and led the activities of the Democratic XVomen of New Mexico. She organized and was President of the State W'omen's Democratic Club of 2700 members, of which the Vice Presidents were hlrs. Helmick, wife of Judge Helmick, and Mrs. Bratton, wife of the U. S. Senator from New Mexico. She was in demand for the platform and spoke in all parts of the State, often broadcasting her speeches. The strain was too much. Pneumonia developed to further aggravate and weaken her condition, and after long months in a sanatorium, she passed away December 26, 1931. The Albuquerque, N. M. newspaper stated upon her death that she was mourned as the best loved woman in Albuquerque. Her accomplishments won for herself the admiration of young and old, from the humblest citizen to men and women high in the educational, newspaper and political life of lndiana and New Mexico. The numerous newspaper no- tices, telegrams and letters received by hir. Roosa from their mutual friends. expressed not only sin- cerest sympathy for him, but a feeling of personal loss and sorrow occasioned by her untimely death. i'To live in the hearts of those we love, is not to dief, By Fritz Rudin, 221 Yvooster St., Elyria, Ohio
