V019 EC? of EAZ CALM of 1 7 Having recently completed a world wide tour, we deemed it advisable to make a report concerning the Union High alumni graduating with the class of 47. Following are the details of our journey which began in the inanimate city l?l of Boggs Run. Here we found Hap Storm and Jerry Fisher indus- triously running their partnership auto garage. Jennie Falova lfugitive from Riggs-Lamarrl has a steady job-she puts waves in Storm's hair! Upon reaching Benwood we discovered Angelo De Crease, with assistants Charles Beecher and Bill Gulden, busily producing competition for the Boggs Runners as they build the De Crease De Lux super service station. ln the newly constructed Benwood Telephone office we find chief oper- ator, Maisie Metz, directing her squad of girls, among whom we were pleased to find Dorothy Supan and Willa Elschlager, operating Glendale lines only, while Marg Svrcek and Stella Grombka work side by side, comparing bits of conversation that they just happened to overhear. Also hard at work at the switchboard were Margaret Kramer, Gerry Lucas, Josephine Banaski, and Virginia Klug. The lone long distance operator was Lois Riedel. Our journies took us to Baltimore, Md., where at John Hopkins hospital we found those world famous doctors, Elmer Gardner and John McAninch, with their assistant nurses, Helen Danielson and Kathryn Webb. From Balti- more we traveled north to New York City where we were startled to find in one of the massive buildings the Exclusive Dress Shop of Rose Ann Cianfa- rani. All clothing offered for sale in this charming shop is designed by Deloris Moorehouse. While in the east we read of the oncoming light-weight title bout, be- tween two well known pugilists under skillful promotion of Mike Jacobs, boxing commissioner and decided to see the fight so went to New York. Upon entering Madison Square Garden we caught sight of Joe Kibert and Carl Rakoskie, trainers of match contenders Robert Bartsch and Nick Renzella. While further doing the town we chanced to drop into the Cotton Club where furnishing the music of the evening, were Johnnie Canestraro's Man- hatten Maniacs. Trumpeter--Frank Mele, drummer-Gene Elliott, trom- bonists-Robert Coleman and Regina Burley, pianist-Alvin Tegarden and Vocalist-Pauline Judge, who incidentally, is still being pursued by Tea . We hope this pursuit won't be a case of Love's Labor Lost l Writing features for the New York Times were Daryl McGinnis and the former Mary Ann Gallagher, now Mrs. John Storm.

Before continuing toward the coast by a Deluxe Pullman, we deposited our baggage with Tom Welch, Baggage Master at Grand Central Station, New York. Traveling west, we stopped at Roy Dale Hunt's Dude Ranch. Out roping cattle were Roy Dale's able cowboys, Robert Otto Graham, Fred Marco, David Fike, and Hershal Stanley. Our last State Side stop was in Hollywood where playboys Mac Szy- mialis, Mike Latka and Mitchel Gresak were nonchalantly strolling across Hollywood on Vine St. pausing to look at Gloria Lowers, talented dancer and wife of Electrical Engineer, Glen Wells. Also found in Hollywood were seven Union High graduates serving as sec- retaries for stars. Hilda Furlene, who does all the clerical work for Boris Karloff while Mary Jean Straghan capably assists Peter Lorre. Nellie Mae Burke serves in the capacity of private stenographer to Gary Cooper. Norma Jean Burgess and Sue Ann Peters are now Big Time typists for Metro Gold- wyn Meyer, and told us about typing manuscripts submitted by Alice Nieber- gall and Mary Kleinedler. As we went on to Europe by air, we were hostessed by Ella May Kuhens, airline hostess and our first European stop was London, England, where we visited with Mr. and Mrs. George Tribett lDorothy Shuttlesworthl and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Vavrock lNancy Fullertonl and Mr. and Mrs. Petty Gandy lBlanche Sadalyl. These couples are honeymooning in this great city. Paris, France, our second stop, brought to light the activities of Stanley Chincheck and Bob Green. These one-time Unionites are participating as representatives of the U. S in the world wide sports carnival being held here. Flying on to the Orient we discovered Lt. James Provenzano, Brig. Gen. Robert J. Wagonhoffer and Capt. Donald Stewart, who are living a life of comparative leisure and looking forward to retirement time. We also discovered that Albert Martin, Anton Matesic, Milton Auth and Harry Bueke are enjoying civilian life in the For East. We then journeyed from China to Tokyo, Japan, where rebuilding Hiro Shima were the American Army Engineers. To our amazement we found Lt. Donald Haufe, Sgt. James Dellget, Cpl. George Byard, Pfc. Donald Buchannan,'Pfc. Dale Hathorn and Pfc. Wm. Skvarka, all of Union High School's class of 47A among this hardworking group. ln the wilds of Japan we found working among the heathen, Norma Andreas and Larry Williams, both missionaries.
