94 1 I C1358 IOP CCY The other day as I sat thinking, my thoughts took me to what my classmates would be doing twenty years hence. As it has always been my ambition to be an aviator, I climbed into my little plane and started on my journey to find my class- mates in that new era. As I landed at Wrights' Field at Dayton, I saw none other than John Cole who was at this time the manager of the field. Another plane landed at the field, and out stepped Marjorie Thomas, head Stewardess. While talking with Miss Thomas I learned that among her passengers were Belva Crawford and Bebe Thomas who were employed as stenographers in Chicago. After visiting there a few hours I decided to be on my way. While seated in my plane I turned on the radio and whom do you suppose I heard. The program was being announced by Lawrence Bright and he introduced the world's greatest opera singer, Juanita Hile. At the close of the program I heard one of the outstanding Woman commentators, Ruth Ellen Dulgar, reporting current news flashes. I made my next stop at Findlay, Ohio. Here I found Margaret Phillips as Editor of a Findlay paper. Bradie Marshall was employed as cartoonist for the same paper. I left the paper office and proceeded down the streets of Findlay. As I was walking along I came upon Mrs. Dale Leichty, the former Miss Doris Hendricks. I asked her concerning several of my classmates. She informed me that Mrs. Lynn Stillberger, the former Miss Reva Thompson, was a resident of Findlay and that Dortha Parish Was employed at office work in Indiana. Again I entered my airplane, and journeyed to my home town Vanlue. It was one of the greatest industrial centers of the world. Here I found Cosmo Plotts' as President of Vanlue University. While talking with Cosmo, in walked Robert King, head of the Vocational Agriculture Department. As I was leaving I met John Loudenslager, Director of Physical Education there. John informed me that a number of my classmates were employed at the university. They were Donna Thomas, Florence Fry, and Luella Walter who were working in the dormitories. Virginia Shucl: was employed as Commercial teacher while Pauline Kauffman was teaching Home Economics. After leaving the college and strolling down the Main street of Vanlue I met Mrs. Donnell Hendricks, the former Miss Ruth Cupp. She told me that Robert Shuck owned a prosperous farm south of town. I also found out that Mrs. John Gill, the former Miss Helen Beck was living in Illinois where he husband was head of the Air Forces. Mrs. Virgil Keiffer, the former Miss Betty Beck resided at Fostoria where her husband was employed. After having seen all my classmates it made me a little homesick for my good old school days but I ascended into my plane and was on my way. Juanita Hendricks Page fifteen
