Class llruplfery The first picure that comes into view is a picture of my old classmate, Elsie Apple. She is a private secretary of the president of National Cash Register, in Dayton. The next scene takes place in a drug store, where we see Jack Barga as proprietor. Here we see Marion Barton, who has become a very successful farmer. We now see the new orchestra leader in our school. At first we don’t recognize her, but we see that it is one of our most talented classmates, Betty Blue. We see another new teacher in our school, who is Marvin Brandt, the Vocational Agriculture instructor. Who is that traveling salsman at the neighbor’s house? When he turns around, we see that it is Bernard Bruns, who is selling women’s lingerie. The lady at the door looks like Mary Bess Fiebiger. Do you suppose her interest lies entirely in the lingerie? We are now in Bradford, where we are watching a football game between Versailles and Bradford. But look! This is a surprise! Who is Bradford’s coach? Why, it is Paul Cool. A restaurant moves up in our view, where we see Joe Dirksen as the head waiter. Here, on the street corner in Chicago, we find Walter Stover passing out ballots, which state that he is the candidate for mayor on the Republican ticket. We next see Henry Etter, the Brethren minister. Before him stands a couple who are being married. Looking closer, we find that it is John Gasson and Betty Koverman. John has taken over his father’s poultry business. Who are those nurses walking toward the hospital? As they come closer, we discover that it is June Shuff and Odette Frantz. After a brief visit with them, we learn that Odette is the superintendent of the hospital, and June is the adviser. Next we visit the Buckeye Overall Co., where we see Betty Hole as an inspector. Our next scene takes us inside a doctor’s office, where we see John Houser as the doctor. He must be a good M. D., as his office is full of patients. Page Twenty-six

The Clark Company has selected two of our classmates for their salesmen. Here we see Ralph Johnston and Paul Peters, and we are certain they will have success as candy salesmen. We now shift to a farm house, where we see Marcella Kelch as a busy housewife. Who is her husband? Well, we will leave you guess. We next enter the office of a lumber yard, where we see John Paul Kelch as manager. He is as “happy-go-lucky” as ever. We now see Ruth Oehrtman as the Directress of the Children’s Home. We know that with her personality and understanding she is well fitted for her position. Who is this lady coming down the street with an arm-load of packages? It is Marjorie Overla hurrying home to get her curly-headed husband’s supper. As we enter Hupe’s Restaurant, we see our classmate, Roberta Pepiot, working in the kitchen. We wonder why she is employed here. Our next picture takes us to a Court House, where we see Dorthabel Pitsenbarger employed as a typist. Now we are in New York, where we find Reva Richhart working as a designer in an exclusive dress shop. We come back to Greenville, where we see Yula and Lucille Rismiller operating a millinery shop. Martha Schutz has gained prominence in the social service work. We know that with her ambition and steadiness she will gain success. Another classmate who has found success in life, is Wilfred Schock-man. We see him as manager of the “Dayton Ducks”. Who is the mechanic working on Mr. Hoerner’s car? Through the grease we recognize the features of Orville Schrader. We now visit a dairy farm, where we see Robert Stover milking a cow. We now enter the Palace Department Store in Greenville. The first clerk we see is Margaret Spillers, who is in charge of the glove counter. As we pass the Y. M. C. A., we meet Beryl Ward, who informs us he is instructor of athletics of the “Y”. Our next scene shifts to Hollywood, where we see Margaret Ward as a glamorous screen star. We are sure, with her looks and ability, she will find success. Our last picture takes us on board a large steamer, where we find Wanda Wise as a hostess. We are sure that her sunny disposition will lead her far in life. Page Twenty-seven
