18264 Kid Avenue New York City 7, New York May 16, I960 Dear Mr. Beck, It seems only a short time since I graduated from Wheatfield High School. But I realized the time last night when my husband, two daughters and I attended the Star Theater here in New York City. In the newsreel the more prominent and famous people were interviewed. I was greatly surprised when many of my former classmates appeared. Mr. John Clark, the world’s most traveled man, interviewed these people and related some of his own experiences and acquaintances. Mr. William Hendrix, the famous symphony leader, told Mr. Clark of his future plans. He has made a great discovery of outstanding talent, which he will add to his orchestra, a singer, who has been studying in Paris and at the present has just started her career. This young lady is Miss Marlene Harrington, She was recently married to Daniel Darner, but will continue using her maiden name. Mr. Robert Burke, the cornet player who returned from Shanghai will join the orchestra next month after a brief rest in Miami, Florida. While attending a concert, Mr. Hendrix heard Mrs. Delmar Patterson playing the piano. After the concert he dined with Mrs. Patterson, whom he found to be his former classmate, Betty Hershman. She has decided to join this well known orchestra following her last concert this season. Mr. Bill Salyer asked Mr. Hendrix and his orchestra to entertain at his Diamond Club. He is famous for helping young talents fulfill their ambitions. Just as I was recovering from the shock of seeing these people from home, I realized it was only the beginning. Mrs. Glen Banister appeared on the screen making her appeal to the citizens of the United States to contribute more money to the Polio fund. She is the former Jennie Lee Hetrick, head nurse at the Sister Kenny Hospital. The persons to contribute the largest sum of money to the cause were Mr. and Mrs. James Hunter. Mrs. Hunter, the former Ada Lisk, recently inherited a great sum of money from her rich Aunt in Ireland. The great battle is on. That is the basketball Tourney. Coach Grover Powers and Coach Robert Williams with their nationally known teams will meet here to determine the basketball championship. Coach Williams gave in detail the progress of his team, but Coach Powers in few words showed great confidence in his team. The teams are evenly matched and promise an exciting game. Mr. Clark interviewed the youngest person to hold the office of Vice-Presidency. This brilliant young man is Mr. Gerald Meyers. His personal secretary is Miss Lila Meyers, who is interested only in her work and has decided definitely to remain single. Worland Brothers outstanding producer this year is Mr. William Pucka. His Academy Award winning picture ’’The Secret Passion” starred the new, fast rising actress. Miss Reita Richards. I saw the picture and it was truly a great piece of work. 13

The Brownstone Mansion owned by the multi-millionaire, Miss Jo Anne Nelson was the scene of a jewel robbery amounting to approximately a million dollars. The chief detective of Chicago, Mr. William Rutherford, was summoned to the scene. With the help of Captain Robert Dybcio of the police force, the thief was seized in his hotel room. Through efficient cooperation another great case was closed. Miss Peggy Nuss and Mr. Robert Jones, her high school sweetheart, were married last week. Miss Nuss is one of John Power ' s leading models and cover girls. . Mr. Clark met Mr. Max Risner and Mr. Clifford Theis in London. Fancy seeing two people he had known back in Wheatfield. These men have entered the battle of swimming the English Channel. They are both in good condition and the race should be very close. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Theis entertained Miss Joan Gulbransen at their country estate. Miss Gulbransen has completed her tour with the Hollywood lee Revue. She is the sensation of the year on skates. Mrs. Theis, better known in Wheatfield as Iona Leach, saw Miss Gulbransen’s great performance and recognized her as a former Wheatfield Senior. Miss Cecelia Moss, Hollywood’s most talkative reporter, was seen at the Lucky Four Club. She was wearing the latest hair style created by Miss Hazel Park, Worland Brothers ' well known hair stylist. When they met for an interview, Miss Park offered to design a new hair style for Miss Moss to compliment her personality. This was one offer she couldn ' t refuse. Now she is the talk of Hollywood. Mr. Raymond Caldwell and Mr. Robert Garling became famous practically overnight when their new song hit, “The Wondering Waltz’’ was sung over television last week. On Mr. John Clark’s return trip from London, he met Miss Mayola Salyer. She too had been visiting many of the European countries. They were exchanging experiences when the airline hostess appeared. To their amazement, she was Miss Betty June Williams, soon to be the wife of Mr. Felix Lovely, one of her flight pilots. Seeing these people brought back many memories of the days we spent in high school. Give my regards and best wishes to the faculty and students of Wheatfield High School. To you and all my friends I am Betty Kessinger (Mrs. Norbert Henrichs) 14
