The CRIMSON AND WHITE The SENIOR PROPHECY to its mooring mast on top of the new union W , , w station by the Myrtle Ave. viaduct, one fine morning in IQSO. As I descended to the street by way of the elevator I looked about me trying to iind someonel knew. I walked down Myrtle Ave. toward the Willard Hotel and to my surprise I met an old classmate of mine whom I had encountf ered during my wanderings in France. .HE Great trans'Atlantic dirigible had'come We talked for a few minutes and finally I asked her to come up to my room at the hotel where I had made reservations and we would talk over old times. As we were riding to the fourth floor on the elevator, I tcld my friend that I wanted to hear about all my old schoolmates from Willard High and especially the class of 129. We talked for per' haps an hour about the members of the class of '29 and what each one had done. Finally remembering that illustrious class of '28, I decided to ask her about some of them. First I said, tell me about some of those girls who were so crazy to go into nursing, Edna Mae Williams and the little Russell girl. Well, said my friend, They neither one be' came nurses although I think Mary Russell went into a hospital but after two months of training she left. Edna Mae became a dancing teacher and I hear she is getting along Hne with the young people. Mary Russell became a teacher of mathematics and teaches up here at the High School. And say, do you know, every time I look at her Ialways think how much she reminds me of the teacher we used to have, Miss Hills. With her horn-rimmed glasses I know you could notice the resemblance too. And so, on and on, until it became verylate and my friend had to leave as she wasmarriedand had family to look after. I went down to the lobby with her and then returning to my room, I sat down to think of what she had told me. 1 think she omitted none of them and some of the things were astounding. Things that I would never have thought of some people doing. Imagine Edward Piller selling corn plaster. But yes, it was so and one thing was almost beyond my apprehension. Can you imagine LaVerne john' ston as Superintendent of Willard Schools? Madeline Blake has made good at her singing and sings in all the large cities. I learned that Durward Gardner is a Congressman and has a wonderful home in the suburbs of the city where his wife Cthat girl in the .29 classj and he are perfectly con- tented although he gets very enthused over politif cal affairs. Richard McKee is very nicely settled in the theatrical business and I heard this too! Gayle Riddle once was hired by him to do some parts in a vaudeville and as she didn't seem to like to do that kind of acting so she's gone to Hollywood where she can see herself on the screen as she looks to other people. Also, I heard that Ray Snook has become a director in Hollywood and directs most of Miss Riddle's pictures. She seems to have bee come quite popular. Stuart Schillig after working for many years in a Fruit and Grocery wholesale house finally attain' ed the position of purchasing agent and is at pres- ent buying fruit in South America. Walter Williams after going through some col' lege and breaking the world's speed record on the high hurdles, came back and after trying various positions, settled down as a conductor on the new street car line. Lucius Walker has become a millionaire by buy- ing up old Fords and selling them as antiques. Aff ter trying for many years to make a success as a vioiinist and failing, Bus Richards is now at the head of the Willard Fire Department. Gwendolyn Shaffer has a beauty shop on Maple Street and her two assistants are Norma Hatcher, who manicures, and Dorothy Jacobs who also bar' bers. H Evangeline Miller has become a very prominent lawyer in Columbus. She started out in a law ollice as a secretary to a lawyer and finally became one herself. Helen Mathews is now traveling in Europe as a welfare worker. john Snyer and Sonny Pastarmadjieff are both in the West and QContinued on Page 405
