CU 676155 ol 70,3 ecy The Saga Futurescope for 1958 It was a sunny August day in 1958, as I sat at my desk in the beautiful execu- tive building of the Board of Education designed by Edward Loo, the noted archi- tect. I was looking over a list of applicants for positions as teachers at the newly erected Woodward High School, when I noticed that Phyllis Sosnowicz, Alice Waldo, Joanne Leibovitz, and Joanne Lukasiewicz had applied. The names sounded fa- miliar, and I wondered if they were-could they be the same ones with whom I was graduated. As I looked back through the 1948 Saga, I saw that they had signed the Future Teachers of America Charter with me at a tea in the old Wood- ward Library. How well I remember that day! Forest Black had been elected President, and Joe Shibley, Vice President. Forest now edits the Sports Review, a monthly maga- zine published by the Breneman Publishing Corporation, ancl Joe heads the Shibley- Fenady Chemical Corporation. I wonder if he still preaches Shibleyism ? My phone rang, and when I lifted the receiver I saw Bob Johnson on my television plate. He told me he would be in town for a few days before he left for Texas, and would like me to help him get in touch with some of the boys and girls with whom we had graduated. I agreed, and we made a date for luncheon at the Reynold's Restaurant that afternoon. Perhaps you didn't know it, but Bob is producer and designer of the new Johnsonmobile, a car that sails, flies, and has a small compartment in it that con- verts into a miniature kitchen at the press of a button. I walked over to the window and looked down at the beautiful gardens that surrounded the building. It must have taken Joe Mosko a long time to plan their intricate designs. Why, I can remember when he sat next to me in my sociology class-but I awoke from my dreams when the clock struck twelve. I had a Board of Trustees Meeting at twelve-ten. I met Bob in front of the restaurant, and we entered, only to be greeted by Genevieve Reynolds. She and her sister, Juanita, operated the place. It seems they bought it a few months ago from Betty Lou Edwards, who flew to Texas to be head dietitian at Steger's Memorial Hospital. How did you come, Bob, by jet plane or one of your cars? I asked. On the Golden Flyer Line, the railroad that Mack Holt owns. The power unit of his line was perfected by the Verbon Engineering Company. LeRoy, Russell, and Bob have revolutionized the railroad world. I can remember when they almost revolutionized the schooI, I replied. Bob, glancing through the sports section of the paper he had brought on his way down here, noticed the picture of Bob Aubry receiving a medal for outstand- ing athletic prowess. He was, for the second time, to head the United States Olympic Team. Kenneth LaFountaine, city manager, was presenting the medal. Say, listen to this! he exclaimed, John Garcynski, owner of the Cleveland Browns, has signed up Duane Tigges and Jack Smith at 550,000 a year. Why, Bob, I thought that Duane would go into politics. He was always such a staunch Republican. Didn't they all call him Dewey 'or something like that? Before parting that afternoon, we made a date to see Pat PawIak's Scandals of 1958 featuring the charming Bobbie Bolden, whose singing would make a banana iealous when it came to appeal. Scandals was opening at the Arvay Theater on St. Clair Street, where Rivoli and Palace Theaters used to be. While walking back to the Board, I noticed all the buildings that had been built in the last few years as a part of the Toledo Tomorrow project. Davis Business College has been replaced by Joanne Sackman's Secretarial School. Dorothy Miller is in charge of the stenography department, and Eleanor Epperly, office practice machines. Louise Darali teaches typing. Last year Louise won the title of the WorId's Speediest Typist when she typed two hundred words per minute at the contest held in New York. Eugene Hollinger bought out Walgreen's Drugstore a few years ago, and had it completely remodeled. It is reputed to be one of the most beautiful drugstores in Ohio. Ernie Simpson changed Taval's Decorators into deluxe photo studio. He used to specialize in baby pictures until he found it more fun to take pictures of babes. Since it was three-thirty, and I had a conference at four o'clock, I hailed an air taxi. It was one of those King-Reissig Fly-By-Nights, piloted by Dick Bucholz. Soon after we got in the air, we had to make a forced landing while a big bruis- ing cop hurled infinitives at Bucholz. Dick gently chided back, Tch, tch, Mr. Police- man, don't you remember Mrs. McManamon's teaching, Never, never spit an in- finitive? Jack Munger, officer behind the brass buttons, came back with, Mr. Speaker, do you realize--? but he got no further. Having recognized each other, Bucholz and Munger both shouted, Don't be an Unga, vote for Munger! They never did get over their campaign speech of 1947, when Jack was running for Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senior Class. As I alighted from the cab, I glanced at the clock in the center of the block and noticed that I would be late if I did not hurry. The clock was a beautiful one, and a gift to the city from Evelyn Nawrocki, world famous watchmaker. Bob picked me up at seven-thirty in his Johnsonmobile. We sailed across the Maumee River, and then flew over to Bill Moore's Skylight Garage, across from the Arvay Theater. Bill employed girls for attendants because they attracted more cus- tomers. lt was here that we found Monna Roth and Emily Rucinski filing each others fingernails for business was bad that night. Entering the theater we came upon many famous and well-known personali- ties. Talking to Irene Nuszbaum of The Egg and Me fame was Thelma Netry, wife of our ambassador to Finland. Bob pointed to two women standing near the en- trance and said, Say, don't those two look familiar? I'd swear I had seen them some place before. Certainly you have. Thot's Dolly Rosnoski and Rita Palicki. Don't you remem- ber those silly poems they used to write? Let's go over and talk to them. They might know something about some of our old cIassmates. As usual they knew everything about everyone, and were quite willing to re- late some of the facts in-their own iingling manner: After driving a mail plane from bad to worse, Llewellyn Watson now drives a hearse. Carol McNutt pounded keys to win fame, Good work, Carol, it's sure a great game. While Betty Hoffman, with her dizzy blond hair, Can vamp her boss from his office chair. Virginia Wells makes Dad a mighty fine wife, In the Rutkowski household there is no strife. Tea will be served at the sound of a ring, When you go to visit Alberta Woodring. Dick Ubl is working far out at sea, While Rosie Smith stays home and brews his tea. Marion Sterling cashed in on her name, Sterling's silver is on its way to fame. With wives like Mary Hafner and Katherine Slates, Their husbands are thoughtful and never late. Dick Dressel was always a mighty smart lad, Now his six children all call him Dad. Elsie Rutkai is an artist I hear, She plays the accordion and not by ear. As a poet he's famed throughout East and West, For Bob Kinnear has become another Ed Guest. Pot Dynes, who loved to sing all day, Made that her career, and how it does pay. With both eyes on the girls, and his feet on the ground, Life to Bob Puls is a merry-go-round. While Leah Shaheen sails 'round the equator, Rosemarie Zulka runs an elevator. Handsome Henry Roth is a counter spy, While his Joannie Mattes stays home and cooks with Spry. Venus Geanopulos who never would shirk, Is doing her bit in social work. Now here is one who sells pots and pans. Who is that? Why, Mary Callahan. John Blaszezyk has money galore, For he grows pineapples on Hawaii's sunny shore. Eleanor Bodner knows not what to be, She'll be a nurse in our Prophecy. Victor Folta can sing and play, He makes iust gobs of money that way. Joyce Poole plays cards with a poker face, And Virginia Obertacz, her partner, trumps her ace. One who made bowling her folly, ls none other than Eunice Jolley. The girl explorer, Shirley Managhan, Now lives in far off Afaghanistan. Marilyn Leafgreen, with her knowledge and skill, Plays golf with the best, and sure drives that pill. Stumping the sticks with a campaign speech, Is Mitchell Sahadi with a political job in reach. The Jachimiak girls, Doris and Alice, Married kings and now live in a palace. Madelyn Stammer makes her living by sewing, While Joseph Bodyna keeps the grass short by mowing. Archery King is none other than Bill Wells, He took the place of William Tellfsl. Norbert Bonkowski is a foreign correspondent, He writes stories good and despondent.
