,4 C1120 .7r1fa the ?uture The Ides of March are at hand and as I pack my bags to leave for Washington to confer with proper authorities about the preparation of my income tax, I think of the year 1955 when my high school graduating class visited the famed city. Suddenly I remember the time and hear the Flight Manager shout All in for Washington. As we are gliding through the air, I can see Wilmot Jumper working in the fields of his dairy just outside a small town where Creedon Coulson Industrial Arts Teacher, and Roberta Axelson, history teacher are teaching in the local high school. Now we are over Baltimore where I find Vance Weibley just entering his clothing store and Jeanne Kuhn, as his secretary is busily typing and mailing letters. In an adjoining office bookkeeper Miriam Harry is balancing his books. As the town fades away, we are again flying over the beautiful farm land and I see Betty Chronister going into the house after finishing the morning chores at the barn, to wake and get the children off to school. Still floating through the air, I glimpse the Maryland University Campus where Paul Bishop, and Charles Sherman are coming from dressing after a hard practice. They have been scrimmag- ing in preparation for the football game the following week and discussing the new coach, Tom Lebo. At this same college, in the homemaking class Joan Brandt is completing her semester project. The hostess, Marjory Morrow, is saying, Fasten your safety belts, we'll be in Washington in ten minutes. As we land I see a Saint Patrick's Day parade coming down the street, and whom do you think I see? None other than Ruby Lindsay, Fran Rowles, and Faye Heberlig marching with the WAC's. Watching the parade are secretaries Gwen Fenicle, Darlene Herr and Janice Mellott. As the parade goes on down the street I stroll on and am startled by a toot-upon turning, I see Bob McNew driving a truck for a local concern. On the way to my destination I stop at the Agriculture Building and Jay Mellott, office manager, is taking notes on farmer Robert Nealy's plea for better prices on farm crops. As I stop for a moment to rest, I spy Dean Leib, Secretary of the Navy, in- specting the submarine Albacore, with his secretary Marie McCoy and an electronics technician, Ron Tanger. Farther down the street there is someone hanging a shingle which reads, Ronnie DeRamus, Attorney at Law. At the end of the street is the Pentagon where Carol Groce and Donna Stoner are typing and doing general office work for government officials. As'I make my way to the capitol to file my income tax, I pass the hospital where nurses Joyce Ressler and Carol Weast are preparing a special diet for the President of the United States. -ii?

Arriving at the capitol, I am greeted by Frances Brandt, receptionist who shows me to the tax office of Cletus Wise. After his secretary, Peggy Maurice, finds my account in the files and it is checked to the satisfaction of both of us, I tour the capitol building, where in an anteroom I overhear George Books confiding to his secretary, Donna Shughart, that his local Congressman, Charles Witter, has promised he will buy his surplus apple crop. At the White House the First Lady is having her hair set by Joyce Zimmerman, her personal beautician, while in a well-equipped laboratory Bob Clark prepares a new medicine for the ailing presi- dent. His medical secretary, Shirley Rynard, takes his formulas. Pat Goodyear is tutoring the presidents ten-year-old son in reading, writing, and arithmetic. My plane is scheduled to leave in an hour so I hail a taxi, and find the driver to be Clarence Peiper who whisks me to the station. While waiting for my plane, I buy a national paper to find the names of Rich Ocker who has just won the lightweight boxing championship, and on the fashion page I see Chris Davis has just designed a new clothing fad which will rock all Hollywood. On the plane once again and we're once more flying over Washington. I see a school were Jane Crum, art teacher, and Darrell Clepper, mathematics teacher, discuss the spring edition of the school yearbook. As we fly over the beautiful farm land of Ken Clippinger, Baltimore comes into sight. In a distance is a sky- scraper of a large business firm, and on the 13th floor is Shirley Chronister taking dictation from the president of the company, Tim Gephart. In another office of the same building Shirley Lowery is filing the end-of-the-year reports. Flying on now, I return to my newspaper and see a picture of Bob Lynn beside the car that won him fame in the California races. Passing through one more town before arriving home I see Max Lebo, inspecting a new hearse, and Paul Dugan, Civil engineer, talking to Mayor john Stover about the city works, while his secretary, Fran Motich, records their conversation in shorthand. As we reach the end of town there is john Rowles, home on furlough from the Navy, and Marlin Lear and Vance Raudabaugh who has been discharged from the service-com- paring service experience over a coke in the local drugstore. Now, flying through the countryside, I spy Chester Raudabaugh's farm where Don Finkey is repairing some faulty wiring and Wayne Shughart, County Agent, is coming to speak with the owner about a new fertilizer. As the plane passes along, over the Super Highway I catch a glimpse of Ronnie Mell's truck lumbering its way toward Philadelphia. I fasten my safety belt for here I am back home again after a pleasant and informing trip to Washington, and as I land I realize once more that the Gods and Goddesses of real life are much more effective at keeping the world spinning than any I've read about in mythology.
