tall lanky boy appears and it is Charles Scott in a uniform. He is putting gasoline into an automobile gas tank and as I look at the sign above the door and he disappears inside to make change the picture fades out. As I look into the crystal again. Lo and behold there is Michael Turilfo teaching the fairer sex the art of toe dancing. He seems to be doing well too, as there are a large number of girls flocked around him. The crystal seems to cloud a little and as it becomes clearer I see Madge Klein in a chemistry laboratory and with her is Peggy West. They are trying to find the grapes in grape nuts. My, how those girls work. What’s this! Why it must be Joseph Borges shaking hands with Dizzy Dean. They seem pleased about something. Must he they have jointed the Toonerville Town Sluggers. What a large macaroni factory! There is Antonio Perronio gazing at the longest piece of macaroni in the world. Everyone seems to he congratulating him upon his work of art. Oh my! Porky Morgan, what are you doing wearing that grass skirt? It must he Hawaii as Gordon is sunning himself upon the beach with a crowd of dark skinned beauties. As you know. Gordon is the famous director in Hollywood who has just finished the picture “More Wind.” What a lovely church, I see Norman Hibbcrt at the pulpit and he is preaching his favorite sermon, “we are here to convert the heathens, let’s begin with ourselves.” Well, if there isn’t Ethel Kerr. She is working in a Coney Island restaurant preparing toasted weenies for none other than Maynard Suzman, the famous traveling salesman who stops there quite frequently. “Ladies and Gentlemen! Come right this way to the greatest show in the world.” As the scene comes closer I recognize John Simoes, better known to the side show world as John Saymore Saymore. I next see a broadcasting studio and who is that talking? None other than Thomas H. Byrnes and Lizzie Lish, those great competitors of the air. Their recipes for housewives are nationally known. The scene shifts to the fireside of one of their most devoted patrons and there we see Ruth Demers taking down a recipe for Angel food cake whose main constituent is absorbent cotton. The scene changes and I set- Connie Campa-nello and Isabel Bento dressed in neat nurses’ uniforms. They arc holding a struggling patient who is none other than Robert Mcfiann, better known as the heart breaker of Hollywood. He seems to be suffering from a nervous breakdown after his latest picture with Elsie (iilroy. She is the best known actress in Hollywood. Charles Hartley photographs all of her pictures Why, Ethel Connery must be a news reporter. She is about to interview a duke or a count. Here’s luck to you Ethel. Leaving Ethel, we hear a sound like thunder, and cracking wood. Save us! Here’s Maria Quintal, having a little recreation in her super bowling alley. She has defeated all the well-known champions of the world, men and women, amateur and professionals. As the crystal clears for the last time we see Clyde Pendleton, or is it Clyde? His face is black. Why, he must be Pit of the famous Pit and Pat television team. I left the Gypsy tepee feeling that my fifty cents was well spent. All of my former classmates are well on the road to success and prosperity. As for myself. I have studied hard, have read Shakespeare’s works from beginning to end. but cannot seem to advance intellectually while I pursue my present vocation of ditch -digging. However, since I am the oldest worker. the boss tells me I’m in line for a raise. IRVING MURRAY SHIRLEY SMITH CHARLES HARTLEY ELSIE GILROY GREEN amdL WOIDUE- 25

Meccy white clouds, now, and an airplane. I he pilot is very daring—such tailspins and loop-the-loops. It’s closer now. The glasses and the helmet hide the face, but I'd know those red curls anywhere. It’s Mary Velleca! I’ve heard she makes hearts turn tailspins. She’s landing at the airport now; I think I’ll peep inside. There at one of the desks is of all people, Arnold Dryer. I wouldn’t know him with the cigar and oh, see the lovely wave m his hair. There’s a sign in the distance. It reads “Home for Spinsters.” On the porch rocking back and forth — Oh this is too much It’s Maizie Matroni and she’s busy knitt'ng. The scene now changes to one of gaiety It’s is a large hotel in New York and Rosaline Ma turi is reigning as hostess. A school now. and in one of the sunny rooms is Carmelina Formisano teaching students the long and short of shorthand. Now an array of cream, bottles and instruments. It’s a beauty parlor and deftly wielding the comb and lotion is Lucy Cassano. I find myself in Europe again. It’s England this time. Through the fog I see Shirley Smith —you’re late Shirley, the coronation’s over. Shirley spent her life traveling. I hope she didn’t miss Westminster Abbey. What’s this? There sits William Doran behind a mahogany desk with a cigar protruding from his lips, and talking to a group of men in front of him. I look to the door as someone enters and what do you think I see on it? William Doran, President. Amalgamated Steel Corporation. As this picture disappears, another comes to take its place. Why it’s another very close friend, Vernon (iray. There is a roar of a motor of some kind and I see it is an airplane on the wing and Vernon in the pilot’s seat i see the airplane is the one which flies from New York to London. There is another classmate doing well for himself. This picture is gone in an instant but is immediately replaced by another and it is the image of Herman Kempli. standing before a group of men. It must be a board of directors meeting and Herman the chairman. It must be important so I will look again and see what Clarence King is doing. What’s this? Still on Bay View avenue, but King’s Greenhouse has changed. Yes, they are about four times larger than when I saw then, last. Clarence is the leading florist for mile., around. And as the picture fades I can see Clarence puttering around in one of the boxes although he doesn’t need to because of his several assistants. Next I see Francis Luther surveying his two thousand acre farm with field glasses, while he sips his morning cofifee on the sunporch of his magnificent mansion. He has changed. He seems to be getting fatter, but by his hard work he has been able to sit back and be a gentleman farmer for the rest of his life. This view fades and : can hear music and sec a spotlight on an orchestra. It is Arthur Manchester leading a nationally famous orchestra in a fashionable New York night club. At this moment he is playing a solo on his famous sax aphone. As the spotlight dies away another picture comes into view. It is Amello Parisi with a baseball suit on and across the front written, “Yankee.” He winds up for a pitch and as the ball is half way down toward the batter, the picture fades out. I read by the paper that he is making twenty thousand dollars a year. Another face appears and it is Frank Russo in a butcher shop and by the sign out in front of the store we see it is his own store He looks very prosperous and need not worry for the future. As this picture fades into the distance I see George Sousa signing a few contracts and at the same time issuing orders to his road manager and his assistants. I look at the heading on the stationery and see G. Sousa, Construction Company, and as this picture fades I see another Sousa. It is John, in the dairy barn milking a cow, and I see by the name on the milk bottle that he owns his own dairy. This picture rapidly disappears and a GREEN dMndl WD10ITE- 24
