Twenty Years After JUST A DREAM Broadway's neon lights gleamed hazily through the misty rain. Cressy Kingery, his umbrella half shielding his face, stepped under an overhanging theatre marquee, where there stood a lone man gazing out through the rain between the folds of his raincoat. Kingery stood there for a few seconds, little rivulets of water running down the seams of his umbrella and dripping upon his shoes: then he raised his eyes to behold the countenance of his companion under the marquee-Leo Hill. Why, if it isn't Leo, the lion tamer, of Bob Edmiston's Extra-collossal Exhibitions! Hy there, Professor Kingery. How's your l96l paleontology class? Just a little boring after fifteen years. l've often wondered how our other l94l classmates are bearing up in their life's work, Leo. By now the rain had almost assumed downpour proportions, and every now and then a blast of thunder accentuated their words. I've heard that Shirley Jean Ward is a government spy, Leo began, in Pozatskia, the model government of Shirley Day and Holger Henderson. Moe Louis, you know, has finally been kayoed by Cedric Totten, whose trainer, Howard Myers, afterwards lost half their fortune to card shark Bill Pile. Last month Marian Nelson, chief contractor for the Pevehouse Construction Com- pany, persuaded Ida Jane to introduce a new type of house construction with the chimney at the bottom. The Alaska Banana Market has been cornered by high pressure saleswomen Patty Jones and Violet Hartis, and George Rice has taught Gene Spear to ice skate. Bob Broadhead, Betty Butterfield, and Bob Belcher are in business manufacturing B. B. shot for use in George Glea- son's guns. There seems to be quite a number of neon advertisements for our class- mates of '4l, broke in Cressy, pointing down the city's Great White Way. That one across the street is for class president John Todd's orchestra, featur- ing Kay Spoelstra playing the cymbals, and the Four Discords-Betty Jo Gardner, Margaret Robuck, Maxine Wilson, and Ruth Voss. Down the street are Madeline Burke's beauty shop, John Alf's science-Hction publishing com- pany, editor-in-chiefed by Velma June Clark, and Louis Broadhead's pawn shop. That surrealistic sign over Vernon Immroth's Fun House was designed by Al Krassman and Earl Hunter, they say. Look at that flashing light- there, in the window under Mary Thompson's penthouse-that's from Bill Walmsley's artist studio, where he's using Frances Flores' Florescent light which burns only half the time. It sometimes makes me wonder why psycholo- gists like Waynne Mertz dont' go insane. Why, only yesterday, my profes- sional assistants, Hazel Harrington and Yolanda Micalone, told me Charles Quillen, whose advice-to-the-love-lorn column is read daily by thousands, had sent spies to our classes to discover how Neolithic man and Frank Wood com- Page Twenty-n n

Zin !J1Elemnriz1m Ray was taken from our midst on February 1, 1941. He was a member of the Pnyx Society. Hi-Y, and the Science Club. He played in the Band and Orchestra and during his last year was enrolled in the ROTC. He was an honor- able citizen of our school and popular among his classmates. The memory of him will for- ever dwell in our hearts. I hear a voice you cannot hear, Which says I must not stay, I see a hand you cannot see, Which beckons me away.

pared as wooers. That reminds meg golf caddy Donald Ruegg has developed an afternoon tee which society women like Inez Storer and Clara Mae Place use almost exclusively. Clinton Comerford's Cranky Canine Catchers, Inc., does a thriving busi- ness, with net-men Gerald Crank and Russell Kerr doing the Great Danes. Melvin Breetwor is classy chauffeur to dishwasher Betty Jean Graham, who works at Mary Jean Jones' Cafeteria. Coilfurist Kenny Baird designs the nation's hair-do with Billy Kerley's Curling-iron, using William Carlson, who has let his hair grow for his concert pianist job, as a model. Marjorie Crews and Rosemary Tschmelitsch produce 1,792 dolls per day at their nine- acre doll factory, where Rex Tatman is general handyman. Eugene Voris is a plumber. Leo laughed. And you were the one who wanted to know about our classmates! But you haven't mentioned Jack O'Brien's ALittle Whizzer' auto factory, or Carrie Jo Adams' giraffe hospital, or even Ethel Goodman's Lunacy Laboratory, where Pat Ducy studies licorice composition. David Houston, too, is a professional man, doctoring pelican pouches, while Elaine Brifey is a painless dentist. Grace Archires, Margaret Osterhout, Betty Lou Norris, and Geraldine Climenson have organized a society for the study of lobate Podici- pedidae grebes and tyrannidae. Some of the '41-ers' do strange things, too. Foreign correspondent Walter Melvin's hobby is collecting cocoanuts to send back home to his wife and kiddies. In South Africa, Joe Cortese and Ivan Hankla have found the Hrst real pink elephant, which Phyllis Dalley brought home for them. Shirley Fishencord and Vera White are circus trapeze artists, and Orlando Gallegos is a circus clown. Working for the Bally-hoo Ballet, Ltd., are twin charmers Pat Colip and Margie Clawson, whose Choreographer is Louis Butler. Ossie Stark is a grand opera composer, and Victor Eognani, famous tenor, sings his lyrics. Bill Jehle, Donald Hurst, and engineer Jack Garrett took a rocket trip to the moon and there developed a new type of moonshine. On his dusty Okla- homa farm, Charles Gibson opertaes a pineapple juice well where tired travelers like Jennie Hatch, Marie Davison, and Dorothy Friedenberger often take a nip. The air waves, too, have been invaded. Bob Schade gives recipes over the radio every morning, Luie Lee Mosbarger and Adaline Massaro play a daily sob serial, and Betty Jean Longfield sings cowboy ballads. Prom Dick Kettering's station in Del Rio, Texas, Ralph Holder and Charles Lamb adver- tise their patent divining rods while radio engineer Nobuo Ouye keeps the kilocycles. Norman Winters is now announcing the featured contest pro- gram on which Bernice Pepper, Leona Johnson, Josephine Hart, Cecilia Salvage. and Irene Kiniry are vying to see which can hold her breath the longest. At this point a young woman, her arms full of packages, stepped out of the theatre, bumped into Leo, dropped two of the packages into a puddle and two more on Cressey, and had opened her lips toi start a tirade against the two. when suddenly a look of recognition came into her eyes. HWhy, it's Leo and Cresyl Do you know, Bob Cash's latest picture here is just a scream! Pauline de Mordaunt began as the two stooped to pick up the packages. It's so funny the man sitting next to me, Ralph Bachman, knocked my hat off twice into Jack Aronofsky's lap in the row behind, and the heroine, Mary Agnes Beck-the way she threw Lois Jean King around simply slayed me!
