Everybody set? We’re off, amid a rush of hot air. Now the time machine is bringing us down on Seventh and Hennepin in the Minneapolis of the future. We step down onto the moving sidewalk which carries us to the Cafe Exception.de. The electric eye opens the door and we are greeted with a big Hi! by Bernie Coleman, rotund and jolly owner of the world famous cafe. Sitting at the left in the Red and Blue Room, we see Ray Gammon, movie idol of a million American women, with the famous tennis star. Laurel Pawiak. As Vern Erickson, the great movie producer, enters, accompanied by his latest protege, Mavis Miller, the lights dim and the floor show begins. Wally Lauby and his now famous Krudwinklers strike up the catchy tune of the day, Beat me Ba-looch with a Baseball Bat, by Howie Knudtson. The popular dance team.

Comedian Orval Kock takes over now and renders a side splitting routine with the aid of his very able assistant, Norman Bale. The floor rolls back, revealing an ice skating rink, and Jeanne Peterson glides in wearing a costume of spun nylon. The program comes to an end as the Centralcttcs, Lauretta Chcvelier, Barbara Hill, Margie Harford, and Jacky Dow do their dance routine. Time to leave. Reaching into our pocket and discovering no folding money, we try to sneak out through the kitchen and to our amazement, there is Ruth Paquin sawing off a 1 J -inch T-bone steak. (Ration points no longer needed.) We get no further, for Johnny Ubcl and Leroy Nyhus, bouncers, arc upon us. As soon as they discover we’re without funds, we arc put to work washing dishes. Help comes soon in the forms of I.cnny Carter and Shirley Cannon, who have met the same fate as our own. JUNE CLASS DREAM • Hold on to your hats, kids! We’re off on a trip into the future. The time—19SS—the place—a class party held at Central. A big program has been planned, so stick around. Some definite changes arc evident around here— the addition of a fifth floor which contains a recreation room, soda fountain, and swimming pool. And better still, an escalator has been put in, so let's go in and sec what’s cookin’. Who’s this coming in the door? It’s Gen. Wally Dale (six star, no less) with Mrs. Dale (Jeanne Hultgren). Representing the press, here to write up the occasion, is Duane Andrews, Editor of the Star Journal Tribune and author of the best seller. The Scientific Approach in the Art of Lovemaking.” With him is the chief photographer of Life Magazine, Rosie Tkach. In the corner, Clem Hunter, youngest professor at Vassar, and Bob Lindquist, a big time construction engineer for the government, arc arguing about the price of beef in Italy. We are honored to have in our midst Gov. Frank Bruce, and those cinema favorites Eva Michalson and Tygable Clarkpower (formerly Butch Hart-wig). Eva and Butch have just finished a million dollar picture on the life of the famous Marine hero, Burt Johnson. Here comes Burt now with his vivacious little wife, Mickey (Finncrty). Let’s trot back stage and see some more of our old pals. There’s John Almen, television big shot, reviving some of his stage crew daze. Sitting at the piano arc Betty Sharp and 88 Keys” Baden. Both are top entertainers. Dancing to their piano doodling arc John Wilmot and Bev Bernath who manage an exclusive dancing salon in New York. Over yonder, we cast our optics on dancer Dot Haller who has just completed a personal appearance tour of all the South American countries. Taking it easy before the program is the M. C. for the evening, John Kleven, who has just taken over (Continued on page 48) 22

CENTRALIAN • The Centralian this year, due to wartime .shortages, had to be cut down in quantity but not in quality. Because of the uncertainty of having a year book, the members of the staff were not appointed until November, 1944, instead of the preceding June. As a result, the staff had to work overtime many hours to meet their deadline. The Centralian pictures had to be taken in January and February because of the necessity of the early printing date. The pep assembly for subscriptions was held on February 23. With the help of Mr. Robert Classon the staff has endeavored to give you a Centralian which is a credit to our school.

NEWS • For the first time in its history the Central High News was run by girl co-editors during the fall term. The News is a weekly paper published under the guidance of John E. Mulligan. The paper has always won awards, and this year was no exception. The staff of the fall term attended the Minnesota High School Press Association conference at the university where our paper won first place on the sports page, second place on the front page, and honorable mention on the editorial page. For two years the News has been sent all over the world to former Ccntralitcs now in the armed forces.
