any bones. When they get there Jack is surprised to find another one of his classmates, Irene McGuire, who is superintendent at the hospital. As it turns out the little boy's name is Willard Liggett, Jr., who is the son of our friends, Willard and Ruth Uleedl Liggett. On his way back from the hospital Jack stops at the high school. Upon arriving he finds that the students are on their way to the auditorium for an entertaining program. The pro- gram ig opened by Mr. James Parcell, the new principal. The speaker is Lucille Lennex, a representative of the Dipsy-Doodle Circus. Miss Lennex is featured as the world's greatest lion- tamer. Before the assemble was dismissed, Mr. Parcell announced that the tickets for the Uhrichsville-Dennison basketball game would be on sale and tha students could purchase them from Miss Lois Jane Trim er, his private secretary. While walking down Grant Street he sees no other than Charles Bonifay who is painting the 1955 basketball schedule on the side of the old McCaw drug store building, but now the propri0t0T of the drug store is Paul Porter. He has enlarged the store so that the stock even includes candy bars. The stream- lined clerks are Marjorie Arnold, Norma Hathaway, Donna Jean Kiste, and Rose Alfano. The shock has been very great so Jack decides he had better be on his way and once again we find him ln the clouds. The next stop, Chicago proves to be interesting. This stop is made nec- essary as the pilot Don Sterling must have the plane repaired. The first person he sees is Arthur Vought. Arthur came to Chicago to make a success and today he is president of the Gar- bage Drivers of America. The Vice President is George Paige. And there's Lee Truney getting his photographs for Esquire Mag- azine. At Navy pier we find Admiral Bill Greer and General Jim Elliott who are discussing the new tactics on playing tiddley- winks. Ora Bloom has been in Chicago also. She has been kept quite busy keeping track of her three children and her sailor husband. The next stop is Salt Lake City where we find Martha B own- field and Nellie Chadd running the All-Inn, the city's largest hotel. In the middle of the business district we find the Super- Duper Food Market owned and managed by Wilma Garbrandt. Her win- dow decorator is Ruth Milhorn. As Jack has a few extra hours to spend in the city he decides to visit the library.' There he sees Teresa Caputo, who is now secretary to Mr. Van Bunion, president of the firm that makes the painless corn pads. They see a book written by Lo An White ILo1s Anne Whitaker to usl. The title of the book is 'Departed With The Breeze. Jeanne Huff and Kathryn Lennex are working at the informa- tion boothe at the Fly-Hi Airport. The last stop is Hollywood!! Jack is greeted by Rowena Max- well who is now a novelty attraction at Ciro's. She is a com- bination singer and cigarette girl. Upon reading a newspaper we are amazed when we read that Jo Wells fthe latest paste-up girll is co-starring with Rudy Menl- pace in 'The Buzzards of Gorey Gulch. The picture features the newly discovered singer, Jo Hunter. A most overwhelming shock is Ruthie Stoffer as the Dean of the B siness Schools and ---- her specialized course in 'How to Make a Hit with the Boss.' Jack feels a slight pain. It must be indigestion. No, ith only Jim Deeslie telling him it's already 6:30 and supper is over. When he realizes his stupidness he says, 'It's only a dream, I hope1! 20

CLASS 'PROPHY CY JACK'S DREAM It was one of those bright sunny days when the gentle wind was blowing through the trees. Jack Gatchell was in his after- noon study hall trying to concentrate on his final examinations when all at once his head dropped on his arm and in almost no time at all he was fast asleep. There was a smile on his face and everyone knew that he was dreaming. Even Mr. McCartney could not make himself disturb Jack's peaceful slumber. Just then a strange thing happened. The room became dark, and above Jack's head a cloud formed and on this clqud was pro- jected his dream. Suddenly everyone and everything was moved mysteriously into the future. It is now 1954 and Jack, who has just been made the Pennsylvania Railroad' youngest president, is about to take an airplane trip from New York to San Franscisco in order to view the railroad situation. Since this is the first time that Jack has ever been to New York, he has decided to see some of the city before starting on' his trip. We see him now at Radio City and whom does he meet but that noted radio commentator, Bob Downey. Bob and Jack graduated together back in 1944 and this is the first time they have seen each other since. There are some more D.H.S. students who are in Radio City and Bob asks Jack if he would like to visit some of them. Of course, Jack says he would, so they start with Jimmie Herron, that famous dru mer. Jim and his band have been in Radio City for about two years now and in that time he has become quite well known. The three of them, Jack,Boq and Jim go to lunch at the Eatmore Cafe where they see Wilda Mae Stratton, the Metropolitan Opera Star, her manager, Adrian Robinson, and Mademoiselle d'Co1ffure KPeg Shiversj who were dis- cussing some hair styles that Peg was creating for Wilda Mae. Then, though we don't know just how it happened, but you know how dreams are, Jack was up in his airplane starting on his trip. As the plane was delayed for 3 few hours at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jack had a little time to look over the city and to see some of the office buildings. He was very much surprised when he saw Haoma Wise coming from work. She is now private sec- retary to Baldy, Baldy, and Ihldy, the firm that manufactures hair tonic. Naoma tells him that she is engaged to the second Mr. Baldy and that she expects to be married in June. To put in some time, he decides to visit a radio program. when he reaches the studio, Bernadine Bower is just about ready to start her program, presenting her symphony orchestra featuring Miss Eileen Russell and her French horn. The program is sponsor- ed by the Koffless Kough Syrup Kompany. Their announcer is none other than our old friend Francis Bente. Jack surely is surpris- ed, and because he has seen so many of his old school pals he de- cides to stop off at his home town, Dennison, to see what some of his other friends are doing. He wants to see what Denn1son's new airport looks like anyway. He bids his friends in Pittsburgh good-bye and once again he is up in his plane. As he comes near Dennison he becomes very excited. Upon landing he rushes out to see Dick Brandon who is now an engineer for the railroad. This has always been D1ck's ambition and he and Jack remember how they used to work together when they were in high school. Just then they heal' 8 15-N919 boy Scream from across the street. He has fallen off his bicycle and Jack and Dick help to get him in a car to take him out to the Twin City Hospital to see if he has broken 19
