Prophecy for the Class of E145 The welcoming committee is composed of four of the rising stars of the cinema heavens: MARY LOU WALLACE, LORETTA WHITTON, WILMA SON, and DELORES HUTCHISON. Next we are greeted by NOR- MAN SIMMONS, executive of the Simmons Sympathetic Soap Co., and his six secretaries, MARIAN EGNER, DOROTHY JOHNSTON, MAXINE BAKER, BARBARA BENNETT, LUCILLE COTTEN, and VIRGINIA BEAN. Reporting this great event is MARTHA ANN NICHOLS, editor, reporter, copy boy and typesetter of the Lunar Star. Owner of this great syndicate is RALPH TOLER, multi- millionaire. We move on to the spacious auditorium, built by the Moonites in commemoration of ERVIN ENKE, the famous engineer who spent his years filling the craters on the moon. We hear SYLVIA CHAPMAN did the paint- ings on the walls of this great building. Here we meet the other members of the illustrious class of '46, Glancing at that row over there, we see: JIM CRIDER, coach of the Maids basketball teamg MARGARET SIEGGEN, now starring in Carmen, DOROTHY RODE, ROSE STAVE, and ANNA MARIE WARREN, teachers of physical education to Saternitesg LAWRENCE BROCKMEIER, professor of psychology at Sing-Sing, and BETTY PERRY, bass fiddle player in Phil Spitalny,s All Boy Orchestra. And-are we seeing double? Has the trip been too much for us? No, it's just the SUL- LIVAN twins, PAT and PEGGY, now home economics teachers at Harvard. And here's JOE JAKOBE-acrobat extraordinaire. We see a group of college boys in a corner. Their names? They're BOB HUMPHREY, DON RIDDELL. WAYNE SMITH, and WIN- FRED THURMAN. Yes. they're still going to college! Entertainment for the magnificent event consists of talent from Broadway's famed Rockettcs: DELORES LEE, SARA LAY- COCK, MARIE BALES, SUE ADAMS, RUTH BREEDLOVE, EVELYN WHITNEY, BETTY WEST, BETTY GARDNER, PEGGY HECTOR, and VIRGINIA OLDHAM. The master of ceremonies, who is, by the way, our own LEO McCORMICK, next introduces ANGELE KLEPPER and her songbirds: ELIZABETH SHOEMAKER, BETTY COVEY, ELIZABETH KROPF, and VIR- GINIA MERIDETH. Next on the program is some of that won- derful Barber-shop harmony from that famous quartette composed of BILL CRAMER, BOB NEIGHBORS, CHARLES NORMAN, and DALE SLOAN. Remember Linda Darnell? Well, our own MARYANN WILLIAMS re- minds us of her, and that famous MARY ANN CHAROS and BEVERLY FAIN have teamed up into a modern Dolly Sisters rou- tine. The second row is completely filled with the members of Vassar,s All-American Foot- ball Squad: LOUIS BREWER, JOE BUT- TON, BRYCE COPENHAVER, MANFORD DE NOYER, GENE FEAGLES, EARL LAWLESS, TOMMY NASH, STANLEY MATHEWS, RAYMOND LORD, LOUIS LUX, GEORGE MCEVOY, and LOUIS LEF- FINGWELL, captain. Coach of this great team is our husky BOB WHITTINGTON. Ah, but a glance at the new All-Hemis- phere Clock, invented by CHARLES RUS- SELL, shows us we have little time left. So we hop back to our space ship and come down to earth. W o o : Psa Z W w N Q Success to the Class of '4E! Q t

At a meeting of the Senior Class of 1946, a resolution was unanimously carried to hold a reunion on the moon, June 4, 1966, twenty years after graduation. The purpose, to talk over old times and memories and to see what mark their classmates had made in the world. Riding in this streamlined space ship de- signed hy BOB JONES and CHARLES ROB- BINS and built hy HOWARD NEBEL, we find ardent testimony of the achievements of the Class of '46. Interior decorators of this magnificent ship were MCCARTHY and CHAMBON, Inc., the latest word in architec- ture. And speaking of art, those murals on the walls are reminiscent of those hy Salva- dor Dali, but we hear they were done by none other than FRANK 0'CONNELL, Surrealist. There's JOANN LEEPER, our congenial hostess for our Sentimental Journey through space, assisting SHIRLEY MCLAIN, Broad- way's famed character actress. GEORGE TICE, the steward, has made all preparations, so with a burst of rockets and a swisll of air, our rocket ship leaves this planet and we are headed for the moon. We sink hack in our comfortable seats and gaze around us at the other passengers. We are amazed to find so many familiar faces. There in the front seat are FLORENCE and DELORES NELSON, models of identical futuristic gowns, designed hy MAUDIE COX. In hack of them we see a group of ardent ad- mirers around WAVERLY ROSE, the Ty- rone Power of the sixties. And there's HILDA KAMM, president of the First National Bank. Look who's across from us! lt's the EMERY BROTHERS, co-owners of the Food Pill Bar. My, hut they look nice in their white aprons and black how ties. By the way, there's MAURICE THURLO, the Ray Milland of the day. 20 Prophecy for the Blass of lllllli There go ,IUANITA DILLARIJ and JOAN JOHN, debutantes, walking down thc aisle. Whois that following them? Oh, it's RAY DICKSON and RAY IVIUELLER, presidents of the Super Wolf Bureau on their way to Venus in search of material for a hest seller. Letis push this button at our elhows. The beautiful music of a concert piano fills the compartment and we recognize the figure of BEVERLY SEIFF on the television screen before us. The program is relayed hy PEGGY LOPER, announcer for H U B A radio and television station, broadcasting from Venus. THELIVIA IVICCOWN then sings a commercial for RALPH TULEEN AND CO., manufac- turers of the hest H201 on the market today. Next we hear the voice of NORIVIA JEAN PIERCE, soap hox orator, campaigning for the 'fGive America Back to the Indians club. The program ends with lilting music of BUCK McCRORY's Venusites-the hottest band this side of Pluto. Making our way to the cockpit, we discover BOB STARK, the pilot, teaching OLIVE WARNER the rudiments of flying a space ship. EUGENE STARK, the able co-pilot, and LEONARD PARKS, the radio man, are en- gaged in a discussion of atomic energy. Whatis that flying past the window? Itis DICK DeSHAZER, equipped with jet pro- pulsion, selling peanuts and popcorn, made at BARBARA CHILDRESS' Delicatessen, to space travellers. Our arrival at the moon was announced hy BILL COX, safety pin tycoon, and heralded by a fanfare from the trumpet of BILL HY- LAND, who has stepped into Harry James' shoes without Grable. HOYT SHIELDS reads an inspiring poem he composed on our flight. We are prepared for landing, and in a flash we find ourselves stepping into the cold atmosphere of the moon.
