Tim Burr Looks into the Future It is a well-known fact that Tim Burr not only locks into the past but also into the future. His mind had been idly wandering over the coming years. When he reached 1965 such large obstacles loomed in his meditative path tha' his wanderings came to an abrupt end. Indeed, poor Tim was quite startled by what had been revealed to him. It is doubtful if he will ever be the same again. Because we think you would be interested in his thoughts, we have decided to let you have a glimpse of Tim’s vision. The vision opens in the Heinz Manufacturing Company where Roger Clifford is cheerfully posing for the picture on the labels of Heinz Tomatoes. Also in the line of modeling Tim finds Hazel Carlin directing Harry Conover’s famous school. The scene changes to Eleanor Amidon’s home w'here Tim sees Mabel Jensen, Virginia Skinner and Eleanor discussing the eternal problem of how to make their husbands use the ash trays. Turning on the radio to hear Mert Rasmussen and his world-renow'ned Hungry Five they were disappointed to hear the newest commercial, Casco, Casco, the dogs all love it so — Feed your dog some Casco — C-A-S-C-O,” sung (?) by Carolyn Packard. Switching to station K-O-R-N, they heard Gladys Wolbrink in the day time favorite, John's Other Mothcr-in-Law.” Tim then sees beautiful green fields coming into view. Yes, it is the co-operative farm of Calvin Anderson, Jack and Bob Van Hoose. As his mind wanders westward, Tim finds himself at Nina Johnson and Bettie Denman’s Dude Ranch. Nice business they have there, thinks Tim. Not far from the Ranch, Tim finds Lenore Muns raising chickens on her quiet little farm. A vision of a stage flashes across Tim’s mind. What is this — Jack the Giant Killer?” Suddenly Tim understands. It is Wayne Peterson playing the giant in a midget show'. A newspaper dated 1965 appears in Tim's vision. It is edited by Beverly Rowe with Marie LeFevre as her right hand woman. Tim discovers by this newspaper that Lyle Chapman, the famous lecturer on national and international affairs, will speak at the Greenville High School auditorium on the twelfth of May. While he is reading the paper he turns to his favorite comic strip, Dora McCoodle,” drawn by the eminent cartoonist Beatrice Tiffany. Tim also finds from the paper that Unis McGee’s latest painting is rated as the painting of the year by art critics. Glancing thru the classified ads Tim sees an ad announcing tryouts for the chorus line at the Stork Club. Flying there on the wings of thought whom should we see but this collection of pulchritude from the class of '45: Jeanette Cory, Agnes Kildegaard, Frances Larsen, Kay Lincoln, Helen Peterman. Jeanne Bierly, Joyce Mat-son, Betty Perkins and Edith Johnson. It is Bud Taylor’s interesting job as manager of the Stork Club to choose the chorus. With him is his star attraction, E. Edward Blumberg, the wrorld renowned soft-shoe dancer. Tim catches a glimpse of glistening arid deserts. What’s this? Oh, it’s a Meatro Goldon Mare Company on location for the Perils of Turpentine.” The stars are members of the class of ’45. Shirley Bland- f r r r r r r f i t i t i i

Tim Burr Looks into the Future ing is the courageous heroine. Lavcrne Wulf is the blushing hero. Mary Simpson is the other woman. Because he felt that his mind was becoming exhausted, Tim Burr had to glance hurriedly over the rest of the class cf ’45. This is what he saw: Harold Olsen is raising peachless pits. Maxine Thomas and Nellie Pruitt’s Lonely Hearts Club is flourishing. Charles Wood is Professor of Physics at Allenville University where the man of the town is Dick Allen. Carolyn Watson and Charlene Bailes are reaping the profits from their Bailes and Watson Wigs Company. Ruth Snyder is running a heme for the low-grade morons Mr. Robinson was always talking about. Marvin Schutts is diverting his energy to produce a good formula for making synthetic banana peels. Max Guenther is standing on top of the Empire State Building voicing his opinions on Russia. Maxine Brown is settled down as a Pharmacist’s mate. Jim Wheeler and Bob Christensen are manufacturers of noiseless school bells. Marcia Richmond is sitting in a sidewalk cafe on Champ Elysses in Paris painting portraits. Arden Christensen is raising a new kind of sheep yielding 100 per cent more wool and 50 per cent less feed. Ray Vos is chief of the Podunk fire department. But what is he doing? Shoveling smoke!! Harley Bowser and Dick Prevette are still team mates on the Seven Eleven, a prominent football squad. John O’Connor and Bob Hansen constitute a pitcher-catcher combination that is quite a threat to the last years pennant winners. Gale Fuller, after his experience as Chief-of-Police, is a natural to clean up Chicago. Ruth and Eileen have a money-maker in Nelson’s All Night Beanery. Hank Jensen is making reversible umbrellas. Charlotte Sprague is selling artificial sunshine which she makes with her smile. Barbara Wiersma, with all her experience as a secretary, is keeping a record or orphan canaries. After his mental workout Tim fell into a state of semi-consciousness from which he never fully recovered.
