tina. Another distinguished person is that outspoken Nebraska Con-- gressman, Eldon F. Jagger, who won prominence with his now fam- ous slogan UAMERICANS FOR AMERICA. Also, here is a general of the U. S. Army, Richard Cargmoney and two army nurses, Evelyn Howell and Imogene Hummels. Avis Sines, the owner of SINES NEON SINES, is standing over there with Wilma Messinger, the owner of MESSlNGER'S FLOWER MESSAGES. Alice Traphagan and Marguerite Neiman are Miss Messinger's two floral assistants. Another famous personage is Glen Baker, talented movie direc- tor with Velma Sullivan, his re- search librarian. We also have a representative of Stephens College with us. She is Maxine Froba, personnel direc- tor. She is conversing with Jean Witham, famous for her doll museum. If you are a man of travel you might like to converse with a zepher hostess, Jeanne Richman. If you are a private in the U. S. Army here are two army hos- tesses, Mae Hanke and Eleanor Miller, to entertain you. Now we take our leave of the honorable class of '42 as they sit down at their banquet table. But we shall see them now and again as they go MARCHING ON TO VICTORY!

of the all-girl orchestra broad- casting on the HOUR OF CHARM radio program, Betty Barrett and Melissa McBrien. Just arriving now are Messers Alvin and Donald Teel of the world's largest firm, TEEL'S PLOS- TIC FURNITURE INCORPORAT- ED. With them are their private secretaries, Alice Shepherd and Verna Schroeder, and their inter- ior decorator, Vivian Fidler. Now we see some McCook- not students but-teachers. Velma Roth is the music supervisor, Dar- lene Frank and Evelyn Knosp are the science and household arts instructors at the new high school. Talking to them is Leigh Ganzel, editor of the T.R. Y. WEEKLY. Oh! Yes! Here is that novelist, Robert Rishel, Nobel prize winner of three successive years. With him is Lady Furness, the former Virginia Appleyard. Dorothy God- win, who assists him with his copy, is also here. Now everyone is turning to greet those two famed chemists, Dr. Brehm and Dr. Antrim, who have just discovered the 95th element. Fame is still behind them for her are Jeane Dack, mural painter, and Mary Swanson, edit- orial writer. Hmmm! Do you hear sirens? Surely the police wouldn't raid a banquet!! But they ARE stopping. All eyes are glued on the door as three motorcycle patrolmen, Roger Brown, Ted Kinsmen and Chet Balius enter. But who is that woman with them? She seems to have a message. Why, it seems that the guest of honor, the presi- dent of the United States, John Carlson, is unable to attend. Ap- parently there is some business about Mexico's wanting to be an- nexed by the United States. The president is leaving for Mexico at once. Leaving with him is the United States Ambassador to Mexico, Glen Underhill. Now we understand who the lady that brought the message is. In case you're still wondering, her name is Mary Louise Lofenborg and she is the president's private secretary. Well, the banquet must go on anyway. If you will turn to your left a little you will see two real missionaries. One from China, Juanita Walton, and one from ln- dia, Jane McCurdy. Over on your right are two librarians employed at the public library in New York City: Violet Davis and Reta Steckmeyer. That stately gentleman who seems to be the center of attention among the scientists is the famed lecturer on animals, Dr. Yule Dor- wart. At the moment a heated discussion is waving back and forth between Dr. Brenning and Dr. Dorwart. It seems that Dr. Dorwart does not believe that BRENNING'S VITAMINS X, Y, and Z are essiential to healthy animals Be that as it may, there is one person who believes in the miracles of Brenning's vitamins and that is Miss Betty Dutton, that golden voiced food specialist who broadcasts the supernatural ef- fects of vitamins X,YandZ each week to the homes of America. In case you are interested in explorers, here is one. He is none other than the famed Arctic ex- plorer, Alex Campbell. With him on his latest exploration was Bill Rouch, Junior Trehal and Harold Wagner. Over there is the renowned founder of that national organiza- tion, HOLLIDAY LIGHTS. Talk- ing to her is Queen Snowden of delicatessen fame who always ends her advertisements with cakes as light as down. Next we turn to Virgil Schilz who, for the past ten years, has made a living from his SCHILZ PILZ FOR MALARIA. Conversing with him is Gladys Vaughn, the Home Demonstrator of Red Willow County. Of course you can not help noticing those two QUEENS OF THE COIFFURE, Selma Jean Baird and Virginia DeForest. With them is Mary Gochis, the ELEA- NOR POWELL of today. Now, let me show you a foreign minister. He is Howard V. Best who has just returned from Argen-
