Here it is, the year 1972, and We see Mr. Conley dropping in to pick up Mr. Lightner to take him for a buzz in his atomic-powered flying saucer, to check the class of 1952! As they pass over the corner of Perth and Metropolitan, they see Ray Takemoto enjoying himself in the back seat of his 1972 Cadillac, being chauffeured by Sharon Garlin who is in turn having a drag race with Duwaine Branch, who is still driving his hopped-up '41 Plymouth convertible Out of nowhere appears Shirley Ljunggren on her atomi- , K .

San Diego School 1, 2 Operetta 3, 4 Crash! A collision! It seems Verna. Wren is still the same careless driver as always. Well, it seems there are no more graduates left in S'moreg so as they fly southward, they hesitate a moment in Los Angeles. It seems Carol Fillmore's dream has come true. She has a full time job in the Ringling Bros.' circus. She plays the part of a Chinese dancer. And farther on they see Ann Smith as the fat lady and 8' 4 David Baker. My, how times have changed! As they leave Los Angeles, they glide over Tiajuana noticing Eddie Zinn peddling sombreros and Gwen Wilkinson and Margaret Jones running a tamale stand. When flash! Down' the street comes Ronnie Humphrey running the 22 mile jet relay. He's in the lead. Now, across the Gulf to Miami, Florida-there we see Glenda March lazing in the warm sun being watched by her faithful husband. Joe Wallace. My, what a small world. It seems Eddie and Phyllis Reid have settled right next door to Glenda and Joe. They are in the business of putting out jet-propelled automobiles with Bob Bradley and Sons, Inc. Taking a glance up farther, they notice that Mickey Miller and Elwin Morey have just entered into business in a pawn shop on the corner of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania. And in the shop they see Jay Collier hocking his watch in order to get enough to buy Betty Thomp- son an engagement ring. Football 4 Track 3, 4 Farther north they buzz over New York. There they see Bill 5th in state Track Murdock as the elevator bay in the Empire State Building. Now, look Meet 3 at Ronnie Goings operating his telescope in Times Square. The sign on it reads 10c For a Quick Glance at Mars. What's the big attraction up there? It seems the two newly weds, Pat Burns and Everett t Q Hamilton, are having their honeymoon on Mars. . 1 9 ' Pl'-Vt-9 BAA' 18' sa Now a fast trip cross country to Paris, France. There is Sherryl GLENDA YVONNE MARCH She ulwayr make: 4 hir With her rlezfernen and wit.

There goes Lorraine Coney pulling Johnny Watkins and Dick Reed in a rickshaw down the honky-tonk streets of Hong Kong. Dick and Johnny are sailors in the Chinese Foreign Legion. All of a sudden they see on their atom-televisor, a rodeo coming in from Cheyenne, Wyoming. A few of the contestants are recognized. They take 9, quick trip to Cheyenne. As they approach the rodeo ground, they see Anne Cole coming out of the chutes riding 9. saddle bronc. After that event whom do they see? None other than Mary Jean Haberman and Sharon Speck team-roping. It seems that Women are the most popular contestants now-a-days. Palm Springs is still THE resort center of America. Owning a few establishments there are Imogene and Bill McGowan fthe former Imogene Norris? and Jewell and Spike Adams iJewe1l Barkerl. In Washington they see Tommy Hirabayashi and Bonnie Black- wood as private secretaries to the President of the U. S. Of course, as we all know, our President is William Keck. On their return trip home they visit the Juke-Box-Jive-Drive-In in Charlottsville, Virginia, and wonder of wonders! there are Patty Huxtable and James Seay kicking out the Charleston. Playing for them in the 3-piece band are Antonia Reyes on the drums, Maxine Stephens at the piano, and Nadine Spuhler on the trumpet. We hope you have enjoyed the flying-saucer trip with Mr. Conley and Mr. Lightner. Their trip has been a successful one. -by Anne Cole and Sherryl Anderson Page 18
