3--:vu-H - - Qs , CLASS PROPHECY CLASS OF '48 REUNION IN 1960 AT THE GILDED OSTRICH CLUB Welcome to alll Welcome to the reunion of the class of '48 of Williard junior High School. Who would want a better setting than that play- boy's, The Gilded Ostrich Club, owned by that miracle man, Walter North? The place is reallyubeautiful. Aren't we lucky to be the first ones here? What is that we see on the purple and chartreuse walls? Why, they are original art creations by john Condon and Richard Turner. We all know they have stormed the art circles with their super guess what it is pictures. That blankwhite space is so easy on the eyes. We have just heard that all the interior decorating was the product of that genius of the interior decorating world, Claire Vedensky. Her ismotto, why not put bright colors together when l have an assistant like jean Gilbert to pass out sun glasses? A Am I mistaken or is that the magnificent orchestra of jimmy Rhodes? Look at him beating it out on the piano. We are also glad to see Keith Foise, the star clarinetist of the group. People are already beginning to arrive and Audrey Megerian, that darling little cigarette girl, has started to peddle her wares. My goodness! People are coming in so fast we can hardly keep track of them. Look over there! W'ho's that peeking in through the crack? Why it's that magician, Harold Sawyer. Hi - Harold! The doorman, Alfred-Harvey has just an- nounced the arrival of the Teeny Weeny Two, those sensational songstresses who have climbed the ladder of success so quickly. You've guessed it, they're none other than Gay- zelle Burks and Lucille Darkins. Sneaking in the side door trying to avoid pub- licity, is Michaele Agostini, chief electrician of the current musical hit, The Gayeties of Gerald- ine, produced by that stock market tycoon, Stanley Batten, and directed by the wonder of wonders, Scott Carey. lt is currently playing at the Bijou, which is owned by that admired busi- ness man, john Reed. As all the familiar people pour in, our minds 'Winder fora minute to faraway landsf Yes, We're thinking of Carol Christiansen, famous opera star, now appearing in Denmark. She sent her regards since she was too booked up to join us. . I hear that later in the evening Elyse Dukova -Dukatz to you-will perform one of her famous ballets for us and accompanying on the violin will be that girl of the strings, jule Kreutter. As we qlance over the menu, we see that we will have Chinese food creations prepared by those world famous chefs, Richard Louie and Peter Lew. My, it sounds good! We also notice that the famous soda fountain owner, Henry lwamoto, has brought some spin- ach ice cream with him for everyone's desert tonight. r We can't help but notice the lovely gowns that Ginger Williams, the creator of Vanishing Perfumes, Inc., and Mary Ellen Carr, professor of Spanish, are wearing. They are the marvel- ous, stupendous work of that fashion designer, David Coolbaugh. As we look across the room at a corner table, Linda Byrnes and Barbara Harris catch our eyes. Linda is famous for her july Christmas cards, which surprised everyone. Barbara is the one and only manager of the Wipe Away That Un- wanted l:'ace beauty salon in New York. My, time changes! Who could have guessed that j. Edgar Davis Cbetter known as Percyj, de- tained in Washington tonight, would become head of the P.B.l. in such a short time? Also that the famous furriers, who created the sensational What-Fur? coats, Dale Quella and George lnerbickler, could find time to fly all the way from Peru to be at our reunion? 4' Look! Can it be? Yes, there are those Arctic Explorers, Bob Harter and Phil Dimitriou, in from Alaska, by way of the patented Bill Foley six- sided canoe. They look so rustic in their white igloo styles. We certainly feel honored to have john Brown in our presence. Everyone is talking about his bout last week when he stole the title of Heavy- weight Champion ofthe World from joe Louis, jr. We notice that there is a slight breeze from above. No wonder, the roof is opening to let in Raymond Franklin and his airplane. The news has just come to us that Ray and his navigator, Linn Holmes, have made a record flight around the World. Good work, boys! We almost missed our chance before the roof closed to seghe beaug new planegput in the sky for this occasion by our astronomer-class- mate, Le Verne Garcia. The lights in the room are dimming and all eyes are turned to the stage, where Nancy johns, our Texas Songstress, will sing an original song by that current song-writer, joel Dyles. The name of the number is, Who Slapped Me In the Stomach With A Swordfish, l've Got Holes ln Me Now. CContinued on page 65

2 L PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE 'E Someone has called courtesy the hgppy Wcty of doing things. In a World where there is altogether too much selfishness and conflict, courtesy is more unusual than it should be. Traffic experts tell us that many of the traffic accidents, with their resulting loss of life and property, are due to violations of common courtesy. So also, many of the minor difficulties between persons are due to a lack of courtesy - a failure or unwillingness to consider the other fellow cmd his rights. Life is never so short but that there is always time for courtesy. H. N. MCCLELLAN PRESIDEN'l':S MESSAGE This term has been most successful due to the efforts of the students and faculty in backing up the different activities. 4 I have enjoyed being President very much and the officers of the Willard Student Body and I wish to extend our thanks to everyone who has helped make possible such a successful term. WALT NORTH . 7
