BLUE AND GOLD Golden McNicoll comes unto the screen bathed in tears rhich are floving freely for her dead hus- band. He tried to feed a canary bird and the poor thing bit him r here upon he died of shock. The scene is shifted again, and I find mysolf looking at a banquet. To the left of a very charm- ing hostess I see a very handsome gentleman. I do not recognize him but I hear it whispered about that it is Edward Schlatter. Mercury has had his face lifted and is nor one of the rorldfs great- est lovers. In ranid succession the faces of Irene Buffer, Sanford Nofziger and Maurice Miller pass before me. Irene is announced as the logical successor of Florence Nightingale. Sanford Nofziger hold me spellbound for tv.o hours rith interpretation of Shakespeare. Maurice came on the screen just two jumps ahead of a rival gangster’s gun fire. Maurice is nor knom as Guss House Gussie. My next viar is of a French liner docking in Ner York. Opal Rupp is just back from Paris rhere she posed as a cloak model. L blast of trumpets announces that Vivian Eash has ron the rorld’s championship in speed typing. Trelvo hours practice daily ibr thirty-nine years gained the honor for her. A husky looking gentleman rith blond hair comes before mo. I have no difficulty in recogniz- ing Daryl Frey rho is leading the Socialist party. Olley Laubor appears in the role of a success- ful broker seatefi behind his desk in Eckley. I smile and sadly pull the lever. The screen becomes dork. I hear a slight noise behind me. Turning s uddonly,bumping my head on the side of my padded cell. It is the keeper v.ith my supper.

BLUE AND GOLD CLASS PROPHECY Airplanes are roaring overhead. The noise of the thundering elevated is deafening. On every side are white skyscrapers. Blue and green shadows flit alternately over the gleaming fronts of the buildings. Sirens of thousand horse power cars screech like tortured things. The time is twilight; the year 1982. I think back fifty years--half a century. I wander what my old classmates of Archbold High School are do- ing. Stepping over to a black box in the corner of the room I pull a lever which produces a soft whir and a silver screen is illuminated. At first it is dim and then a haze envelopes it from which figures slowly emerge. I see the world before me shifting, ever changing. Here and there I see a familiar face. They--they are my old classmates. They seem older but I can still recognize them. Now a circus flashes before me. I see its own- er who is very conspicuous in his checkered -suit. Ah, it is my old classmate, Earl Roth. He is tell- ing the crowd of the beautiful maid who is to per- form for then. But here she comes • It is Helen Dimke respendent in the trappings of a bare-back rider. And now an announcer comes on the screen to tell me that John William Winzeler, great scient- ist with General Electric, was injured while ana - lyzing a stick of dynamite. His attorney, Ralph Short, is suing the company. General Electric's lawyer,Stanley Rupp,is determined that Ralph rihall not get a cent. Salt Lai© City rushes unto the screen and I see Levi Rupp, who has now become s. great Mormon eldor, supporting nine wives. The great Amiri can home gets its share of fame with Beverly Bacon in the ever popular role of housewife .
