WORDS FROM THE WISE i.. .M A. . - One evening in eariy spring I consulted a prophetic owl. As he tucked me into his chain of friendship, he took me into his con- fidence and spoke cheeriiy of my friends at Argo High. 'The future of the Argonians is most astounding and especially promisingf, he sotemniy said, taking his wisdom glasses and very kindly permitting me to look through them while he explained the most amazing scenes. The First thing that met my eyes was the Figure of a stately governor, Harold Genesen, delivering a forceful speech praising Michael Lambert, candidate for president. Another speaker, also backing Michael Lambert, was the eloquent woman lawyer, Anne Knot. In every opening in the crowd a restless Figure jumped about, Tom Blackwell, the HBiond Zephyrf, not missing a single pose of the spealcers with his camera. Tomys assistant, Sophie Lonas, rushed into Arthur Durinslcifs printing oiigice and handed the prints to Paul Ganzar, manager. After in- spection Paut gave them to Ken Schomig to reproduce in the paper. Just then Jimmy Lecelc and Loretta Ferry, star reporters, dashed in with hot copy on the coming box- ing match. Another more penetrating iooic toward the platform brought me the star stenographer, Loretta Luchowslci, taking notes in the swiftest heirogiyphics. A short dis- l24J tance from her sat Beatrice Carlson, working remarkably fast on a stenotype machine. The scene changed to a broadcasting room in a radio station. Regime Szarabajlca at the microphone announced that the First number of the orchestra, under the direction of Warren Diiiberg, was dedicated to the fu- ture president. This treat was followed by an equally entertaining and original composition by the distinguished pianist, Lorraine Plos- zelc. When the broadcast was over, a come- dian, Lawrence Abeling, snapped to his belt an invisible ray, invented by Robert Feld- man, and began roaming about the spacious hotel. Snooping at the first door, Lawrence found a chemistry laboratory. He recognized the bearded blond, Gerhart Guclcel, a class- mate of 1957. Lawrence snapped oft his in- visible ray and dashed in with jovial greet- ings. He found Jerry and his assistant, Fior- ence Szczesny, perfecting a marvelous inven- tion -- iniiated hydrogen wings with which men would be able to Hy through the air with the greatest of ease. Next, after a brief chat, Lawrence found an interesting door with the inscription, Htieo Freund, president of the Extra Fancy Limburger Cheese Com- panyf, Lawrence did not stop for various reasons, and because he thought of the poli- tical meeting, he immediately hopped into an elevator operated by Cecelia Kueitzo. Much to his regret, the meeting was over, and as the last of the audience was filing out, he followed the crowd.

On Infomation Street he noticed a group of individuals congregated in front of a fish store. Lawrence came closer and heard Amelia Chicado, with all her graceful digni- ty, hallyhooing in a loud, sonorous voice, Use Glow Shampoo to malce your car grow longer! After purchasing a hottle f rom Amelia's cashier, Florence Brouwer, he wallced toward the edge of Happy Town, where he met Amelia going into a cozy hriclc hungalow to visit the former Estelle Homlco, now married to John Dames. They hoth went in and found Estelle crooning lul- lahies. When the childrens governess, Winny Blackwell, started to close a window, she discovered a hrolcen pane of glass and immediately called the janitor, Adam lcielc, to repair the damage. The coolc, Susie May Johnson, and the seamstress, Dorothy Rosel- lini waved goodnight ,from the lcitchen. After all was quiet, the radio was turned on.

Crowds cheered with enthusiasm. Louis, immediate family, his wife, Anne Ruegger, the former slcating champ of the US., and his salesman hrother- in-law, Teddy Kozalc, were seated in the front row with heaming and excited coun- tenances. Vxfalter Anderson, relueree, was to decide the victor, hut the radio tuhe hurned out, leaving us in a frenzy of curiosity and anxiety. Eager to hear the results, we ran next door to the heauty salon, where the operators, Elvira Barrett and Edith Enloe, were trying to heautilfy Miss Hater, the presi- dent of the young Womenys Voters, League, in preparation for her speech that afternoon. When the report came that the light was a draw, Miss Hater flew out lilce a gust of wind to inform Rosemary Duval, a nurse at a nearhy hospital, of her hoylriends luclc. After all the scenes were presented, the wisdom glasses were talcen oll slowly and in a fashion peculiar to the wise old owls. All that you have seen, my dear, is the fruit of the lahors of your competent and zealous teachersf, said Mr. Uwl as he hade me a pleasant farewell. - - .AL-
