The owners are Rosa Hawkins and Azzaria Baxter. The preacher is Herbert Stover, singer, Janet Ma- con, pianist, Regina Rayg and reporter for the New York Times is Zenobia O'Neil. Directly across the street is one of the chain French-cliinesc Restaurants owned by Roosevelt Potter and operated by Willis Black. The competent chef is the French-speaking William Bellamy, and the lovable Chi- nese-speaking pancake flapper is Genevieve Black. Around the corner is a technicolor television studio. The workmen are now making preparations for that long awaited program, Where Did Kilroy Go? , sponsored by Leon Sutton's Six Way Economical Cold Tablets. fAfter one uses these tablets for curing his cold, he may dissolve them in hot water and use as Red Devil's Lye or dissolve in cold water and use asgloor wax.j Starring in Where Did Kilroy Go , fby the way Kilroy got confused with the directions on the bottlej are: Marjorie Linton, Jo Ann Richey, Doris Bruce, Gladys Cox, Thomasina Carroway, Edward McCoy, Cerento Martin and John Williams. Immediately following this program Willie Stevenson and his quintet, consisting of Shirley Gaither, Inez Hughes, Leonard Williams and Shirley Addison, sing songs of the 'Ole West. This quintet became famous for its rendition of Two Gun Mama! The dawn is approaching, therefore, I must hurry before my jet-propelled flying saucer of 1981 begins to fade into the mysterious unknown and I shall have no more power to pursue, since the dawn takes away all of my unearthly powers. Farewell, and remember that our trip reveals that the members of this Class will always headline the news EVELYN SHIPP 'N

Look over there at the Coliseum! There's a picture of the Globe Trotters with old faces I seem to recognize. They are Calvin Price, Bobby Pennington and XVilliam Bryant. Is that the-yes, the professional football team coached by Jerry Crews with his assistant coach, Herman Wilson. 'Some of the players on the temm are: joseph Harvey, commonly called the Stone:rusher,'g XValter Little, the Hard Shelled Snail g and Thomas Williams, the Pryotechnies fmeaning fireworksj. That winged atomic controlled ambulance you see near the field belongs to Charles Hairston. He has a swift fleet of them. His funeral home has a frightful but rather harmless atmosphere. His customers bring him joy and sadness. Along with the funeral home he has the Right Rev. LeRoy Bell to give his cus- tomers that last step forward. Archie Love writes short, corny verses to be used as epitaphs. Enough for North Carolina. We must continue our trip forward. We're at the Howard Theater in Washington, D. C., watching the world famous interpreters and modern dancers of Mildred Little perform the sensational Ali Gay Ha Ba Qwhich when translated means the African Midnight Ramblernj. The group consists of Clarene Barber, Olivia Green, James Davis and James Kinard. Over there in the Smithsonian Institute is a sketch of the instrument used in the curing of pediroscomovallie, the germ commonly called dandruff. These electrical instruments were invented by,Willie Jackson and are in constant use at the College Girl beauty parlor operated by Barbara Blaylock. Her assis- tants are: Janie Crowder, Ida Massey, Mildred Howie, Burnie Sturdivant, Clarine Richardson and Virginia Crumblin.

A change of scenery reveals the I-Iouse of Representatives and the new Congressmen as follows: james Garrett, Samuel Houston, john Blakney, Romeo Stukes and Thomas Mickens. Daniel Rice, who speaks all languages fluently, is our new ambassador to Russia. Each has been doing an excellent job in promoting the welfare of the American citizens at home and abroad. As I turn the pages in the Movie Gu.lI1F which lies beside me, a startling title strikes my eye-- Love Came At Last! -an opera composed by Edythe Scott and produced by William Griffin, and starring: Clarice Graham, Fannie Tomlin, Mary Vestal, Austina Norris, Dona Ford, Joyce Rush and Ann Martin. At present this opera is being given in New York City, New York, at the Metropolitan Opera House. The eccentric costumes for this opera were designed by the world famous designing duet, Constance Newsome and Audrena Conrad. As I look down, the bright lights, crowded streets and huge buildings only tell me one thing: I am now looking down at the center of the great metropolis, N:w York City. In the center of the gigantic city is a bright colored sign which reads: Marriage License, Two Dollars Down!,' Scribbled below in small letters is, The rest is monthly payments.
