VI$I€N$ Cr THE rUTLCE A stranger has just come through the doors of A. H. S. He is short in stature and timid by nature. His head is very round and completely bald. He gives to us a strange instrument somewhat resembling a telescope. We look into this device and see an enormous pair of eyes which slowly fade into the background and a number of familiar faces appear. First we see a sideshow at the Avilla World ' s Fair featuring the world ' s fatest woman, Lucille Hampshire. Here is crooner Johnny Weimer, idol of millions of women, picking on the freshmen girls as usual. Delores Grimm and Betty McBride, now woJrld famous magicians, are better known as the Female Fakes. Jerry Mueller has now taken up permanent residence at Alcatraz for running off with Professor Helmer ' s beautiful secretary. Donna Blotkamp, chief wardeness, says Jerry is her favorite boarder. Now we are looking at Jim Bianski, the Olympics swimming champion, who has just established another milestone in the sport of swimming by making a transatlantic swim across the Pacific Ocean. Now we are switched to Africa where we see Marilyn Geinger, of the F.B.I. , leading the search for Doctor Loyal Perlich, who has been missing in darkest Africa for several years. Back in civilization we find that D ' Maris Uhl is the women ' s wrestling champion of the universe. Dick Helmkamp is the overworked editor of the Police Gazette. We have reason to believe that Dick enjoys his job. Pat Crothers is now the first lady of the land. She seems to have made a lucky matrimonial catch. Jean Imler has seen fit to change her name to Mrs. Uhl and is now the eleventh vice president of the Uhl Petroleum Products. She is in charge of the president, Mr. Jr. Uhl. The recent revolution in Mexico has ended with Ellen Parks, leader of the revolutionists, crowned queen. Queen Parks has declared war on any and all nations who refuse to recognize her government. Harold Englext, president of the United States Senate, is engaged in a terrific fight to get congress to lower the voting age to four. Harold says, Anyone who is man enough to chew the new super-deluxe bubble gum is man enough to vote. Alberta Fischer is the leading attraction on Broadway again this year. Her superb performances as a fan dancer has been packing theaters for the last three years. Now we see that a sure cure for hay fever has finally been discovered. The person responsible for this cure is Dorothy McCoy. Thersa Teders and Lois Traxler have teamed up to make the popular singing duo known as the Puddlejumpers. Wayne Tarlton, the secretary of the treasury in the President ' s Cabinet has suddenly disappeared. By a strange coincidence ten billion dollars also disappeared at the same time. That nationally known deep sea diver, William Eley, has made another record breaking dive. Three weeks aso he went down off the coast of Florida on a search for Mermaids. As far as anyone knows he is still searching, or maybe he caught un with one. Donna Bell M ' ller has just been chosen Miss America of the 20th Century. Miss Miller is now attemtiring to decide whether she will accept movie contracts from Hollywood, dramatic con- tracts from Broadway, or marriage contracts from Avilla. Merton Buehrer, the enersetic president of General Motors, has acquired a monopoly on the automotive industry. Mr. Bu ' -hr r issued a bulletin stating that only n odel A Fords will be made from now on because, as Mr. Buehrer says, You can ' t be killed on a highway, as long as you ' re in a Model A. Ivan Dressier has followed his bovhood occupation and become a common everyday farmer, although his f rm is a bit out of the ordinary in that it rovers the entire Midwest United States. Mr. Dressier, furthermor-;, says that if taxes don ' t come dov T he will recede from the Un ' on. Roger Harrod is the modi-rn vcrsif ! of the ancient Romeo. Ro ' er is n ' the head of a larse firm that specializes in giving advice to the lovelorn. Ethel Bohnenberger, the famous woman explorer. h?s discovered that the North Pole ■ ' ; lost. She is conducting an extensive se-fh for the Lost Pole. Pat Walt is the nation ' s leadintr a- ' -iatr ' x, who h s iust set a new speed record between Earth and the moon by the way of Mars. Lillian Myers, who started working -as a salesgirl in Woolworth ' s five and ten cent store, has been promoted. Sh= row holds the controlling interests in Woolworth ' s and Myers ' five and ten dollar stores. The ' 4S class picked Paul Uhl as the one most likely to succeed. Paul lived uo to his billing by turnini a professional tramp and is now k ' nT of the American Federation cf Respectable Hobos. Police in ■jS states have been alerted to watch for the notorious bandit. Paul Geiger. Gruesome Gei-cr h s just held up the Communitv Sind Band at Avilla and made off with several million dollars in counterfeit checks. Alice Wri ht has finally proven that she is a direct descendent of the famous ■Wright br ' hers. The Supreme Court has ruled that Miss Wright is riehtful owner o{ the epf ' re airplane industry. Working d v« are now a thinT of the past because that great in-enror, Frarcis Lev. has worked out a formi-Iti for roetual mof ' oi Now as we are still lookin-r i- ' o this strange machine, we see a siffn massing by. The sign reads; It is not advisable to place much stock in the truth of the things vou have iust seen. It is m.y duty to inform you that this instrument was invented by Jack Moore who is now residing at the institute for the insane. Signed, The World. Whether the things we saw are true or not is up to Father Time. But these are visions of the future of the class of 1948, as seen through the eyes of the world. IS
