)iass J rotx SETTING: Linda’s and Armande ' s Lightning Travel Agency in St. Louis. TIME: 1971 LINDA: My, today is a slow day, business has never been this dull. ARMANDE: I ' ve got an idea. Let ' s take a ride in our private rocket ship and see what our former classmates are doing now. LINDA: Boy, this ship is certainly safe and comfortable! ARMANDE: No wonder, it was designed and built by the Anderson Spacecraft Industry under the direct supervision of Arthur Anderson and Donald Brunelle. LINDA; Let’s take turns, Armande. First I ' ll take the controls while you sit in the observation seat. On our return trip, you can pilot the ship. ARMANDE: ZOOM! That ' s a fast start. Here we are over Chicago already. There ' s a big neon sign down there. Go down a little lower so I can read it. It says Bob Conte ' Men Shop, featuring knee length knickers, argyle longies, and Bermuda shorts. And way over here there ' s a billboard advertising a new children ' s television program starring Carl Heintz and Barbara Eldredge. It’s called Doobee Doodirlsanboys. Now we’re over Ron Muise ' s hairdressing shop. He specializes in cutting pony tails off at the elastic. His interest seems to have grown from pulling them to cutting them. That building down there is the Flea-Free Rug Company where Ray Casavant is a rugbug picker. Here in Hollywood is where Elizabeth Stockton was lately seen modeling a new Paris creation. It ' s a gown called the Hourglass. Now we’re over the reducing salon owned by Gilbert Rainville and Henri Masson. Their motto is Less bounce to the ounce. Here’s the dancing school owned by Georgette Laprade and Albert Allard. I hear Georgette specializes in the twist. Now let’s fly over to see Mary Jane Locklin and Arlene Hughes. Voom! That was a close call. There goes Bob Lavallee in his supersonic jet plane. He ' s quite a stunt flyer you know! Well, here we are in Brazil, right over the Caffene Coffee Co. where Arlene works as private secretary to a coffee sipper and Mary Jane counts 43 beans in every cup. Have you heard from Connie Godin or Carol Lucchesi? LINDA: Yes, Connie and Carol are well known authors. Carol’s latest book is entitled The Secret Life of Paul Ozella.

ARMANDE: Here we are over Arabia. I can see Richard Gordon down there. He ' s an Arabian Sultan now and has a harem of 125 wives. I’ll take the controls now, Linda, you have a look. Where to? LINDA: England, to see Gerry Pelland. He has his Bachelor of Arts Degree. He al¬ ways said staying a bachelor was an art. Oooh! there’s a parade going on down there. Go down a little, I can ' t see through this fog. That’s Judy Graves riding in a red convertible. On the door it says Fire Chief. I see some one else wearing a badge, I think it ' s Roland Dufresne. He ' s a Truant Officer in the town where Judy is Fire Chief. Now back to the States . . . I hear that Bob Rouleau has a job as a piano tuner, but spends most of his time shopping so he can save enough green stamps to buy an orange Cadillac. Now we ' re flying over Maine where Paul Hreczuch and Joan Callahan are French teachers in a little school nearby. Their pupils bring them pea soup instead of apples for inspiration. Oh, there’s a billboard with Doris Skogstrom ' s picture and a message saying she ' s going to give a talk, My travels into the darkest jungles of Africa. Ronald Beauregard was voted Litterbug of the year. When asked for a comment, he merely said that this ab ility was started way back in his high school days. We’re right over Bellingham now. I can see Arthur Desmarais in front of the town hall. He is still as patriotic as ever. He babysits for busy parents so they can go out to vote. Here’s the Who’s Who Neuro-psychiatric Hospital. Carol Lacaillade is a nurse there and even she sometimes wonders who’s who. Here in Ny. is the home of Joan Daley, a famous costume designer. She originated the costume for the Purple People Eater. And there’s the G. E. building. Emile Blanchette is a bulbsnatcher there. Look at that building, it’s all striped! That must be Marcel LeBlanc’s paint factory. He manufac¬ tures striped paint. ARMANDE: It ' s not hard to understand how our own classmates could be so successful. Remember what an exceptional group we were? LINDA: We really were but we ' d better get back to our travel agency. ARMANDE: Yes, let’s. by LINDA WASYLEAN and ARMANDE BEAUREGARD
