SENIOR SCENES IN '51 As we gaze into the crystal ball, we make some startling discoveries. We see Evelyn Lamkin, a successful dress designer in New York City. She is calling her sister. Helen, and who do you suppose is the telephone operator? None other than Maxine Appelt. Helen is a secretary to Paul Morgan, the nation’s best known G-Man. We clearly see that ace mechanic, Dode Clark, reading an article, “My Trials and Troubles in High School”, by Leo Earl Poundstone in the magazine “Miss Fortune”, edited by Harb Camp. On the back is a picture of Fred Evans, who is a tobacco auctioneer. There is a testimonial in which he says, “I have chewed Chestnut Chewing Tobacco since I was a freshman in high school, and since I have become an auctioneer. I see that the Chestnut Company buys only the best and blackest tobacco possible”. The scene changes to San Francisco where James Aid. a hard-boiled truant officer, is mercilessly dragging two would-be vacationers to school, and giving them a lecture about what happened to a little boy he once knew who “played hookey”. Now we are in Texas where Carl Fay is the owner of a Dude” ranch. Herb Schuh is foreman, and we see him sitting on the corral rail, surrounded by beautiful girls. Switching back to California, we see our old classmate. Hetty Adams, who is now a movie star known as Hedy La Adams. Hedy is using a new kind of make-up that has been blended and introduced by the noted chemist, Eugene Wallace. In Bement, the “old home town”, we visit the new Wilmer Foran Memorial hospital. Wilmer, after making his fortune by inventing an electric milker that would walk to the barn by itself, endowed the struggling hospital with a gift of $150,000. Doctor W. Wade Hendrix smilingly greets us and shows us through the hospital. We visit two of our 1041 classmates, Kate Probus and Delores Shantz, who are both suffering from broken legs as a result of a fall in a jitterbug session. Their two efficient nurses, Mary Shepherd and Doris Lamb, keep them quite contented by telling them jokes. Mildred Marker has had the honor of being the first woman President of the United States. She was recently elected on the La Ma Hot Cha ticket which advocates a one-hour day and an eight-day week. Her social secretary is Martha Lane, looking as young as ever and still claiming that she is as young as ever. We see twin houses in those twin cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and there are the Leib twins, just going out with their twin husbands, Clara with Jerry, Clarice with Terry. Some setup! Into view now comes Captain Eugene Wright of the U. S. Navy, talking to Don Romack, the technical adviser of the Romack Airplane Corporation. We see a bill on one of the hangars advertising the coming of Phil Spitalny’s all-girl orchestra, featuring Lois Jean Ryan and her Silver Trum pet. In New York City. Dorothy Petersen is a well-known scout troop organizer. Peggy Moery and Hetty Turney are co-editors of “Advice to the Lovelorn in the New York Times. Richard Warren is a United States Senator and has just set a new record by talking for 43 days, 17 hours, 15 minutes and 23 seconds without relinquishing the floor to anyone else. Hob Scott is head basketball coach at Southern California University. As we see him, he is telling his players how Bement went to the Sectional Tournament back in 1941. Inza Forcum and Virginia Lux are both teach- Fourteen
