finds Betty Johnson waiting at the airport to meet him. She is hairdresser to the recently crowned Queen Elizabeth. During his visit in London he is to be the guest of Jim Nelson, Inspector of Scotland Yard. Gus is rather worn from the mental fatigue of such speedy travel so Jim easily entices him with suggestions of a relaxing fireside chat. Hence, the evening passed almost too quickly as Jim relates in vivid detail a few daring exploits which he experienced during his years at Scotland Yard. Also a resident of this intriguing city is Professor Gordon Perkins of Oxford University, a prominent mathematician, who Gus is equally eager to contact. Thoughts of Pairs and it's gaity soon dominate Gus's interests and prepar- ations are made for his departure into France. Among the many other places of note he expects to visit is the Cafe a la Casino where his former classmate, Miss Cleora Teter, who has mastered the art of ballet is giving a series of reviews. To make the trip in record time, however, he must be quickly on his way again and is soon over the beautiful Alps of Switzerland. This is the season for the Olympic Games. Betty Barber is representative ski champion from the United States and Gus is indeed honored to claim her as a fellow member of the C. H. S. class of '48. The last stop in Europe is Russia. Vaughn Stevens has attained a very reputable name in the fur industry here. He has spent three years trapping Russian Sables for his firm in the states and has built up a prosperous busi- ness enterprise in both countries. Once more Gus points his craft over the Atlantic. This route will take him through Central America in Nicaragua where the Great Canal is under construction. He is deeply impressed by such a gigantic project and the responsibilities imposed upon the designing engineer. Therefore he immediately assumes that a man in this position must be none other than Duane Smith which he soon verifies. Off again, this time over the Pacific; he wants to arrive in Hawaii before noon. Using, common sense he reasons that Paul Johnson is in a financial position to serve a banquet at every meal. Paul is an internationally famous comedian and commutes once a week to his broadcasting studio in San Francisco. Most of his time is spent quite casually with his attractive native wife and eight children. He is reluctant to leave Paul's leisure life of luxury but realizes he must if he is to reach Cambridge again before dark. Within fifteen minutes he is over Los Angeles and is soon on his way to the famous University of California in Los Angeles. He is directed to the fine arts building from where strains of heavenly music float out to meet him. Upon entering he finds, much to his utter chagrin and amazement, that it was the voice of one of Hazel Edgerton's pupils. She finds a few vacant moments to reminisce with Gus. Preceding his departure she directs him to Hollywood where he will find Miss Irene Greening making one of her greatest and most dramatic pictures opposite Guy Madison. After finding Irene well satisfied in her expensive and elaborate environment, he again soars into the sky with only one stop re- maining before the end of his trip. Jerry Fidler has become a refined student of art. After attending a College of Fine Arts for four years, he has set up his own interior decorating shop. At the present his commendable business ex- tends to include three smaller establishments in mid-western cities. It has been a fascinating trip that gives you that 'Auld Lang Syne' feel- ing, Captain Kutz tells his friends. Now he must snitch a few hours of sleep and report for his regular flight schedule. —14—

CLASS PROPHECY Discovery of the prehistoric Cambridge man in 1950 has given our com- munity world fame. Professor Seewich from the University of Rome is compil- ing historical data on the Cambridge site from 3000 B. C. until the present year, 1965. Captain Robert CGus ) Kutz has volunteered to uncover the vital sta- tistics of the Senior class of 1948 for the Professor's records. We see him now as he rides up to the Cambridge Municipal Airport, the largest in the state. Well, of course, it's managed by Darrel Rauch. For the trip he will use Darrel's latest discovery. Supersonic S-21. His first stop is Beatrice, Nebraska, where Ruth Johnston is directing matron of the State Home for the feeble-minded. She recently received her M. A. in Psychology and here she intends to pursue her research. Then on to Lincoln to the residence of Roger Jones where Dorothy and Junior keep the home fires burning while Roger is on his job. Remember his respect for traffic laws? That's how he happens to be an official of the Nebraska State Highway Patrol. When Gus arrives in Chicago, he circles the home field of the Chicago Bears where Harold Summers has developed his football technique profes- sionally. What a salary! ! ! Upon landing, Gus makes his way to the Fuller Brush Company where Claudine Owens is supervising the manufacture of her new invention, a back-scratcher by remote control. From Chicago he flies south to Memphis, Tennessee. Here's where he interviews Earl Rauch employed by the Ford Motor Company as a body de- signer. Phyllis Oh Ison is next on his list. As attractive as ever, she models bathing suits and doubles as a hostess for lawn parties on Miami Beach in Florida. Heading his plane north, he is soon over our nation's capital. Duane Walter has recently been elected U. S. Senator from Nebraska for his second consecutive term. As Walt and Gus talk over old times in C. H. S. Gus's eyes stray to Walt's desk of which the center of attraction is a picture of his wife, formerly June Hockemier. Maintaining an eminent position in the Washing- ton Diplomatic circle has kept her too busy to rock a cradle. After arriving at La Guardia field in New York he decides to rent a bicycle for riding to Westpoint. Here Richard Arnold has made a famous name for himself. Since graduating from the academy he has become Dean of the Plebs. Back in New York he goes directly to Fifth Avenue to contact Norma Seago, directing designer for Vogue. (Remember how she was sug- gested as a potential vocal artist of Metropolitan Opera—still insist she has the ability ! ! ) By this time Gus's plane has been carefully serviced and checked so he s off for Boston! Helen O'Brien was one of those lucky people who won a limerick contest. Result: A penthouse in Boston, Chrysler convertible and a life's supply of Duz. His last stop in the United States is Georgetown, Maine. Dorothy Dixson is one of the advisors at the Smith College although her avoca- tion of editing spelling books has brought recognition of her faculty work. A few miles from the Maine coast lives Betty Lee Ricketts. She has distinguished herself as a mistress of the lighthouse currently featured in the Reader’s Digest. She is also author of a series of articles on personality development. Success has at last overtaken Glenn Brooks. Gus witnesses the evidence as he flies over Glenn’s experimental farm in Canada. • His scientific methods are recognized all over the world by leading agriculturists. Now he is ready for his flight across the Atlantic. It seems a short time before he 4s over the London Municipal Airfield. He gets the biagest surprise of his life when he — 13—
