a ass Today is June 11, 1982. The time is eight o ' clock. Forty years ago, on this very day, at this very mo- ment, at College High School in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, the Class of 1942 was seen together for the last time. For graduation exercises were being held, and the twenty five dignified, seniors were stepping forward to receive their diplomas. They were an impressive sight, and each young face held promise of a brilliant future. Now, after forty long years, we wonder what has happened to all those blessed individuals, and to satisfy our curiosity, we turn to the opening pages of Who ' s Why in Amer- ica, to see what we can find. Right off the bat, is a long article about Randall Baer and his amazing career. Of course, all one needs to say here is that anyone who can put Frank- lin D. Roosevelt out of office, after a thirty six year term, is certainly gomg some. Next comes Doctor Janet Crum, with a picture of her astonishing ma- chine for curing seasickness. It is a very complicated piece of mechanism, and only Janet herself is able to set it in motion. Due to the relentless work of Claire Adolf and Helen Cooke, Paterson has become a city once more, and the mills are grinding out silk, that had formerly made the place so famous. At present, they are con- sidering doing a little clean up work in Little Falls. Another town which has rapidly grown famous in the past few years is Mountain View. There one can now see the Dickes Baking Factory, largest in the United States. Evelyn started with a little shop, but due to her resourcefulness and skill in baking, we find her today the owner of this amazing concern. We notice that Bill DuVal has become a radio comedian, and is even funnier than Bob Hope. Bill Page Twenty-four

f- roph ec started out selling cars — Oldsmobiles, to be exact, but found Ford competition too great. The radio has made him a big success, and he may get the Pulletzer Prize for laying the best eggs. Everyone, of course, was surprised to hear that Katherine Hepburn committed suicide the other day, but the event was really quite logical. Now than Myrn Gardner is on Broadway, doing her best, the competition is raging. Eli Culbertson is also an unknown, because he had nothing on Janet Hance and Renee Titus. These two wizards are now the world ' s champion bridge team, and are, at the pres- ent, playing with the king and queen of England. Of course, under H we find Ronald Hodges im- mediately, who, with patience as his virtue, has finally become conductor and composer for the Col- lege High Orchestra. Ron ' s hair is long and white now, after leading such a strenuous life, but after his long wait, he has succeeded in securing this ideal position. Also in this section, we are saddened by the picture of Dave Hollenbeck, who, heroically serving his country, lost his life. He was engaged in taking pictures of enemy planes, when he was caught, and sent before the firing squad. Incidentally, if he hadn ' t gotten into such a fierce argument with his captors, he might have been saved. Sue Horn, that was her maiden name, has been married for thirty-five years, and is now the proud possessor of the world ' s largest family. She claims that the secret to her success has been to feed all her children as much vitamin Bi as they could stand. On the next page are the stories of The Death Dodger, Jim Inglis, who, for the past twenty years or more, has made millions swoon with his breath- taking leaps and turns in his car, on which he himself does all the necessary repair work, and Lois Jackson,
