Outlooks Un Walking through the streets of the city of Dunlap in the year of 1965, Mr. Kreider, who has just returned from Washington, finds everything in an uproar. This is due to the opening of the new Hot Shot Night Club, under the management of Bob Kiefer. As he steps inside he comes to the hat check counter, with a very attractive girl behind it. Upon inquiring he finds her name is Mary Chris- tian. He is shown to his table by Roger Haines, the head waiter, His attention is attracted by a glamor- ous cigarette girl. By close observance he discovers she is .lean Nelson and she has a run in her stocking. Mr. Kreider's cocktail is brought to him by James Clipp, another waiter, as the floor show begins. The curtain goes up and it reveals Esther Miller and her Honky Tonk girls. '4Queeny Mil- ler introduces her girls as Emogene Legs,' Schrock, Marilyn Fee Feen Belt, Barbara Bubbles', Bucher, and Rebecca HCan Can Robinson. As the show gets under way one of the patrons. who is none other than Rex Berger under the effects of his last twelve cocktails, makes a grab for 6'Queeny,, and just in time ,lim '6Fearful Lambka, the bouncer at the Hot Shot. lends a helping hand and takes Rex to a more appropriate place. The Honky Tonk girls are a little rattled after this and refuse to continue, however the quick thinking of manager Kiefer saves him from this embarrassing situation. He quickly brings in a television set with a four foot screen and places it in full view of everyone. Bob flips the switch but nothing happens, so he hurries to his ofiice and calls the Dunlap T.V. Re- pair Shop. The repair man arrives and Mr. Kreider is somewhat surprised to see it is Stewart Cummins. Stewart has the set fixed in a matter of minutes and to see if it will work properly he tries a few sta- tions. At first Mr. Kreider thinks he's dreaming but he soon realizes that the picture on the screen is really Julius DeMetz dressed like the Lone Ranger, The next station is telecasting a basketball game between the world famous Concord Universe Trotters and the Mars Martians. The Trotters roster consists of Jack Perkins as center, Keith Sweazy and John Anderson as forwards, Jack Davenport and Robert Rabbit,, Oswald as guards. They played their usual slow game the first half and at the end of the first half the score is the Mars Martians 137, the undefeated Concord Universe Trotters 72. The Trotters, famous coach, Eldon Speicher, takes the boys downstairs and gives them a good talking to. Stewart changes stations and what should he find next but a hot rod race. Prerace interviews are being announced by Dean Vantine. He has just come to the last pit and spots the world champion hot rod driver, Myron Rassi, and his famous mechanic, Larry Ulrey. Myron says he will win the race if one of his pistons doesn't spring a leak and if his mechanic holds out. Next he picks up a tele-cast from a New York hot spot featuring the dance band of Carl Rich. Some of the bandis more famous musicians are Tommy Nelson, Phil Tinsley. who has just recently started playing the flute, and Nelson Stutsman. The big attraction, however, is the singing of Dick Troyer. As Mr. Kreider views the audience he sees many familiar Hollywood celebrities. He is quite pleased when he sees Maxine Custer, a New York model, with Pete Heffner, manager of World Champion Light Heavy-Weight Page Twenty-two The 1950 CONCORDIAN
