the Future Boxer, Louie Brock. Sitting at the next table is Mr. Thomas Strickler and his wife, the former Miss Barbara Richardson. Mr, Strickler is the well-to-do editor of the Chicago Hi-Times, under the joint ownership of Marilyn Kime and Dorothy Hartwick. The house lights go out and into the spot- light steps Dick Troyer. The band begins to play as Dick sings Mule Train. his old favorite from way back in 1949. All of a sudden there is a great commotion in the kitchen of the Hot Shot. Gloria Helmuth, one of the dishwashers, is yelling frantically for help. Mr. Kreider goes to the rescue and finds that Kathryn Everest, and Barbara Tenney, kitchen helpers, have swooned from Dick's singing. He quickly pulls Barbara's head out of the dishwater, where it fell when she fainted, and admin- isters artificial respiration. The excitement was just too much for Arlene Pepin, she has a heart attack. Donna Castetter, the head cook, calls Priest's Memorial Hospital, which incidentally was founded by Donald Priest. In a few minutes the ambulance arrives and Gloria Shaw. one of the nurses, gives Arlene a hypodermic. After she recovers and everything is going smoothly Mr. Kreider returns to his table and finds Norma Marks, and Lois Stickel waiting for him. During their conver- sation Charlene Benner appears and asks Mr. Kreider if he would like to buy the picture she has just sketched of him, He soon solves this problem by calling on Fearful,' Lambka. Lois tells him that Donna Fasig has just recently been elected United States Senator from California, and that Barbara Loucks is a school teacher, along with her and Norma, at Concord Municipal High School. Mr. Kreider decides he would like to see how the Concord Trotters are getting along so he goes to the television set and starts turning the dials. He picks up a tele-cast from John Stifller's bowling alley. The announcer tells us that the world bowling championship trophy has just been won by Esther Reed. Mr. Klreider tries desperately to find the Trotters basketball game but instead he finds the champion- ship hot rod race. lt looks like Myron Rassi is going to win this great event. but no he has a blowout and he is just one lap from the finish line. Dick Spangle, the owner of the Spiffy Spaffy Spangle Packard Garage and chief backer of Myron's hot rod, is frantic. He shouts Do something some- body, do something. Just then Larry Ulrey dashed onto the track with something under his arm. He quickly jacks up the car and ties a skate to the tire. Myron then pilots the racer to the finish line and the championship. Mr. Kreider is exasperated, but he gives the dial one last twist and there on the screen appears the Concord Universe Trotters basketball game in the dying seconds. There is a long shot by John Anderson, It swishes through the cords as the gun sounds and the Trotters win the Uni- versal Championship 138 to 137. Cheerleader Dallas Martin runs out on the floor with Rosemary Weber to tell the fellows what a great game they played and to cheer up substitutes Roy Yoder, and Gene Siler who didn't see any action in this great game. Mr. Kreider is very happy but by this time he is on the verge of a nervqus breakdown so he vows not to return for another fifteen years. Upon entering the bus to go back to Washington, Mr. Kreider goes into a dead faint as he sees the bus driver is none other than Frieda Oetting. The 1950 CONCORDIAN Page 'lhwenty-three

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
