Gerry Maxwell has become editor of the New York Times. She really had to work her way up to this position; it took about ten years to convince the previous editor's son that she could run the business of marriage and the newspaper at the same time. Reverend Roland Fierce and his wife, Nancy, have settled down in Circleville, Ohio. They own a little cottage and have two little red heads. Never a dull moment! Lois Harper has undertaken a big project, introducing the square dance all over the United States. Lois calls, of course, and accompaniment is provided by Rolph Flanigan and his orchestra. At this time Lois and company are playing at the Stork Club in New York. CynthiaGillon has undertaken the task of rewriting the dictionary. She has just reached the halfway mark; to get this far it has taken fifteen years. Cynthia figures that by 1985 her book should be finished. Aside from this job, she is also working on an autobiography. This should be quite a book! Glamourous Bonnie Hayman is seen in one of New York's exclusive dress shops modeling a dress for a customer. The customer is none other than the famous star of stage and screen, Charlotte Welch. Charlotte's career began as the result of her winning a contest, the prize being a trip to Hollywood and a screen test. She later decided to try Broadway. Buck Harris likes Germany so well that after Shirley's graduation twenty years ago, he sent for her and Marsha to come there. Shirley and General Harris have a beautiful little home in Berlin (American Zone). While Buck is away on military business, Shirley occupies her time by giving singing lessons to German children. Norma Watts waited twenty years for this day--her wedding day. She finally roped Eddie into marriage. It was a tough battle, but she won. They will make their home at Briggleville. Evelyn Willey owns a big stripping mine at McLuney. Under her employ is David Taylor, her husband. David and Evelyn stiH ride around in style in the old coal truck--twenty years older, to be exact. Shirley Houk, after her graduation in 1952, enrolled at Ohio University, where she took a four-year course in one year. She liked college life so well that she stayed on as a teacher, and she is now Dean of Girls. Once a week Shirley holds a class for the benefit of the profs. When questioned on the subject of marriage, Shirley said, There's plenty of time for that. Jerry's still waiting. Donna Theisen is found at her office in Los Angeles, finishing a report. Always efficient, Donnie has learned more and more about efficiency as she guided her twelve sons through childhood and then decided to make her knowledge of efficient procedures pay off. Her services are now sought all over the nation as an efficiency expert. Well, that was the class of '52. Satan doesn't seem too pleased with what he has seen, so he turns the futuravision off in disgust. He says to himself, Oh, well, everything takes time. CYNTHIA GILLON DONNA THEISEN

CLASS PROPHECY Denny Ault and Company are located near Madison Square Garden, the boxing center of the United States. The sign over his door reads, Prompt service--Out at 9:00-in at 10:00. His Profession? Making false teeth. It's a very prosperous business. Why, in 1970 he made enough money to make himself a set of teeth. After many years of hard study, Robert Henning was able to pass his Civil Service exam and is now a government employee. He's the head ofaclean-up committee in Washington--he's the Official garbage collector. This will kill you! Junior Dennis's business establishment, which is in McLuney must be a haven; people are just dying to get inside. Junior is a very dignified mortician. The futuravision is now focused on New York at the Murphy Metropolitan Opera House. Over the set comes music (?). .Juan Donald Burley is singing a tenor solo with his background music furnished by the Donaldson Symphonettes with Gerald Pop Donaldson doing the conducting. Seated in one of the boxes is Donna Murphy, proprietor and sole owner of the Metropolitan Opera House--AND Don Burley. Professor Elliott, who is the chemistry teacher atCrux University and the writer of the well-known book entitled, How to Stay Awake, in Ten Easy Lessons, is caught at this moment snoozing in his class. Admiral Doris Trout is seen giving orders to S. R. Bobb Ross, who knows his superior officer means business. Bobb grabs the mop and starts swabbing the deck of the USS Ross Homestead. Warren Moneybags Walpole is seen picking out a Cadillac to match his new yellow suit. Being a millionaire isn't so easy as it may seem; as Arch puts it, It's so hard to find a Cadillac to go with my various colored suits, especially my purple and pink suits. WOW ! Just look at glamourous Cynthia Schwartz. When she was homecoming queen ofC. H. S. she never dreamed she would be crowned again, now as Mrs. America of 1972. Cynthia's most ardent fan. Buddy Junior, is in the audience at the crowning. Next the devil sees Pauline Ashley and the Daughters of the Daughters of the Pioneers on location at Interversal-Uninational Studio for the shooting of a scene from their next picture, Went That-a-Way with the Wind. Pauline's troop includes Retta Wolfe playing the bass fiddle, Gwen Moore on guitar, Norma Brown on accordian, and Barbara Yoder on the fiddle. Their voices are notorious, also. Joe Wilson and Bob McClain own an escort service in Roseville. Their business is tremendous. They have a 24-hour service. They would have employed more men, but that means splitting the proceeds--and the business!!! Shirley McCrayhas had quite ajob converting the natives in Africa. She also has been trying to teach them the English language, but now must give it up as a lost cause. The natives have exerted such an influence on Shriley that she, herself, cannot speak English, now. Dale Brown has a BIG job with the Belling Brothers' Circus, in fact, probably the biggest job. He washes the elephants before every parade. Right at this moment Eugene Fauley is going up the river for a stretch--about four years. Eugene is accused of embezzling money at the Crooksville Bank, where he has been employed for the past twenty years. This was the quickest way Eugene could think of to get enough money for a one-way ticket to Africa. Synda Russell and Marlene Robinson liked being endmen in the various Ifka presentations so well, that they decided to form a partnership and make the minstrel business their vocation. Sister Bones Russell and Bubblehead Robinson had been touring the country until just recently, when they were didcovered by a TV talent scout. Their new TV show is the Darktown Strutters' Ha! Ha! Zane Dusenbury has a job singing on the radio. He has top honors on the program, the singing commercial. Now and then you hear the announcer say, We interrupt this commercial to bring you a very short program.
