CLASS PROPHECY It is the night of December 31, 1949, and we three career women have decided to spend the evening together, since our escorts from the Bureau have failed to arrive. We couldn't get Joe Wiethoff, Johnny Loftus, and Loren Ward while in school so we asked for them as our escorts at the Bureau, for the New Year's Eve which we are going to spend at the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. Merwin Read. She is the former Harriette Bott, of the Bashful Botts. How well we remember that wedding. Mary Marchione warbled Oh Promise Me and the bridesmaids included Bernice Zila, Adeline Van Heeke, Ada Wagner, Rose Schon, Katherine Springer, and LaReva Salwin. We letf Ma Talerowski's Boarding House, the Ham and Egg Emporium where we roomed next to those gay divorcees Charlotte Tanner and Helen Steffy, only to step into a You Ride 'Em, We Drive 'Em cab driven by Charlie Young who, in connection with Herman Peters and Perry Whalley owns this up an' comin' service for the public. Charlie suggested that a run of the town would be more interesting than a boring society party and also suggested Clarke Dettmer, Bob Erwin and Bill Martin, those famous Town Painters as our personal guides. Of course, we were thrilled at the prospect even though WIETOFF, LOFTUS, and WARD weren't available. Mr. Dettmer suggested as our first step Dotties' Dive owned by Bill Kuehn and the Mrs., the former Dorothy Weiland. The Dive was conveniently situated near LaLonde's Last Lap, the funeral parlor. Upon entering we were greeted by the cute little hat-check girl. Norma Hight, and directed to a choice table be head waiter, Bob Casey, just as the program started. The featured stars of the evening were the Moonshiners chorus which con- sisted of June Haskell, Lorraine Kulick, Lil Kamberg, Gladys Hackett, Maxine Gilmore, and so on. Also on the program was that famous comedy team of Oswald Zeidler and Phyllis Andrews, who astonished us all by being funny. Just as we started to wend our way to the door we spied Vic Westman, William Wills, and Oliver Vetere, the house dicks, who were looking earnestly for LOFTUS, WIETOFF, and WARD at our request. We got to the door in time to see Allan Huffmon being hurriedly exited by Skippy LaChapelle, the bouncer. As we were nonchalanty riding along our attention was drawn to a sign reading The Flnorwalker's Frolic with music by Kenny Blum and his Flatfooters . Driving by we noticed Casanova Albright as doorman who waved to us, indicating either to go on by or come in. We weren't sure, so we went in. The Schlotter Swing was in progress. It was created by Dorothy and Bob, those famous artists of the dance. Those swinging it were Delphine Acker, Doris Bender, Lorraine Daniel, Rose Mary DeCuypere, William Ander- son, Bob Ashcraft, Berthold Boehm, and Lloyd Boswell. Master of ceremonies was Bill Cullinan, who was ably assisted by his charming stooge Joyce Tyler. Incidentally, the stooge from the audience was Moffat Brown, who we all know dashed off with Dachoff. Suddenly all the doors flew open and there appeared upon the scene officers Skinner, Santoro, Stilson, Su-panich, and Wagner. That's right. it was a raid. The judge was the Honorable Homer V. Gerts. We flapped our eyelashes, some flew off and struck the Honorable Homer V. Gerts in the eye, allowing us just enough time to elude the clutches of the law, and the judge. Feeling the need for fresh air we decided to stretch our limbs and go for a walk. While walking down Woodward we spied an advertisement announcing the coming lecture by Miss Christian Daphne Deeley-Jones and her attractive assistant, Florence Lucille Nyquist. Their topic was Spreading Culture Among the Masses. Upon hearing our names called, we turned and saw Norma Marti- nelli, Shirley Lane, Winnie Papenfus, Ida Ponzio, George Winters, Art Wilson, Don Taitt, and Jerry LaRouche, who were on their way to Florence Underwood's new drama Rain on the Roof, drip, drip. No reflection on the cast, however, which included John LaVassar, character role was played by Ruthie Mierow whose famous last words haven't arrived yet. The play will probably be reviewed by Shirley Shimmin Van Gorder. that talented cynic- critic. Here comes the Navy down the street. First comes Harry Mertens with Barbara Van Giesen's name tattooed on his chest, and Charles Yale, first Lieutenant with Clara Funk devotedly hanging from one arm. Behind them came Bill Wheeler, galley slave, and Wes Hopp, and Frank Gregg. They gave us the once over, just once, and passed on. As we were sauntering along once more Meyer's Fancy Fresh Fruit Stand caught our eye. It was presided over by the super duper wit, Irving Meyers. The specialty for the day had been straight bananas. Matching pennies in the back room were Don Vincent, George Villneff, and Howard Vautherot. Our conscienceis got the best of us and we felt it our social duty to at least stop in at the Reads' party. We were glad we did because among the couples present were Georgina Balduck and James Utley, Phyllis Barnard and Vincent Sweier, Pearl Bintz and William Tagoline, Dorothy Dunn and Russell Preston, Eileen Connelly and Paul Senstock, Dorothy Borland and Marcel Wer- brouck, Geraldine DeLaura and Earl Kloock, and Elizabeth Binder and Bill Smith. With a loud fanfare the orchestra announced the arrival of Sir Francis Anthony, Mechaux, ambassador to Goon 0'Bania, accompanied by his board of advisors, Margaret Scatter- brain Kelley, Doris Kruger, Alice Kyle, and Lenita LaBar. Im- mediately following were Richard Greene Reed, Eugene Gene Ray- mond, and James Cagney Odell, those famous heart throbs of the screen. Bringing up the rear were Susy Jarrett, Katherine Remsing. Betty Massad, and Geraldine McDonald, this season's most popular debs. Entertainment for the first part of the evening included tiddle- winks, drop the hankerchief, and post office. However, the main entertainment was the circus in the ballroom which featured such aerial artists as Letty Bauer, Bette Baxendale, Edna Graf, and Joyce Fraser. While below Don Frede industriously sold peanuts as the guests watched lion tamer, Art Habermas, and his assistant
