efddd 77fw7e4ecq N eminent scientist of the future stands before an equally eminent audience. He ls surrounded by much apparatus and backed by a screen. He begins to speak. For this test of my television machine to delve into the past by showing the accomplishments of the distinguished Deposit High School Class of 1948 . Only the hum of electricity and the crackle of sparks as they leap from arc to arc breaks the breath- less silence. Suddenly, preceded by a blinding flash of light, these events meet the awe-stricken eyes of the spec- tators. Roarlng along the Universal Speedways come the top auto racers of the nation, Johnny Backus, Chuck Lgch, and Dick Scott. Eva Butcher, who has long ago distinguished herself as the press agent for the 'Ladles magazine which is run by Mary Barnhart. Norma Yale has come in from her ranch to view this event, and Bill Mcgillan, that red-haired dynamo, took a day off to cheer on the three favorites. While they are in the field of sports, the television whisks them to another corner of the world where, in the famous Walt Bowen Gym, Walt himself ls conversing with such international athletes as Bill Martin, the All-American football star, err McElo , that wrestling champion, and basketball- coach, Dave Putnam. Bill mentions that he has heard B dy Budine's taxi is doing quite well, now they pay him. The television now flashes to the offices of the Secretary of Defense. He is just awarding distin- guished service medals to Doug Lee of the Air Corps, and Dick Ellis of the Navy who is still nautical but nice and still worrying Eout his Social Studies. The sound of a syrupy voice slnglng a commercial precedes the next sight on the televisor. The owner of the voice is none other than Keith Segour. Breaking in, Albie Lloyd announces the trumpet and clarinet soloists of his band, Mary Ola Sliter, and Chase Skillman. Maestro Dolores Smith follows and is succeeded by Arlene Howland who has madga special trip from the Ehlers farm to participate in the program. Listening a little longer they see and hear the lady Gabriel Heater, Eleanor CFishj Carson. As the televisor switches to the studio of Susie Schwenz the famous artistic photographer they see that Metropolitan star Dou Pellet just leaving with Blondie Bennett, the new blonde Goldwynn Girl. just then Mar Angelopulos, the second Helen Hayes, enters, followed by Shirley Bodley, the Drene shampoo r . The televisor turns its all-seeing eye on the educational field and a group including Joyce Merchant, the prominent college president, Evelyn Kelsey, that great professor of Latin and Helen Youngs, the sweetheart of Sigma Chi come into view. Even the Unions can't escape the eyes of this televisor. They find that the Railroad Brotherhood is being practically supported by those commuters to Pennsylvania, Buckwheat Chamberlin and joan Dailey. One of the great union leaders, Gerry Weubben, head of the Bums Union, has a flock of secre- tarles among whom are Rosebud Decker and Terry Lobdelly his private secretary is Doris Edwards. Dort Whitaker is the receptionist and Hank Hanrahan takes care of Bills and things. The televisor changes to politics where Adam An elo ulos is shown makingacampaign speech for Governor. His running mate for Lieutenant overnor is Arthur Bradtke. Milly Fuller acts as their stenographer. The backbone of the nation , the farmers are represented in the televisor by many alumni of De- posit hlgh school. Merle Kelsey and Bill Lawson have combined their horses and tractors. Robert Vaughn also belongs to this category. On another marriage, Flip Dailey is shown at the gas station 'filmg' to Reggie Gould who has stopped with a tall young man for gas for their car. Even Deaconess Beverl Ter ennin is a wife now. Even the le of medicine shows up illustrious members of this class ln the televisor. For ln- stance: the leading male nurse is Pete Shellrnan and the leading female nurse is Alice Lounsberry. Veterinarian, Bruce Green also plays a leading role ln this field. The televlsor just happens to catch a meeting of Ed. Hartz, head of International Corporation of Hartz Hardware and that minstrel man Clarence Tuttle Ed, is ably assisted ln his work by his secre- tary Dot Smith. Our last scene shows Cathy Gearon, librarian in the Congressional Library just receiving the of- ficial copy of The Great American Novel written by Ioan Freiberg. The book is closely watched by counterspy Kathleen Simmons because it is so valuable. Shirley LaTourette, secretary, assists Cathy in answering queries about the books.

a !! W!! e . 15 HREE-thirty Thursday morning, April 1, 1948, saw a group of sleepy seniors assembling at the school garage. After everyone arrived we started on our trip. On the way we stopped at Scranton and Philadelphia to eat. At Baltimore we left the train and went by bus to the Franciscan Monastery. This was one of the prettiest places we saw. The grounds around were as pretty as the Building itself. We arrived at the Hotel Ebbitt about 5:30 and had supper. Our first night was free and everyone went out walking just to get a preview of what we were later to see on our tour. Different people went to the Capitol or the White House while others went swim- ming or riding on the trolleys. The next morning, after having breakfast we went to see the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. There we saw lots of money and everybody tried to latch on the green paper. - From there we went to the F. B. I. building. Many on the trip thought this was the most interest- ing. From here we were able to see and hear the Crime Does ljg Pay. 'I'he Washington Monument was the next place we visited. From here we were able to see just how the city was laid out. The most impressive thing was the cherry blossoms around the Tidal ba- sin. That afternoon we went to Annapolis. To the girls this was the best part of the trip. Several of them tried to get lost. Returning to the Hotel about 6:00 we had supper and got ready for the theater party. Here we saw the movie Three Daring Daughters and the vaudeville show, then proceeded to get something to eat and went home to bed. The next day our first stop was the Pan-American building and the U. S. Capitol where we met Representative Hall and had our picture taken. After lunch we went to the Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After this we visited Mt. Vernon and saw the George Washington Estate. On the way back we stopped to visit the airport. This night we went to the Casino Royal, had supper KFrled Chicken and Chow Meinl danced and saw the floor show. We left there about 9:00 and so went to the movies while others went shopping or sightseeing. The next day, being our last, we intended to make the most of lt. We visited the Lincoln Mem- orial, the Jefferson Monument, and the Smithsonian Institute. Qllere we saw what we looked like a thousand years ago.J ' Upon our arrival at Baltimore, we said goodbye to our bus drivers, Tim Maloney and Harry Sing. We boarded the train, had a scrumptious dinner ln the dining car, and were on our way back home. CAD too soonll 24
