Nutz of Pinkston Conservatory will show, almost e a movie, the future of the class of '45 or You'd Better form Now Kids. Tomorrow May Be Too Late. Now the lights are out, and on the screen are the familiar nes of D. H. S. There is Jo Ann Gilliam, who is teaching glish lll until her dream man comes home. Now, who in the rld could her dream man be? Oh, well! Here in Tulsa, is a distinguished but familiar-looking rson. Why, it's Virginia Carnahan. She was a Hollywoodbe, t she decided upon another career. She is on her way to umright to marry Richard Dix, who is an executive of the e Cheat 'Em All We Can Company - third vice-president charge of sanitation. , Walking down the corridor of the hospital in Wichita, nsas, is Betty D.

New Mexico has not only a desert, mountains, Indians, ian dwellings and Carlsbad Caverns, but also Carrol Lee ork, the tenth wonder of the world, who sings, dances, and ys the marimba all at the same time at Hopalong's Nite Club. ,Ted llook, girls, l'm a wolfl Moore has finally fallen hook, e, and sinker for a beautiful dark-eyed damsel he met in izona, and is devoting the rest of his life to making her ppy. How people do change! Farther west still, in San Francisco, Bill Holman is a famous litician working hard to save both faces. For once he's dered speechless! Internationally known and trying hard to ep Bill Holman out of jail is Robert Blackstock, attorney-at-law. There, too, on the beach of the Pacific, is a little white tage with flowers and a picket fence. In it lives the charm- Nora Mae Connett, with her husband and family. Now the scene changes. We're traveling east. Here is no, Nevada. Well, of all people! Bill Johnson, who in his ool days admitted there were two sides to every question, and the wrong side, is now a divorce lawyer assisting Betty vington in getting a divorce from her third husband. John Gober still has both feet planted firmly in the clouds. is now painting -a portrait of Roy Coonrod, the governor Montana. In one of the smaller towns of Montana, Gene Dyer running for sheriff. His speeches are like steer horns-a int here, a point there, and a lot of bull in between. The outstanding football team of the nation is being ched by Martin Riley, Martin made All-American in 49 en he played on the Notre Dame team. ln a hotel lobby in Chicago, Illinois, is a great and cele- ted authoress. Why it's none other than Erma Stracener, lor the name Stracener now?l the authoress of THE GREAT OCRASTINATOR, inspiration of which is Benny Nash, presi- nt of the class of '45. Benny was a representative of the Lily ite League until his one fault, that of procrastination, was nd.

Howard Garner has just finished writing. his alibiography d handed it to his wife. When she gave him a questioning k, he'replied: Why, you see, my dear, I don't tell white . Mine are all in technicolor. One boy that 'made good' selling the Brooklyn bridge was I Slater. Why, he has more brains in his little finger than has in his whole head. ln New York City is Sally Bartley, who has married into wealth and society lNO! he wasn't from Drumrightl and who has just returned from her winter home in Florida. At the Kit Kat Club, Reba Stroud, still the center of Ah-traction, is the hostess. Gene Hinton and his Jumpin' Jivers are furnishing the music.

Betty McNair, better known as the girl with the iron lungs, is the only lady tobacco auctioneer in the world! She runs a tobacco plantation in Virginia. Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation. Well, Lucretia Maggard has traveled and now she talks like a revolving door. Down in Tennessee Ivan Hull is a country doctor. His office hours are from pain in the morning 'til groan at night. His neighbor- and the justice of peace in that community is Dick Facker.

That is a French name, but you and I would know her as Celestine Goodman. ' At the door of Van Snoots, we hear a corrugated voice and look around to see Otis McLaughlin, who is waiting for his wife. He's straining his conversation through a six-bit cigar andthas a diamond ring on each hand. Wow! Frankie White, as gay and optimistic as a seed catalogue, and tomboistrous Jewell Presnell are running an ostrich farm in Louisiana. The vagabond of the class is Wallace Johnson. He intended to be a great man but his studies were only pursued and never effectually overtaken. Norma Redding is on the staff of the Dallas Sun offering advice to the love-Iorn.
