A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE One day in the year 1957, we were in the chemistry lab experimenting with atomic energy. As we poured an unknown quantity into one of the test tubes - -BOOM there was an explosion. When the smoke had drifted away, we looked about us and things had a strange appearance. Looking at the calendar, we noticed that the year was 1967. Confused and dazed, we walked out of the lab. Walking down t h e hall we saw someone busy at a desk. After looking more closely we recognized DAYNA WHITT busy cor recting English papers. Venturing further down the hall we met old chrome - dome LOUDERMILK with books stacked high in one arm, and a boy by the ear marching toward a classroom. Peering into the biology lab we saw PATSY LINK- OUS, famous biologist, displaying her re- known collection of beetles. Suddenly the lights went out and we were told when they come on again that they had been repaire d by the school elec- trician, RONNIE LAWSON. We were even more confused when we looked out the win- dow and saw HASSEL SUMNER in his new Bermuda gym suit, teaching a physical ed- ucation class the fundamentals of kicking a football. We decided to go downstairs, but were scared and dumbfounded when we noticed the escalator. Overcoming the feeling, we reached the bottom floor and heard a loud commotion coming from the office. We looked inside and could see no one, but the name over the door told us that RONALD WORKMAN was principal. Banging at the typewriter in the outer office was ETHEL WOOD. We left the school and things become more and more confused. We walked to what we thought was an airport, but dis- covered upon arriving there that it was the newDublin Flying Saucer Base. Going into the base we found five-star general, RAN- DOLPH EPPERLY, giving orders to Pvt. DONALD SMITH on the proper way to peel potatoes . Just off the saucer skidway, we noticed a telescope. We looked through in the di- rection of Fairlawn City, and noticed im- mediately the very modern building which had a sign over it reading, Tony ' s Atomic Gas - -Owner, TYRONE LONG. Turning the telescope back to Dublin we saw CHARLIE LITTLEFIELD ' S pharmacy. Coming out of the pharmacy was ANNETTE McDANIEL with two sets of twins by her side. Next to the pharmacy we noticed the Dublin Medical Building, and getting into his jet Cadillac was Dr. ROBERT BRUCE and his nurse, IRENE HOLLINS WORTH. Looking westward, we noticed that the Dublin Theater was showing the Atomic- scope Production Don ' t Be Cruel. It was the story of a famous Rock and Roll singer of 1957, starring the screens newest idol, KENNETH ALLISON. Looking further, we noticed that John Cameron was interviewing DOROTHY Me PEAK and PEGGY PODRUCHNY, famous diamond experts just returned from Africa. They were in front of the Lady Wrestler ' s Gym where Champion BETTY HAYES was trainer. We turned from the telescope and things began to grow foggy. We shook our heads to try and clear them when we discovered we were again in the chemistry lab. Taking a look at the calendar, we found that it said 1957. Now we are confused, was this just a dream about the future or could it really be true. Who knows ? ? Patsy Linkous Charles Littlefield
