LEA© • Excitement is in tlie air as June 21, 1963, ap- proaches. The entire city of East Orange is juhilant over the dedication of its hcautiful, new high school. On this very same day the illustri- ous class of ' 43 is to hold its reunion and hanquet in the gigantic, glass-walled cafeteria designed hy Rohert O ' Sullivan, world famous architect. The dedication and l)anquet have hcen head- lined for the last three weeks in Rol)ert Wilder- man ' s paper, the East Orange Times, while the rest of the puhlicity has been competently han- dled hy George Beekman and Janis Jordan, two of the best known pulilicity agents in the trade. Invitations were sent out inider the careful supervision of Marilyn Friedman, who is known as the Elsa Maxwell of her day. These were given special consideration by Postmaster Gen- eral Paul Mack, who made sure each one reached its destination. Now that all the preparations liave been taken care of, the wonderful day finally arrives, and who should be the first to appear but the famous racing pilot, Richard Driiry, zooming out of the clear, blue sky in his latest model Sherman and Stewart Su] er-8-Rocket Speedster. Soon the asphalt landing field on the spacious roof of the building is completely hidden by the numerous rocket cars and planes, which are brought down safely tinder the able management of Inter- Urban Air Traffic Director Yi inton Huthwaite. Arriving in a beautiful red, wiiite, and blue rocket ship witli a militarv escort is the Presi- dent of our country coming to see tlic most modern high school in our nation and to give one of his Electro-Heater chats. Many other celebrities have also arrived and will be men- tioned at the approjjriate time. The escalators are jammed as the alumni pour into the huge, multi-colored corridors. Every- one is busy trying to remember the faces of yesterday or relating experiences of the happy years he spent inside the ivy-covered walls of dear old E. O. H. S. In the luxurious lounges provided for the stu- dents. Governor Louis Faust is in earnest con- versation with Rita Leventhal. the famous dress designer of Pierre ' s, and General Richard Sheri- dan, hero of the Battle of the China Seas. In another corner are Victor Fucci, the greatest centerfielder the New York Yankees ever had. and Arthur Goodman, the World ' s Lightweight champion, discussing the splendid playing ex- hibited by Sue Smith in the National Golf Tournament. A warning light is seen throughout the school signifying an announcement is going to be made over the Prochazka Public Address System. The pleasing voice of Richard Pennstrom, famed news analyst, kindly asks all those present to step into the corridor and stand on the inner lane, which will then transport them to the auditorium for the afternoon ' s program. Paul Lochart and John Stokes, co-winners of the Briscoe Scientific .4ward. invented this ingenious method of traveling from one i)lace to another. As the group reaches the asseud)ly they are handed a program of the afternoon and evening events by a Lupia and Jacobus Automatic Robot. Then they are quickly seated in the immense hall under the guidance of Charles Sauter a nd Richard Bradford, who are the founders of the American Society for the Benefit of All Red- heads. Great spot-lights are focused on the stage, the audience becomes silent, and tlie show is about to begin. Page Twelve
