1949 CLASS PROPHECY C Continued Q l le's managing a large pigeon farm and raising pigeons for Lowell llill's circus, said Cyril. After their visit, they went to f9harpe's Chorus Club where they saw many old school chums, in the chorus line. Included in the dance, were Shirley Bailey, Ruth Carlton, Sally Geyer, Mary Grimsey, Fat LaBelle, and .loann VVells. Doing a special number was Lillian Schubert. They got ready to leave and collected their hats from the hat girl, Diane Miller. They hailed a jet taxi and were driven to the hotel by the taxi driver. Blanche tionder. They finally went back to the hotel to get a good night's rest. W'aking up bright and early the next morning, they were served breakfast by .luanita Karr. Finally they started on the third and last lap of their journey. At last, they reached the mysterious and romantic moon. They parked their rocket ship in Happy VValsh's parking lot, run by Ruth Walsli. From Ruth, they learned that Elizabeth Cain and Gene King were in the hospital suffering from heartaches. Their two nurses were Wlanza Lane and Caroline Milchman. After visiting the hospital, they went to Tarman's Department Store, run hy Dorthea Tarman. As they stopped at the souvenir counter, they were waited on by Bonnie Moran, one of the clerks. After having made numerous purchases, they decided to begin their return trip to the earth. They hastened to the parking lot to check out their rocket ship. After refueling the rocket ship, they pulled the starting lever and in a blinding flash of light, they were off into space on their return trip to the earth. The ship was set on remote control, after traveling several million miles. Cyril then decided to inspect the ship and to his great amazement, he discovered a stowaway, who was none other than Patsy Lathrop. VVhen she was given the third degree, she reluctantly revealed that she thought this was the quickest way to reach the gas station on planetoid 33312, where her ardent lover was waiting for her. From this blissful spot, they continued, full speed, to the earth, which ended their exciting, eventful journey. The 1949 llirror
