CLASS HIOPHECY The main reason for our journey' throughout the states was to secure information for the Who's Who in El Paso . The train on which we were traveling made its first stop at a small town in Missouri. Who should we see there but the former Mar gey Aldrich, who ownoa the largest farm in those parts. The huge farm of sixteen acres was managed by Murgey and her ten children. On board the train wo met several celebrities. We were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of Lyle Crowe, who is famous for his book Hovr to be a Loud Mouth in Six Easy Lessons”. Incidentally he is married to that quiet girl, Helen Reeves, who never gets a word in edgewise (we don't believe it.) Also on board was the glamorous ohorus girl,Bubbles Nohren, who has just won great acclaim for her masterpiece in literature How to Win Your Man With One Little .Vink . The conductor told us that the great movie director,Norman Fanther, was traveling to New York to read over his new picture Better Late rhan Never”.As luck would have it, we did not get to see him. While eating our dinner, a telegram was delivered to us and to our joy, -lash Gordon, the Modem Suporman, was the proud father of a five-pound girl. The telegram seid that the new parents had nameo the baoy Mary Kathryn. (We wonder whioh Mary Kathryn won outj After passing through many states, we finally reached Hew York where we were greeted by Mayor La Sparks. Our first stop was at the exclusive Pot-Bo hotel which was managed by Cleo Potter and her bosom pal, Evelyn Bohlandcr, who,in her spare time, raises Chester White pigs in her penthruse garden. Thru the window, we could see a band of Sioux Indians performing. Among the players was Ross Connely, who was fondly beating his bass drum, whioh, by the way, he had named Pocohantas. That afternoon,the Chambermaid came to our room to clean and we had a nice long chat with her. It was nice seeing Joanna 3ailey again. Joanna worked in the hotel in the daytime and sang at Carnegie Hall at night. Mayor LaSparks oarae back and gave U3 tickets to a concert given oy William Eastman, who was playing his famous arrangement of ”Chop Sticks . Also appearing on the same program was Faulina Stimpert, who is notad as the only woman baes singer in the world. The next day while we were touring the city, the mayor told us that the fine lighting system of the city was due to the LampeLight whioh had been inventod by Junior 1 Gauger. Stopping at the R. 0. A. building we saw Jeanie Rutledge,the chewing gua queen, advertising for the Triplemint Program. Billy Kaufman,the darling of the airways .was also singing on that program. Her theme song was I'm Irresistiole . That night when we left our hotel, one of rhe first people wham we met was Vio-tor Wagner—in uniform. He said he was a ?• B. S. C. man. When we asked him what that meant he told us—foceral Bureau of Street Cleaners. We paased a five and ten cent store and saw two familiar faoes advertising Tru-House Foot foundation . They were Louise Parkhouse and 3ob PTuin who had toured the nation with their product. Going past a theater, we noticed that the great lover , Don Bagby, was playing Brett Rutier in The Wind Want Past . Co-starred with him was the great actress Aita Din-oan, who had the part of Variett. The mayor showed us the U. S. 0. Canteen and who should oe the head hostess but 81 oise Volz. Sne catered to all sailors, and one in particular. Helping her run the center were Margaret O'Connell and Juanita Miller, who were famous for their delicious doygh-nuts they served to the doughboys. Turning into a drug store, we nearly bumped into a fur be-deoked lady leading two Great Denes on a leash. We didn't get a chance to speak,but we know her to be tie ferns r Pat Smith. She had Just divorced her eleventh husband.At one time she had been the Countess of Potznaniaj now she was Patrioia Smith, Johnson,0'Hare,Balonaki,Kaldini, Brown, Whetiel, Olafson, Salono, Zolinski, Spretmouse, Jones. The nation had just elected a new president and Si Paso was oertainly proud of John Taylor, who won that honor. John never married (he always did dislike girlsJ)—-and Ethel Bill is the housekeeper at the White House. Charlotte Preae is new a very wealthy woman. Her invention, Frese's Favorite Pish food , won her great aoclaim all over the fishy world. She also owns several oil wells in Oklahoma. Since her husband is dead and she has no children, it is rumored she will leave her money to 81 Paso Township High Sohool, to pay off the deot left by her class. Sane of the '43 graduates remained at home and beca:.ie well-known. Lorraine Sands is running the Panola store with the able assistance of her husband—you knew whoJ
