V Peace had come during our Senior year at the Everett High School, and prosperity had followed peace. Let us look in a few years later and discover the effects of prosperity on the members of the class of ’46. We take our positions aboard the magic carpet and begin our journey. As we gain altitude, we are passed by Franklin Allen in his new Rocketship on his third trip to Mars. His co-pilot is Merrill Pee and a few of his passengers are Jim Siburt and John Trail who wish to make an analysis on the planet, and Mike Caro and “Tuffy” Miller who intend to set up a freight line. Patricia Weisel is acting as air hostess for them. The ship’s doctor turns out to be none other than the famed surgeon, Dr. Robert Sponsler. Looking below, we are amazed to find ourselves gazing upon the ashes of the Empire State Building. It seems as though Fire Chief, Donn Whetstone, although hot on the trail of Firebug, Bob Yetter, has been unable to prevent this great catastrophe. The chief is aided in his pursuit by that nationally well-known detective, Hilda O’Neal. Continuing over the Atlantic Ocean, we come in sight of the luxury liner, “Mermaid”, on her way to Europe. As we land on deck, we recognize Joyce Brady, who tells us that she, Marie Bowman, Dora Bennett, and Anita Mearkle are all going abroad for the summer. We walk along the deck for awhile and chance to see Jane Wilt and Jane Weicht working in the ship’s “Beauty Salon”. They tell us that they are keeping in touch with Doris Bayer and Edna Williams who have a Beauty Clinic in the heart of downtown Manhattan. At this point we are interrupted by the arrival of the captain of the ship, Donald Foor, and his chief engineer, Earl M A G I C Page twenty-one

Dibert, who, hearing that we were aboard, had come to welcome us. They took us to the engine room and tried to show us something about the operation of the ship. At the controls were Ross Walters, Jim Evans, and George Cornell who informed us that they had been working aboard the “Mermaid” for some time They also told us that Donald Horton had intended to come them, but at the last minute was called upon to take over the now flourishing business of J. H. Horton Son. We are invited to remain for dinner. On the way to the dining room, we pass through the sick bay. We are met at the door by none other than Dr. Charles LeVan who is delighted to see us. He introduces us to his staff of nurses, who, to our surprise, are our old classmates, Wilma May, Jeanne Gibboney, Elsie Mills, Mary Mountain, Thelma Vance, Ruth Cornell, Betty Imes, Louise Smith and Carolyn Shoemaker. Proceeding to the dining room, we are met by the headwaiter, Herbert Sipes, who directs us to the bar where we are served cocktails by Russell Lee, and he tells us that he has just received a letter from George Gibboney. George has taken over the Powers’ Models, and has invited him to the Gibboney Follies during the following month. We are to find out later that Pauline Clark, Kathleen Snyder, and Jean Barnett will be starring in this production. During dinner we find out the fortune of some of our other classmates from Betty Zimmerman who is making a business trip to Paris. She is going to copy some designs for a gown shoppe on Fifth Avenue owned by Marion Sparks and Bessie Brantner, and managed by Lura Means. She also tells us that she has heard from Eileen Clark who is now enjoying a vacation at Miami, Florida. After a delicious dinner, we went to the kitchen to congratulate the chef, Robert Bertram. Eager to be on our way, we again boarded our magic carpet and headed toward Europe. Upon arriving in Paris, we secured passes for the National Demonstration of Professional Talents. We recognized the ticket collector at the American Entrance as Clyde Morris and the hat check girl as Patsy Harclerode. We were ushered to our seats by Rawland Shoope, one of our old classmates. To add to our astonishment, Maxine King appeared as the cigarette girl. We found ourselves seated beside Emma Jean Stanley and Phyllis Brockey who informed us that they were taking advanced teaching at the University of Sorbonne. Turning our eyes to the entertainment, we were favored with a trio presentation. The three musicians were Jane Whetstone, Donald Lowry, and Ruth Sollenberger. Also on the program was the great national prize fighter, Gene Northcraft, who put on an exhibition for us. After the entertainment, as we were leaving the theater, we met Mr. and Mrs. Richard Van Horn who said they were spending their honeymoon here in Paris. Mrs. Van Horn is the former Dorothy Bloom. Before our return to America, we stopped at the Manspeaker Chemical Company where we watched Lucille Bussard working with Joe on a new experiment. We took our leave of Europe and returned to the United States the following day. Page twenty-tivo
