9'Qf ss sf 4 v g 1 A '05-as? p llllu pp mllllw ai It was only yesterday that we saw the class of 'LB graduate and we murmured that we would l e o see them as they would be in '58, Suddenly a small elf stood in front of us, he told us to hold his hand, come ith him, and we should see just that! Our first view was of a convention. Drawing closer, we saw--was it possible?--yes, Doyle Pickett. We got there in time to see a rotten tomato smash into Doyle's face. Someone didn't like his speech on what he would do if he were governor of New York. Afterwards we rushed up to give him moral courage and saw Donna and their twins wiping off the tomato. Donna and Doyle had married soon after her graduation. Again the elf lead us. He pointed and we looked--then we saw a green cab. Being curious we went closer, a familiar voice said, nTaxi, ladies?W It was Wayne Tincher. At first he had had a trucking job and later he had bought a small interest in a cab company. We were invited to his wedding which was to be the next week, but since we were in a hurry we thanked him for his invitation and journeyed on. The cab-faded and another view appeared. A school teacher, glasses, ruler, etc. towered over a small frightened boy. We rushed in to help and saw that it was URonnien Tharp. The bell rang suddenly and we were smothered by small dive bombers. Recess!! During the quietness, Ronnie explained that he had taken up teaching about nine years previous For the last three of the nine he had been trying to marry a pretty, red-headed, British girl. Ronnie said he thought he might be succeeding. Suddenly instead of the school room we were in a large control room. Still in the dark we saw someone coming toward us, it was Jack Anderson. He told us we were at radio station S.N.O.R.E. of which he was president. Also we learned he was still a confinmed bachelor and had received his training in the anmy. Just then an announcement came over the megaphone, HCalling all women, Calling all women! Mr. l.M.A. Dope lost his false teeth. Last seen chattering down Maine Street. Mr. Dope is tired of soup! That is all! That is alll Just then we heard the Hgoosu of some contented babies. Turning around we saw nDick Girton and Peggy playing with their quintuplet daughters in their New York apartment. Ouch! Dick let out a yelp--one of the quintuplet's had pulled his hair. Dick was now a professional ball player for the HDoggers.H Dick and Peggy hoped to hear the pitter patter of a small boy's feet around the house soon. He had been working on a sleeping potion to be administered by telepathy that would put Peggy to sleep and prevent her from waking when he came in at two in the morning. Next the elf took us to the mansion of Dorothy Stoner Henson. It seemed that Keith lost the race. Junior Dorothy's husband, is owner of a nylon factory. Dorothy was quite busy at home with the care of four lovable C?5 children. ' We began shivering, blinking our eyes we looked again. It was Alaska and Marion Hiller was coming toward us. It seems after a broken engagement six years back, Marion had homesteaded in Alaska. He told us he had bought a new diamond for a pretty, blue-eyed girl. He had discovered gold on his farm and all mothers with u married daughters had both eyes on his every move. Poor Marion!! The elf intervened again and we were flying through the air. We tried to come down easy but made a three-point landing on Betty Cash. We got up munmuring apologies, but Betty just laughed and asked us to eat with her. While enjoying a delicious meal we learned Betty had taken s job with an insurance company. Betty found herxboss was nice, the boss found out Betty was wonderful so they were married in a small country church. Clove at first sightll In a short time they were to move to Canada where they would set up a business of their own. We soon were off again with the elf. Not watching where we were going we suddenly stopped in mid-air, then bu ped to the ground. KOuch!D Looking up to see the cause of this we read a sign NEastham k Gorham beauticians.' A couple of girls ran out to see what was the trouble. They were Wanda Lou Hurst and NBiddyN Gorham Vaughn. Nothing would do but that we should go in. It was a beauty salon like the girls had always wanted, Suddenly the room was filled with war-hoops, in tore three boys brandishing tomahawks. Biddy and Wanda ran to the boys and ouieted them. They told us they were married in l9h9 in a double wedding, and came to Hollywood. Their husbands own the C.H.C. movie shows. Again we were whisked off. This time we whirled to the front of a blacksmith shop. Peeping in we saw Bob Jones Quiting work, he came over to us. After the Udo-you-remembersu he told us he had met a Ncutien in college and had come to Phoenix, Arizona, her home town, to work. We were informed he was the proud father of three bouncing baby boys. Triplets!!! From a picture pr minently displayed in the shop we could see that they were the very replica of their father. We gave him due congratulations. Drowsily we went to a hotel, got a room, and soon were snoring C?J loudly. A sharp bell brought us to the ceil- ing--we mean our feet! We were on a small farm in Ohio. The bell was to call HBobH Henderson in to dinner. We saw a pretty red head gently K?l tapping her foot. It seems this was the third time Anita had called Bob. Six sleepy-headed cherubs f?????D came to the door. Bob said Anita was his one and only red head. The children had black hair. Bob had successfully grown two pu pkins to a vine and hoped to produce shelless green peas and sweet gooeeberries. The elf appeared and asked if we felt refreshed. With our answer 'YesH we were off to Indianapolis. We came to a ana11.restaurant and since we were starved, in we went. We sat down and to our surprise Mary Jane Nichols sat across ., ----iy
