THE FROIEECY The other night I had the craziest dream. It was a pecu- liar dream, one in which I visualized all of ny classmates. It was in I960 when I saw Virginia Baumgartner walking down the street, she wasn ' t accompanied by M Van l£ierlo, hut by a soldier, Harvev Winde. I seemed to drift into one of the Holly- wood Studios and there was Bud Abbott and Lou Coctello having a Quarrel. Abbott got mad, walked out on Costello, so Andj? Zeigler stepped up t o take his place, and v e must say it was the Per fect role for Andy 1 As I went strolling through the studio there was Cxrace Schicke playing opposite Tyrone Power in My Dream Man. ' Also on the set watching was the up and comnig stars Alan Ladd, Gig Young, Vernon Browning and Van Haf- ner. Suddenly there was a great disturbance over head, and the director, Arlyn Witte, shouted Cut. We looked up in amaze- ment and saw the Human Airplane , Bob Nichols , being piloted bv the famous woman avi tress, Irma Krepps. I noticed the air- piane wa s soaring toward the Blimp , Lorraine Scher rer. irma , having her mind elsewhere collided vd.th the Blimp. As mother related to me the next morning that I sat up in bed and screamed, it must have been when I visualized this happening. I tossed and turned av hilc and then I was at school. I don ' t know how I got there, but there I was. The teacher of the class was Miss Betty Erb, she was vrearing horn-rimmed glasses and her hair was fixed in a hard knot in the back, and who do you think she was teaching, no one but Anna Reiser I It seems as though poor Anna has not yet completed her course. After looking at this amazing event, I turned around, and Lo and Behold I there ms Harold Lewis laying a new sewer Ime. At first, I wasn ' t quite sure v;hether it was Harold, not until he wiped the sv eat from his brow and said Hello l I stopped to talk with him for a while and he informed me that Charles Eamen egger and Charles Berg were running rival businesses in Tn ' i-ht ' s ' . ear and Gloria Bacher was purchasing from both of t.iecx. He also, toTcT ' me tEaT ' Lorraine Pausch had fallen heir to a larfte chain dime store. Hi rold said he had to get back to his digging, so I walked dovm the street and stopped long enough go buy a paper from C larence Gray . I leaned against a post and began reading the sport section. There v £s an ar- ticle which drew my attention. It said that Delores Ungel had broken her arm when trying to catch h ball and had missed it a s usual. I turned the page tnd came upon the edvortisoment .3ej.lion. There vffis a complete page advertising the great skJter, J L-es (lii££o) H olliday , and a picture of him in one of his j rJ cefui movements. I looked at my watch and sav; it v as noon, so I donided to eat. All oi the restaurants were closed, there

Edna also declared that aome of our former classmates held positions in her cabinet , the Secretary of War, Mrs . Myna Ald - . j|idge-, who- + ■ ' trough her many years of experience ' s aQvise!r fo war situations and her high aocial prominents helped her climb the ladder of success, and that Shirley Moser was the Secretary of Agriculture. It seems Shirley must have had to do some hard studying on farming.. Ju$t then the Chief Justice. of the Su- preme court came walking in, and to my great surprise I found it was no other than Charles Bezdek. I asked Charlie if he would mind accompanying me to the nearest Naval Training Sta- tion. Charlie said that would be glad to join us-, • We were then on our way i a jeep with Marcella Mackey, Lieutenant of the WAVES asE our driver and what a ride we had. ' On the way vie picked up the two WAAC ' S, Elamay Bles t and Charlotte Stolle . They were representing the V AAC ' S and were going to a special demonstra tion, being held at the train- ing station. V hen we arrived , we asked Irma Forshee , the ush- erette, what the program was about. She informed us that the subject wes, Tiow to Keep Fit. As we glanced at the person whowas representing Body Beautiful , we found out it was no other than James Chilton . Then the bugle sounded and up the aisle came Don. Barklage with his troop of Boy Scouts. TOie program lasted about two hours. After that Charlie invited me to go to the Winkleman ' a Night Club, Marcella droveus there in the Jeep and Jean Sutton showed us to our table. We looked at the menu and Darwin Moss took our order. Soon the cigarette girl, who happened to be Eileen Johnson , saw us and stopped to talk. She told us that Jackie roepping and Norma Marty decided to make their home permanently at the Spinning Wheel Skating Rink, as they were now the owners. The band leader, Alfred Geisler , directed his band while Arbutus Willis Dell , the s ng bird of the South, gave forth with one or ner famous warbles of the old South. Next on the program was a quartet composed of Henrietta Johnson , Shirley McLean , June Henne , and Aline Schilling . At the table on the other- side of the club, we sav; Valeria Cocoa and her husband. They seemed to be amused by something over in the corner and we saw LaVerne Guehne trying to steal the show and she seemed to be Soing a good ' job of it, because people were surrounding her on all sides. She was trying to imitate the band leader, as she always had a liking for such things. In another far cor- ner was Bloadell Powell with Robert Schmaltz on one side and Bill Neely on the other. It seems as though she hadn ' t mufLe up her mind. Charlie then went to the check room and got our rrans from the check girls Wanda Scott and Doroth - NeviD.s.
