for sports. In fact, he disciplines himself to at least, two and even three games of croquet a week! What an engaging picture the little professor-like man made in the next booth! He was busily lecturing his favorite subject -- history. Howard Owen!! Who would ever have thought that Howard would turn out to be a professor of history? He prides himself upon the fact that he brings a new and different lecture to every class! He attributed this surprising amount of energy to the fact that he had been taking atomic pills for some time. Next on display were many building plans which indicated a vivid imagination on the part of the architect. Upon examination 1 learned that the successful architect was George Kauchak. Many of his house plans were for large families. 1 was informed that George was trying for a larger family than his parents had. In fact, he couldn’t be present at the exhibition today because four of his younger children were ill with whoop- ing cough. It seems he plans to retire just as soon as the first one is old enough to support the family. In the last booth 1 saw Lois Saylor demonstrating a new educational theory on primary children. Rumor revealed that Lois had an unhappy love affair with Howard Mulloy and so dedicated her life to future genera- tions. As for Wallace Wayne, he went to college and studied to be a teacher and was comparatively successful. However, this profession became dull because he could out-argue any of his students. So he entered politics, and is now running for governor of Indiana. The female sex always did fascinate him, and you could tell by his appreciative glances that he hadn't changed much in that respect. He did assure me, however, that he was going to settle down soon -- say in the next few years! ••Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!and the class of 49 adds another dollar to their pockets! Characters -- all of them!

blondifth middle-aged woman. She waa Lola Hunaley whom I recognised by an exact replica who sat beaide her. Yea, Loia married Junior Galbreath with whom she went steady two years in high school. Junior waa busy demonstrating their completely automatic kitchen. He men- tioned that atomic energy made this possible; in fact, Loia now could get an entire meal without getting out of her chair. This was her dream come true! And apparently she still loved to eat as much as ever! In the next booth a tractor was being displayed by none other than Alfred Huhnke, Jr. He was explaining how he ran this tractor with atomic power rather than gas. Also, he had installed a ••hopped-up motor so that it would operate much faster. He gets his farming done much more quickly, and therefore, is able to follow his hobby of auto racing. Last year at the Speedway he came in second; this year he ex- pects to come in first. I didn't learn too much about the women in his life but understood there had been several. And eventually one came a- long whom he could not resist for long. Next, I encountered a middle-aged muscular-looking woman giving a permanent in a rapid, efficient manner to a young girl. The information on her card said her name was Thelma Sacks, and she was a successful hair dresser in New York. Whispers around me disclosed the fact that she still followed her hobby of lady wrestling occasionally. Also, 1 understood that Wayne will still be welcomed by Thelma with open arms when and if he appears. My eyes then caught sight of an attractive matronly figure who sat at a desk with a automatic telephone at her ear. The woman was Alice Mandeville. I learned she is doing secretarial work and was. at the moment, waiting for her boss who was always late. She informed me her matrimonial affairs were not open for discussion and before I could carry the conversation further, in rode her boss on his bicycle -- an eccentric character indeed! I couldn’t have been more right! Shocked but maintaining an upright position, 1 recognized Alice Mandeville’a boss -- Richard Gross -- same twitching, tongue-in-cheek smile! It seems that after graduation he gave his position as coach back to Mr. Siegesmund. He had received all the breaks and was now president of Allis-Chalmers. It would hove been Interesting to see how he managed Alice! He smiled at the tall, slender, and slightly bald man next to him whom I recognized as Dick Vick. He was displaying some of his latest designs for automobiles, and Boss Gross told me Dick was a leading car designer for General Motors. As for Morilyn -- his childhood sweet- heart -- no one knows who Became tired of waiting for whom. Dick’s favorite drawings are eccentric designs for very old cars. He was quite an athlete in his youth, and I understand he hadn't yet lost his enthusiasm 13
