THE ECHO 19 4 9 a add prophecy The Class of 1949 is about to disclose the aspects twenty years from now for all its brilliant and out- standing members, for. strange as it may seem, each and every one has become outstanding during this period of time. This broadcast is accomplished by the use of the newly invented two-way television set created by that well-known radio announcer. Ronald Whittaker. It was set up in our ultra-modern televis- ion station at Sumner High under the supervision of its owner. Mr. Robert Foster. The wealthy Mr. Fos- ter is believed to be considering enacting classic plays over television. But now our special set. which picks up any place at any time, switches to New York City where we witness the gala opening of Walter Hill’s stupendous bakery. Our old friend is now maker of the finest pastries in the world. It has been said that the Hill Co. will supply enough bakery products for the whole city. While we ' re in this great city where we spent our class trip, we shall visit the world premier of “Gone With the Breeze,” starring Esther L’Amour, formerly Miss Esther Morton of our great little town of Hol- brook. Among the list of great stars to entertain at this show is the renowned opera singer. Mary Gara- bedian. She has made a special trip from France, where she was finishing her world tour to perform tonight. Also featured in New York is the grand opening of the World ' s Fair, where the newly-manufactured cars, designed by Windy” Bettencourt are on display. Besides other special features, the car is outfitted with a horn which resounds with the complete scale. Since we are already here, let’s watch the departure of the Super Queen Mary on another good-will tour. Could it be that because Rita Mack was the D. A. R. Good Citizen in 1949 she was able to get where she is at present 5 For there we see her accompanying the President of the U. S. as his special and confidential secretary. After observing this magnificent opening, we dial to Washington, D. C., where the Celtics have just beaten the Washington team for the U. S. professional basketball championship. Bob Johnston, their high- scoring forward, broke loose again with 45 points, and is seen receiving the trophy. Being in Washington, let’s take a short glimpse of the Supreme Court, which is in session. Well, what do you know? Sitting in his finest robe and with his most dignified expression, is George Hanson, whose deep voice is most effective in his chosen profession. The attorney for the defense, Mr. Roland Hinckley, a most famous crime lawyer, is delivering a stirring closing speech. We know he’ll win this and any other case he undertakes. A special flash from Boston has been received. Miss Barbara Hollstein, a former teacher at M. I. T., has i been made its first woman president. This honor was bestowed on our friend, Barb, because of her brilliant mind and marvelous teaching ability. And something else! The discovery of a new element, Vinium, more powerful than Radium, was made recently. After many many years of hard study and work by our past genius of the class, the great Chemical Engineer, Mr. John Vining, is also being honored at the inauguration of his classmate, Barbara, at M. I. T. The latest and luckiest winner of the $20,000 prize awarded by the “Truth or Consequences” radio pro- gram is touring the U. S. as one of her prizes: hence we dial Miss Marilyn Barton, Houston, Texas, where she is being met by her former classmate, that wealthi- est of oilmen, Mr. Kent Callahan, whose oil fields are now one of the wonders of Texas. Both are on their way to visit at the newly-built U. S. Hospital in Houston, the Head Nurse, who is our old friend, Dorothy Marble. Dot received this position at the center of all the hospitals in the country because of her marvelous work in the fight against Cancer. i 1 2 }
