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 }

THE ECHO 19 4 9 Out in sunny California at the summer training home of Boston ' s famous girls ' basketball team, the Amazons, we find Tessie Cassani, who is hard at work teaching this team all she knows about zone defense. We know now that with Tessie’s expert attention, they will win that for which they are striving — the World ' s Championship. today. While in France we switch to the home of the Andre Models. The owner of this most famous model agency is Miss Elinor Anderson, who person- ally trains all her girls. The loveliest of all these most beautiful girls in the world is that gorgeous blond. Miss Thea Fisher, who has just signed a contract with the Foster Television Co. It takes quite a while to turn the dial to focus it on that little country of Japan, where we are able to see General Charles Brown at the capital, Tokio. He. as the representative of the U. S., is signing The Pacific Peace Pact,” a special peace treaty with the Japanese. General Brown, who has long been sta- tioned at the head of all forces in the Pacific, is a favor- ite with all his troops. Admiral George Fader is now giving his address to the many people gathered around the open square where the peace pact is being signed. He brought his huge fleet into the harbor only this morning, but said he wouldn’t have missed seeing his old friend, Charlie,” for anything. Dorothy Murphy is at present touring Europe with her millionaire husband, the handsome Maharajah of Mandura. We see her in Paris at the special exhibi- tion of that newly found wonder, Emil Rosenberg, photographer, at whose studio were found the most unusual pictures of landscape known to the world Let ' s take a trip now to a more southerly position. Africa! Here, Sumner ' s answer to Howard Hughes, Fred Hall is sponsoring the construction of the world ' s largest airport, as huge as an ordinary city. His engi- neer, the man most in demand in the U. S., Mr. James Peat is reported to have stated that the airport will be available for any type plane at any time. We return at last to this thriving metropolis that once was our little home town. Let’s stop awhile to discuss its progress with one of the city’s most promi- nent figures, Miss Virginia Martin. She is head of the women’s club here and is a candidate for Select- man in the coming election. Thus we return to Sumner High, knowing you must have enjoyed this revelation, and conclude this special broadcast of the Class of 1949 as of June 10. 1949. DOROTHY MURPHY ii n
