Telecast of the Future A glance at the calendar tells us that it's now 1966. Fifteen years have brought about many changes in the class of '51. As we cruise along in our flying saucer, recently developed by the Schmid Research Laboratory, we turn on the color television in time to catch the last of the Tom Bollinger Show. Tom is showing his age a bit, greying at the temples. You can imagine our surprise when they switch us to Lake Success for the report of the German Af- fairs committee on the progress of the United Democratic Government. And who do you sup- pose we see speaking, this time not only For democracy but about it, our old schoolmate, Ruthie Bir. Sitting next to herjbehind a little name-plate that says German Delegate is Hermann Miller. We seern to have been carried away and missed our turn at Chicago and must take the long route to New York. This way it takes fifteen minutes. We park our Schniid-0-Saucer in our private hanger at Charlie Ernst's brand new parking lot. In the terminal Deloris Davis, Char1ie's hostess, pours a tantalizing cup of coffee. After that welcome refresher we step outside and hail a cab. Much to our dismay, the driver of this beat up Buick hack is J. L. Daugherty who tells' us that the New Yorkers enjoy his ill-fated thrill ride. Jay says he is getting better mileage, GJ, from Charlie Hamrnond's new Texishell gasoline. Surprising enough, we are still in one piece when we arrive at our destination, Dick's , successor to Nick's Restaurant owned and operated by the one and only Dick Scher. This is the meeting place for all the famous celebrities. Up front, sitting at a table eyeing some of Dick's chorus line, featuring the beautiful Ann Friedman, Marilyn Stoffel, and Norma Young, is our old buddy, the wealthy retired playboy, Mert Zahm. As you know, Mert made his millions posing for Hadacol ads. After being escorted to our table by headwaiter, Paul Kline, we were seated and prepared to enjoy a wonderful evening. We see Coach John Locht of the Minneapolis Lakers has finally arrived from out cele- brating his team's 'sparkling victory over the Harlem Globe Trotters in Madison Square Gar- den, by walking his dog, Jiggs, around Times Square. Pacing the Globe Trotters in their glorious defeat is Pat Landrigan, the first white player to make the squad. Crash! Bang! Boom! Tinkle! There goes Paul Johnson, Dick's favorite waiter, to the floor with a resounding thud sending a piece of Rita Bickel's delicious lemon pie flying to a perfect bulls-eye on General John Yaste's face, getting some meringue on his freshly polished medals. John doesn't mind about his face, but, oh, those medals! He just received a new one last week when he was given command of all the National Guard Units. ' While one of Dick's henchmen was cleaning up the mess, Louie Scher made his grand entrance, flipping a one hundred dollar tip to the hat girl, Pat Millner. Louie just flew in in his space ship, Clem VI , from his rolling Texas ranch where he has just had the good fortune of finding a uranium mine not more than a mile from his oil fields. Mark Reust, Louie's capable chauffeur, is celebrating the fact that he just set a new record by bringing in the super charged Clem VI from Houston, Texas, in twenty-three minutes, thirty-seven and eight-tenths seconds! There is so much excitement around us that we almost miss the feature attraction of the floor show. By this we mean none other than the hotfooted dance team, Nancy Pfister and Jim McNamara. Next on the program is Albina Crocesi, the talented comedienne, giving her hilarious imitation of Jerry Lewis. Well, at last, here comes Paul Johnson with our meal. And what a meal it isg big, juicy venison steaks shipped in direct from Canada where just yesterday they were part of a deer roaming happily in the forest. Early this morning he was trapped hopelessly by Phil Martin and his trusty Red Ryder BB-Gun. Here at the restaurant these choice bits were broiled to their delicate goodness under the ever watchful eyes of Chef Susie Johnson. By this time we are ready to call it a night. We enjoyed every minute of it, especially our renewing old acquaintances. But Dick is ready to close and we reluctantly leave. As we are leaving we are forced to duck for fear of being hit by one of the more unwelcome guests whois being politely thrown out by the bouncer, Tom Kindler. 17

Memodes YEARS AND YEARS AGO--no, just four years ago, in 1947, twenty-nine BEWITCHED and BEWILDERED Freshies came WANDERIN' into THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE, namely St. Mary's. Here they were greeted by the smiling face and winning PERSONALITY of Sister Clara who soon made them feel right at home. BASHFUL though they were, they were determined to WIN OR LOSE. As the day came for the annual initiation, the cry was SHALL WE GATHER BY THE RIVER? On the BANKS OF THE WABASH the boys were forced to take a dip in the COOL, CLEAR QU WATER. fOr was it the MISSISSIPPI MUD?j With the coming of their second year in high school the Sophs found that LIFE GETS TEDIOUS or more so. IT ISN'T FAIR, said they, that we should have so much HOME- WORK. But, NEVERTHELESS, they braved the STORMY WEATHER by working NIGHT AND DAY. WOULDN'T IT BE FUN to be a Senior and have no more homework than they? Maybe, SOMEDAY--well, I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I? they said. DEARIE, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN the Rams beat the Vikes in the finals of the Sectional? That was anything but a SILENT NIGHT. When the SCHOOL DAYS rolled around AGAIN and after REMINISCIN' over THE THINGS WE DID LAST SUMMER, the Juniors got down to hard work. This year they had a new spon- sor, Sister Amadeus, and as they put it, WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR? It was the WHISPERING HOPE of every Junior that they would SOONER OR LATER have enough money to finance the Junior -Senior Reception. The ENCHANTED EVENING came and everyone CONFESSed that dancing to the music of Harvey Collins' Orchestra was a very LOVELY WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING but WHY DID IT HAVE TO END SO SOON? The Sophisticated Seniors had now acquired that I-know-MORE-THAN-YOU-KNOW-look. Their faces beamed with SMILES when they entered the Senior room and met their new spon- sor, Sister Frances Louise. The first of their many activities was the Freshman Initiation. Without being too rough on them, they gained revenge for their own initiation. TO THINK YOU'VE CHOSEN ME! the Freshmen cried as they saw their Senior taskmasters coming after them. The Seniors set the date for their annual hayride and decided to have it COME RAIN OR COME SHINE. ALL THROUGH THE DAY they prayed for TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OF SUN- SHINE but when it came time to leave, they learned that INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN MUST FALL.. Despite the RAIN this was marked in their book of MEMORIES as a SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. IF YOU HAD ALL THE WORLD AND ITS GOLD it still wouldn't add up to the HAPPY HOURS the Class of '51 has experienced in its four years at H. C. H. NOW IS THE HOUR that we must say good-by. SO LONG, IT 'S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW YOU! ! 5' 'G We F 1., w .wtf f d A fxr I u f? ' 'Q jf 5 A W . 4 05,65 f Q X 9 a fi 'HW' 5 ' X 0 ' mi? 16
