PROPHECY After a very enjoyable two hours, we prepare to leave the theater. In the lobby we talk to lim Carberry, the owner of the theater, and Pat Mundie, the well-known writer. While resting at the hotel, Ronnie Schmucker of the florist shop notifies us that the Rellinger Rose Shipment Cdeveloped by that eminent horticulturist, Betty Parsons, in honor of Robert Rellinger, hero of World War ID will be ready to supply us with corsages for the dance. ' Arriving at the dance hall, we notice a ring formed around the two dance specialists of the day, IoAnn Bickerton and Paul Fenwick. Serving the refreshments, we find lohn Herlan still dishing out the ice cream on a mass production basis. At one of the tables we see the noted woman senator, Phyllis Nease, and lames Kilburn, Secretary of the Exterior. As the dance comes to an end, the same old question arises, Do you have your plane here? Will you fly me home? Early the next morning we decide to change our regular routine and go to church Where the Reverend Ronnie Fitts will preside. Upon arriving we see Lois Wenz at the organ, While the altar boys, Lee Illig and Richard Lamy, light the candles. The church is hushed as Rev- erend Fitts starts his sermon, The Evils of Drink. After a two-hour sermon, Iimmy Ander- son and lohn Aungst pass the collection plate, before which we leave. To pass the afternoon we take in a concert at Duchscherer National Park. We find that the concert is being held between the statues of those two great historians, Lord Charles Marlak and Eldon Somers CLordD, who passed away as the result of the foolish answers of the graduating class of the year 1946. The first selection is the Waltz in Cir Minor followed by Mary the Loon, a sequel to Claire de Lune, which is played by Ianet Becker. Next on the program we find that Ronne Fiddler is going to sing a selection from Carmen. Realizing that that is too much for any normal person to stand, we slip out through the back of the park, only to find ourselves confronted by that talkative scientist, Roger Knuth. We talk to this eminent personality until we are rudely interrupted by lack Hollis and Roger Hancher, occu- pying the upper and lower sections of bench number A-3, presented to Long because of the shortage of housing facilities-Cthere have been rumors that people have even had to sleep on the beachj. We drop over to loe Pearson's Silver Peacock Cnamed in loving memories of the good old daysQ where we sip our cokes mixed by Moose Gilbert-an excellent jerk: soda, that is. We share our booth with Phyllis Nonenmacher and Shirley Kimble. In the next booth we find Pat Rankin and lanice Rappleye piping a maroon sweater with a large T on it. What's this-they're leaving as they notice Syd Holmberg and Steve Wiktorowski, Ken- more's contribution to the 1950 All-American Football Team. Hurrying back to our hotel, we put on our nylon dungarees and spun glass shirts. CThat was a joke, can you see through it?D These articles of clothing were designed by Rosemary Brownjohn, who works for the Shaeffer Clothing Corporation, managed by Duane Tucker. As we arrive at the Clam-bake, we are greeted by Alice Bartlett, the Ambassadress to Spain. She is accompanied by Don Hayes, the prominent lawyer. That exotic actress, Leslie Brecht, is found there with Marilyn Davidson, who is her companion. They have just arrived from F'l-cood-I-wood which recently replaced Hollywood. Ever since her experi- ence with the wolves on Nice and Tender Avenues, she has insisted that she be accompa- nied by her manager at all times. Her manager, Robert Crean, has had quite a bit of trouble beating off the autograph hounds, Donald Redman and Walter Zavitz. A blinding light is flashed in the middle of the group on the beach. We find it to be Mary Ellen Hipkins, photog- rapher, who is taking pictures for Life Goes to a Clam-bake. She snaps a picture of Ioan Ashe, lean Dunkelberg, Barbara Frost, and Nancy Warman opening clams. Dick Porter, after eating 999,999 clams, is still looking for a pearl. After a few pictures have been taken, and the clams have all been eaten, the groups split up. Bud Fleming, limmy McDermott, and Bob Hall are seen strolling down the beach with some hubba-hubba girls who are indis- tinguishable from this distance. Sally Campbell, Ella lohnson, Nancy Rauh and Will Still Cno relation to the late Stan Stillj go over to toast some marshmallows, and Audrey McGeachie goes down to the beach with loan Iacobs to take a dip in the moonlight. We realize that we once again have to leave Long Beach until our next weekend. As our helicopter rises above moonlit Lake Erie, we bid fond farewell to the ever-popu- lar mecca of Kenmorites, Long Beach. BARBARA Rrnsour BARBARA Boox 21

CLASS Here it is, Iuly, 1966, and as we leave our work at Timby's Department Store, the man- ager, Larry Partridge, expresses his regret that he cannot accompany us to that exclusive re- sort, that Canadian paradise, that haven of rest-Long Beach. We step into our Bobbie-car and tear across town, avoiding the hawk eyes of Inspector Tom McKeen of precinct number 854,946, Section XYZ. In a matter of seconds, we reach our exclusive hotel, The Swankmore, owned by Bill Bethmann and managed by Leslie Arnold. It is located on Highland and Delaware, previously the site of the Kenmore High School, which was destroyed by Carl Elliott, who went mad after being confined in room 324 for 500 nights. We take the elevator to the Sky-lite apartments on the 79th floor. Shirley Phelps, Winifred Guthrie, and Margaret Hertzberg, our hair, face, and nail artists, have already arrived. As we freshen up, our maid packs the trunks. Going on to the terrace we find that Howie Roetzer, our air chauffeur, has already arrived with our atomic-powered heli- copter. Giving him instructions, we begin our five-minute journey to Long. After eight long minutes, Cwe had engine troublej, we arrive at Long Beach airport, where we find Admiral Nicholson and General Williams conferring over the great problem of moving Long Beach to within a three-minute journey from Kenmore. Ieannine Cole, the stewardess, heartily agrees that this should be done. She thinks that if this could be arranged the school pupils could take a dip in the cool waters of Lake Erie during their lunch hour. We hail a taxi to take us to the Lakeside Hotel, where we hope to have a very enjoyable stay. Arvilla Layer, the taxi driver, informs us that we will have to share the ride with that well-known author, Arlene Larson, who wrote How to Get Along With Your Teachers in Ten Easy Lessons or Six Hard Ones, or Ten Nights' Detention. Arriving at the hotel, we enter the lobby and see the manager, who rings for Iohn Deney, the bell-boy, to take our luggage to our suite, just vacated by that well-known woman psychologist, Aileen Enright. Since she has had a few week-end guests, we notice Bill Wegener and Mark Gregoire taking down the pink and blue padding from the walls.. She tells us that Senator Morton Klaiber from New York State is having a few guests in and wishes us to join him later in the evening. After a brief rest and dinner in the Pine Room, we go to the reception where we meet lack Ross, coach of the Notre Dame football team, Pete Miller, coach of the track team, and David Rittenhouse, Chief String-Changer of Harvard's yo-yo team. Becoming bored with so many celebrities, we return to our own room and drift off to sleep. Bright and early the next morning, we don our bathing suits and leave for the beach. lerry Cameron and Nancy Steadman, the international swimming champions, accompany us. As we reach the white sands and blue waters, we find Sally Smith and Nan Miller posing for Dot Northup and Don Larson, celebrated artists for Esquire. Also on the beach we meet Doug Kelley and lim Helle, who are purchasing hot dogs from lack Tylee. Further down the beach we notice Ben Kraus, that handsome life-guard surrounded by a group of feminine admirers. When we have become sufficiently tanned, we return to the Coffee Shop, now managed by Chuck Schuch, whom we find conferring with Susan Scull over the grocery situation. After deciding to purchase from Werner's Grocery Store instead of from Stosh Westcott Cwho turned out to be quite the scroungerj, Chuck comes over to tell us that the new dance hall has posted its schedule for the summer, featuring Marc Clark's orchestra with Paul Hanson at the piano. Finding that we need some new clothes for the dance, we go to Sue Maundre1l's exclu- sive dress shop, to which Frances Carpenter has just returned from Paris with the latest styles. After selecting a few dresses, we go to Marilyn Cato's boardwalk store to buy some unmentionables. After our shopping excursion, we drop into Hunter's Drug Store for a coke before going on to the theater. There we find Ioyce Zurbrick and lim Michaelson talking to each other in low voices while lean Murphy and Dink Andersen are still coyly holding hands in the back booth. Realizing we must hurry to catch the first show, we purchase our tickets from Arlene Edgington, the ticket girl. The doorman, Don Bradley, takes the tickets, and after Ronald Stainsby, the usher, shows us to our seats, we become entranced with the picture. The dia- logue starts, and we find the title to be The Corn Is Yellow, a very calloused production star- ring Ioey Schwartz, directed by Don I.athrop, and produced by lack Goldsmith The sound effects man is lim Ray: costumes were designed by Nancy Devlin: and make up was applied by Ioan Rub. 20
