The sky is filled with traffic nowadays. Remember how we used to travel? Now the low rate of speed is 150 miles an hour for Juanita Roe and her family in their airplane. They will soon need a trailer for those kids. And speaking of trailers, Dorothy Swart is keeping house in an airplane trailer-house for an avia- tion-advertiser in southern California. Back in the States again, we find Mary Ellen (Wagner) and Bill Ethridge and their five children who are living in New Mexico. Bill owns half interest in an air line down there In Southern California, we find Donna Mae Porhman living with Roy in a little white cottage with a white picket fence around it. Those two darling children you see in the front yard are Maxine and LeRay. How we do travel nowadays! There goes Lily Higgins and her husband in their new Plymouth. They want to see all the forty eight states before they are through. The pretty little farmerette on the cover of the 1954 August issue o: Life Magazine is Ruth Fisher. Quiet, dreamy-eyed Barbara Bean is an artist's model in Portland. Matt Svetich is playing for the Thursday night dances with the Hayseed Hotshots. Mildred Hadden now keeps the men looking her way, as she is the cover girl for the American Magazine. In Las Vegas, Nevada, Mary Ellen Hendrickson is proving successful in being a good wife to a Lieutenant and is raising her own bomber crew. Hardworking Mary Wallace is living in La Grande and has a family of four. Next we go to Ocean Park, pleasure resort out of Los Angeles, where we find Bobby Crawford. Yes, his dream has come true, but what is this? It can't be—but it is! He is proud owner of a hamburger stand. That lovely California sunshine we hear so much about must have magnetic powers, for here we also find Mable Williams, a competent accountant. The circus is in town! Brightly colored flags flying over grey tents, prancing horses, and roar- ing animals, announce its opening and here is Eleanor Wilson in one of Ringling Brothers' famous sideshows. A beautiful marriage is flowering in California and the blushing bride is Virginia Spray. And speaking of families, Natalie Greene is washing dishes and scrubbing floors for one in Cali- fornia. She spends her free time learning to fly an airplane. That handsome, blonde, Casanova, Irving Watson, is seen strolling down a busy street in a busy city, but the girls aren't too busy to look his way. Jessie Nelson is spending her winter at Laguna Beach'and has entered another competition as to who can get the smoothest tan. By viewing Everett Dalton through the television machine we can still classify him as a wolf on the loose. The script When I Was Young called for Betty Grable at the age of 25. Without surprise we see Juanita Westenskow as her stand-in. Louise Ferhman is the quiet girl with the pleasant voice that asks number please” in the Bell telephone company in New Jersey, New Jersey. From the cobwebs, Nina Kopp takes her violin and fiddles for the members at the Country Club in Frankfort, Kentucky, while they stuff themselves on ham, eggs, and biscuits after a brisk, morn- ing ride. It is late and, as we have looked up all our former classmtaes, Charles turns off the switch and the picture fades from view. Thanks to the television machine, we have had a memorable picture of our friends of 44.

surgeon, Fiorina Beeson, and lo and behold, she has developed a case of fluttering heart for a doctor. Nurse Jean Abel's dreams were realized, for there she stands in Ward 16, holding her favorite patient's hand. Carnegie Hall is drawing a large crowd tonight—so huge that there isn't even standing room. The attraction is the famous pianist, Beverly Decker. One of the most notable concert groups is the Metrolagrandian, now on tour. Some of the feature attractions are vocal soloist, Ruby Pyle and a 200-piece orchestra, in which Naomi Creasman is violin soloist. P° y°U remember Ruby McClure, the girl who couldn't find a boy-friend that didn't play with the Solid Senders? Well, if we look close we'll find her directing her own swing band. Ah, there she is, but wait! What is this? Can the men playing the trombine, the drums, and the piano be the Olson twins and Jim Courtney? New York harbor. Waiting at the dock, as usual, is Nina Proffitt. Won't that fleet ever come in? We ve all heard of Dupont and have wondered who was responsible for the work they have accomplished in the past 10 years. Well, our question is answered as we look in the television machine, for here we see Arlene Marsh working vigorously as head stenographer. Bright lights, gaiety, heart breaks, success—this is Broadway. And here we see Dorthea Coal- well waltzing her way to fame. It is a great moment for a great artist and her audience as we watch Laura Lee McLain unveil her masterpiece in the New York Museum of National Art. Ellery Herron is the featured soloist in the New York Philharmonic orchestra, and just think, we used to hear him for nothing. Now we turn to Washington, D. C., and midst the hustle and bustle of the crowds we spy Lucille Ross on her way to work. She is secretary to the Secretary of the Treasury. white house looms before us and, although we expected it, we are a little awed to find Jean Rode secretary to Congressman John Bean. Between sessions John spends his time being a yardbirdin the army, even though the war is over. And now, down Palm Beach way where palm trees sway, we find David Nelson, the retired millionaire, just relaxing. We also see Marietta Keller splashing the water of the Atlantic Ocean and enjoying that warm sunsnine of Miami Beach while she is on her vacation from her job as a private secretary. Down south in New Orleans lying under a palm tree resides Eddie Stonebreader, owner of a big sugar plantation—a mint julip in one hand, a blonde in the other. The Hawaiian Islands is our next go l but on our way we must pass over the Ozark Mountains and here we see Fred Burgess playing Hairless Joe. Also in our path is the Pacific Ocean and who should be skimming the waves but June Hoover on a pleasure cruise. Now the Hawaiian Islands: Tom Garrison has moved here and has a place similar to that of Earl Carrol's Variety of 10 years ago. Guatemala! A long jump, but to us only the turn of a dial. It is here, we understand, that Miss Betty Erbe wrote her famous book. How to Enter Matrimony or Man Trap, which will be illustrated by the author. The evening is passing away quickly so we can't linger. Giving the dial a turn, we find ourselves in China. Kenny Waldroff's modern version of an airport has at last come true, for here he is in Peking, running an air transport and entertaining his passengers enroute by playing his clarinet for them. Several miles north we come to a place on an island that, ten years ago, was known as Tokyo. And here, beneath a blossoming cherry tree, we find Bob Suydam playing the Overture of 1812 on his tuba. Remember the oboe player, Marjorie Chandler, in the band of 44 ? She now lives way across the oceans in India where she earns her bread and butter by charming snakes. Admiral E. R. Snider is the owner of a small but busy tugline operating out of Cairo, Egypt. Scanning the sky with the television machine, we see Alan Mills soaring through the blue. We hear that he is attempting to finish the flight that Amelia Earhart started.
