F SE Ion PRGPHECY Ahl 1972! Life has just begun for the seniors of '48. After all if life begins at forty, they're just getting a good start. Let's see how far they've gone. Might as well begin in dear ole' Lexington. Seems as tho' no one can even remember if they had- a graduating class in '48. Our curiosity has been aroused and so off we go on a world-wide tour to find the missing class. We step into our helicopter and head for Wash- ington, D. C. to snoop around a bit. We arrive in time to attend the dinner in honor of the new Secretary of the Treasury, Bernie N. Fairchild. The toastmaster, Benjamin H. Hoeppner, also introduces the Foreign Minister to Upper tughl Lower Slobbovia, Richard C. Van Zandt. Among the other important guests is the Vice-President of the U. S., Mary Thomas. The society editor of the Washington Post, Betty Waddell, claimed this to be one of the most elaborate affairs of the season. On to New York to catch the opening perform- ance of Mademoiselle Buttercup by Dorothy I. Hurt, co-starring jeanne Rush and the lrish tenor, Patrick Riley. Among the first nighters are Mrs. Geneva Hamilton, wearing her fabulous Green Water sap- phires, and Betty Eapmon, safety pin heiress, es- corted by Olin jungeblut, match-box magnet. After the opera we take a cab and find the driver to be Richard Calloway. A fast and furious ride brings us to the airport and we hop into our helicopter for an- other lap of our journey. In London the critics are raving over a new book, The Nutshell and Us by Billie j. Shumate and Wanda j. Shipman. There is also much excitement over a new gadget that the inventor, joe Cagna, calls the youdo-it-I-can't. Gay Paree is all aflutter over the old look de- signed by Mademoiselle Lorraine Stompoly. Her famous new creations are being modeled by those two nationally known models, Orna Lee Lauck and Dixie' Hackley. On the Rue-de-la-Paix Richard Yates and Leroy Summerlin, still enjoying life and up to the same old tricks, are being entertained by a dozen or so French maidens. Since we are so close we can't miss the Winter Olympics which are in full swing. Riding the bobsled for the U. S. are none other than Pierre Collobert, junior Villers, Donald Snell and Eph Guevel. Russia is our next stop. In Moscow at the Kremlin Harold Coskey holds the honored position of Am- bassador to Russia. He furnishes straight scoops for Donelle Keeney, foreign correspondent, and her photographer, Georgia Oberhelman. Then to Turkey where there is much ado over the new Sultan, john McFadden, and his breath-taking harem. We hear that an expedition has just returned from the heart of the Congo to the Gold Coast so we hurry there and are amazed to hear how Mary E. Hammer saved the life of the big game hunter, Billy Ray Drzmner, from an enraged monkey. While on the Gold Coast we meet Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stratton, owners of the largest diamond mine on the coast. 18 On a short stop over in Cairo we find George McKean, who runs a thriving business keeping the pyramids furnished with occupants. Flying low over the desert we see two figures f?j digging industriously in the' sand. We land just as archaeologists Mary Bayse and Ellen Neale uncover the lost tomb of King Tutramlee XDOC, the first of the lost line of kings. After a short flight we reach that exotic land of mystery, India. On arrival at Calcutta we are wel- comed bythe publisher of the Calcutta Monsoon, Paul Gander, and his private secretary, Lillian Christian. We read in his paper of the new mission just estab- lishedhigh in the Himalayas in the unknown land of Tibet by that fearless missionary, Dr. Charles Mus- satto fbetter known as Moosel and his charming wife, Elizabeth Shaffer Mussatto. Then to Hong Kong, China even tho' we are afraid we won't be able to understand their language, but much to our surprise everyone We meet can speak some English. This does not seem so strange after we learn that Pat Conger and Mamie Hollingsworth are teaching in a local school. In the teeming jungles of Borneo, acting as com- mander-in-chief of the Bring 'em back alive head- hunters is the gentle, but forceful, jean McCormick. Her expert head-shrinker is Don Van Camp. Down under in Camwooweal, Australia, Leroy Hoeppner is the proprietor of the Hopalong Hoepp- ner Kangaroo Nursery. Fern Lois Kleindienst is head nurse and baby sitter at this establishment. jack Wright owns the neighboring Ostrich Race Track, famous for the Ostrich Sweepstakes. We stop at the beautiful beaches of Waikiki which are thronged with interested spectators watch- ing a native Hawaiian Samba performed by those three impressionistic dancers, Kathleen Cooper, Char- lene Hughes, and Violet Rivers. The leader of the orchestra playing for them is none other than Hot Lips fNormanl Thorson. On our stop over at Buenos Aires We meet jerry Hesse, owner of a large meat-packing plant, who is married to a gay senorita. While listening to Station MAN in Lima, Peru, we hear the familiar voice of Betty Carol Armstrong proclaming the wonders of the Tourist's Trips to the Andes being conducted by johnny Buchanan and Bobby Hanson. Back in the good old U. S. in Hollywood, Cali- fornia is Rita Martin who is president in charge of production at the Hob-A-Goblin Studios. She is as- sisted by her first vice-president, Betty Tucker. Doing the lighting for the star production is Dudley Lueck. Over in Burbank in her hill-top home is joan Berninger, the mother of four sets of triplets, writing novels on the side. At Oak Ridge, Tennessee the famous atomic en- gineers, jimmy Seaton and R. E. Muench are busily engaged in preparing a secret formula. Down in El Dorado, Arkansas Shirley Rogers and her husband are the proud parents of half a football team. Yes, there was a class of '48! And now our curi- osity is satisfied. But curiosity killed the cat and we're almost dead!!
