LOST IN THE STARS X'Vhen mortals scan the face of night, stars will serve as almanacs to remind them that they will always have to look up to The Class of 1953. It is granted that all gods hold their seats in the skies: accordingly, here we reside, the heavenly bodies of on the lofty star, Pi . It is not a particularly large star: how- ever, it is only natural that the more brilliant members of the community have the best chance of being noticed. The aesthetic at- mosphere is in harmony with the superior lineage of its inhabitants, who, by virtue of their luminous education and scintillating wit, have succeeded in founding a 'new civili- lation of blithe spirits. First, though, as we begin to explore the Universe of lflfifl, we switch back to lowly earth to the tiny island of Nantucket, where Miss McGrath, Curator of the Maria Mitchell Observatory and President of the American Bird Mfatehers' Society, scans the solar system. With expert skill she trains her super 2,000- ineh telescope on Pi, and smiling radiantly, she sights the abode of her prodigies in the Class of '53. Her eye is attracted at once by a bright red flash, Lee Newth, zooming along in her fire engine. Destination?

These strident tones are, however. over- ridden by the music of the Angel Choir, fea- turing as star soloist, Mercedes Hutchison, inezzo-monotone. Vigorously leading the group is the flustered maestro, Carla XVright.

Time marches on, and with it a pile of prizes accompanied by Sue Raines. Farther down the street, we see a large crowd attracted by our loquacious orator, Sue Low, who is spouting about the high life of the Upper Reaches, and by Debbie -Iones, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who is ordering her arrest for disturbing the peace! Out of the milling crowd comes the sound of a portable radio. Drawing closer, we hear the voice of Margie Shore, teling another one of her tall tales on Can You 'I'op This? - I doubt it! VVe interrupt,this program to bring you a special bulletin by Lois Brown, the Eyes and Ears of Pi. She has an interesting announce- ment to make, for, it seems, that Sally Shoop, fostering her brood of airborne children. has just taken off in her new convertible rocket ship, Bedelia II. The family is attired in the fashionable new black and white cable space suits, designed by the Schiaparelli of the Stars, Adelle Alba, and knitted by -lane Drop- stitch Gifford. Incidentally-not far off, sits Nancy I.egare, still knitting! Here comes Carolyn Chase on the march with her troop of Girl Scouts. She is teach- ing them the newest tracking techniques. On sighting her prey, she shouts, Ropes and hooks, there, ropes and hooks! Approaching the business center, we see qlustine Mackie's second-hand shop, a celestial duplicate of the one she started on earth years ago by collecting certain treasures. Next door is the Blind Date Bureau run by Elaine Kit- tens Morrisse. She evidently earns a com- mission by advising her clients to frequent tl1e Hi-Hat Club . sponsored by Sandy Rad- cliffe. Further on, at the aquarium, Barbara Ben- son as head guide is lecturing on marine life, with which she is exceptionally well acquaint- ed, and coming out of the Atom Drug Store, just down the road a piece, is Em Lynch. pull- ing a wagon full of her daily medicinal sup- plies. Blazing in bright lights on the marquee of the Star Theater is the name of Diana Bid- den, who is currently playing there the stellar role of The Innocents, while at the other end of town .loyce Sproul is permanently hlling the leading part in Tllc Merry Wifc of Win- wr. In the suburbs, at the University of l'i,.we find Ina Dwares, Professor of Sociology, giv- ing an advanced lecture course on The Basis of a Durable Peace. Carolyn Rison, on the other hand, we discover, spends most of her time in the library, doing research work on her third history textbook, The Making of Pi. As she comes out with an armful of books. she sees the pulling janet Laing, cranking Puddles. While Janet is puzzling over her temperamental auto, her attention is attracted by a group of boys from the university who have come staggering up the walk, carrying . . . why, of all things, it's her motor! Nancy Cornelius has taken up quarters across from the university, where she is feel- ing right at home. In the country, not far from the university, Sylvia Zweifel, stooped under the weight of a huge paint can, is meticulously painting each blade of grass blue in an effort to feel at home. As night falls, Sue Goff, B-B gun expert, is performing her nocturnal duty of shooting stars, while Penny Wfatts, Pi's well-known artist, is painting gossamer moonbeams. Where these heavenly sights came from before Sue and Penny arrived on the scene remains a mystery. Christine hops on an oriental moonbeam to begin her long homeward journey, back to Formosa. Hannah, who has always had a Maine-ia to return home, streaks by on her chartered comet and waves to Olive, Pi's lighthouse keeper, who blinks her beacon in a fond fare- well. As the curfew hour arrives, Emma Dimond swings the massive gates closed and plods wearily homeward, dragging her key behind her. Gradually, drifting clouds obscure Pi from sight and Miss McGrath turns away from her telescope with a happy sigh, while the Class of '53 continues its bright course through the uncharted realm of the Future.
