Soon it was time for dinner so we took the bus out of the fair to Toledo's Sky Ride Club. As we entered we went through a series of processes created by Benjamin France, to make dining easier for the modern world. No. 1. Took off our wraps and carried them to a cold storage vault. No. 2. Unbuttoned the last two buttons of the gentlemen's vests. No. 5. Supplied us with automatic shoe removers. No. 4. Gave us indigestion pills. No. 5. Gave us soup spoons with rims to keep in the liquid. As we entered the dining room we noticed Blanche Hooley, the star of stage and screen seated at the table of honor. We sat down and dinner was served by our class- mate, Theodore. Soon the floor show started and we were surprised to find that the Master of Ceremonies was no other than Owen Hess. He introduced that famous swingaroo singer, Ruth Donavan. After her vocal entertainment, she joined us at our table. The guest star that evening was the vivacious and charming Betty Lee, Amer- ica's best loved dancer. Before we knew it, the night was nearly over and morning was almost here. We left our tables and started home. The meeting of all of our graduating class at Long- fellow School made it feel like the end of a perfect day. Phyllis Damm, Blanche Holley.

CLASS PROPHECY, I95I - ROOM I I I Today we left by plane to see the Toledo World's Fair. jack Cronin and Alan Brang were pilots on the 750 seater plane. Afterzooming through' space at the rate of 600 miles per hour we spied Robert Murphy hitch-hiking his way in a parachute. Wfe found out from telepathic messages that he was also going to the fair so we picked him up at the next teal blue light. We arrived at Toledo in 45 minutes and our special taxi picked us up. Much to our amazement the driver was Neil Cowie. He told us the New Commodore Perry Hotel was under the management of jerry Dennis, so we decided to stay there. As we stopped, the new automatic elevator designed by Howard Krum, lifted our bags to our room on the 1022 floor. The hostesses, Barbara Herzig and Joan Duffey sent us up a glass of double chocolate pineapple ice foo foo. We started for the fair early the next morning and found out that our old class- mate, Maurice Bellamy had conceived it. At the gates we purchased our tickets from the ticket girl, Eileen Surtman. She said Bobby S. was the guide and would be glad to show us around. On our -way in we stopped at the Remembrance Stand and found that Mary Lou and Carolyn had formed a partnership. We bought some pennants and then started out for a grand time. Suddenly we heard a familiar voice. We looked and sure enough there was Rhoda Mae making charcoal sketches of her customers. We stopped to talk with her and she said that Donna was making silhouettes further back. We started out again. This time for the twin houses for twin couples designed by our friends, Betty Lou and Doris Mae Wilhelm. As we inspected these houses we found that the new helium type, stay up ceiling wall paper was invented by none other than the mad scientist, Bill Thompson. We also found that Charles Hardy had de- signed the Look in your mirror and out who's at your door contraption. By this time it was nearly noon and we were all very hungry and we had just come in sight of the Gulp, Pay, and Run restaurant which was run by Monita Patterson. The meals were served by waitresses who were equipped with wings so they could fly through the air without bumping each other. Our singing waitress turned out to be Priscilla Schaub. When she served our bread we noticed it was a yellow color. We asked Priscilla about it and she said our classmate, Norman Gray, had developed it. We found that it was bread buttered before it was baked, so that it saved time and energy for the working man. After lunch we started for the monkey show but were suddenly surprised to see Phyllis Damm autographing her newest book entitled 'fOne Hundred New and Further Uses for Abbreviations. We found out from Phyllis that Mrs. Holmes had written a book on Special English for Teachers to use on school children. She also told us that Dorothy Polker had opened a school for the cautious and safe minded people of Toledo. After a short rest we started again. This time our destination was the beach to see the champion of women divers, Doris Rohweder, and the winner of the Olympics one mile race, Peggy Gallagher. After talking to them awhile we spied Harry Updike as the husky life guard. As we were getting ready to leave the beach, we heard a familiar voice, although it had a foreign accent. We followed our ears till we saw a sign reading Betty June Hamilton, the famous Parisian stylist and her charming model, Phyllis Hiltf' We stopped awhile to talk with them and then saw some of Betty's newest creations.
