Afterglow Olass Prophecy . . . , Hear ye, hear ye! VVe are about to go on a trip to the great beyond Un fact, way beyondj. All ye olde graduates skan over this page and find your name on this list in which I will attempt to prophesize your probable future for you, in the good year of 1945. A big sign attracts us on one of the main streets of Hollywood. It reads Donald Aabakken's night school for tap and novelty dancing? After watching some of his performances we discovered that one of his star pupils is none other than Lester Aboudara. VValking down one of the main thoroughfares, we stopped in a restaurant to eat and we were promptly waited upon by Esther Arca, head waitress at the stylish George Arnerich Cafef' After having finished our lunch, we heard music down the street. Approach- ing the musicians we were surprised by the countenance of Virgil Baker, who was playing second fiddle in the Holly- wood Salvation Army Band. Finding that we were spending too much time in Hol- lywood, we took a Pacific Greyhound bus for Helena, Montana. The driver was Earl Barnes, and his hostess on the vehicle was Lorraine Lester. Also on the bus was Marvin Bielstein, selling confections. Arriving in Helena during the night we took lodgings in a classy hotel which was under the management of Roy Ep- person. VVe were given our rooms by the clerk at the desk who was Luiz Jardine. VVaking up in the morning we went to breakfast in the hotel lunchroom where we met Albert Gray having his bite to eat. He told us that he was working for the Helena Gigolo Union. NVe also learned that he has a wife, who surpris- ingly is Dorothy Vacha. Vkfalking down the street we noticed a big building for attorneys-at-law. VVe went in to settle some,private business and noticed the name of Mary Celia on one of the doors, and her very private secretary was Frank Sweeney. After finishing our business with Mary Celia, we passed a window that attracted us with numerous posters of nudist col- onies. We asked the proprietor who drew them. To our surprise he said, joe Davidson. His two enthusiastic understudies were Peter Rusconi and Peter Gugich. From there we took a rocket ship to Chicago, Illinois. Arriv- ing there in a terrific wind storm, we learned the reason for the gale. ltap- parently was coming from the mayor's office in the city hall. Walking in we saw his dishonor the mayor, Axiente Sutz, practicing his speech for the com- ing election. His most honorable com- petitor for the mayorship of the windy city was Siggi Isaki, who at present is the chief-of-police. Getting tired of all the wind, we took another rocket ship for New York. Arriving during the early part of the evening, we decided to venture down Broadway and 42nd Street and take in a show for the evening. The main attraction of one of the theaters was the picture Little Fan, What Now? starring Albert The Great Symonsf' Having seen all the world, we took the last boat to dear old Oakland, California. The name of the ship was the U. S. S. VVatchersink piloted by Captain Dave Taylor and his chief assistant, Roy Sutrov. Service was rendered to us by the head steward, William Mingus. Arriving in Oakland, we -were wel- comed by a brass band, the mayor, chief- of-police, department of missing persons, department of justice, and the bureau of investigation. Some welcome! We were interviewed by two women report- ers of the Oakland Post-Enquirer who were Faustina Uribe and Alma Rodri- guez. Vincent Peck was the editor and Betty Haynes was the assistant. Thus, closes a wonderful trip.
