,Q enioz C-A144 Mor ecy, annaz Now, 'everyone has heard of dreams, magic carpets and the like-to send people zooming off into space- without even a thought for the outer world! I, being of a curious nature, decided to experiment. For my ex- pe-riment, the renowned Professor Maury I. Rubin gra- ciously consented to reserve the privilege of using. his laboratory for me. As I wander through his laboratory, I see many new and interesting devices. One which par- ticularly interests me is the Time Changer and Spacer. After the professor had explained the working of this machine, I decide to try my luck, and turn the small, luminous dial to the 1975. While the machine is wheel- ing around to the prescribe-d country-our own United States-I wait. It takes a few minutes to get the exact location and I sit and watch all that is going on. First, the television set gives me a glimpse of France. It shows a few interesting scenes there and in one of them I could see my old friend, Catherine Turner, sketching off a few of her most exclusive designs in gowns. The set whirls around once more-and the scene is Brazil, South America. Who is that? Why, it's Bobbie Collins, Secre- tary of International Affairs, and at h-er side there is a sailor! Once more the set whirls, and I can see Mary Lou Holt. How did she' get out there on that island in the South Pacific Ocean? Oh, yes, I remember, she wanted to be there so she would never get cold. The Time-Changer and Spac-e'r finally turns to the United States! It seems as though I have been set down in a calm, quiet town. Look, there's a nice little house-I think I'll look in. Seated around an enormous fireplace I can see James Perry, air ace of World War II, showing his medals to Herbert Cody, owner of the Cody Service Sta- tions, which, incidentally, cater only to the elite of this town. As I listen and watch intently I overhear parts of the conversation: It seems as though Helen Watkins owns a Buick heliocopter and she isn't satisfied with the mechanical services performed by James Brice and Clarence Watson. Another of the customers has entered the conversation. Nadine Snyder has a co-ownership with Nellie Moore of the Swank Hotel. tAfter spending so much of their time there, they decided to purchase it.J I look around this town and a fairly large building attracts my attention, so I turn a valve and the machine -stops there. There's Doris Donaldson, secretary to Carl L. Harrison, president of the Harrison Gum Corporation. Now, I think I'll turn back to 1945. The Time-Changer and Spacer whirls again. I sit there and our capital rolls by. There in the Senate I see Robert Louis Stepher- son, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and his private secretary, Claudine Pate. On another floor of this build- ing I notice the Army Office. There is Colonel Clyde Davidson, and he is talking to Bettyf A. N. C. fArmy Nurse Corpsj, and she is trying to find out what hap- pened to the train that James Jefferson was to drive and why it had not arrived. One more whirl and the Time-Changer and Spacer puts me out into the Atlantic, where I see Harry Thur- man on his yacht, guarding our coastline. After being in the Coast Guard, he is rather used to this sort of thing. The machine sets me back in 1975. My eyes are rather tired from overuse. I shall drop off into a much-needed rest. This Senior Class wishes to extend its heartfelt grati- tude to the entire faculty. Miss Ruth Stanfield, who has been the Senior Director, and to Miss Effie Wright, who has sponsored the January Graduating Class, and with- out her help we would have been completely lost. Orchids to Mr. J. L. Highsaw for being the best principal in the Memphis City School System. Best wishes for a long and prosperous future.
