SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY We, Betty Cagle and 'Betty Taylor, having completed our nurses training, and serv- ing in the Naval Nurses Corps, are now on duty at the new You Bring 'Eimg We Kill 'Em Hospital in California, the best yet to be found. Since work is becomling harder and harder to get out of, we decided to take a vacation. At the station while waiting for the train, we were rudely jostled by someone, and upon hastily turning around, we were confronted by none other than Wayne Baccus, who said he was on his way to Mermet where he owned' the great night club, Red Hot Riding Hood. He told us that the co-owner, Carolynn Rouse, was also featured clarinetist with Jesse Jones' Orchestra, whose theme song is Ofh! I Love That Man. Jesse told u-s that the club's dancing cuties are: Juanita Walter, Louella Slankard, Mary Smith an-d Wanda Lee James, who have introduced the new dance sensation, Shake 'Em Down. Upon boarding the train, our tickets were snatched from our hands by whom we immediately decided to be John Buddenbaum, who said he had been with the company four years. At Reno, we disembarked to take a look around, and our eyes were confronted with a sign over a boarding house, which read: Broken-Hearted Widows' Home, proprie- toress and chief occupant, Elureta Kersey. From Reno to Kansas City we took a plane, whose pilot was William Kennedy, and whose stewardess was Mary Rodgers. Bill told us that not long ago he had the pleasure and, opportunity of taking our President, Jim 'Forenian, to Elngland. f A neon sign, BE'TT'Y'S' BElAU'T'Y BA1TH, caught our glance, and upon going in- side, surprisingly enoughly, we found Mary Day having 'her face lifted. Farther up the avenue was MA1LlN'S MILLION DOLLAR FASHION SHOP, owned by Pauline Malin. Allene Kersey was modeling the clothes that Pauline designs. O'n a newsstand in a prominent place was The Snipipy Snapp fread-while-you- shave-newspaperj edited by George Minor. On the front page there was an ad Fly From Kansas City to St. Louis in 'Little Eva,' the Helicopter fwhich incidentally, is owned and piloted? by Irene Holt.J It was rather exciting, and a little frightening, to know that we would be able to take a trip with our former MECHS classmate at the controls. At the factory to which Irene took us to see where the Devil Hopper, brother to Little Eva, the Helicopter, Billie Jean Rsogers was serving in the capacity of private secretary to the Office Manager. Outside the factory window, a circus parade passed, with Charles Chuck Tiny Owens, leading the parade, having become the World's smallest man., as a result of an overdose of Crunchie Crunc-hie Reducing Tablets, prescribed by Dr. Adele Wilfred, Phd. On the marquee of the Little Moron Theater in St. Louis, managed by Kenneth Girtman, lights spelled out the names of Dan Rush and Mary Jo Huckleberry, featured on Huck, the Duck, Don't Give a Quack program. Having begun their careers only a short time ago, they are still going strong. l'Continued On Page 181
