1947 - - ILLOHMET SENIOR PROPHECY to draw people to the business firm of Hall the Florist. She told us that Jimmy and Gerry were settled in a Cozy Cottage at Joppa, Illinois and that Clarence Holt and Einstein had joined forces to clear the public's confusion concerning the fourth dimen- sion. At the street corner near the Post Office we heard Eugene Wetherington shouting Give the best years of your life to the Marines. We were told that he had been re- cruiting for the last five years. Veterans Alliston, LaMarr, and Rodgers had rejoined the armed services and were near retirement. Their twenty years of service were al- most completed. Wiseman and Dennis had joined forces and purchased the Memorial Hospital, wlhich they were managing. Their slogan read, You bring them, we cure or kill them. We noticed a new shiny truck passing by, driven by Richard Rushing. He had just purchased his new insecticide equipment and had proved it a success. The Jones-Stockton, You bring it, we fill it Riexall Drug Store, owned and operated by James 0. Jones and Brea Stockton, was an old established firm. As we entered the door, Naomi Verlbarg greeted us, stationed behind! a super de luxe fountain, jerking those specials at the rate of one every two minutes. As we had now seen all our old school chums and fhad found them thriving, we departed from dear Metropolis. We boarded another plane and flew into the West to- ward the sunset. We had enjoyed our vacation, but were glad to return to our work in Hollywood where we are now employed,
