'Presently a beautiful, long, black custom-built limousine driven by two chauffeurs comes gliding down the street. lt is the big four of Monson , Dollars Rockefeller, Mint Vander- bilt, Greenback Astor, and Lippy Lipman. This combination has been doing very well. They have control of all garbage and ash companies from here to Singapore. Suddenly a blood-curdling scream is heard. Hundreds of girls have surrounded a man and are rapidly removing his possessions. The police arrive just in time to save movie idol Duke Littlefield from considerable embarrassment. Dukef' is so popular that he requires an armed body of men with him at all times, to protect him from his loving fans. Over to the right one sees the Monson library, one of the largest in the world. Millions of books are contained in its twenty-five floors. Suddenly from amidst a heap of books a man rises to stretch. It is Murph Levin, now President of Mucker University. Dave has received his degrees of M.D., B.S., M.S., Ph.D., B.A., B.O., T.S, and LL.D., and is now working for his L.S.M.F.T. just outside of the building, a car is seen speeding around a corner and smack into a pedestrian, as a camera flashes. It is Flash Bulb O'Malley, the man who can take a picture before it happens Ever since Dick left Monson Academy, he has been quite successful taking pictures. Another outstanding feature in Monson is its beautiful furniture stores. A crowd is gath- ered in front of one of the store windows and is watching a demonstration of a Bill Francis' beauty-rest. A Bill Francis beauty-rest is a wonderful bed. Press a button, and a tray of various drinks appears right next to the occupant. On one of these Bill Francis beauty-rests is a man who is showing the comforts of the bed. By now a huge crowd is watching. The man turns over, and it appears to be Charley Palmer. He's got the job he's always wanted. Another feature of Monsori is its fine churches, which have remained untouched throughout the years. One of the best ministers is the honorable Rev. P. T. Welch, who today stands as one of the great leaders in his community and the world. Picking up the midnight edition of the Monson Times, one sees that the latest news in the sports world is that Mucker University has just won the National Basketball Championship by beating the International All Stars 99-98 The Muckers were led by its outstanding stars Willie Martin, a lad who sinks the ball from anywhere, and Doc Aronson, the fellow who makes the basketball disappear at will. They anticipated some trouble with the outstanding guard, Homer Chase, who chalked up 41 points, but between Aronson's 50 points and Martin's 49 points they encountered little difficulty. Presently a line of people is seen. Following it, for sixteen blocks, we come finally to the Monson World Play House, where the great Broadway hit Hey Baba-re-ba is playing. The main attraction of the show is that dynamic personality, the beauty of stage, screen, radio, tele- vision, radar, telephone, and telegraph, known by all on the land, sea, and air, the sensational Snookie Rogers, who is supported by a cast of two hundred. All box office records have been broken as the marvelous Snookie packs in a full house every performance, Standing outside waiting to get in is a man with crutches. It is none other than Elihu Ankles Martin, all-American football, basketball, baseball, soccer, track, hockey, polo, rugby, lacrosse, tennis, golf, pool, ping-pong, billiards, and chess champion. Eli is out of action at the moment due to the fact that while battling dean Murph Levin for the checker championship of the world he became excited, slipped off his chair, and sprained his ankle. And all this, ladies and gentlemen, is considered as just another average day in Monson.
