l00KlN6 AHEAD Some time in the years to come, the babe of 1950 will be old. In a distant year his hair, now fair and downy with youth, will be hoary with age. Between that year and this, lie the years of work and study, of success or failure. O spirits, who guard the portals of the future, add years to this babe-lift the concealing veil of his youth and let him lead us through the maze of the uncertain future. Permit him to show us the gradu- ates of the Class of '50 ten years from today. Look-there, he appears-no longer an infant and with a promise to reveal to us the secrets of tomor- row. Lead us, O spirit of the Class of '50-lead us behind the curtain of 1960 and unfold to us the work in the fields of cosmic and atomic energy. Also there is Martha Shillito, fast-rising author of Macdeath , a story of murder and intrigue. She is cheering excitedly, unaware of the dark and gloomy looks of psychiatrist Dick Peoples, who had un- fortunately bet on the wrong team. Sportscaster Streevy also points out Wayne Kirklin, that versatile musician so often called the one-man band . As we leave the park we notice posters plastered on the outside walls. One picture shows the blond curls and soulful brown eyes of Van Ladd, alias Tommy Ross, the great lover of stage and screen. Other posters announce the big circus coming to town and display the daring tricks and acrobatics of that man on the flying trapeze , Roberto Dunlap. destinies of our classmates. With a knowing twinkle in his eye the Class of '50 spirit beckons us to follow him. The first scene we see before us is that of a huge room. All about is gleaming equipment, all white and clean. Two men, Drs. Dietz and Neagley, famed dental surgeons, are hard at work on the dentures of Su- zanne Neumeyer, Wall Street secretary. Suzanne, a naturally nervous young woman, is cling- ing tightly for comfort to the hand of Geraldine Mills, dental hygienist. In the outer ofiice Margaret McGroarty is discussing her married life with Beverly Gar- nett, originator of the famous X '41 'Q S fs, 'S ff X Another one reads that Shirley Hartmann, the widely acclaimed star of the 1960 Ice Capades, is soon to appear in person in Philadelphia. Darting down the street is a small black-haired figure. It is Adele Sermattei, prominent so- cial worker, who is rushing to find a new apartment for elocu- tion teacher Edythe Sands. Edythe finds sleep impossible in her present home on Hubbub Avenue. In the hospital across the street lies the popular model, Anna Bullock, who was struck by a hit and run driver while she was vacationing in Philly . Anna is being cared for by the two most capable nurses in the Advice to the Lovelorn column. Suddenly, through the magic of our friend, the Class of '50 spirit, we find ourselves at Shibe Park. The fans are going wild and two players are being borne from the field upon the shoulders of their vic- torious teammates. As they come closer we recognize jimmy Riley and Cecil Godfrey, the two held most responsible for the Phillies' capture of the pennant for three consecutive years. Waiting to interview the two sports idols are ace reporters janet Smith and Wilbert Davidson. The voice of sportscaster Glenn Streevy can be heard over the din of the crowd. He is naming the celebrities present at the stadium today. Among these we see Drs. Dorothy Delker and Arthur Og- genfuss, who have locked up their offices for the afternoon. These two have made an incomparable contribution to the world by their top secret research city, Ruth Paul and Peggy jenkinson. Flying above we see the Star Duster , the new streamlined airplane designed by prominent modern architect, Bill Sherwood. Aboard the air liner is stewardess joan Worrad, who seats Marion Thayer, competent United Nations' interpreter, across the aisle from the former Elsie Noell, who is now hap- pily married and journeying to join her husband and family in New York. Victor Berger, top flight radio technician, is plaguing Joan for something to combat his air-sickness. Jeanne Smolka, famous lecturer, seated a few chairs ahead of them, is seemingly un- aware of her surroundings. She is engrossed in prep- aration for her next lecture on Peace Through Ar- gument . Buddy Ward, also a passenger, is rushing copy for his comic strip, Powder Puff Percy the Flea. His boss, Richard Umbrecht, editor of the new magazine, jazz , is awaiting the completed
