.tfuukm T i Lew Q 43 C . 'T ,. 'Z 1 ai Q1 ls it possible? Yes, Mount Pulaski, lllinois, has been selected tor the world premier ot that super-super cinema masterpiece, Gone ls the Wind. As everyone knows, this record-breaking best seller was written by the winner ot the Nobel Prize tor eight years, Beryl Wachter, using the pen name of Marg-aret Satchello. Miss Wach- ter wrote Gone ls the Wind in l956, and it was immediately sold to the McCullough'Sams-Bertoni movie company and has been in roduction these tour years. Father Time will not mind, however, because l960 is more than happy to welcome this splendid achieve- ment. Come, it will soon be curtain time, and we want to meet some ot the celebrities as they come to the gala premier. As our taxi pulls up in front ot the theatre, the lights on the mar- quee begin their ay twinkling. Our tickets are ready and we en- ter the theatre. gNNe are given a program printed by a Mr. R. Aughenbaugh. Now where have we heard that name before? At- ter usher W. McKinley takes us to our seats, we have a few mo- ments to look about us before the picture begins. Wilna Emery's Emerywheels strike up a snappy tune with their star trumpet player, Charles Hanslow-and, we have a stage review star- ring the nationally known tap dancer, Alice Stockton. If only the stars ot the picture would come! Whom have we here? Ah, it's another ot the lovely ladies ot the screen, Miss Marilyn Buckles. She seems quite happy to be back in her home town. Following close behind her, we see the lady whose word is law in the field ot etiquette, personality, and character hints-the modern Emily Post, Miss Lois Watson. Ot course, the radio stars are here also. There is that tamous sing- ing Eair, Alice Yauch and June Ridgeway. Helena Hahn, the star of t e Daytime Love Series, is a beauty operator in spare mo' ments. And, there, too, is that genial quiz-master, Willis Laatsch. How stupid of mel l torgot our three wise men who are now an- swerin the questions on 'Information Please -John Martin, Rob- ert Gu so, and Wallace McGee. Um, that proves that trends can- 'i change. Here is the great banker, Leonard Obery, closely followed by his secretary, Miss Marilyn Voyles. And there is the most successful lawyer ot the day, Kenton Opperman. Behind him comes that ev- er-busy program director tor NBC, J. Dalen Shellhammer. His hob' by is collecting movie magazines ot which he has an entire library. Now entering is his librarian, Sylvia Allsopp. We iust caught a glimpse ot the season's most popular debutante, Irma Ryan. How well she keeps her youth! Also entering is that globe-trotter ot the class ot '40, Doris Ge er. As you know, she made both her trips around the world on the S. S. Hilltop. And in row I3 lhe's super- stitiousl, is none other than the pilot, Earl Riggs, who won his tame by an endurance tlight over Hawaii. Even he is surprised he stayed up so long. Everyone seems breathless with excitement. Perhaps it's because the stars ot the picture have been kept a secret, and now their names are to be revealed. There have been many rumors as to their identit , but as yet it has not been made public. We know, ot course. that they will be two of the screen's top ranking stars. We have our own opinions about the matter, and-we're ri ht! The theatre manager, Gerald Dittus. is presentin them now. Tihey are Charles Reidle and Vir inia Underhill, and gem what we have heard they'll be adding ano?her Academy Award to their collection. Lest minute entrances are being made, the lights are dimmed, and there goes the curteinl All the characters and events herein depicte'd are fictitious, and any similarity to actual persons, either living or dead, is purely coincidental.

.Yamaha ,a o '- ,6 - .a l 5 As stowaways we entered our stately ship, a group ot young and laytul investigators. We elected as our otticers. Joseph McCul- ibugh, leader, Alice Yauch, assistant leader, Pauline Allison, log- lceeper, and John Martin, treasurer. From the supervisors ot the company, Miss Volle and Mr. Stivers, came instructions tor the voyage. In our hiding, we enioyed parties and picnics. As tourists we entered our ma'estic vessel tor its second voyage. Walter Humble served as uide, Helena Hahn as assistant guide and Wallace McGee as log-ieeper and treasurer. The overseers ot our tour were Miss Wiswell and Mr. Lucas, who also helped us with our problems. We enioyed our stowaway parties and pic- nics so well that we had a great many more as tourists. As second-class passengers we entered for our third voyage on the Sea ot Knowledge. Alice Yauch was our rear admiral, Beryl Wachter was her assistant, Waneta Febus was log-keeper, and Dalen Shellhammer was treasurer. We presented our play. Tho Ghost Parade, in the main ball-room. Our ban uet was held in the main ball-room ot a passing ship, the S. S. cl.eland from the Springfield port. Mr. Lucas and Miss Goetz advised us on this voy- age. As tirst-class passengers, we have entered her maiesty, The Hill- top. on our last voyage from our alma mater. Memoirs ot our tirst trip brought to our minds that' this last should be our best. Three passengers from another ship entered ours for this last cruise. Alice Yauch was our admiral, Beryl Wachter, vice-admiral, and Mari- lyn Buckles, log-lreeper and treasurer. Miss Reavy and Mr. Lucas served as supervisors. The tirst-class passen ers entertained the second-class passengers at a dance held on geek. We have also purchased a radio with a phonograph attachment to be used in the ballroom. Our class play was a huge success. We are now having our last grand times together. The ship has come into port. but our great- est experience ies in the future. As we sail the Sea of Ambition, may we land in the harbor ot Success. This page sponsored by DR. E. H. COX Mount Pulaski
