The smoke lifted and on the outskirts of Nappanee we saw two bedraggled, weather-beaten characters feebly lifting their thumbs toward the east. Looking closer we saw it was BOB STILLSON and WILBUR METZLER-Still on their way to Milford! I l While yet in the suburbs of Nappanee we caught sight of a little ily-in restau- rant with a special helicopter landing field in back. A sign above it read, Lynch and Huff Snappy Service. Just think, MARILYN HUFF and BETTY LYNCH still in the same business, their motto must be The way to a manis heart is through his stomach. ' The scene quickly changed to the familiar street of Elm, immediately Walter's Beauty Shoppe came into view. We saw Mrs. Kenny Walters, formerly PHYLLIS GUARD, in a stiff white uniform deftly shampooing SHIRLEY PlTTMAN,S hair. The Rajah again interrupted to say that Shirley was the top-notch socialite of Nappanee and was throwing a big party for the governor that night. We also saw a little red schoolhouse in Locke, inside at the teacher's desk we saw JEANETTE CLOUSE ruler in hand and specks on her nose, looking very bored, teaching her government class. Too bad Hermie wasn't there to hold her hand as he used to in government class back in '46. Next to come into view was radio station J 0 K E of Goshen and behind the mikey in a fiashy red and white ensemble we saw JOYCE KLINCAMAN. Her interest still seemed to lie in Goshen. The smoke swirled higher and Manchester College came into the scene. One of the doors inside attracted our attention-DEAN GUARD, Professor of Ancient History. Because the door was opened we could see Dean in horn-rimmed glasses behind the massive desk, his brow knitted in deep thought. The question was: HWere his thoughts about ancient Greece or a co-ed of ancient Manchester in '4-6? This picture faded and into its place came Playland Park at South Bend. There, speeding around the race track, was the famed 4'Hell Driver, BOB KRING. He always was pretty good at being reckless and now it was his profession. The smoke rose higher and we were in Chicago viewing a sky-scraper. On one of the windows we noticed big black letters reading: DALE FREET, Accounting and Book- keeping. He at last had his reward for being so studious in high school. We saw next a large animal hospital with DAVE MILLER as head-surgeon. Inside, JOE COULD was nervously pacing the fioor awaiting news from the doctor concerning his famed race horse, Shirlwind.', We learned from the Rajah that Joe was manager of the Spink Hotel and was now going in for horse racing and that his entire fortune depended on this sick horse's recovery. The smoke rose higher and with a low rumble Hollywood, California, came into view. We then saw on the corner of Twig and Vine Street, RICHARD MlLLER,S Vine- yard Restaurant. 'iliichi' we were told, bought this from Tom Brenneman a few years back. Inside we recognized as master of ceremonies EUGENE SPONSELLER and JEAN SECHRIST as the featured singer. Then we saw a small apartment house. As the scene was brought closer we saw JACQUIE ESTEP patiently going over her dance routine, the Swoony Swan Dance, which she had made famous. fWe also heard that she had revised the Hootchie Coot- chie and made something quite modern out of it.J The last small puff took us out to Warner Brothers Studio and there we saw DICK ARNOTT doing a stand-in for Tyrone Power in a scene from the Saturday Night Date. ln competition with c'Hinge7, was his little sister, VERNA Lou who was starring in S'Hilarious Comedy, produced by Paramount so the Rajah informed us. Im- agine ! l ! Both the Arnotts in the Movies! ! As the smoke began to fade the writers came into view, we saw the South Bend Tribune and DORIS,S Want Ad for miscellaneous items such as: Baton pupils, piano pupils, clarinet students, and The Civil Engineer. On the opposite page we saw MARY,S advice column-her topic was What To Do With a Philandering Husband. And This, dear classmates, is what destiny has in store for you.

PROPHECY During our recent journey to the Orient we were privileged to visit the Oriental Carden of the famed 'Lseerf' Hajah Hubba-Hubba. While walking through the garden we ran into an old friend, Aubrey Schultz, who, we learned was Keeper of the Keys of the Hubba mansion and it was through him that we were permitted to see the Rajah. We herewith disclose to you the astonishing events that took place in this exclusive mansion. We were first ushered into a large room, heavily carpeted with oriental rugs. At the windows hung beautiful gold embroidered curtains and the walls were inlaid with mirrors from floor to ceiling. Then we entered a dimly lighted hall which led to a small darkened roomg entering the room we were greeted by a heavily robed and bejeweled figure which was the Hajah in person. He motioned to us to sit down by a small table. He then asked us what we would like to know. We told him we would like to know what the future holds in store for us, the class of ,46. Without a word to us he went through some queer motions and mumbled some magic words. No sooner had he spoken than his 'iatomicn crystal exploded and left in the air a large puff of smoke, from which emerged our classmates, one by one. The first thing that came into view was the Stork Club with neon lights which read: Starring Thompson's Tormentors. Looking inside we saw the leader of the band was JOHN THOMPSON. We noticed that BARBARA POSTMA was his featured vocalist. The Rajah interrupted at this point to tell us, and to our great surprise, that Barbara was now MRS. THOMPSON. Now who would ever have thought that John would go blond crazy! I l The Empire State Building then came into view and high on a ladder we saw a man industriously washing the 85th story windows-we were amazed to see that it was LYLE SMITH. The scene shifted to another of New York's night spots and we saw photo bulbs flashing as the wealthy oil heiress, HOSE HARTMAN, entered the Club Morocco on the arm of DALE HERSHBERGER, who was working for the Excellent Escort Service. The liajah told us that Hosieis Millions were inherited from Clell's Shell. We observed that the Photographers were from Spot Shot magazine and were none other than DALLAS BURKHOLDER and GEORGE FLOWERS. They got their first experiences in photography from working on the '46 Napanet and decided to make a career of it. We saw that the Morocco was run by BILL HOSTETTER. Nice going, Bill! l ! As we looked inside we noticed the snappy hat-check girl was DOROTHY HOOD. Now, Bill!!! Our view then changed to the Waldorf Astoria. Inside we saw that DELOROS KURTZ was head receptionist. She always wanted to spend a week-end at the Waldorf, iwitli or without Vanj. and now she was stationed there permanently. Rajah Hubba- Huhba broke in at this point and said, Speaking of Van Johnson, your classmate, JEAN DUNNUCK, has followed her heart's desire to Hollywood and is finally satisfied with being his private secretary. Next to come into view was the comic strip, Little Lulu, featured in the New York Times, and to our surprise it was drawn by our own JIM MI-:LLINGI-IR. The Rajah called our attention to the resemblance of Little Lulu to LOIS THOMAS, who was now the model. We then saw a brightly colored neon light saying, Moore's Modern Modes. Looking inside the large building the sign hung on we saw BETTY MOORE pinning and draping 'a clinging black nylon material on the shapely figure of her model LOUISE PLETCHER. Another small explosion occurred and Ashland College came into view. We saw a cheering crowd. We asked the Rajah what it was all about. He answered, Your classmate, HERMAN HALL, has reached the height of his coaching career as his Ash- land iliagles' have just defeated the Notre Dame Irish 97-32.9 Next we saw a jet-propelled train streaking into Carrettg jumping out of the engineer's cab was BOB CROWE. Could that really be his interest in Garrett? We wonder! l ! .L 1. f H - v-M
