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. Mary Helen Walters Doris Anglin
