U(r here's an 0ld Spinning ‘Wheel While rummaging through an ancient attic we came upon an old Spinning Wheel. ( n the wheel were written these words: Spinding wheel ur wish to ask now this year is done. Wh.it is to Ire the future task of the class of 1941? Scarcely had we finished reading these words aloud when to our delight the wheel began to weave, a pattern. Slowly, before us spread the scene «if a political rally. Casting our eyes towards a group gathered in the middle «if a street we saw upon a soap box «mr old pal Ike MeAtec—forcefully arguing with a timid little man in the crowd, who, upon investigation, proved to be none other than Vernon Kclsay. As the magic threads spun on. they disclosed the scene of a concert hall where in the eminent violinist Bessie Stevens and her etpially famous pianist Iris Monticth were rendering the “Swing version of the still popular Jeanic With the Light Brown Hair . Gazing far inl the balcony we spied a lone crooner. Leland Sewell filling his soul with the entrancing rhythm. As the pet tern abruptly ended a new «me unfolded before «mr eves. (.«Miking into the life of Kitty Wetzel, we sec her happily enjoying life with her husliand and quintuplets whose 5th birthday is the event of a great celebration. As the spinning continued we came upon a business office, in the bustling city of New York, relaxing in a swivel chair, his feet upon the desk and hands folded over a magnificent paunch we see Mr. Karl Bleile Jr., dictating to his petite secretary “l)ot” Maulding, who is perched «in his desk gayly swinging her legs. Suddenly, in strides the fjm«ius movie producer Runny” ('lark who is now producing the story of his life Better Late Than Never starring none other than Mac Smallwood, with his well known drawl. Our next glance takes us to huge Madison Square Garden where the light weight, lamis Vearrier is defending his boxing title against Fighter Irish Hcaty. Looking through the ropes wc see Orpha Stanley; Warner cheering loudly and excitingly. 1 he referee. Bill Cooke steps into hte ring at this point the scene fades anJ emerges into another. At s«il«in of Madame’s Hebert and Dunning wc find, peering beneath a mud pack, the countenance »f another old mate Lmise Vallier, wealthy d«»wagcr of Bark Avenue. Also we find the newly rich Catherine Clark removing that surprised look from her face. Passing «in t«i a comfortable and homey scene we find Eleanor Hills, and husband, enjoying a hand of bridge with the newly-weds Flora and Harry. Near the window, is a 5th party. Tom O’Connell dreaming up the final chapter of his next brnik My D st Love. The pattern now reveals the excitement of the volleyball courts where Virginia Bordune is coaching her Great 8 volleyball team. The star player is the daughter of the former Shirley Ream who is watching from the side lines as her referee husband prepares for the next game. Tnim this gala scene wc find ourselves transported to a spot in darkest Africa where Marylin Jones an l husband are «filing missionary work. Entering into the wilderness we meet Johnny V. Selling Cannibal Hamburgers t«i the natives, his chief cook Ben F«»x reports the business thriving. As the wheel nears the end of its weaving wc see pictured before us a beautiful hotel, which shows within it the marriage ceremony of Dodie Wilson, who is marrying her 6th husband. Robert l avey. Standing near by wc find “Swanec Swanson and Ulc Allen, the stars of tire modernized Romeo anti Juliet . Preceding the ceremony Chet Wilson the great ten«ir sings 1 Love You Truly accompanied bv Walt Palanuk and Roy Randall members of the hotel orchestra. Gradually the threads break «me by one leaving the patterns in an indiscernible heap on the dusty flo«it. Suddenly shaking our hea«ls wc fiMiked at each other-then at the floor—there was no sign of material there we wondered—could we have been day dreaming.
