S Hush-hush! Can you hear wee voices saying Mommie ? I see Emily and her Addisonite husband tno one in particular-just an Addison- itel.-and by the looks of things Em is raising little Em's who undoubtedly, like their mother, will become 'Sweethearts of Addison . Slowly the picture changes-Vaquely I see a group of children on the front steps of Painted Post Grammar School. They are reading funny books in a most eager-beaver fashion. Listen-one boy is saying Some Dish ! I Another says Lush Limbs ! Still another She's all reet ! A closer look in the book reveals to us, those funny book heroines, Ian Catchpole, Margaret Riddle and Ioyce Bannister. Vogue's best dressed woman of the year steps into the Crystal Ball now. Oh Latsyrc llab,-tell us quickly, who it is! Why of course-I recog- nize her now.-Kate Sutton, who since her award has been modeling dresses of her own design. But she smoothly steps aside as I hear cheering crowds and bands in the distance. A large poster is seen- Wolverton for mayoress - she fights for our rights ! By that, I know that little, petite, and quiet Doris Wolverton has had a big political rise and is now sponsoring a huge campaign. Who would have guessed it Not I! As she rides by on her throne of success, I again turn to the Crystal Gazer in astonishment and wonder. How does she know so much about the future of my class? What is in store for me? But my thoughts are inter- rupted once more by the sound of fleeting horses hoofs plus a thundering noise. All of a sudden Ann Ober appears-and disappears-and reappears: Woe, Ace ! Instead of catching the phobia for airplane driving, Ann has invented aluminum wings for her horse. When going a long distance, she equips the sacred animal with wings, and after landing lon all foursl, de- taches them just as easily. But before l know it, Ann is cantering off into the distance-finally off the globe. My attention was averted for a moment, until I heard a voice say, Press the flesh, keed . There were Kathleen Huggins and Thelma Griffin shakings hands in the renewal of an old high school acquaintance. Both are students at Lois Ann Iohnson's Liberal Academy -a school where any- thing can happen! Of course, both girls are getting along in years, but they'll surprise us any day now, by graduating. Lois Ann became the dean of women at L. A. as a result of her experience in H. S. student government. CHL. A. , by the way, was taken from Miss Iohnson's first two initialsl. The picture is fading-buzz, buzz-the whole town's talking! Bill Childs, in a hopeless the thought! attempt to crash the movies, has crowded Mickey Rooney right out of Hollywood! He's still starring in that Broadway hit, The Whole Town's Talking , which we all remember was cast at P. P. H. S. in the spring of '46. Ah-Chester Binney! My Mate! My Man! Swing yer partner! tThe next scene is a peculiar onel. There's- Margie Watkins-and Grace Bradylw teaching youngsters the fine art of square dancing at Deckertown Central! -Whoopsie! The lights dead--another corfplete fade cut. But Swamie, there are only four more members cf my class left ! Ah-alright-free cf charge, I shall lay down facts, merely facts, about the four remaining persons . l see leanne House as seamstress for Shirley Temple tl don't know her married name! and Laura Leach, B.A., M.A., Ph. D., working on her latest degree ther MBSJ. The last scene which presents itself in the Magic Ball is a court martial. Seated at the witness stand is Midge Velie-her wits on end-her nerves on edge-her lawyer gone! Cotter Cthe big cheese! is getting a drink! He enters
