CLASS PROPHECY OF THE FEBRUARY '43 CLASS H! The big night has come at last! The sweet strains of Howard Specht's Streamline Swingers float out over the many assembled guests-the February '43 grads. just in from the West Coast on the TransfAmerican Clipper are pilot John Harper and cofpilot Jud Antill, with their plane hostess Myrtle Maurer. Although most of the old gang seem to be enjoying the reunionalaughing and talking over old timesfthere is one serious group in a far corner, On going nearer, we find that it is Tim Martin, earnestly trying to secure votes from the big business executives, Robert Weber, Roy Witzel, Laurence Meiniger, and Bill Waag, for their candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, George Eichelman. Mae Pearl Pugh, designer of the exciting new ujillm creations, breezes in with her secretaries, Betty Heckel, Virginia Meyer, and Gladys Phillippi, and the Powers model, Erma Brandt, just as Ida Milito, singer with the band, croons ene of the new hits of the musical team, George Huckestein and Edward Connell. just as Ida finishes, in rush three trained nurses, Irene Rubacky, Jean Brethauer, and Claris Kaufman, with hospital dietitian Betty Barbarine, all breathlessly ex' plaining that they were late because they met an accident on the way and had to give first aid to the victims. The athletic group huddle, as though preparing to score a touchdown, at a small table. Aldo Romanin, now playing proffootball with the Chicago Bears, discusses with Dick Fischer, coach at Pitt, and Charles Heberling, basketball coach, who's who in sports. while Virginia Van Kirk, girls' gym instructor, and Raymond Jones, track star, aid the conversation, Suddenly, as everyone listens rapturously to the solid jive of jumpin' jack Lacock on his magic drum, and Richard fGabrielj Beckas trumpet, Gene Rapp, noted photographer, snaps -a picture of the whole group. Dorothy Eckert, assistant to the partyfmaking Elsa lvlaxwell, proposed a toast to the agrieulturist, Clare Cornelius, for the delicious apple cider, produced on his farm. Dot also adds that George Colwes and Homer Martin are president and vicefpresident of the You Load It, Vfe Haul It Company, which brought the cider all the way from Cregon. Bob Huckestein, master of ceremonies, now takes over the program and tells many surprising things about his former classmates. Mary Todd, it seems, has reached the heights that we were sure she would, for she is now the Dean of Vxfomen at P.C.NV.g Norma Del Fabro, a Lieutenant in the WAVES, has wired her greetings, which Hucky now reads. A celebrity is Betty Lou Kennedy, who has just been acknowledged the most photographed girl in Hollywood. Helen Lundell, Grace Coleman, and Ella Mae Dalton, more popularly known as the Three Singstcrs, are touring the country with Alvira Benincasa's All Cal Band , and are now playing at the Williztiii Penn Hotel where Edward Connell and Bob Cook are associate managers. Grace Patterson, owner of the El Rancho Dude Ranch, arrives with her assistant ranchers Frank Heltman, Ralph Mock, and Bill Lott, bringing delicious big beeff steaks from deep in the heart of Texas. Cutting a mean rug out there on the dance floor is Pete Rentzeperes, who assists Arthur Murray at the New York studios, along with Millie Dalton, who is also making a name for herself on the stage. Jean Berthold and Bob Baird, famed veterinarians, especially successful at the Bird and Beast Hospital, of which Robert Hayer is superintendent, are trying earnestly to bring around the animalf haters by a few appealing experiences. Business is said to be booming for Harriet Wfestermannis Advertising Agency, of which Louise Jones has recently become associate adviser. That fellow in uniform over yonder is none other than Dick Wirth, of the Miariiies, a war hero who wishes no glory or publicity. Ruth Wiiiiier has furthered her interest in people by operating a nationwide Page Twenty THE PERRYSCOPE f f ,IW t QU Wm,
