completed vanished. Helen and Claire have a ver good troupe of dancers, which includes Emily Livingston, Helen Gordon, and Esther Dirnlich. Now turning the knob to the left I see that George Richards and Florian Mar- coux, who drove the racer Thunderbolt along the bank of the Shawsheen River at 900 miles an hour, have been arrested by Police Chief Donald MacLellan for driv- ing too slowly on Demkoski Boulevard. I wonder what the boys were driving, offi- cer? Horses! A loud noise on the Photo machine tells me that Ballardvale is calling. Ovei the waves flashes a picture of Robert Mears, now manager of Dick ' s Variety Store. Next I see the Vale ' s Mayor. Arnold Schofield, giving an address from the balcony of the Vale Post Office Building, now twenty stories high. Teaching in the Ballardvale school are Florence Bernard and Cornelia Yancy. Ruth Webster is seen in Dick ' s Variety, signing autographs. She is now the number one personality girl in the country. Back in Andov er we find Jane Patter- son, unveiling a statue of our hero, Wil- liam Holland, who in 19 ' 4 sank four enemy vessels single handed. The Bugler has reached the streets, and Jack Henderson and Art Beer appear in a picture on page one. Jack, who now owns the Andover Recreational Cen- ter, defeated Beer, owner and President of Tyer Tech, in a game of pool in Hen- derson ' s Recreational Center. He has been trying to beat Beer in a game of pool since 1943. Beer, who sneaked home when the streets were empty, states that Henderson just barely beat him on some awful screwy shots. Why did Arthur sneak home when the streets were clear? Well, the stakes were really high in this friendly game of pool. Dialing 320, I see that the Andover General Hospital has a very capable and famous surgeon, Jeanne Gregory. Aiding her are an efficient assistant, Mary Elli- son, and an able corps of nurses: Irene Kupis, Isabel Deyermond, Rovena East- man, Ethel Watts, and Muriel Pullen. At the desk of the hospital is that capable secretary Teresa Nollet, who is seen bang- ing away at the typewriter keys. Andover indeed has developed a great deal since 1943. Yes, and to think that the class of ' 43 has had so much to do with it! Slowlv the lights dim and flicker out. I try desperately to get the machine work- ing again, but my effort is futile. A very complicated part has burned out and I shall not he able to see into the future for a V hile. I, like the rest of my fellow mor- tals, must wait to discover what time has in store for me.
