The Time Machine The Time Machine is set for the year l97O. We turn the switch and the machine is set into operation. Slowly we are transmitted into the future and we find ourselves at Station K-U-L-P T. V. where a telethon is now in progress. The proceeds of this event will go to- ward defraying the cost of a new City Hospital. PETE DANIELS lformer Senior Class Presidentl is acting as M. C. of this charity affair. Among the members of the orchestra we find a few members of the class of 55. JOHN NORSTEDT, now a famous concert pianist, is playing one of his own musical compositions We find TED KANIA performing on the drums, GEORGE GRISCAVAGE with his tuba, and DONALD MACHUSAK playing the trumpet. Among the performers are CONCETTA BRESSI and MICKEY SWARTZ who will do the very latest dance steps. ELLEN KOVACH will also entertain by displaying her acrobatic skill. As the time passes many calls are coming in and are taken care of by telephone oper- ators under the supervision of BARBARA KADYSZEWSKI and BARBARA SAWEIKIS, As we return to the show we see KAY JANOKA, CONNIE SWITZER, and MARIE SWAIKA modeling the latest fashions especially designed for this occasion by BERNADINE CEBOLLA and OLGA MACHOSKIE. Those in the audience who have been here for hours are now leaving for lunch. Many of them are going to the Golden AppIe which is located next door to the T. V. station. This famous restaurant is owned and operated by CARMEN CESARI. As we search for a table and gaze about we observe that RALPH FULGINITI is the chief cook. On one of the tables is the magazine Entertainment. Our eye is attracted by the cover, featuring a beautiful girl with a novel hair style, drawn by JACK TOMINOVICH. Leaf- ing through the magazine we discover an article written by RACHEL ALLEN who is currently a famous journalist. We are also intrigued by the cartoons of ANTHONY STEPANOVICH. Aproaching blithely to take the diners' orders is EDNA OWCZAREK. The service is prompt and cheerful and upon leaving we see that ROSE DELBO is also a waitress here. As the people are returning to the Telethon we encounter many old classmates. Now entering the building are RAY NOVAKOSKI and LOTTIE VARANO who are Mechanical En- gineers. They will draw up the blueprints for all of the equipment for the new hospital. Also in the lobby we find R. N.'s MARIANNE OLSHESKI and BARBARA HERMAN, who will work as head nurses there. With them are policewoman STELLA ALEXIS, displaying her many medals of merit, and ROSALIE PISARZ, who is a meteorologist with the Metropolis Branch of the U. S. Weather Bureau. As we speak with them we are informed that home- maker JOANNE DALPIAZ is unable to come to the studio. But we are sure that she is view- ing the show on her T. V. set, a gift from MORRIS GARD'S T. V. store. Now we see those great college football coaches JOE GENCAVAGE and CHET KRUL- ESKI being escorted to their seats by MARIE AVELLINO, an usherette. Also returning to their PAGE TWENTY-TWO

The Time Machine seats we see I, B. M. representatives, MARION FIORELLO and LOIS SHERIFF, who are in charge of tabulation. We return to our seats and resume watching the show. Now performing are comedians JOSEPH ZYSKOSKI and EUGENE SINOPOLI, academy award winners for their performance in Gwana Gwana. JANET DAVIES, just returning from work, comes and sits just in front of us. She tells us that she is working for WILLIAM POLLOCK, the owner of a National insurance agency. As we are conversing, the playwright, ANDREW PETRO, comes and takes a seat nearby. With him is career woman, DOLORES WERY, who lends her technical advice. Now coming on stage are the guests of honor, ROBERT BEAVER, a College Professor, and ANDREW GRAZIOLI, the owner of a number of factories across the country manufactur- ing hunting rifles. After the interview JOSEPH RUTHS, Champion Wrestler, comes before the audience and exhibits his highly developed biceps. Another comedian, RALPH PROCOPIO, now enters the spotlight to display his talents. As a final performance on this Telethon, MYRON STARINSHAK sings a selection which was composed by FRANCIS RAKOSKI. We take a position near the exit and watch closely as the audience leaves. Among the members of the audience we see JEROME ZBICKI, an operator of the renowned nightclub, The Night Spot, accompanied by the professional basketball star, WALTER WYDRA. As we gaze across the street we see one of MICHAEL DUNlCK'S many poolrooms, in front of which is parked JOHN POLLOCK'S newest racing car. A long, shiny red limousine now drives up in front of the studio. Admiral JOHN FUTCHKO and General JOE CARABINI enter the car and are driven to their destination by the trust- worthy chauffeur ALLEN SLODITSKI. When we see the last of the studio audience, EUGENE HABOWSKI, gas station tycoon, and his ace mechanic, JOHN DERR, leave, we make our way backstage, to note the result of the Telethon. While backstage we meet the Pizza King, ' SAMMY VARANO, who will distribute an ample supply of his product to those who participated freely in the spectacle. JOHN BARANOSKI, who designed the scenery, has just informed us that the Telethon was an overwhelming success, having received an amount of donations which was far above the original quota. The hours have quickly passed and without warning the Time machine brings us back to the present. What a secure and happy future is in store for the Class of SS if all that we have observed here comes true ..... only time will tell. B. KADYSZEWSKI M. OLSHESKI PAGE TWENTY THREE
