Pa JANE E. DALY ENIOR classes are forever looking into the future and we are no exception. Therefore we dust off our crystal ball and peer into it ten years hence. Who in i944 is what in l955. Rita Giordano comes into our line of vision first. She is Broadway's newest sensation and is opening at the Center Theatre as Lady Macbeth. Also on the bill are Janet Marie Staffhorst, Primrose Wintermeyer and Jack Fontan. fthe latter has the title role.l Aha! Here is more talent. Alfred Price and Edith Gempler are doing skits on W.P.A.T. with Joe Hecht and Arthur Pollard as engineers for the station--and speaking of radio we view Pete Swoonatra Pantoliano rocking the MlKE and making the girls drool while his side-kick Ken Ryder, the Frankenstein of l9'55, has them screaming with horror. Now we see Camilla Ashurst, Rutherford's U.S.O. senior hostess, trying to out-talk Russ McGonegal, the multi-millionaire, married to Phyllis Palmer. Evelyn Fisher is secre- tary tolthe criminal lawyer Harold Owen, who is married to Janet McGovern, the ex-bobby sox gir . Peering closer into the crystal we see Charlie Longua, president of the Rochester Fin- ance Corporation backing a circus owned by Kent Carlson and Roland Van Arsdale lll. At last-Jackie Winand, Bob Henderson and Bart Stephenson have bought brand new cars- with engines!!! Jeanne Price recently did away with her Sth, Morgan McKeever, president of the National Hobo Association. In the clear blue sky of the crystal ball we see Peggy Pons and Jean Mclntyre floating around in their heliocopters. Working on rockets going to Mars is Bob Boesch, that eccen- tric scientist, who is running around with Barbara Collison, treasurer of the Rutherford Na- tional Bank. Now into the line of vision comes Bob Giles, owner of the Giles Funeral Home, his wife Ginny Allen does the embalming and Eva Erky is their secretary. Evelyn Hansen and Louise Lennox are having a knock out and drag in battle to decide which will be Lady God- iva of this year. Next we find Dorothy Marschner, Kate Baastrup and Marion Bueckling settling their difficulties in court-whose hair is the fairest? Tommy Butler and Henry Hartmann have taken to the swamps to make their living catching muskrats. Wilma and Florence Freese are staging a wrestling match tonight for the benefit of Jeanne Thompson, who broke her leg climbing a tree looking for birds. Something is zipping across the ball. Oh, 'but of course, Phil Martin sprinting around the world and Bill Ward running a close second. Miss Claire Pfeffer is trying to keep up with them so she can get the story. Bette Topp has been resting since she left high school. iThe strain was too much for her.l Keeping her company down at Miami Beach are Gene Tutzauer and General James Griffin, U.S.M.C.--Marshall Saville is batting his head against the walls of M.l.T. trying to tutor Charlie Potor through pre-flight. Dot Hutten spends all her time amusing the intellectuals Barbara Hillhouse and Elaine Pankoph. Rich Meury is finally on the line-up for them Bums . Playing pro-football this year are Charlie Crifasi and Harry Towe. Blotting out the last vision comes one of Bruce Baxter and John Lull playing tennis. By the way, Bruce is married to Milly Brett, the designer. Louise Alesci and Doris Wells are running Madam 'Lyn de Hopp's modern dance school. While George Houghton is giving lessons on growing to Blanche Rosenberg and Helen Quinones. Bob Kennedy, Fred Meir and John Visco just can't leave the Navy.
