D. when science, politics, and civilized peoples got ahead of themselves in their mad rush for supreme power. Now there was just silence. Unly deep. penetrating silence. limp- tiness and void. VVhat was that? Had something stirred? Had anything survived? Slowly, foggily, as if in a dream, the seemingly lifeless bodies lifted them- selves and stared through glassy eyes at one another and the nothingness that had once been their world. And by the most incredible co- incidence, the queerest twist of fate Ccall it what you mayb. the only survivors were ..... yes. the only survivors were the class of 1946 l I Thus began the era of HUBBQ Cdon't try to pronounce itl, the new millenium. Suddenly some irresistible force, perhaps their close bond of friendship, drew this handful of people together to plan their new world. lt would be difhcult: many obstacles would have to be overcome: but with their super-sensitive minds, their highly intellectual realm of thought, the class of '46 would survive. The days flew quickly by as life began once more. liach person had his task to fulfill and went about it in an enthusiastic manner. The watch had begun ticking: and all the parts were in perfect working order. Bruce Bailey, the per- sonihcation of perfect sign painters, began work- ing industriously, printing in his inimitable style. directing everyone in all walks of life.

.gylzaron ,Mg ardengofal fi ww 1946 solve the daily problems in arithmetical pheno- mena, given by Professor Frog Bartlett, mad scientist who invented the electro-magnetic slide rule with which he was trying to locate himself in relation to the man in the moon. He was aid- ed by the only woman physicist, Judith Paul, who, insisting that his calculations were wrong, pre- ferred to work the problems out, thus spend- ing the rest of her life finding herself. Despite the small population there were some differences of opinion on important topics of the day. lValking along the plutonium streets, one often saw the great orator, Calvin Einis fwho had followed the speeches of Cicero avidlyj on his little soap box passionately propounding his theories on the Pros and Cons. Somehow, though,he never seemed to reach the point. Among other notable debators was the famous team of Phyllis Rodman, brilliant lawyer and mediator, and Raymond Letourneau, owner of Priscilla, the fastest flying horse of the millenium, who spent hours pleasantly discussing this and that. Life was sweet. Every month Stan Grue, idol of all, appeared, causing many hearts to beat wildly when he pass- ed his diamond-studded comb through his beauti- fully waved hair. This new appeal was called Dynamic Tension. Then George Tolman, of- ficial water boy, ran through the crowd that gathered, selling his magic brew to restore them to normalcy. Following closely on his heels, Phyl- lis Friberg, owner of the Futura Cafeterias, sold her famous fried burgs to the delight of all, while Barbara Chadd, bowlin' champ, exhibited her remarkable powers of control, after which the ace photographer, -lohn Wright, who was developing a new five dimension moving picture complete with all six senses, showed his famous collec- tion of the female of the species. Although this was a new world, more advanced. better managed, more progressive, the small daily tasks of the people were still necessary. lfvery morning Robert Parrish in his flying horse and buggy would drop milk from the ex- Pagr' Thirly elusive farm of Spear and Parrish, monopolizers of all agricultural advancement, where, by pressing different buttons on the mechanical cows, all the dairy products could be obtained plus a few ice creams sodas and such. George Sweet, the veterinarian with modern ideas, lived with the cows to see how they ticked. Regularly Bill Niethold set out, armed with his electric dart- gun to hunt for food. At the end of the week he returned, laden down with rare delicacies such as nightingales' tongues and roast Peacocks. ln the business world many important in- dustries and professions were rapidly becoming prominent in the eyes of the people. The ultra de luxe plastic department store left nothing to be desired. It was run under the able leadership of Russell VVhite, promising young business man- ager, who was endowed with a phenomenal ability for making money. Employing the glamor- ous young secretary, Dorothy Dennen, Russ show- ed that he had an eye for figures. New fashions were designed by hlademoiselle Araby lilorgan, who had recently distinguished herself by creat- ing a new gown from one yard of material. llodels for Klademoiselle were lXIisses Shirley Harris and Frances Savino who had been chosen as The Girls NVho Know Their B. B. Q.'s. Daily Socialite Nancy Scott, pinup girl of the police force, sent her maid for new creations and had a well-stocked wardrobe of chrome yellow through no fault of hers. Butler's Beauty Barn, run by the efficient Lorraine Butler, catered to all the young lovelies of HOBBQ fl said, Don't try to pronounce it l and thrived because of the beau- ty potion, discovered accidentally by llliss Butler as she fell into a mud puddle. Frequentinfl the salon, was Constantia Brown, popular piano virtuoso and teacher, who was leading a double life and thus was constantly under Miss Butler's able care. Speaking of music, ,lim Licorice Stick Montgomery, jazz fiend, was finding some real competition in lfiddlin' hlildred Parry. How those notes flew! Almost every night lflliott Aron- son, traveling salesman, could be seen accompany- ing Dave VVoof-XVoof Paul, on the trail of
