a German book in a secluded corner table. After a gallant try to retain our composure, we turn again toward the stage, where Norma Chaponis is trying desperately to ring out i'Chopin's May' onnaise in all flats, accompanied by a duet with Phyllis Spooner and Lois Dean taking the honors. Two whistles are heard and Tony Mastro and Dick Pouliot rush in, chasing a mink coat, which is Irene Cwendron in disguise. She races by a table where Veterinarian Putnam is seated with a Erench Poodle, a Siamese Cat, and a Kodiak Bear. Chief bouncer, Stolaroff, swiftly removes the Dchef' who has made his future in nightclubs. At a corner table scientist V. McVickar is seated surf rounded with test tubes. The club is honored by a visit from the owner of one of the leading clothing stores of New York, namely The Zona Burlap Bag Company. Seated at a front table is ane Bath, accompanied by her sister-inf aw, Phyllis, discussing the latest creams and fashions. At the next table Presif dent Loomer of illiterate University and Dean Thayer talk over plans for a new school. This time they plan to add one more room to the original two. Barbara Foley Dunn and Eleanor Kender Judson are quietly talking over the latest cook book, when a shot is heard. There were no casualties, as it was only Dick Sylvester's old model car. We have time out for the mail as john Connolly distributes valentines to the customers. As we glance about the club, we see Mary Morrissey selling cigarettes, New York Artist, Tink Miller, sketching !iHRliWSl3l IRY, MASSACI lUSl?'I I'S portraits of the guests, and can Ryan taking shorthand in six di erent lanf guages. Lawyer Eiorelli, who has never won a case, and Playboy, Bob Dean, are discussing business over a coke. Io Hatch enters with her pallette. She has recently returned from Switzerland with Rena, who has been teaching the art of making cheese from goats' milk in the Swiss Alps. Outside we hear the screeching of brakes. Rawling's taxi makes an appearance with four slick chicks, C1. Montecalvo, H. Whittef more, D. Wahlstrom, and Trotta, all secretaries in large business concerns. Pushing along behind this throng is big game hunter, McWay, who enters with his big catch, a ferocious alley cat. Gerry Bartholomew of the Used Oil Company, with his secretary, Jo Leone, catch a bit of the spotlight. Richard johnson has Jean Collier cornered in the darkest part of the room, interpreting the last act of Macbeth, while Barbara Bryant is calling the hospital for a stretcher to take out Eddie Norris, who has just been overcome by an appendix attack. What is this strange thing that is happening to us? We seem to be drifting from our table toward the ventilators. Our quest must be nearly over. As we drift to the unknown world, we can hear Lydia Cassanelli, Beatrice Dudley, Charlotte Malhoit, and Eleanor Wysocki singing This is the End.

Class Prophecy Thirty years have passed since we were imbued with an amazing power, the power to preserve the age. ln trade for the magic brew which achieved this for us, we sacrificed our lives, which would be taken at the end of thirty years. Little did we know or realize that our quota of time could pass in such a rapid manner. Now we are on the brink of disaster, and we feel it fitting and proper that we revisit our old friends once more before we are compelled to leave them. Thus, with fear in our hearts and determination in our minds we have resolved to reach our friends at the earliest possible moment. Leaving the peaceful land of Nadas we leaped upon our flying toads and proceeded on our long journey whence we would emerge into a fantasf tic metropolis. Circling overhead and peering downward through the swirling haze, we caught our first sight of civilizaf tion. The toads immediately deposited us in the midst of humanity, where, to our amazement, upon touching the ground of mortals we immediately turned to mist. Our quest had be un. We first found ourselves stancing in front of a nightclub, and we immediately noticed the neon sign which read Abasf ciano's Capistrano. Doorman Kellogg was busy opening car doors and ushering in people. We first saw Ed Rourke and his cute wife, Pauline, passing through the glass doors. We followed them by taking advantage of our vaporized existence and drifted through the key' hole. We passed Midge Kennedy, the cute hatfcheck girl. As we were in the form of vapor, we were unnoticed by head-waiter, Richard L. Adams. We now find ourselves settled at a front table thoroughly unnoticed by anyone. Will Moore Carle's Sunset Lemonade breaks the general clatter, the curtain flies up, and the show is on. The micro' phone rises through the floor and, clinging to it, is Master of Ceremonies, Don Farmer: Through the courtesy of Merrill's Doughnut and Rubber Com' pany, we bring you Becky Bergman, reenacting her famous first act-'Three Gorillas and a Banana'Adirect from the broadway hit, 'Ridiculous '! Crash!! A new war? Invasion? No! lust lo Claflin accidentally swishing the con- tents of her table on the floor. All eyes turn from the stage to the door, where entering is celebrity, Richard H. Adams, with his five secretaries, H. Caraker, H. Cathline, Weagle, E. Whitney, and P. Ward. Who will tell his wife? However, the limelight is stolen, as the lights dim and Bob Menard trips out on the stage, accompanied by lreland's organ concerto and Dick Leonard, boogie-beating his licorice stick. Dot Hall of the muscle factory, with her two dumbbells, entertains by juggling a peanut, an ironing board, and a bucket of Marshmallow Fluff. Bob Wiles, surrounded by Hope Symonds, Dorothy Foley, Mary Pirone, and Vera Stomi, roar with laughter as the silly dillies, Amarel, Aulenback, and Dube, sing the latest crash hit, Moron's Cverturef' Attention then turns to waitress, Lucy Todisco, who has calmly tripped and spilled an ice cream soda and a double malted down the back of Phyl Lutz who is busily poring over 3U MAJOR HOVVARD W.
