In the horizon we see a group of Indi- ans, who are gathered around a bonfire, smoking their peace pipes. AAs the medi- cine man arises, he is enveloped in the smoke. As we stare into the smoke, the ligures of the savages seem to change slow- ly into the members of the Class of 1945 as they will be in the year 1955. Many of this class have reached the height of their ambition. Of course, there are others who have not been so fortunate. Well, Rattle Your Bones with Bobby Iones , the great rival of Sammy Kaye, has now as his featured players, Eugene tHarpol Farrenkopf, Frank lGrouchol Gard, and Iames CCurlyl Frentriss. What's this, an accident? a fire? a fight? No, but now we know why the am- bulances have worn their tires to a frazzle. It's because the girls have trampled each other trying to get a glimpse of Kenneth The Throat Throgmorton. But there is one lovely damsel whose heart does not quick- en at the sound of his voice and that is Alyce Boecker, who tends faithfully to her husband, Admiral Ierry Teutemacher, and she's constantly guarding their small con- voy of three little yeomen. Professor George Boersma has just re- ceived his master's degree and is now the head of the noted Northwestern Abnormal College ot Men. Art Brophy has now developed quite a bay window since he has been employed as chief sampler at the Garlic and Onion Quantity Output Co., owned by Tom Smith. We can remember the day when the sight of Mush drew the attention of many girls. Now he wonders why the girls run for the nearest exit. Not even his best friends will tell him. Ray Pinerski hasn't changed much, even as a general in the army, since he is now in the hospital, attended by Lt. Vivian Fugate. He has sprained his neck while in- specting WAC recruits, one of which vas Ellen Upchurch. Ah! Esquire has topped its sales since they have made Virginia Carahoff their of- fical cover girl. Dolores Dumbsky, the one and only redhead of the class, has turned to a brun- ette, because she insisted that her hair match her new convertible car, which was given to her by one of her new admirers. Ned Smith is conducting a Gallup Poll to determine which is the favorite flavor of lipstick. Of course Smitty insists he be the only judge. Line forms to the right, girls. At last Ioe Louis is defeated by the heavy weight, Martin Hoernig. Of course, the fact that Tom Hilbrich, Martin's trainer, put a few horse shoes in Martin's gloves had nothing to do with his victory. Louella Parson's column of Iune l, 1955, has just announced the surprising engage- ment of Bill Van Iohnson Ellison and his leading lady, Evelyn Bombshell Drang- meister. Their romance began in the fa- mous motion picture, The Love Affair of Minnie Mouse. Wouldn't you know, Bob Hagge is pro- ducing the Hagge Follies of 1955. His main stars are Mary Popa and Vera Hill. Ah! A change of scene. We see a roomy and comfortable guard house. Pvt. Doris Rieplinger of the WACS is the sole inhabitant, because she dared to tell Sgt. Rita Thiel her slip was showing. The headlines of the New York Bazoo- ka, edited by Thelma Gettler, tells the story of Anna Popa's discovery of a new high explosive, while trying to boil some water. Be prepared for a shock! Pilot Ron
