Chippewan .-- - - Returning again to Starbuck, we wend our way through streets throngezi with people shooting by on electric Speedo-Shoes. Super-rocket Autos whizz by as the glaring light of the Benson Astoria Hotel attracts our attention. Curiosity overcoming us, we make our way through large revolving doors to the glass top marble desk where Norman heartily wel- comes us. Really, could it be only twenty years ago since we received our diplomas? Yes, it hardly seems possible that our victory of '45 could produce such great medi- cal and research advances. Speaking of inventions, Norman shows us an electric telo-eye left for approval by Doctor Theodore Ross on his return to Paris, France, where he is supervisor of all telo-research. The queer device which Norman demonstrates to us has the power of Seeing and Hearing All Things. Naturally we want to see and hear what our former classmates are doing. The. dial is turned to a large auditorium in Venice. Italy, where the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra is giving its annual concert. As the featured singer comes fort h, we recognize him as one of our classmates, Karl Halvorson. The pianist is Betty Mae Forde. Their musical careers are gaining fame for them. The scene changes! Is it a fancy? A dream? No! Phyllis is in reality chief telephone operator on Mars. This time we are in a large Eastern city where Nora is touring with her specimens of one-legged spiders and their ready-to-wear silk hosiery. The one-legged spider, very scare, spins ready-to-wear nylons. Ellwood is perched on a high fence post, crooning to :ll shy maidens who pass by and stop, look and listen. Oh! here's Lorraine Brenden way down in Arkansas. She has become the famed Mrs. Dionne II. She has named her quintuplets Jingle, Jangle, Pingle, Kolingle and Pezingle. H The scene changes like a flash! Oh yes-Floyd, a milkman, is delivering milk on the Milky Way route. We hear a familiar voice coming from a little church in the valley. Oh, now we remember! The voice is that of Reverend Ralph Brevig, a venerable minister. ln the voices of his choir we can hear Olive Lingen and Evelyn Lorvig. O wondrous vision! Florida! Here is Olive Halvor- son, owner of the largest sanitorium in the world for heart-broken maidens at Lake Okechobee. Flash! Here's Claremont giving flying instructions to a group of' young aviators about to take off on their first solo flight. Chicago! Ruth Larson, on national hookup, is sing- ing to all lonesome Air Cadets. We hear Kenneth giving orders to all participants of hot-lunch projects. He has taken over all supervision of the surrounding schools' Hot Lunch Projects. The telo-eye shakes with a thunderous roar! As it t6J IQ45 gradually ceases to vibrate we see Lewis Hidem and Ernest Ranum in the famous boots of Abbott and Cos- tello. Their laughing techniques are of modern nature. We see an excited crowd gathered about a speaker. It is Viola Benson, an ardent suffrages, giving a thrill- ing lecture on the 'LBenefits Derived From Woman Suffrage. Over a stately bank the name Thompson flashes on in red, white and blue. Onan's patriotic colors are derived from duties and savings during the rationings of '43 and '44. Hula, Hawaii! Here's Lillian-at last her dreams have come true! She is a featured dancer in the Hot Foot Club. What a cold and desolate scene! Yet, here is Harold Ranum, chief of firemen in Alaska. Up-Up! Ellsworth is driving the aero bus between Mars and the moon. Shirley Berg is still working in a canteen where she entertains and serenades the hundreds of admiring boys in uniform. Here's Vernon! He has just returned from the moon to find out what makes it attractive. However, his discoveries were not successful. A large department store! Art Raaum is making mufflers for giraffes. Venice! Moonlight, a gondola, floating down the sleepy lagoon. Olive Smedstad and Janice Miller, with their Dr. Lieutenant husbands, are vacationing from their nurses' duties. The next scene is in the South. Here we see Lor- raine Gaarder, who is the matron of an orphan's asy- lum. We also see Margaret Aaberg and Mavis Hansen ready to leave for China as missionaries. We see Arnold Danielson, who is manager of a large wholesale house. He is selling goods to Marvin Braa- ten, a senator from California, who won that honor by Lis convincing debates and lectures. Paris! Art Museum! Here we see Eva. She has re- cently been paid S5,000 for a famous sketch of Lew Lehr. A dream? No. Chester Olsen has become a tooth- pick millionaire. London! We are bewildered-A familiar face re- l'eves us. We see Sylvia Nelson, a famous doctor, who can cure anyone of blushing. The fate of time! Here's Harris Larson, still doing photography on Jupiter. This time there is a marked change of scenery for we see Bernice Miller is travelling in Switzerland looking for some long-lost Uncle who has made her lieir to his vast fortune. At last dreams have come true! Gylia has given up her teaching duties and is happily married to her Sail- or in Blue. lt is getting late and we must be on our way. Thank- ing Norman for the interesting demonstration of the where-abouts of our class and our enjoyable evening we bid him goodbye. B. M. and G. T.
