CLASS PROPHECY INTO THE VAST BEYOND” Ten years have elapsed since that memorable class of ’44 walked out of the doors of the Alma Mater. U-Hi. their diplomas in hand. In the auditorium of the dear old school. Margaret McCauley and Vera McDaniels, the noted History and English teachers, have called the student body together. The purpose of the assembly is to present to the students the television set that the school has purchased. This morning Misses McCauley and McDaniels will initiate the set by tracing their fellow-classmates of ’44 and thus acquaint the present student body with them. The first picture Hashed before the group is a new service station in Union which advertises Presto— ne; it is operated by Wilma ex-Timpy and hubby. Their next door neighbor is the former Carol Rinehart, a socialite, who is entertaining Doctor Cut-cha-up (Ehrman Bates) and his right-hand nurse. Janell Cockrell, another Florence Nightengale. As the dial is turned a vastly populated area is seen—a second glance shows it to lx the once small community of Mudde Creeke. A still closer view reveals a large opera house managed by the pianist. Vernuel Smith, and co-workers, Ann Stein and Marilyn Scroggin. The famous dancing team. Mickey Stringham and Gene Fortune (wait ., ballet, or jitterbug) are appearing there now. Nearby one can see the famous Mudde Creeke Manx Kennels managed by the very capable Dorothy Evans. Pendleton comes into view next with stars of the great round-up. Gene Stitzel and Gene Edvalson, performing miraculous feats on their trusty steeds. A slight moving of the dial brings them to New York. What’s this? Why it’s the new bride. Betty Lou Curl, who has settled down, at last, with her elderly husband who has just made his second million. Hulda Cosner, the authoress of the revised encyclopedia “Costanica , is her companion. Taking time out for a glance across the Atlantic, their eyes turn to Arabia, where a harem of beautiful girls is beheld. A second glance attracts the sheik to their attention. Why, it's none other than Clifford Burford. Now for a quick look into the dense jungles of Africa. Dick Greenwood, Dallas Dean and Otis Murray are on a hunting expedition, seeking valuable pells to bring home to their glamorous wives. In a wilder part of the jungle. Norman Gipson, the missionary, is converting the natives from cannibalism to vegetarianism. The next scene is of Alaska where Wayne Dennis and Patty Hill, incorporated, run their chain of synthetic gold mines. The dial is moved again and a brief stop is made at Sacramento where Errolo Lay. a well-known commercial artist, designs cards for Mr. Hallmark. Then on to Las Vegas, where Lamar Lay has attained reputation as the head of the “Divorce Mill”. As all things must come to an end so must the television trip come to an end but not without a second stop in Union. Donna Bateman, who has her own traveling theatre, is presenting her greatest performance of the year, here, this evening. Her guests will 1m the Union High School students.
