Warren Newman is in a plane in lead Of one division of battling sector, While jack Kirby has charge of another. NVe stand for a while watching the small planes With their great mobile agility, change Direction in formationg then with speed Of four hundred miles per hour, they re- cede.

I U , 4 a EE CLASS PROPHECY W'earily, many a long and lonesome night I have spent in setting -the stars a'right, Observing' until the- wierd, 'wee hours, The aspects of heaven's open bowers. And the 'planets gave many a deep dark thing Power to see in the future, and bring The revelation to mortal eyes, As was taught to me by the starlit skies. Turn the pages of life ahead twenty Years, happiness and sorrow aplenty, We shall find in this living future age. Professor Wilfred Sellars, the wise sage, Expounds on man and his strange deep mindg And on infinity uncontined. ln the same field is also the leader Doctor Betty McOmber, the famous mind reader. Here too are the famed mathematic teachers Who both have the rank of professor. Olive Hoffman in trigonometryg Virginia MacLean in plane geometry. From college we stroll down the avenue. A most wonderful and inspiring view- The skyscrapers shut out most of the light, So that the streets must have lamps to be bright. The traffic is handled by tiers of street: Mechanically aired to keep down heat. And better the way for travelers. Ann Edmunds, the great civil engineer, With the famous architect Corrinne Fries' aid, Have improved man's living, and turned a Page Of progress, by improving travel vogue, To a safer, swifter, and easier mode.

Her tours of demonstrative ice skating Were prohtable and entertainingf We Fund a cartoon by Jean Anderson In which the Chicago Politician, Wayne Dunlap, is supported and pictured. A column whose success is never feared, Is the humorous one edited by our own Dick Cummings. When by chance she can- not hove Off a jokeg she reviews the latest and breeziest book, For the Ann Arbor News or the old Out- look. We pass the office of the great lawyer, Lee Hanawalt, coming to the theatre. We enter one of the famous Scharfman String of shows. Atwell is the leading man. Ralf's ardent love making would alone be Vtforth seeingg even without the worthy Support of Harriet Ransom, the leading Lady, and Roscoe Brokaw, murdering, Hateful villain. Ted and Betty, along With their orchestra, accompany the songs, Acts, and the dances of the vaudeville. Robert Winchester is Hrst on the bill yVith a song entitled 'Unhappy Me.' Next Dot Norris on the piano, while Gin- nie Burchfield dances. Then jotter and Carson Appear as the best of comedians. Both the picture and bill are good. After the lights were on so that one could Look around we were struck by the color Scheme and beauty of the interior. Helen Nechodoma is the person To whose decorating intuition W'e owe the comeliness of the building. After we leave the show, and while walk- ing Down the street, we decide to eat and stop For a bite at the Stanford coffee shop. A Hello Babe when the music's over i iwwnlnmnnvrr' 'wr T995 -f--.. r
