WHO' WHO Although it has never been publicly announced, it is generally known. that I possess the remarkable power of projecting myself forward through the years into any given time in which I am interested. To-night, being restless and weary with the cares ot the day, I longed tor a change ot scene and time. So, closing my eyes and relaxing, I wished myself into the public library of this town, thirty years from now. Ifound myself in the reference room of a magnificent new building. As I glanced at the shelves. my eye was attracted by a thin red leather volume. Taking it down, I saw the title was VVho's XVho and XVhy in XVahpeton,'. Eagerly I turned the pages. VVhen I saw how interesting it was, I fled back into the Present bringing the book with me. As I must' hurry into the 5'Fu.ture again, in an hour. before the book is missed. 1 shall read it aloud to you. I am certain you will be interested. XYho's 'XVho and XVhy in XYahpeton , dedicated to the class of 1947, is the class which furnished most of the contents. The preface read thus: The only entrants who deserve a place on this roll of honor are the members of the class of 1947, a distinguished and int'ellectual group. In order to fill up the pages, however, other names were inserted, but need not be taken too seriously. Do you wonder that 1 rushed back to you with the book after reading its charming preface? In giving the list I will omit the dates of birth and of relatives to save time. RAMONA HOBZA is the owner and manager of a large chain of restaurants. They are called the Eat and Run Restaurants .
