je » On June 25. 1956. exactly ten years after the graduation of the illustrious 46 Seniors, a friend and I set upon an excursion to find the whereabouts of our classmates. This proved to be very enlightening! We want immediately to the Keith Tower, erected by the enidite scientist, Mr. Henry Keith. From this tower one could see points of interest all over the world. We picked up our telescope and looked first upon a beautiful cottage in Pack Forest. We saw Pot and Ken and their two children seated around the dinner table looking very happy indeed. Ken is now owner and sole proprietor of the Amusement Park which features square dancing on every night but Sunday. Turning to California, we saw in the Sequoia Forest a guy resembling Ernie Vamum and, no wonder, it was Ernie. He was laboriing to chop down a giant redwood with his penknife. Ernie said he never liked to work anyway, and he figured this was the best he could get in that line. Jumping from the great west back to New York, our eyes traveled to the Starlight Room of the Waldorf-Astoria. And, guess what! The featured band was that of Les Olden, who had just recently taken over the band of the aging Harry James. Hopping over to a penthouse on Fifth Avenue, who should we see but Ubby Beswick, who immediately after graduation, had Income Libby Goopen- heimer IV. Lib told us that she had been made an honorary member of the Stork Club after the arrival of her last of four sets of twins. All of a sudden a Hash came over Lib’s radio from the capital saying that George Ireland had been elected president of the United States on the Demo- cratic ticket. Now we were sure that Ginni Pratt could get her bill through Congress concerning the raising of the price of pork. Sarah Combs, incidently. through her influence with President Ireland, received a swell job in George's cabinet as Secretary of Labor. As we looked upon a funeral parlor in Minneapolis, we found Edna Williams whistling at her work, and trying to talk at the same time. When asked about business, she replied that it was fine, as more | eople were dying every day. Even so, she was not sure how long it would last, as Murray Pratt had just concocted a new longevity pill, which enabled p.-ople to live indefinitely. Although not perfected, the pill business made Edna so angry that she nearly tipped over a bottle of embalming fluid. We then turned our focus back to Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshoe in New York where Len Harrington, special envoy to UNRA, was seen gazing dreamily at Billy Rose’s gorgeous gals. Len informed us that his friend. Puffer Robinson, was chief executive for the Schlitz Beer Co. and Puffer was getting huskier every day. Don said that Gert was home taking care of their three beautiful children. He told us that their wedding ceremony was performed by none other than Pick Leins, famous Mormon pastor. We then turned our gaze to Beevin’s Reformatory where we found Mary Pasco teaching English. She was doing the kids a lot of good. When we glanced toward far-off India we looked upon a sparkling pool situated in front of a beautiful castle. Who’s this sitting by the pool surrounded by gorgeous women? Yes. you guessed it—John Robinson. He must be in Seventh Heaven now. He had heard via radio of the marriage in Chicago of two popular girls-about-town. Yes, Marcia finally married Ken Johnson, and Joey Sallans married George Sprague. It was a double wedding, we understand, and the couples went on a honeymoon trip together to South America. Upon entering we saw Mary Brannon Kenyon trying in vain to listen to Spike Jones’ program. The vocalist, Lyn Magee, was giving her rendition of “Cocktails for Two” in Spanish. The reason for Mary’s difficulty in hearing was that Ted, Jr., had just caught his hand in the wringer of the washing machine and was crying like mad. Did you ever wonder what happened to that l eautiful wolfess. Alice Walker? Well, she’s running a hot dog-soft drink stand outside of Schenectady and is doing a wonderful business. In Philadelphia, we witnessed an accident. Fortunately, no one was seriously crippled, thanks to the surgery of the great doctor, Vivian Ide. Yes. Viv’s a great surgeon, and has just discovered a drug, even better than penicillin, which she condensed from the d?w of grass. From the hospital, we entered the Home of the Feeble-Minded, where we found to our surprise, small and debonair Jo Harrington. She was not.to be sure, emolled as a patient, but was the head nurse of the institution. Because of its great distance from the States, we left our visit to Grade Campbell for the last. You see, she and Jimmy and their four Parkers had retired to live in South Africa, where Jim is employed as a big game hunter for the Bronx Zoo. We then took leave of the famous Keith Tower with happy memories of W.C.S. refreshed. Edna Williams Miralyk Magee
