GIRLS AND ELECTRICITY I 'a Lge Twenty-six THE VIOLIN The violin is long and thin: The art of playing lies within. Il you want to play it right, First make sure you look at sight, Next you hold it with your chin, Now you are ready to begin. You move your liners up and downg Your bow goes up and then around. Next you learn your notes and scalcsg Then comes forth the dreadful wail. By the time you learn to play a song, The neighbors know where you belongg So you see your chance is slim, Of ever playing a violin. -loAN MARTIN 'k ANALYSIS OF A WOMAN Analysis of the creature known as woman, as seen through the eyes of the chemist.

A JUNE EVENING OF 1977 Here we are seated on the Starlight Roof of the Plutonia , that fashionable supper-club moored five thousand feet above the surface of the moon. The room is noted for its murals painted by the great artist, jonathan Sally. Ultra-gamma rays give off just enough light to stir sentimental memories in the still young hearts of the members of the Class of 1947. From our ringside table, which commands a panoramic view of the spacious dance floor, we see our genial host, Steve Sally, has just ushered into the ballroom Mr. and Mrs. Frederick R. Gloeckner. Fritz , our president of '47, now operates a giant Florist Syndicate and Floriculturc Research Center. He has developed a new type of flower, which hatches from an egg instead ofthe conventional seed. Fritz's success has been equalled by the majority of the class, most of whom are paying huge annual income taxes to their classmate, Louis Romeo, now Secretary of the Treasury, who is living happily in Niagara Falls fprcsent capital of the United Statesj with his pretty wife, Shirley McAncny. Incidentally, they were married way back in 1952 by the Reverend Thomas Boghosian, D.D. Speaking of finances, Eugene Burns has opened a loan agency-loans up to ten thousand dollars. fOf course, there is a small matter of twenty per cent interest per annum.D At a table near ours, we glimpse a happy group of W.H.S. alumni including Gubby Kapela and his charming wife, Shirley That's All Jallon, who are celebrating Gubby,s great athletic triumph-he finally did the four-minute mile. In the Kapela party are Mr. and Mrs. Paul Skinner. Paul is the Skinner of the firm of Skinner and McBain, the Friendly Undertakcrs. joining the group is Bill Peters, who is now president of the Saratoga Racing Association. He has recently come into prominence by changing the racing rules of the track-the drivers now pull the horses around the track, backwards. Look, all eyes are riveted on the entrance! Camille Cutie, first woman Vice-President of the United States, has just made a dramatic entrance on the arm of her husband, Clark Kent falias, shhhh! ! ! Superman J. Camillz-'s candidate, Gerry Terrill, was just elected a Congressional Representative from New York. It is understood in unofficial circles that Gerry won all his votes by making campaign speeches with his shirt off. Dancing gracefully by are those scintillating Powers models-'Marilyn Doust Wasilenko, Marion Mackay and Shirley Ray. The svelt and streamlined Shirley is a living example of what Rye-Crisp can do. That dreamy look in their eyes is caused by the mellow notes of Hack Bing Crosby Harris, the hero of thc red woolics , who are the 1977 version of the bobby soxcrs. He is crooning the latest lyrics of our famous songwriter, joan Martin, entitled How Green Was My Dream. Perhaps you know, Harris has just signed a five-year contract with M.G.M. Don't miss his new picture, Women's Delight , in which he co-stars with Barbara Aylesworth. The artistic and scenic effects in the super colossal tcchnicolor production are supervised by Dorothy Emanatian and Zackary Zendran. Apropos of movies, rumors have it that jane Meyer will win the l977 Academy Award for her part in the Twentieth Century production Lifc of a Cheerleader . Gathered together again are the sportsmen of the class. Teddy Baxter has become a famous pro basketball star, playing with the Renaissance team at a reported salary of 880,000 a year. With Teddy is Slugger Jim Wiseman, the middlcweight champion, whose next title bout will be with Comps Gongoleski at the Hollywood Bowl. Another of thc celebrities at the sportsmen's table is Don Muth, who now owns a herd of horses valued at five dollars per head, everyone a guaranteed sway-back for easy riding. Don's theme song is Old Rockin' Chains Got Me . Ah! the roll of the drums indicates that the specially imported Cafe Society entertainment is about to begin. Entertainment chairman for the evening is Lucy Foghorn Kaspariang and Lucy is now introducing Shirley Boyd, who appears by special permission of the Metropolitan Opera Company, where she is the leading soprano. As she Hnishes her aria, she joins her friends, Eleanor Bentley and Mary Meyer, who help her fight off the stage-door Johnnies . Eleanor and Mary, Department Heads of the Faculty of Science at Cornell University, have been con- ducting research on the development of the electronic bomb, about twenty times as powerful as the obsolete atomic version. And now the main attracion of the evening is ,lack Hebert, who has just been signed by Plutonia after three months with Ringling Brothers Circus, playing the part of chief clown. His song Zippity-doo-dah is bringing nostalgic tears to the eyes of all his former classmates. Listening very attentively to Jack is Peter Frank Sinatra Cornell, who is the district attorney for Albany County. Poor Pete was black-balled from the Esquire Fraternity because hc wouldn't pay his dues. CPetc still owes 846.57 to 209 for class dues back in 1947.1 Remember Bill Gensicki? Well, he is just being presented as thc famous radio comedian of the air waves. Bill will do a skit from his own radio show Pedro , which is sponsored by Dr. Bunnytwcrp's Better Bunion Cure. What's he doing now? Ah, he's giving out samples. 'Chain-smoking fifty-cent cigars over at a corner table is Frank Debrick, our new news analyst and foreign corre- spondent for Winchell's Gossip News . He is listening with great interest to that eminent graduate of Union College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Z. Ethelbert Ronald Powell. Ronnie informs him that he has perfected an electro-magno-super-dynamic bomb. Tonight Frank is escorting two charming Page Twenty-eight '
