One clear, bright June evening, as we are proceeding in a kelly green taxi to attend the gala ball on board the new ocean lines '68, we are astonished to note that the driver is none other than the successor to Mad Man Muntz, Earl Turner. Yes, it is the year 1968. This is the year when historians will need extra secretaries in order to keep up on the lists of supercolossal events. Much is expected of the world's people and right in the thick of things, pitching at all times, are the former members of the class of '48, Well, let's go aboard and look around this magnificent liner. When Shenton Shipyards, Inc., designed and built this liner, they didn't omit a single detail. Included in the list of wonderful details are ultra-modern eighty-eights, Joe Del Signore. The gathering has been graced by the attendance of Frankie Jewett and his silent partner, John Flubacher. We see Frank brought along three of his agency's best looking models, Juanita Bazter, Zeena Dennis, and Nancy Marshall. All of these girls are appearing in Bill Hunt's Fandels of 1968. This open house has attracted the tops in the business world. Editor Dick Pike of the Port Schuyler Daily Blow, IS here with his charming secretary, Bunny Paluck. The current president of the A.A.A., Ken Johnson, is in attend- ance. From here it looks as if President Johnson is attempt- mg to sell tickets to some future event. The owner of the Ding Dong Dude Ranch just breezed in dining rooms, fully equipped gyms, spacious theaters and a beautiful cocktail lounge. This rocket liner has everything the obsolete Queen Elizabethuhad, plus a few things the old Queen didn't have. Connoisseur of the beautiful lounge room is Ned De Sorrento. Ned claims he can concoct any mixture under the sun. Some of his concoctions will put you under, too. The entertainment in the lounge room is tops. Booked for the entire cruise is Bob Beare's new swing band, the Scat- terbrainsf' His array of talent includes Hot Lips Mc- Andrews on the sax and lanky Franklin Robetor handling the clarinet. Bob's singer is that new sensation of cafe society, the nightingale--Joe Cornell. Al-so booked to pro- vide entertainment is that popular piano duo- Mrs. Bee- thoven herself, Louise Mgurdichian, and the master of the C ASS minus the horses for once. Maybe you didn't know it but owner Gert Moore has the largest dude ranch in the West. Sportswriter Bob Rubino is here with some little sport of his own. We hear Bob keeps pretty much to himself these days. Evidently he decided to give the society debs a break and attend tonight. Speaking of debutants, we see several of New York's cream-of-the-crop here. Among those seated nearby with their chaperones, we see petite Diane Carofano, charming Helen McMann, beautiful Evelyn Webster, cute Marie Jen- sen, and fun-loving Mary Felack. Miss America of 1968, Eleanor Paley, is charming a select group at a corner table. Nearby is Hollywood's newest star character-actor, Sal Tedesco, being haunted as usual by

Nancy CBabyfaceJ Marshall leaves her well-used mistletoe to Mary Carpenter for next year's Christmas party. Our debutants, Helen McMann and Marilyn McCulley, leave their up- to-date styles to Vogue Magazine.

Nice-eh boys? Earl Turner, who has surveyed the problem carefully, leaves his inven- tion see-me-self shellac to the girls with frizzy locks and pale faces. CThis fgrmula, when applied to the girls' room wall, will produce a mirror-like e ect.J Because he does not wish to part with it, the Class of 1948 is forced to leave the blarney stone of Mario fSilver Tonguej O'Romano to the next red-headed Irishman who is capable of filling his shoes. The man of distinction, Bob Rubino, leaves his fathomless depths of knowledge about world affairs to Watervliet High History Department. Dot Soltis leaves nothing to . . . nobody. We hesitate to leave Ed Stevens' unusued bottle of vaseline hair tonic to anyone, for we still have hopes of his using it on those one or two locks that just won't stay down.

innumerable autograph seekers. Well, there are three around him anyway. Sal's latest achievements in acting were Joan, Come Back and Gold-diggerf' The Stanton-Fitzgerald Soda Company is controlled by Sal also. So if Joan comes back, why shouldn't she be a gold-digger. Let's stroll up on deck for a breath of air. Oh, look, there's Metropolitan star Geraldine Quinn getting a few pointers from the nightingale. Just look at these tile bulkheads and hardwood decks! Watch out for that couple near that wall-locker. Why it's Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ahearn. Of course you all know who the former Mrs. Ahearn was--of course. At last we meet the designer of this luxurious rocket- powered liner, Dr. David Shenton, D.D.T. fDoctor of Dam- sel Trainingb. The good doctor's latest achievement was the splitting of the particles left over from the splitting of the atom. So you see Dr. Shenton goes in for things in a big way. For pets he keeps rabbits because in the end he always has multiple numbers. Frank Jewett's silent partner is on the deck. Chinky Flubacher doesn't look good these days. He has quite a job leading that crack German soccer team, the Schnapps Eleven, and the grapevine has it that he is still trying to balance the books of his high school year book. Down in sick-bay we hear there is a marvelous dentist. When Tiny extracts a tooth, there is no whimpering. The gossip circulating about says that Bill Perkins whispers sweet-nothings into your ear while working on you. Bill PROPHECY has two nurses, both of whom are diligent, persevering workers. Although many claim the dentist gave his nurses their start in life, we do not believe either Miss Helen Hathaway or Miss Sonia Megreblian needed help: or did they? Incidentally all the chambermaids are wearing the peek-a-boo look created by that wonder of Sixth Avenue, Marion Pollock. Furthermore each steward is sporting a uniform cleaned and pressed at Radigan's Cleaners and Dyers in distant Latham, New York. Their motto is: Clean- liness and Neatness for All. Representing the sportsworld tonight are four national figures. Last year's American League's most valuable player, Lou Chu-Chu Cioffi has arrived, accompanied by the big three of New York's dream basketball team-chivalrous Bunker Wasilenko, debonair Bill Behuniak, and Bruce Cardell. Lou runs a coaching school for losing teams and Bruce operates a milk-farm for undernourished athletes. Well, it looks as if Rose and Mary Torosian have finished their floorshow, and that means the open house is over. Thus, we leave the rocket-powered liner and once. more enter our kelly green cab. Fresh in our memories again are the high school days now so long past, and in our hearts is the hope that the years between then and 1968 have proved fruitful and happy for all members of the Class of 1948.
