A LOOK TOWARD TOMORROW V: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the 1960 reunion of the celebrated alumni of the W. H. S. Class of '54. As you probably already know, we have gatheredi together here on Waverly Hill in the ultra-modern restaurant designed by Dawn Abbott for the successful manager, -Tess'eO'Brien. Although it is dark across the valley, Jim Marshall and Fred Van Nest, famed lighting directors for MGM, have com- bined talents to illuminate the valley for us tonight. Glancing over the dining oom, I see the officers of our class who are seated with friends. There is Don Bidker, Secretary of Agriculture: Jerifyi Eine, Secre- tary of the Treasury: and Rosemary Uirnbn, Vice-President of the U. S. and Sec- retary of State. 'X lv f ' t ff ' More people are a riving all the time. Here comes an attractive young man about town, Ted Hg, It d, surrounded by a cluster of attractive young ladies. Every moment or so I hear inquiries about the outcome of the Indianapolis 500 where several of the class members, Bill Ayers, Bill Scott, Burton Kinney, Joe Hogan, ar-eparticipating. ,f I Vic 'Pr-inii, head coach at Florida University: ,wld Royce Hugo, head basket- ball coach at Princeton, are talking to Phyllis? rqfglftff top buyer at Lord and Taylor's: and Sharlin T.i'ne'J Physical Education instructor on the Cornell campus. I am sorry to note kthe absence ofASandraJAyers and Sue Ann Thornton who are presently on tour in Europe. Miss' yyfslds currently featured at the Palace in London where she has been lauded by the King and Queen for her recitations. Also in London at this time is Charles 1Rahdall, leader of the Westminister Boys' Choir. Miss Thornton is in Paris with the opera company doing It'Aida? U Seated in they far corner, I recognize a familiar group--B055jWeL Republi- can Senator: BiI1?fAIfLin'eQ nation ,l 109-yard dash champion: Tom ifstin, most eli- gible bachelor of the year: Toqii 'Fitzgerald, newxppwn 'ofthe Uncle Tom Peanut Company: John1fS'i'monds, chef at Macy's: and Di'cli'?uttoi'i,'national head of the F. B. I. They seem tp be singing their most cherished song: yes, it is, folks-- Dear John! Uohn Brown is now leaving through the Bus Boy's entrance., Everyone seems ready to eat and what a meal we have for them--prepared by the world famo'us chef,-Ban-Ba.rton.j,g r 1 ' Now that everyone is seatedw we will try to give you some idea of the cele- brities here tonight. I see Martha Decatur and Shirlely Gibbs talking over their current Broadway successes. We have just learned that both have been offered movie contracts. Listening .to the conversation is the most famous star since Marlon Brando--Ear'l Bokdineuu :He accepted his contract while bidding at a cattle auction. There is Sue JC'rame'r, society matron, noted for her fabulous parties havingatete-a-tete with the honorable Philip, Van Der Karr, distinguished Wall Street businessman. I ' ' 'l I 1' Doc Schaimel is seated to my left entertaining several, attractive alumni with his joke dytrricks. Among the group I see Eileen'Lb'fgan, lovely ,Pgwerf model: Marily.:1aMe'l1on,'captivating young Bowling Champion: Mary Ldul Shaw, Bio-chemist at Bellevue Hospital: and Joan Leary, cut starlet for Warner Broth- ers. H Dance music will Lbe furnished later in the evening by orchestra leadery Wasserstrom with TomiRoissfyand'Bob Arcesi at the piano.
