(Pitted. 'PtofiAecy While on my way home from graduation, I came upon a railroad station which seemed to have appeared from nowhere. I heard someone announcing that the Train of Tomorrow was ready to leave. The strange name aroused my curiosity to such an extent that I purchased a ticket and boarded the train. I had no sooner sat down than I found myself in an elaborate ballroom which I immediately learned was owned by DEANNA SHEETS and BETTY JO STULLEY. Deanna and Betty Jo were glad to see me, and proceeded to inform me of what was going on. The present occasion was the annual banquet for the outstanding citizens of the year, with ROLAND TERRELL, who had become a famous radio commentator, as master of ceremonies for the evening.
