In The Future we are determined to scout out the rest of our old associates from the class of 1950. As we wing our way across the country we pass over a vast plantation deep in the hills of old Ken- tucky. We swoop down for a closer lok and see a sign in neon lights, Jimmy Teal, Owner. We deal with fine horses. We always knew his name would be in lights. Going for- ward we come to a huge hotel bearing the name Aldene Marcus Hotels. Come .In rand, Sleep. We travel on and as the sun rises we 'come 'into New York. Looking down we notice an artist painting the s-un-rise. Why it is Joyce Plummer, still creating ,beautiful things. In the heart of the city we see the new Vogue Magazine headquarters. Dismounting and slipping quietly into the city we come upon Robert Welborn, now chief Photographer of this and many other Magazines. Posing prettily for him are two well-known models, Polly Pennington and Nell Robertson. Pass- ing on to the textile department we discover Annette Clements, the lead- ing fabric designer, experimenting with some materials. Working on a layout is Jane Punch, who is the Art Department head. Continuing on our way we come to the largest news paper in the world, The Aba Daba Times. Peeping in the busy office we see a familiar Light. Busily checking some copy is the City Editor, Jan Wilson. Sitting ncar by taking dictation is Betty Wills, competent secretary and nice attraction to the office. Amid all the bustle stands the calm figure of Margaret Walker, owner and pub- lisher of this giganic publication. As we leave we notice Peggy Maynard in the morgue freference libraryj busily filing some cuts. We go quietly out of the building because someone tells us they are putting the paper to bed. Departing from New York we start around the world to find the scattered portion of our friends. Stopping in London, England we see a sign that says Miller's Manor. Entering the establishment we find a cheerful at- mosphere, good food, and the owner, Billy Miller. After being thus re- freshed in an English tea room, we leave and promptly encounter Bobby Odgers, who is enjoying a leisurely trip around the world. Saying our goodbye to London we continue to Paris. There in one of the Paris Dress Shoppes we see the former Bette Ray and her children shopping for their spring wardrobes. As we leave the store we find that it is owned by Billy Hamilton. The designer of all the lovely creations we have seen is twe discoverl Mlle. Louise Quinn. Leaving gay Paris we next pass over the southern part of France to see the well-known resort on the south- ern coast owned by Elmer Pruitt. Glancing down at the bathers on the beach we notice Freddie Grasty and Katrene Strickland. Upon inquiry we find they are returning from a trip to India, where they have been in- specting their oil fields. Up, up, we climb into the air and soon we are flying over darkest Africa. Looking down we see Mary Frances Crawford and Doris Clark teaching the cannibals civilized ways of living. Next we reach the city of Hong Kong. There we see Robert Wil- liams teaching the Chinese how to play baseball. We find that we are low on hydrogen so we stop at the Hong Kong filling station. The owners, Ed Gilchrist and Maurice Weeks, quickly refuel our tank and check our atoms. Zooming across the Pacific we pass over a ship and looking down see Jean Wilson sitting in a deck chair study- ing some art work, for she is one of the world's best art critics. Coming into Los Angeles we are stopped by Tommy Holcombe, top Immigration Official, who checks our rocket permit. Stopping again for a few minutes in Wollyhood we see Ray Stubblefield working on his new picture. The di- rector of the picture is Ida Ramsay and the leading lady is Peggy Meggin- son. At the corner of Wollyhood and Pine we see an exclusive dress shop designating that only Harper's Wolly- hood fashions styled by Betty Harper are sold there. We pause at a newsstand and pick up the latest magazines. Thumbing thru them we notice that the best advertisements are those bearing the signature of Joanne Hartley. Look, there comes the Greta Garbo of 1970, Miss Bonnie Sue Albright. She has just flown in from Wollyhood. Well, what do you know, here comes Charles Brill driving up in a Cadillac convertible piled with beautiful mod- els. We have just had word that two of these models are none other than Ann Gilardoni and Jane Loring from Cullman. Of course, Ann is coming here to visit the coach of West End High School. In the distance we see a train com- ing and who is running that train? Why, it is the finest engineer in Bir- mingham-Neal Beckham . . . Here is the President of the Birmingham Poor House, Mr. Tommy Burke. He lost so much money trying to be the richest man in the world, that he de- cided to open a poor house. Have you met the new editor of the Woman's Home Companion? Well, it's none other than our Terrell Latham. The man running the newsstand has a portable radio which we had ignored until this'time, but now we hear: News from the sports world . . . FLASH! Jack Hayley, still a star of Auburn, feeds his children raw eggs, but Phyllis tHumphreyJ says that she has learned to like them, too, so now she eats them. Have you taken the Billy Skeeter Hale Course? Just think, Billy says, I used to be called 'Skeeter' but now I'm called 'Muscle Man. ' Roy Guyton's basketball team at the University of Kentucky is now on top . . Now more news of interest to the people cf the Magic City. Mary Evelyn Duke now has a combination Beauty Shoppe and Reducing Plan Shoppe located on Village Creek Con the West End side of the creek! . . . Juanita Harp is now a typing teacher at West End . . . Thomas Brock's profession is teaching Math but as a sideline he tests new cars . . . James Franklin is circulation manager of the Birming- ham News . . . Everyone knows that Robert Carroll and John Jenkins have their own studio for motion pictures. They specialize in Horror Pictures which Bobby Gray writes and Lewis Harper portrays . . . Palmer Latham has his own newspaper 'The Daily Blab' on which his chief reporter is Wilton Hogan and Society reporter is Ann Herbertson . . . Mary Dickinson has just published her latest book, 'How to Raise Your Children In Eleven Easy Lessons' Now we feel that we can return to our homes reassured for we know that each one of our class of '50 has es- tablished for himself a place in the world.
