rom Out ol the lue BY Betsey Kelsey - Shirley Ellis Looking out of the tower window, the clouds of a decade pass before our very eyes exposing a bustling metropolis spread out over a vast area. Glancing down into the commercial zone we discover SYLVIA REED busily taking dictation in a lavishly decorated office of a well-known women ' s magazine. Moving to an- other section we find BARBARA LeBLANC sketching the latest fashions for the Ladies Home Journal ; seated beside her is BEVERLY BAIN typing out a scientific article on Dr. RONALD CHILD ' S new Theory of Evolution. In a smaller building we locate GERRY DRAY, chief librarian in the city library. Peering through one of the windows we see the spacious campus of the Chick Polytechnical Academy where Dean LUIGI CICOLANI is standing in the doorway conversing with his most competent English teacher, SHIRLEY ELLIS. Outside this great institute of learning two good-looking women are strolling by with their carriages. We knew them as MARG PRITCHARD and JOANNE GORDON, now Mrs. Garrison and Mrs. MacHarrie. Following along behmd them are CLIFF M. cWHA, HOWIE THURSTON, and CHARLIE ELY, door-to-door salesmen for the J. J. McCANN CO., dealers in household appliances. A few blocks beyond a loud crash is heard. Arriving on the scene we view police sargeant ARNOLD HOLTMAN assisting two young models, CAROL SANDBERG and NANCY DIMAN, from an overturned car. Crack reporter FRANK LEONARD of the Daily Sun appears immediately to take account of the accident. Being in the vicinity of the theatre district, we are dazzled by the blinking lights of the marquee of the Winter Garden brightly displaying the name of that famous actress, JOAN P. TOLENTINO. Going over to the arena, we notice on the billboard Coming Attractions in Shorts — NEAL HARRINGTON and DON AUBREY of the Celtics. On a banner is pictured the Sweetheart of ' 62, DIANE DeVITT, who has been acclaimed by the critics as the second Donna Atwood of the Ice Capades. Traveling west we come to the Santa Anita race track where we see owner HELENE GIBBONS placing a garland of roses around the neck of her horse, Governor Paukett, while jockey DAVID ELLIS poses for photographer BILL HAMMOND. The people now swarm out of the gates into their cars and ride out to Joe ' s Pizza Palace where our old pal JOE McGILLY directs his guests into the main parlor for the floor show featuring his famous Conga Line. Farther out in the country is the tree nursery owned by PAULINE and BOB SMITH. Around the bend we spy a large truck driven by RUSSELL COOMBS delivering grain to the chicken farm of DON DIXON and DICK HOLBROOK. Next door, real estate agent NORMAN LONG is conducting DORIE BURT and her husband about a newly-built home. Across the street we see the HANLON household where inside the family is watching their favorite TV show starring MARY as vocalist. As the channel is changed, we recognize that popular news commentator, PETE HURLEY. Headlining the day ' s events is an interesting article where- by Senator RICHARD BUCK opposes President JACK GARLAND ' S Big Deal. Flash BETTY SMITH and Hans Wamick have invented the fastest thing on wheels, a jet pro- pelled racer. Flash BILLY THURSTON has won the interstate Marathon for t he third consecutive year. Flash ARLYN CLORE and hubby, a Texas oil magnate, are taking a cruise to Bermuda for their second honeymoon. Flash ANNE BERNSEN is awarded the Medical Citation for Bravery after solely rescuing all students trapped in the flaming inferno once known as Westwood High School. Next on the agenda is that hilarious program, Your Show of Shows, featuring JOAN MOULTON and Sid Caesar who are tonight introducing their new local discovery, MARJORIE O ' LEARY. Leaving our friends of TV fame, we find ourselves once again on the road and before long are approaching the expansive motel owned and operated by BETSEY KELSEY. A few miles down the highway weary travelers are welcomed by the pert little hostess AIMEE DIXON of the celebrated French Plaza. Returning to the city we see FRED HOLLAND, portfolio in hand, entering the world famous art museum to hear the spectators judgment of his recently finished portrait of HELEN REAGAN, the Flaming-Haired Beauty. Near- by is the supreme court where cub reporter BARBARA KELLY is on trial for negligence in photographing the annual Teacher-Student game at Westwood High School. Pleading her case is that prominent lawyer, DONALD LOWRY. Needless to say, the defendant went free with the promise of covering next year ' s exhibition. Adja- cent to the court stands Pat ' s Department Store which is owned by PATTY LAUBLE who has employed PAT NELSON as buyer of women ' s apparel and JOY HARRIS as the efficient store detective. Going out to the airport we stop to watch JANET PETERSON, stewardess, check the passengers into a Transatlantic Flyer. Heading the list is actress CAROL HICKEY and those two comediennes, CLAIRE STICKNEY and MARY LALLY who are USO entertainers. Landing at the field in Algiers, the travelers are met by USO worker JOAN LYNCH who has hot coffee and doughnuts ready. Last to descend from the plane is army nurse JANE McINNIS escorting PILOT DUANE KOCINA and CO-PILOT LOUISE DONOVAN, captains of many a successful flight. In reality, we, the Class of ' 52, are yet undecided as to what will unfold in that future year, 1962.
