Q Q Qx'A' A'A'A',x'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A 'A'1Q By Mz1rz'el Hagstrom and Paul Baker Being duly appointed by the class, we, the prophets, after much deliberation, research, and imagination, designed and built a time machine, which has enabled us to foresee the future of each member of the Senior Class of 1941. Our first vision takes the form of a large air- port, the John O'Donnell Airways, Inc. At Gate No. 1, a huge air liner prepares for flight 6. Pilots Edward Foster and Burton Drake are seated at the controls awaiting passengers. Hostess Vic- toria Sylvestri, wearing 9-inch heels to meet height requirements, greets Eldon Lonergan, a wealthy yachtsman, who frequently takes a jaunt around the world. Just before the take-off, Charles Tufankjian, now a salesman for a chew- ing gum concern, hurries aboard. Traffic control manager, Robert Jenness, gives the go ahead signal and the plane takes off with a roar. Our attention is suddenly drawn to a strange creation being pushed from one of the hangars by me- chanics Amos Brine and George Hoffman and supposedly by Charles Lemieux, but he is riding on the tail fast asleep. Aeronautical Engineer, William Moffatt, who is the plane's designer, in- tends it to reach a speed of 560 m. p. h. and a landing speed of 45 m. p. h. Reporter Gladys Tamkun and photographer Hope Ridley, both of the Daily Advertiser, arrive to inspect this meteor-like plane, but they return to their news- paper office empty-handed, for the converted model T engine on the plane refuses to operate, thereby cancelling the flight. At the newspaper office, our man about town Charles MacDonald is engaged in a loud verbal controversy with Norman LeGallee, for LeGallee has made a pointed remark about MacDonald in his Daily Gos- sip column. At one side, Claire Mann, seemingly little disturbed by the confusion, gleefully con- tinues writing the obituaries. Thomas Crowley, Editor-in-chief, sends Dorothy Chetwynd to in- vestigate the disturbance at the beauty shop owned by Lorraine Plasse, Sylvia Barry, and Gladys Daigle. These girls call themselves the three B's, for one has blonde hair, one black, and the other, brown. They wanted Constance Huddleston, with her flaming red hair as another part owner, but Connie was set on being a dietitian. All the excitement was started while Eleanor Reed was being beautified for an ap- proaching exhibition of ball room dancing. The water pipes have burst, spraying water all over the shop. This difficulty is soon checked by the timely arrival of plump plumber, Thomas Bur- bine. In his thrashing about, Tom accidentally put his foot into an electrical hair dryerg but Verne Mattson and Wallace Sayce happen along to aid in extricating him. These two lads are on shore leave from their ship, the S. S. Washington, commanded by William Brennan. Tom's foot is not badly burned, but he welcomes the attention of nurse Althea Bates. The dryer, however, was badly damaged and Electrical Engineer, Warren MacLaughlin, makes repairs. Across the street, is a rival shop owned by Barbara Thomas, Dorothy Staples, and Alma Pina. These girls are kept busy by the visits of a strictly private customer- none other than Leo Sangiolo. Leo is in the U. S. Navy, but on his days ashore, he frequents the beauty parlor. He has a marcel and all, trying to keep pace with the natural wavy hair of ship- mate, George Ferris. We now follow reporter Chetwynd back to the newspaper office, just in time to hear the news story of the day. The annual spring floods have inundated the river valleys and made hundreds of people homeless, including cattle raiser, Samuel Miller and poultryman, Thomas Kelliher. It seems that these two were so surprised by the flood crest that they had to ride the waters on the back of Miller's prize bull, Dandylion. After a long tiresome ride of many miles, Miller and Kelliher were rescued by Coast Guardsmen Stanley Randall and Donald Dunbar, while Dwight Porter easily took care of Dandylion. Although the two ad- venturers suffered no ill effects, they are resting comfortably under the care of nurses Margaret Conners and Jeannette Eno. The announcement of scientists George Kelley and Vincent Bubieniec about their new methods of flood control is natur- ally of great interest to victims of the flood dis- aster. In connection with a new dam designed by Paul Baker, they hope to generate enough elec- tricity with part of the water's flow to decompose the flood waters by electrolysis. Kelley points out
