Let's move the clock ahead to the year l958. We are going on a rocket plane trip from Boston to Paris by way of Miami and Rio de Janeiro. First we'1l take Billy Burke's deluxe atomic powered taxi to the airport. Porter Stanwood Ford ambles over to carry our luggage but first stops to flirt with the hostesses, Jadine Raynes and Joan Brouseau. Now that the luggage is taken care of,let's have a quick snack at Doris McCrillis's restau- rant, noted for delicious fried clams. As we enter, we see Bob Driscoll repairing the refrig- erating system so that the food purchased from the barons, Loring Ibbitson and won't spoil. Bobby Alden, Now we are all prepared for the trip. We step into a rocket plane designed by Lockheed's Dorene Bosworth, and piloted by John Balonis and B111 Libby. Well, Pratt, fat lady of the circus, and look who's up front. It's Bethel Esther Major, the human skeleton. Right in back of them are those social whirlwlnds, Marie Brine, Shirley Holt, and Beverly Cox. On the other side are Leon Barry, whom many are comparing to Enrico Caruso, and Leon's accompanist, Joan Cunning- ham. And look who's right in front of us. It's Sidney Herman and his secretary, Shirley Ferris. Sid, as you probably know, is a great brain specialist and Is flying South for research, With him are Helen Ford, Betty Crosby, and Lvnthia Hatch,the well-known occupational thera- pists,and Lorraine Simmons, who has caused revolutionary advances in psychiatry. What's happening now? Oh, it's only Bob Abel broadcasting the speeches of the new Pres- ident of the United States, Joe Dahlll,and Vice- President, Bill Buckley. Well, here we are at Miami. ls coming out to repair one of the Frank Corbett rockets, but that's no concern of ours. We're off to see the town. Let's go over to the Red Sox in Sarasota and watch Bobby Jones, and Billy Kimball work out. This the Sox to win five consecutive If some of you want souvenirs we can have our pictures taken by Training camp Cam McClellan trio has led world series. of this trip, the traveling photographers, Bernice Swan and Barbara Barclay. Casey, the winner of the Olympic swimming cham- pionship over there? There are Mary Ann Curby, president of Sargent,and Mary Da Silva, who has succeeded Hedda Hopper as Hollywood gossip columnist. What's this being brought out of the luggage compartment? Why,it's a stowaway--Joel Cushman.I guess that his desire to see the world got the better of him. My, my, what is going on over in that dark corner? It seems that Ann Mahoney is taking a letter while sitting on bank president John Mlller's knee. For goodness sakes, here's Rio already. Why, that looks like Earle Wassmouth over there making a sketch of the airport. As we leave the airport and arrive at our hotel, we hear a big commotion over by the switchboard. We investigate to find it is only maintenance man Bob Marshall bothering those cute operators Idella Purpura and Edna Brown. Let's hurry so we'll be able to get a good table at Peggy Kilroy's famous night club,the El Roi Tan. I hear they have a good floor show, Here's Patti Schindler,the hostess, greeting us, always glad to welcome old friends. This should be an interesting show because the orchestra has celllst,Polly Close and pianist Pete Forrand. I see they are also featuring dancers,Barbara Sca- hill and Pat Condon. Isn't that hook reviewer Ardelle Perkins, over at the corner table? And here come Joe Kenneally and Rosemary Garrigan. These two have won oscars ln Hollywood so many tires that now they have a monopoly on them. Let's go back to the hotel. It's getting late and we have some letters to write. I won- der if there are any public stenographers around. Somebody mentioned Dorothy Horte and Dotty Loud, didn't they? Disaster has struck! Someone has rifled our personal belongings since we have been gone and stolen all our travelers' checks. We had better put detective Manley Robbins on the trail. He'll have the thief in no time. Meanwhile we will go to the bank and get some more money. I can hardly believe 1t.Roy Turner is pres- ident of the bank. Whatfs more, he has a bevy of beautiful girls, Janice Littlehale, Sally Harperg Dorothy Swift, and Phyllis Torrey to serve as bookkeepers and secretaries. Now that we have some money, let's take one of Russell Hatch's After that wefll go to the style show where Natalie Fontaine, Jean Appleford, Ardelle Nash, and Patricia Butterfield will model clothes de- signed b Eleanor Shea The com lete show is c Y ' - P under the direction of Agnes Kieran, the manager sight-seeing buses and tour the waterfront. Wow, that was a close call we just had, wasn't lt? I thought that Ed and Don Green were going to have one of their famous trucks com- pletely demolished when they almost crashed into of Macy's department store. Who are those two fellows we've been seeing all day on the docks? They must be Urban Bell- rose the sin ing beach comber and David Wenz, us. lt's getting late. We better head straight for the airport. That must be Evelyn Thomas, our stewardess, greeting us. I d1dn't know that she S o the millionaire commercial fisherman. I know you'd like to stay, but time for our plane to leave. Let's the hotel and collect our things. lt's nearly go back to was way down here. I wonder who our passengers are this time. There are Margaret Waterman with two stuffed animals from her prize collection, This time our pilot is none other than Kathleen Sullivan. I hope she doesn't fly a plane the same way she drives a car. I see that our hostesses are Ginny Whitman and Coralle Staples, and that looks like B111 McCabe at the radio. Some of our passengers look familiar too. Why, I believe that's Frances Carr, the exchange teacher, who has helped our diplomatic relations with foreign countrlea And isn't that Frances and Doreen Washburn on her way to Paris to try to organize a basketball team good enough to win the Olympics. Look, there're Charlie Tirrell, love story novellsq and that famous Parisian designer,Grace Gardiner. Isn't that Joan Davis over there, the girl who made a fortune from her invention of freckle-remover? I don't see anyone else we know, do you? Gee, these rocket planes are fast. We're
