“A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE” The time is 1956, the place anywhere, and the characters two old classmates. They arc approached by a strange character who promises to give them a glimpse into the future of their classmates. Accepting the offer, they mount his “satellite and start out on a thrilling journey, which is to take them into 1975. On our first stop we encounter our old editor. Hil l. CROFT, the renowned engineer, the first to in- vent a jet that could fly to all the planets of the uni- verse. Bill tells us that on a re-fueling stop on Pluto, his pilot. RONALD LAUGHL1N, fell in love with a Plutonian beauty and refused to return to earth. Not too tar away we see another engineer, none other than our class president. ELWOOD GREENLAND. Elwood has constructed the highest and longest roily coaster on record—one can get on at Maine and get off in Texas! While Elwood keeps busy with his business, his charm- ing wife, the former JOANN PARK, occupies herself by working with various charitable organizations. RODNEY McCLAIN— ah. yes. our famous accor- dionist. Rodney is presenting a concert at Carnegie Hall in honor of the governor of Texas, GEARAL SIPES, who won his election by giving away cows to his voters instead of campaign buttons. Featured in Rodney’s orchestra are CHARLES DIEHL, known as “Yuba the Tuba Player , and JOHNNY 7.DROSKY, better known as ‘John B;nny Badman : that handsome drummer, of course, is DONNIE BLACK, that spinner of tall yarns. “Shave and a haircut—two bits!—Bill’s Barber Bop. St) reads the neon sign above an establishment on one of the bu -y avenues in New York. BILL TERRI IO, the proprietor of this barber shop, has made a fortune vsith his hair restorative called “Bill’s Grow-It-Yourself Hair Kit. On the same avenue we sec LASHINSKYN Baked Beans Company owned by our own STEVE. Al- though Steve has changed in appearance, his reading habits haven’t changed, judging from all those comic books on his desk. And moving just a bit north we come to Columbia University where we sec l)R. MAR- IAN BLACK, professor of sociology. Marian hasn't practiced her own theory Love them and leave them , for she seems happily married to D. N. And from Mar- ian we learn that her dear friend. WANDA DICKSON, has “talked herself into a high ranking position in her state’s politics. Between her “politicking and making home cozy for J. D., Wanda is kept quite busy. Our host wisks to London where we behold our own HELEN MAE THEYS, a great opera singer. Helen has just presented a concert for the Queen of England. As we enter Helen’s home, we are awed by its elegant furnishings; we also recognize some of KAY LONG’S artistic masterpieces. Kay, as you know, has achieved acclaim in the field of art. Here too we see the gracious SUSAN BANCO, who is kept quite busy as Helen’s sec- retary. Back to the states and a little town in Maine we meet DR. BORTIE SMITH, a dentist. Bortie has quite a practice; he has his own ‘Teeth Bank”—he freezes his extractions and uses them to make his own plates. Dres- sed in a neat white uniform is ANN BROWN, Bortie’s efficient assistant. Ann still has that pleasant disposition. Moving on to the Bel Air Farms, we encounter JANET MEKETA who now owns the great racer. Nashua III. Looking on proudly is that young character, GUY DIEHL. Nashua’s own veterinarian who mixes his own horse brews. Stopping at an airport in Washing- ton for a breather, we meet JANET LOU GEORGE., stewardess on the P.A.A. Janet’s pleasant personality has made many an air-sick passenger forget his troubles. And in the reception room here we find our tall stately LEAH CORBIN, who is a receptionist. And moving right over to the treasury department, who else but BETTY BARNETT and DORRIS RICK A B AUGH, and they appear to be very busy. These girls are just loaded with money—Dorris prints it. and Betty stacks it. Our next '•top is Baltimore and PATRICIA EVER- HART, neat and pretty as ever. Patricia wasn’t the car- eer type, so she is happily married to Ronnie and is quite a homemaker. Not far from Pat lives the former SUE FOORE, our own Betty Crocker. Sue has won several “Mrs. Muffins” contests, but Sue wants none of this fame; she’s quite happy living in her cozy home while handsome hubby Gary brings home the “dough”. In Philadelphia we find ENGENIA HOt CK, who i girls’ counsellor at the Y. W. C. A. Eugenia keeps in shape while on the job. And moving into the business district of this great city, we see our petite JANE PAW IK, who manages a fashionable store for womens apparel. One of her models is none other than VERNA McMULLEN. Verna is all wrapped up in her modelling. What is well done is done soon enough —DuBartas
