“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

In Chicago we come upon that genial gentleman, TOMMY BUCKLEY who owns The Buckley Airlines. Yes, we always knew that Tommy would go far in life. And shuffling off to St. Louis, we meet FORBES HOOPER, that old shyster. Forbes, as usual, is up to his old tricks. When he couldn't sell anyone on his idea of “Find-lt-Yourself Uranium Kits”, he has set up an office and doing his bit selling space on the moon. “Oh, give me land, lots of land”, and with this familiar tune, we recognize the former CHARLOTTE NEVILLE. Charlotte and G. own a prosperous mink farm out West; they're doing so well that they give mink coats as gifts. Down South we see an old mansion. “Edith and Donna's Tea Room”. Yes, our own DONNA GUINES and EDITH WATKINS manage this lovely restaurant whose specialty is turtle soup. We'd like to stay, girls, but the waiting line is too long, and we’re on our way to West Virginia University where GARY KOURRE is coach of that great football team. Man, what a game! That’a alright. Gary; maybe you can win the next one. Back to Baltimore and John Hopkins University where we see DR. ROBERT TAYLOR, who has made quite a name for himself in the field of medicine. After discovering a cure for “Loafing Fever”. Dr. Bob is try- ing to find a way to give us a longer lease on life. And we had to go to Wilmington to see SHIRLEY GEIER, who now runs her own Ajax Company. Shirley has reaped a fortune with her Ajax treatment for gym floors. Shirley’s partners are PEGGY BLACK and KAY DORSEY, who have traveled all corners of the earth to peddle their product. And at the switchboard of this great firm is MARY ANN RAMPER. We don’t know- how she does it. but Mary Ann goes to town with her gum and calls. And in a vine-covered cottage in Pennsylvania we see JACKIE BIVENS, looking not a day older than she did in high school. Jackie kills time by making her pro- fessor-husband happy and having tea parlies. Not far away we find JOAN BREMER, who has achieved fame as a writer. Her latest best seller is “How To Influence Males”. And isn't that that dear little JEAN McMUL- LEN? Ah, yes; Jean supervises a kintergarten and is happily married to the man of her dreams. We found a recent issue of “The Broad Top Bulletin” in Jean’s living room, and my, what a wonderful paper. Of course, our own JIMMY HORTON edits it; Jimmy prints “All the news that’s fit to print.” Back into New Jersey where we meet GLENN HEATH, that man of men! Glenn made a fortune sel- ling refrigerators to the Eskimos, and now he basks un- der the New Jersey sun, and surrounding Glenn are gorgeous bathing beauties. And moving into New York, we head for Tammany Hall and make it just in time to hear that shrewd old politician. CHARLES SCOTT, ac- cept the chairmanship of the National Democratic Com- mittee! Hello! We’re back to the NOW, and we hope you have enjoyed this imaginary look into the FUTURE. We are your would-be prophets, Marian Black and Wanda Dickson, who hope that all your wishes may come true. Our class officers or “Board of Experts” as we like to think of them, for they have served us well. President Greenland is shown above with his executive board— Vice-president Rourkc, Secretary Jo Ann Park, and Treasurer Wanda Dickson. “Here’s to the day when it is May And care as light as a feather.”—Carman
