CLASS PROPHECY The other day we went to the Nautical Museum and looked through the records of ship's logs. The one that caught our attention was that of the U.S.S. Useless, owned by Ellis Hardy and Tom Sorenson, famous yachtsmen, made rich by selling priceless art objects. The ship’s log read as follows: In April of 1965 we left New York Harbor. As the ship sailed out to sea we noticed the Statue of Liberty being guarded by John DiSarro. Our first stop was Cuba on the tenth of April. There we unloaded a cargo of precision needle holes made by Roger Larson. That evening we rode over to the Cafe D'Amico, wher w saw Joe D’Amico and his Cuban Combo with Ray Dokas holding the vocal spotlight. Our beverages were served by head waiter Robert Kasiski. We understood they were mixed by world famous bartenders, Moe Dubuc and Bill Carson. The climax of the evening came when we were entertained by the famous songstress Rose Scalora. The group left the Club D'Amico early, as a shipment of Donald Hrenko’s Pre Made Grinders” had to be loaded next morning. The Cuban port was left on the ninteenth of April and the ship set sail for Brazil. Here we were approached by Diane Talbot and Claire Rogers owners of a famous nut plantation. We took on a load of tires from Ford Company owned by Lucky” Perry Smart and his devil drivers, Ray Gronkowski and Paul Culver. We left Brazil and headed northeast across the broad expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. East Hampton in England was made in ten days. Here we saw Carol Lee King moving in on the Ford Motor Company. As we ambled along Downing Street we saw a mob of autograph hounds surrounding Patty Dyer and Bill Bomba who were on locatiot) for their next movie, Bomba, Lord of the Jungle.” As we boarded ship we saw Barbara Knopf and Bea Hines preparing for their next swim across the channel. It was understood they were coached by Beverly Riedel and Noreen Hammond. We hopped a plane in London on April Thirtieth for a weekend excursion. Here we saw Eleanore Surko and Joan Norman, famous French hat stylists. A little later we saw The Nancy Dyer School of Dance” managed by Nancy Conger and Irene Wojciulewicz. Later that evening we heard a panel on How to Handle the Modern Male given by Bajbara Winters, Patty Simcik and Joan Simons. We then flew back to England as a cargo of noodles for Noodle Tycoon” George Recck had to be loaded. On May fourth the ship left Merrie England” and headed for Sweden. Ken Munson was practicing for the Olympic Jumping Meet. There we also met Cathy Stabert, girl Private Eye, who was touring the country with Myrtle Burrier. May sixth we approached Siberia where the crew helped Walt Munson, Norman Manthey and Jack Reeves smuggle prisoners out of the country. Naples was the next stop, there Margaret Schelin and Judy Wessels were on tour with Spike Jones. At the Colosseum, we saw Frank Mute and Bill Skene working industriously on their new 5,000 horse power sports car. That evening was spent at Monte Carlo, the famous gambling resort. Lee Devoid was the new owner, having won the Casino in an honest gambling game. On May fifteenth the ship headed for Africa. There we traveled by canoes into the jungle and visited with Ed Smith, The Sultan of Wolfa”, with his three hundred wives. Later that day Betty Haman and Lil Hoffman tried to sell us Persian Rugs. Next morning we returned to find Rudy Abel and Ted Wrobel swabbing the ship's deck. May twentieth-Turkey and its Turks-we saw Walter Surko, Burt Aldrich and an ostrich engaged in a new contest seeing who can keep their heads under the sand the longest; We bet on the ostrich. May twenty-second-Siam. We bumped into Barb Sirotnak and Marge Anderson who were selling trained Siamese cats. Later that evening Jack Kumnick, counter spy approached us. It seems that he was on the trail of Joe Schnitzke and Dean Petow. May twenty-eighth somewhere off the coast of North America we were informed that Joyce Gooby and Pete Cleveland had taken over Berlin, Connecticut in order to save a southern rebel who is believed hiding there.
