Tobias Edinger, Paul Blankenship, and Richard Noth all participate in pro- fessional athletics. along with Clara Taylor, Sara Story, Dorothy Locklear. Mary Hall and Rhoda Grey. Athletes may have their day. Marian, but I believe actors and poets are remembered forever. Esther Weber. Bettie Mattox and Howard O'Donnell are three of the greatest actors ever born, and John Miller and Marcella Ward wonderful poets. Here they come, talking their heads off. It's a good thing. too, that love making cannot be done while we sleep the next one hundred and thirty-seven years. for Evelyn Ludwig, Greta Hartley, and Thelma Downing could certainly do much damage: but then Lawrence Jackman and Forrest Palmer still cultivate that art, so it might be even among them. John, here come the housekeepers, Blanche Brown. Rosaline Kenz, Grace McNeil and Lillian Rundells. Imagine housekeepers, with no houses! Here are Anna Clark, Lovetta Christian. Justina Evans, Wilma Mansfield. Bonnadell Leadbetter, Caroline Schrader, Ruth Templin, Rhoda Cargo, Helen Waldon and Virginia Brofft. ten girls out of the 'Vanities of l94l'. They were very successful. Here is the head of the 'Mystic Fraternity', Jay Janes, and his friends. Oliver Huston. president of the World Bank, and Paul Grady. owner of the Consolidated Glass Works of Australia. And Marian, here is John Hixon, the noted artist. with Roderick Baird and Kenneth Conley, engineers. It's a wonder James Brooks didn't bring his glider with him, for he is always flying one: and Thomas Noble, instructor of mathematics, should try to teach us some geometry. I see Henrietta Boyd and Mary Falco, Senators from America, and Evelyn Bryant, the Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate. There are Dora Maughmer. Marianne Frad. Grace Gildow and Hazel Hill. members of the cabinet under the 'Exalted Four'. Too bad those fellows chose nearly all women for their cabinet. They do much better than men. These prohibition leaders, Dorothea Rood, Doris Simmons, Florence Wintersheimer and Dorothy Snyder should be good enough examples of eflicient workers. Think of Russell Drummond being the tiny man in the carnival! Charles Fisher and Paul Falco both ran amusement devices, owned by Noel Fluharty. Charles Schaffer lead the orchestra that attracted the crowds, and John Tull was an excellent ballyho man. It's too bad, John, that Wendell Gregg, Clifford Valentine and Paul Schrader cannot come with us, but the idea was not appealing. They are going to aid in the destruction of this planet. Paul Nolze is to supervise the appall- ing work. Would you think that such radicals as Kathryn Knapp, Odessa Stevens, Georgia Rinehart and Bernice Riggs would leave with us? Here they are, anyway. despite their preaching against the destruction. It's too bad Joseph Weisenberger and Garrett Winfield cannot resume pharmacy on Pluto. but Bessie Mae Patterson will still hold her old position of hair-dresser, provid- ing we all don't become bald. Marian, I believe everyone is present now. so close the ports and let's be off for Pluto, where Chillicothe will have another start in the universe. John Miller 4 page twenty-six

,JS 'X V , 'UP f 31 7X iff lxfs Class ProphecyH1931 John! John-come quickly! Look at this bulletin! Isn't it horrible? What shall we do? There's nothing much we can do, Marian. This edict was issued by the 'Exalted Four', so we must all leave before 1943. We have two years to build our ship, though, and I have all the plans made. for I've known this for weeks. But where shall we go? If this entire world is to be blasted just to determine its contents, where can we go? You've forgotten the prestige of the Phillips name in this system, Mar- ian: and anyway, I've decided on Pluto, for it has such wonderful caverns and such a wealth of material. I'm building my ship to contain one hundred and eighteen people other than ourselves, and I have already issued the in- vitationsf' Whom have you invited? You have no living relatives, and mine are all on Venus or Mars. Do you remember the gang we graduated with in Chillicothe, Ohio, ten years ago? I was president of that class, and you were the secretary-treasurer. Now we own this Universal News Corporation. together. I've invited all of our old classmates and they will be here the day we start on our journey. Two years passed swiftly by, and the day of departure finally dawned- John-someone is calling you on the television. Oh, it's Joe Clark, What does he want? He's asking if he may bring the instruments of his orchestra. He has a wonderful group of players, Bill Harris, Ray Johnson, Robert Duncan and Paul Conaway, with their wives Mary K. Duncan and Ruth L. Conaway, and Dorothy Reis. There come six women, John: Virginia Page, Jean Ewing. Dorothy Baird, Lucille McNeal, Elizabeth Diehl and Eleanor West, six of the greatest teachers of the Western Hemisphere Institution. Marian, here comes Professor Anna L. Medert, instructor on intellect at Stanford: and there are Helen Bock, Charlotte Deininger, Eleanor Stevenson, Madge McGee and Ruth Batteiger. nurses in the community hospital. This looks like a delegation of sunday school teachers. Here are Ruth Coppel, Freda Griesheimer, Velma Huff, Mary Grady and Margaret McLaugh- lin. They are representatives in the lower house of Congress under the 'Exalted Four'. Here come the 'Exalted Four' themselves, rulers over the entire planet: none other than Simon Jones, Claude Vester, Donald McCarty and Robert Wiseman. And see! The great scientist, Harold Lee, discoverer of razon and his followers Wilsqn Ludwig, Thomas Hughes, Harold Thatcher and Donald Wharton. Think of all the business women present: Juanita Jones, Maude Manker, Adine Maag, and Helen Tomastik, all ready for business. And an undertaker, too: Bill Grohe in person. with his associates in business, Belle Elkins, Annabel Dumm, and Katherine Martin. You've kept good track of them, John. We shouldn't lack entertain- ment. with Jessie Louise Franklin. Christine Stouder, Maria McCallum, Ells- paqe twenty-five
