CLASS PROPHECY I And it shall come to pass that in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-five that the Editor of the New York Times who is called Thurlan, from the house of Wendell, shall in one day call for his secretary Lundwall and shall ask of her certain informa- tion regarding royalty who are to visit the city, as his job demands that he know. He will then call for his reporter Adkins, telling her to make certain interviews. Upon stepping into an elevator which will take her down to the ground from the height at which they work, Adkins will speak familiarly to the elevator girl whom she calls Alberta. At the door a taxi will quickly roll up to the curb to assist her on the journey. Adkins shall step back in surprise and shall say, Well, Jack Huddleston, you living here in New York? A conversation of their familiar school days shall then come to pass, through which it will be found that the fair sister of Huddleston by the name of Maxine will be posing as a Spanish dancer who is followed around by sister Flory, who continually tries to expose her identity. Also, that Lettie Forbes has married Jonathan, from the house of Kess, and is living on a cattle ranch in the state of Iowa. He shall also repeat the statement made by the great inventor, Richard Hornung, when he declared High Schools a detriment to the country. After being deposited by the side of the great ship which has just arrived from crossing the great ocean, Adkins shall be escorted 'on board the ship by Boyer, the Captain, and shall then meet Madame Van Winkle who will become very confidential by telling her that Dean Whalen has been working as a mechanic in a garage in the city of Cheney, Nebraska, and has become Very rich. She shall also tell her that the daughter of Fleet by the name of Doris, and Betty Ann, daughter of Ecclesfield, are directors of a large Puppet show on Broadway. Madame Van Winkle shall advise Adkins to interview the great South American explorers, Jacobs and Wolfe, who are then on board. After all this, Adkins shall rush back to the oflice of the newspaper, but on the way shall witness the accident where the great opera star, Maurine Brobst, breaks her leg. And it shall come to pass that upon returning to the office, Adkins shall be set at work writing up material shex has gathered and the Editor shall ask Lundwall whether Christensen, the artist, has sent in his cartoons yet and also whether Marion, from the house of Marrow, and Leonard, the son of Walter, who will be all-star foot- ball players, have been written up. Many other items for the paper which is soon to come out, will then be received of which there is the announcement that Mistress Schmucker will be the new Mayor of New York by a large majority of votes, and also that the most dangerous Com- munistic agitator, John, from the house of Kuhl, was up for trial and his brother, Joe, the great judge, declined having anything to do with the trial and conviction of his brother. There shall also be an article on the divorce of Barbara Morey Boyer, who will soon marry Dictator Richardson of Spain. Lady Doris Picking shall at this time come hurriedly into the office and demand why she did not receive front page notice in the last issue of the paper, of her solo dance at the Ziegfeld Follies. After she has been soothed, Winifred, the wonderful daughter of McMurray, shall then come in, asking for a donation for the support of the home for the curing of crippled children, called the Orthopedic hospital, which she heads. She informs the editor that Mabel Nelson is a collector of books by famous contemporary authors, and Olivia, from the house of Wakeham, is the head Librarian for the Lincoln City Library. At the time that the newspaper office is about to close it shall so happen that a reporter, spent with hurrying, shall come into the office and tell of a large banquet given that evening by Madame Beatrice Gibbons, the most famous dress designer of the day for Maxine, the fair daughter of Hansen, who is the biggest social queen of t at time. Thus shall it happen in one day, at the newspaper office of the New York Times, in the city of New York, twenty years hence.
