Before bundling up our manuscript and handing it to the printer for him to decipher, we leave you with this thoughtfu-l thought: We were fully aware, that, without contrary insurance. atomic explosions may rudely annul our prophecies or any personal visions you may have of a peaceful, happy future. It was a horrible thought and we frantically dismissed it from our conscious minds, trusting in yours and the world's efforts and desire to annul atomic explosions! Besides, to prophesy where some KHS students will be and what they will be doing, if the world is blown to bits, could, to say the least, prove embarassing. Yours, Monsieur Scripto Bud N-ordstrom Ji-m Biery TW ENTY-EIGHT fK'f '
