THE SASSAMON 15 CLASS PROPHECY Time-Year 1955. Une cold, bleak morning as Professor Driz Dayton worked feverishly in his mountain laboratory, he summoned his trustworthy assistant, Professor J ohri Col- cord, and proposed the idea of reuniting the atom. Needing government assistance they chartered a plane under the capable pilot- age of Robert Proctor and flew immediately to Vilashington to seek permission of the government to undertake such a tremendous task. For landing instructions at VVashington airport they were greeted over the radio by Charlie Hall who is well-known for his famous radio technique. They are helped off the plane by their charming hostess, Barbara McNair, and escorted out of the airport in the private car of Richard Robinson. Much to their surprise, the scientists realize it is the same car which Richard possessed in high school. As the car laboriously waded through the streets of W'ashington, the screeching sound of a siren pierced their ears. Robinson, thinking he was pinched, pulled to the side of the road. lt was the XVashington Fire Department with Varzgie' Sticlea driving the chief's car. Tagging along behind in the world's most modern fire engine we see Roy Falzcy and perched beside him holding on for dear life is Richard Flynn. Let us leave the scientists for the moment and follow these speeding demons to their warm reception. They are greeted at the door by a much-excited Violctta Tutznzy, dean of The Semper Paratae school for secretaries, who has been vainly trying to extinguish the contiagration. XYith her are her most cherished pupils, Martha Driscoll, Mary Pizicfau, fcarz Maclltfaiu, and Tilly Mason. A shrill scream echoes through the burning halls. One of our more unobtrusive firemen, Larry Dcfvcrcazzx, with no regard for the safety of his own life, dashes into the blazing inferno. Minutes later, staggering through the smouldering ruins, he carries in his arms the unconscious figure of Ircnc Vcrgos. At this moment a press car rushes to the scene. It is Rita Dcflizgclis, the nation's number one acc reporter. XVith her we hnd the Bashing photographer, Donald Dalrymplc. Suddenly an ambulance swerves into the driveway and comes to a screeching stop. Out steps Doctor Harry Trask and his driver Bcuny Driscoll. Hclcrz Dalzl- grcn, Doctor Trask's most faithful nurse, follows the men to the now reviving figure. Hours later we find Jimmy O,Cd0lLllfll and Robcrt Slllll7.'Ul1 searching in the smouldering ruins to determine the cause of this disaster. They have been sent over by the District Attorney. Charlie' Barker. We now look back upon the scientists whom we left so abruptly in the turmoil of traffic. XVhat's this? The car won't start. Calling a mechanic to the scene, they recognize their long lost friend, Donald F. Hoc-v who has been noted for his ability to repair broken-down cars. - As it would take hours for the car to be repaired, the men decided to take in a
