Claw Prophecy S.S. HORNET CAPTAIN'S LOG Date: June 4, 1963 Latitude: 410 N Genoa, Italy Longitude: 140 E Weather: Fair and clear Seas: Calm Winds: South-southeast Today we docked in Genoa, Italy, where we took on board the eminent MRS. MILDRED HASWELL and her husband, Max. Mrs. Haswell is now re- tired from her teaching duties at Saline High and is residing in sunny Italy, where she is successfully reviving the latin language. Mr. and Mrs. Haswell were the guests of honor at the Captain's Ball. They are to remain on board in a special suite decorated by the most sought-after interior decorator in the world, LOIS FINCH, who was also in charge of the decorations for the ball. Helping her was her able assistant and art advisor, EUNICE MESKE. The entirety of this Mediterranean cruise was sponsored and financed for the members of the Class of '53 by EDWARD CAMMET, sole owner and stockholder in the multi-million dollar Cammet Enterprises of Saline, which started out specializing in making holes for doughnuts. Edward sent his fleet of company helicopters to pick up the members of the class and transport them to the ship. The ball featured many members of the Class of '53 who are now promi- nent in the entertainment field. The music was furnished by HAFEMEISTER'S Sweet Serenaders. Featured in this band were BARB BEGOLE, swing pianist, and ELTON MOEHN, trombonist. Elton, after graduating, went to the Chinese Conservatory of Music CSing Singh, where he graduated with high honors. The vocalist was NANCY WOODS, successor to Pearl Baily. Larry's fan club mem bership has risen to the astounding figure of 4,000,000--the girls all say he's dreamy. The feature act of the floor show was DOROTHY MARION and JOHN ROBSON, a Hollywood dance team, who are currently cast in Mr. and Mrs. Taptoes. The producer of the show, LAYVERNE DRAKE, was also present on board. Layverne's current flame in Hollywood is Marilyn Monroe. He has the reputation of a second Valentino. Following these famous dancers RON FINKBEINER, comedian extraordinary, who has a greater following than any other comedian in the world, took the stage. He just looks at you and you have to laugh, especially whenfhe sings his famous theme song, I'm Bashful. The delicious banquet for the huge ball was prepared under the direction of Chef BOB TOWER. The meal was served under the watchful eyes of the head waitress of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, BETTY ALBER. After the dancing started, I looked around the ballroom to see who I could find from the Class of '53. Over in one corner in a heated discussion were JOHN BRAUN, mad scientist from the University of Bridgewater, now engaged in research on the Frankenstein monster, who just recently invented chlorophyll for skunks, and LARRY WIEDMAYER, successor to Einstein. Larry is the discoverer of the very important formula B + E2 + F : C + OW, and also chairman of the Hydrotelactomicradic Research Department of the University of Michigan. Seated very close, almost too close for comfort, to Larry and John were KENNETH BURMEISTER, GEORGE BURNS, and JOHN MARION. These three joined together just after graduation and bought up all the farms surrounding Saline in a seven mile radius and incorporated them into one. Seated with these cow tycoons was KELVEN BRAUN, the head of the Department of Agri- culture, and JIM GLEASON, Macon cattle baron, who has cornered the world's market of purple cows. 20

Wandering around, I spied a large crowd and the great attraction I found to be the punch bowl. On one side of it stood JIM COOK, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who has just declared the law of Supremum Feminae unconstitutional, DAVID BREDERNITZ, famous statesman, who recently talked the Russian Delegation out of three Russian satalites and the paper Pravda, and internationally famous PAUL HARBECKE, who has covered practically every country in the world on his bicycle tours. In a group right next to them stood JACKIE HOEFT and CARLENE HINDERER, now very prominent in the high social groups of Saline. They were talking to JEAN and DARLENE KLUMPP of Klumpp and Klumpp Hatcheries who invented a hen that lays six eggs per day, only gold on one side. That was enough for me, so I left then and there. My, but that punch was strong! The dance floor was very crowded and dancing were many notables from the Class of '53. There were JOHN McCOY, president of General Motors, specializing in the manufacture of Super Hot Rods, and MARJORIE TOWER, his head test driver. It was plain to see Marjorie couldn't leave her work the way she was wheeling John around. Dancing also, were RICHARD MILLER and his wife. Richard is acting as ship doctor on this cruise and last year discovered the complete cure for Quitcherbelliachen. Gliding around the floor was JIM JACOBS, jet ace and first man to shoot down a flying saucer, and his partner, FAY HILGE, who got married right after she graduated and is the Mother of the Year for 1963. SHIRLEY SANDERSON was seen danc- ing with her husband. They moved to the twin cities and lo and behold, they had twins. I hope they never move to the Thousand Islands! It seemed to me that all the class wasn't inside, but out on the deck I found the others. JOE GRAF was running around the deck getting in condition for the record for the 1 yard dash with a time of .0001 second. Over by the rail discussing management problems were BOB LEUTHEUSER, owner of the former Hilton chain of hotels, CALVIN ENGLEHART, general manager of all the Kroger stores in the United States, who commutes between his mansion overlooking the Saline River and his headquarters in Cincinnati, and MARIAN GUENTHER, vice president of the Kresge Company. Reclining on some deck chairs, taking in the soft evening breezes, were ELAINE ROGERS, famed beautician, who has invented a tonic for baby girls that guarantees them lifetime natural curls, ALICE GILBERT, who had just been chosen Mrs. America of 1963, MARILYN MURRAY, missionary to the Gigchagoomie tribe of Southern Africa, WILMA RI-IOADES, who now owns and operates the Macon Express Limited, running twice daily between Saline and Macon, and HELEN GRAF, public relations director for Larry Hafemeister's renowned band. A little eavesdropping found the topic of discussion to be the good CPD old days in dear old S. H. S. .Standing by the rail, looking somewhat pale, was RHEA MENZEL, first woman Governor of the State of Michigan. She was talking over plans for installing a system of super eight-laned highways throughout the state with her Road Commissioner, HAROLD HANSON. Our chief mechanic NELSON JANTZ, reports everything is in good order for embarkation tomorrow morning. We shall weigh anchor at 0800. Signed DOUGLAS ELFRING Captain, S. S.
