The NUGGET PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '39 Well, you can imagine my surprise when my husband came into the house one morning and said we were soon to be on our way to the 1940 World's Fair. Oh, that was a wonderful day to me. Our belongings were soon collected and packed into our trailer and we climbed into our '56 roadster. On our way at last!

I thought my time was over but my heart continued to beat. We continued down the midway until we came to an interesting-looking show. We entered the show and believe it or not there sat Frances Berry. the one and only snake charmer. Before we left Frances had that pretty little snake wrapped about her Hnger! I Next to the snake charmer was none other than that man of beauty and strength, A. M.
