From the mist of a crowd of very beautiful models Marshall Jones boards with his tarn jauntily pulled over one ear, and a plaid sport coat and knickers.One can readily see that Mr.Jones is definitely a success- ful tatoo artist. Carrying her portable typewriter and brief case, Car«l Gambrel enters the stratoliner and furiously be- gins to peck in her own inimitable style---the Gambrel two-finger method—My Day. After dashing off sixteen pages--typewritten size—she pulls out her knitting, and drops stitohes for the remainder of the trip. Margeno Holdorf of the LaZonga Studios has just oompleted a most successful tour with her groat danc- ing troupe, the Koldorf Hepcats. This utterly enchant- ing group has held audiences from Pecatonica to New Milford spellbound for hours. The troupe's motto is AS long as your arches are going to fall anyway, why not let them fall with us? Arlene Camling, who has just oome out of her own laboratory after two years' of extensive researoh, has announced that she has found a way of producing a crab apple with definitely more crabs than any former speo- ies. Of course she goes on to explain her discovery no doubt will cause a great deal of disturbance with No.4 coupon in War Ration Book No.2 and probably cause con- siderable trouble with the grooer, but isn't it worth it to have more crabs in your crab apples? Bob Kennedy, now president and general manager of the Gremlin Baby Clothes,Inc.has recently received the Nobel Prize on his most interesting disoussion on 'Why and 'When Gremlins? The scientific and authoritative work by Mr. Kennedy is only an example of his diverse interests. Baby clothes are not the sole oocupationof Mr. Kennedy, for only last week he folded five and one half bandages for the Rod Cross. Next to onter and settle down is Alice Braddy renowned tiome Economist of Rook River Valley. Pulling out her satchel she takes a cook book and reads 11342

CLASS PROPHECY Sixteen people waited impatiently at the modern airport on the roof of the Blaokhawk-Astoria to board the stratoliner fcr the non-stop flight between Byron and Stillman Valley. They are a gay crowd, and why shouldn't they be? Isn't it 1955, and time for the reunion of the Class of 43 ? At last the great plane zoomed over the field and landed; the orowd surged toward it in happy anticipation of the trip. Lt. Marian Jones, as smart as ever in her neok- lace of Jap teeth which she collected while in the army on Guadalcanal, boarded first. Lt. Jones obtained world-wide recognition during the war for her experi- ments—dating baok to Chemistry I—on athlete's foot in the tropics. She was followed by Miss Marie Wright—the Miss Marie Wright of Sohool Distriot 905 2 3 of Igglewish Township. For the past 11 years Marie has been teach- ing the younger generation how to get blue notes from a baritone horn. Quoting Miss Wright we can say, I just love little kiddies, rahlly I do.' The next couple to enter the plane were theMiss- es Rachel Becker and Mildred Bontjes. The world will forever be indebted to these young women--now assist- ants in physioal education at Leaf River University for their vital researoh and lecture tours on finger calisthenios and eye lash exercising. Dr. Donald Ashelford, the very famous babydootor who has just finished his interesting book on The Care and Feeding f Infants --or How to get morePork Chop per Pig enters next. He pauses en the threshold looks around and emits a lusty WHOOEEias a fond fare- well to his little friends who wish him a happy land- ing in tearful, heart rendering little oinks. Miss Dorothy Welsh—now Miss Sauerkraut Day ef 1945 is going on to newer and greater successes after the Reunion. We all wish her good luck in the Trask Bridge Competition.

pages which cover from the middle of French Pasteries over to How to grease a pan correctly. Then Miss Braddy gathers up her old shorthand I notebook and at once begtoe to concoot a reoeipe for turning up side- down cake right side up. The next person to enter and nonchalantly stumble over the first step is Ralph Pete Gibbs. Duff as he is known, holds a highly responsible position in radio which up to this point the height of his career has been the insuring of darkness during the LIGHTS OUT program. May Medearis, a representative for the Mexican Jumping Bean Company's branch office jumps on .board next and turns around and smiles. Her parting words-- quote jumping beans, an ever rising industry unquote we thank you Miss Medearis for these words of wisdom. Ken Bontjes, better known as Ken-L-Ration Bontjes from his reoent stage sucoess, The Hounds of the Bas- kerville»approaches with a group of fans at his heels. He finally climbs aboard after losing only two pookets and the shirt off of his back. ’.Vith but two seats left on the plane,one dim fig- ure approaches followed by another about a block be- hind, We immediately see that the first is Frances Lane, now owner and manager of the St. Louis hopscotoh team which is expected to take the pennant this year. She also is owner of a stable of sea horses. The otherisBonnie Allen, a navy nurse,stationed on a mosquito boat patrolling Razorville Pond. With all passengers aboard the final ory heard in- side the plane is Three cheers for the good old olass of '43', the very best of all.
