✓ THE 1948 CLASS PROPHECY On May 15, 1958, Professor Slobleon Von Needham decided to try out his new brain-child, the new jet propelled, atom burning, pair of nyplastictone wings. It was a beautiful day, not a fluffy cloud in sight, and as Prof. Von Needham slipped into the traces of his new wings, pulled the straps taut and adjusted his new ’’Super-see-all-eye” and wondered what would happen if they failed.

Bounding alongside the sled dogs bundled in fur from head to foot was-----no, not Santa, but Wilmerth Bristow. It seems she is now carrying mail from Seattle to Nome---the long way and getting there 'way ahead of the boat--she always was a fast one! Wishing to see what had happened to ye olde class- mates the Prof, swung his eye to the Hawaiian Islands where much to his surprise he saw a familiar figure swaying 'neath the palms, hulaing with the best.
