CLASS PROPHESY The entire class is seated. The class prophet suddenly exclaims: Quiet, quiet everyone. I have a strange sensation going through my head. Why some one is trying to tell me something. The voice is telling me to relax and concentrate. Does anyone else hear anything? Beth Tinney- Do you feel all right? I don't hear anything. Do you hear anything Jimmy? James Me Ferran- No I don't hear a thing. Prophet- I must be losing my mind. Oh, the years are speeding by. 1947, 19 8, 1949, 1952, 1955, 1955, 1955. Something must be wrong. No more years are speeding by. I can see a big calendar of 1955 before me. January. I wonder what will happen during this month. Slowly, slowly, I can see a figure approaching. Who can it be? Why, it llli looks like George Grant. It can't be Shortly after high school George went to China to work for the X Standard °il Company. Things are getting clearer. In a minute I shall be able to tell you all about George. Ah Ha! It is very clear now. George has quit his Job as vice president of the Standard Oil Co. He and his Chinese bride have Just landed in New York. Now George is going to sell flashing men's clothing for the Toonerville Valley Corporation. George is fading from my sight. Maybe 1946 will come back.
