SENIOR CLASS PROPHESY TIME: 1950 I, Rose Rancich, since I have became a famous aviatrix, decided to make a non-stop flight around the world. On the Fourth of July, 1950, as I was getting ready to take off in my aeroplane Tlhe Fabens and while the vast crowd of New York- ers cheered me, a young man dashed out of the crowd yelling, Wait! wait! I want to go, too! I looked around to see who this young man could be and to my surprise it proved to be Mr. VVoodrow McKinney, an old class mate and president of the Senior class of 1930. He asked if I could drop him off in Scot- land to visit his ancestors. As I was on a non-stop flight I told iiim he would have to drop off in a parachute. He was perfectly willing for he was very anxious to learn as soon as possible their famous money saving theory. A few days later I saw him land safely in Scotland, near Edinburgh. I heard over the radio that all kinds of bad weather had been predicted for all over Europe and Asia. I did not want to pass through Africa and I have always had a whim to see Paris so I radiophoned Paris that I would be there about nightfall. Imagine my surprise when all the great people turned out to welcome me, but the greatest was the fact that from a crowd of Bella Donnas stepped Miss Gwen Breeding, who had become a famous Parisian dress designer. She was followed by her famous manequins. I was very anxious for my aeroplane to be overhauled so Miss Breeding told me of Mr. Carl Lambert, who had become very famous in that line of business. I was very glad to see my old class mate but was disappointed in meeting his brunette wife, the Dutchess of Marlborough, as he showed such a preference to blondes during his school days. I was cer- tain he would marry a blonde. A week later I was in my aeroplane and on my way to Mandalay, I was passing over the I-Iymalayas, I saw in the distance two or three volcanoes in eruption. I realized that there was no way to cross so I landed. I saw a little speck in the distance and decided to go over and see what it was. As I near- ed the group I found that it was a group sent out by the Nation- al Geographic Magazine to get pictures of China. I was over- joyed in finding Miss Margaret Neumann off from the crowd painting a picture of the eruption. After talking to her I found that she was chief artist for the National Geographic Magazine and was drawing a thousand a month. Margaret said she wanted me to meet a friend of hers, so she took me into the main tent and imagine my pleasure on see- ing Ramona Vasquez of 1930, who had become the wife of Mr. Marko Laniero, the editor and chief of this wonderful magazine. I stayed with them a few days and continued my journey and landed in New York on July 22, 1950. I am working for the Me'tro-Goldyn-Mayer Co. to perform stunts in their Vitaphone picture. PAGE FIFTEEN
