CLASS PROPHECY, Cont'cl McGuigan, Pat-1947-Upon approach you notice a iumbled mass confronting you. This could be a human being, you think. Then more mature deliberation convinces you that you are wrong. 1952-You're still wrong. McWilliams, Tom-1947-Alias Sweater Boy. It seems he wasn't born. A Red Cross worker knitted him in a dull moment. His blazing garments mark him a shining example. He tells of his life, People used to look at me and point. Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and got a coat that didn't match my pants. 1952-Astronomers discover new comet is only eclipse of Mc- Williams, noted Sweater Boy. Murphy, Dan-1947-Once called a masquerade in flesh. Sports a bright scarlet lip fuzz. Has legs, arms, feet, hands, possibly a head and rather doubtfully a body, all in a fumbled and hideously confused order. Occupation: Are you kiddin'? 1952 -A law being passed against it. O'Neil, Fred-1947-A perfect picture in a uniform. Enlisted, of course. Comment-went mad when they didn't give him a uni- form. 1952-Said to be flying low over Japan bombing every- thing in sight. Pieroni, Jim-1947-Unconfirmed rumors state that he has height. Face has not been solved. 1952-Scars on face said to be fork marks. This would-be person is dangerous and must be watched, if microscopes are available. Pottratz, Willy-1947-Alias Palpitatin' Pushover, Canvas- back,'t and The Horizontal Kid. Champion boxer but for one thing-he had to fight men. His forehead once voted most likely to recede. 1952-Still being carried both to and from his fights. Presley, John-1947-A description would only antagonize the reader and lead to complications. For the sake of simplicity, we will use in a loose sense the term human being, although there are no reports to confirm this. A man and woman of the same name refuse responsibility. 1952-Noted doctors bring up new arguments on evolution. Roberts, .lack-1947-A description was once written in plain Eng- lish but respectable people began to read it and it was con- demned. Occupation, Always being otherwise occupied. 1952 -Got tricked into honest labor. Scarpelli, Joe: Scarpelli, John-1947-Trouble arising. Both found- ed company of fruit and vegetable producers titled J. Scarpelli, Inc. 1952-Spokane Valley shaded by flying carrots and to- matoes. Scarpelli, Nick-1947-Of Scarpelli 84 Co., Butchers. lNote-his thumbs weigh 15 lbs.i Has a face, it is believed. lf so, resem- bling wet liver. Comment-don't let him sell it to you. 1952- The killing urge overcame him and he is now serving time for hacking the thumbs off customers who reached too eagerly for their packages. Shinn, Frank-1947-Ugly nature. Could double for Mr. Hyde. Occupation: Selling candy to school children. Married. 1952 -His wife very nervous, counts her children after every meal. Smith, John-1947-Alias The Wit. A certain height. Has hair of a color unnamed by scientists. Right and left eyes match hair, middle eye crossed. Work unknown lto himi. 1952- Still engaged in same occupation. Comment-as a result of a queer habit of standing motionless on Riverside avenue and Howard street, with a broken pipe upside down and empty in his mouth, he has been unveiled three times as a statue of The Observer. Sutich, Bob-1947-Alias Bob Sutich. Real name unknown. For convenience's sake authorities therefore call him Bob Sutich. Wears cheek fungus he calls sideburns. Rules his gang with an iron hand and head to match. Comment-the boys are sullen. They don't like it. 1952-Extraneous matter found in Mrs. Mulligan's stew, also an iron hand. Comment-the boys seem unusually well pleased. Swenson, Ferd-1947-Prominent characteristic-a cascade of foli- age loosely called a mustache. There is believed to be a man behind it, possibly underneath. Occupation, Janitor at Blef- gen Bros. 1952-Mustache removed. There was a man behind it. lExtra note-Blefgen Bros. having sale on genuine camel's hair slop coats.i Viro, Frank-1947-Has no height, iust a diameter. He wasn't born, he was blown up.

The We-Sing-From-Hunger Quartet-1947-LThe first part of their title is a lie, the second part is deserved.i Members- Bud Olney, tenor, Jerry Buckley, in-between anything, Ed Jones, undecided, and Bill Weiser, whatever's left. Occupation: Not singing. 1952-When last seen were in a rowboat headed for Borneo. Yes, sir, a fine group of fellows. Hmm-3:15. What! 3,15! Hey, you fatheads! Where's my secretaries? What do ya' think you're gettin' paid for? Collins! Did you arrange an appoint- ment with Mayor' O'Shea? And tell that clerk Ogilvie l want my lunch, Doyle! Get the afternoon papers from that boy Kivett! Kelly! ls there any mail? Only one letter? Open it! Hmm-what's this? Oriard-thatts me, oh, it's from Ward, of Houdak, DuMont, Vogrig 81 Ward, Brokers-a bunch of crooks, want me to invest in Parker's Sheep Ranch. They're looking' for shear profit but they won't pull that 50722 cotton over my eyes. Tell Parker I'm sending up Campbell and Orth to examine the stock next week. ls that all the mail? Well, where are the papers? WHERE ARE THE PAPERS? lt's about time. What's this?-'Williams Case Reopened . . . F.B.l Agent Wm. Kclpfer brings up new evidence . . . On July 7, 1952, Jack Wil- liams, alias The Lank was cleared of the charge of stealing a set of tires from ex-millionaire Walter H. Quade, on testimony of character witnesses Mr. W. Prosser and Mr. J. Julian. In new case, Mr. George Nesbitt testifies that on July 15, he discovered the slashed and brutally beaten body of an old tube which, it is now confirmed, Williams presented to the Tire-rationing Board in order to obtlain a new one. Embittered, he skulked to the estate of Quade, O.P.M. authority, where he was seen by Gil- lespie, the gardener. Carl Maxey, the chauffeur, states he heard noises in the garage but was engrossed in a game of Harlem Billiards and failed to remember it. Tire-rationing Board, headed by Mr. D. Maginnis and J. Spilker, demands death penalty. Judge Milla has not yet pronounced sentence. Ace criminal law- yers, Devlin and Capello still making supreme effort to clear Williams, while Prosecuting Attorney Maroniclc fights back. The foreman of the iury was the Hon. D. McAlpin, Esq. Thieves Captured . . . The three unknown bandits who robbed the First National Bank last June were caught near Horseface Junction, Idaho, today, ten miles north of Skunkwater. They were turned over to Spokane authorities by Sheriff Mundy. Super-sleuth Courtman is credited for their capture and tells the story, Wal, when them fellers stole that 330,000 last June, l questioned the teller, Cummins. The money was marked and we began tracin' it. Captain Cunningham passed out a list of the serial numbers and told all store-keepers to be on the alert. Soon afterwards Sweeney's Super Store 81 Sweet Shop reported that three fellers came in and bought ten lbs. sugar each. The reason he was suspicious was that it came to 530,000 even. But when they wanted a rubber band to tie it with, he knew that somethin' was up and phoned the police. Mr. Jacobs was in the store at the time and also gave a good description of the men, who were identified as the three missing links in The Chain Gang, no- torious for their love of sweets. The members are Clemmens, How- ard and Vukich. lieutenant Gilleland was really the one respon- sible for their capture. It was his idea that did it. Two of our men, Cummings and Sheridan, trailed them to their hideout near Horseface Junction. Then Officer Doherty, posing as a civilian, walked nonchalantly by and dropped a cube of sugar. While the pugs were fighting over it, Gilleland and me steps up and puts the cuffs on 'em. They're sure to get life. Ah, my lunch at last. What an afternoon! ..1g..
