CLASS PROPHECY Upon completing the Annual of 1945, the two great masterminds, John Trcka and Florence Knight realized their necessity of a trip to see the world. Beginning in South Africa, in the heart of a pigmy tribe, whom should they find but the envy of all the people, Jin (Shrimp) Body, who seems to have shrunk a bit and who is now one and a half centimeters tall. The tribe was gathered in a group and dancing to the jungle music of Arthur Black and Mike Orenick ' s Symphony Orchestra with Joe Thomas at the bass viola and Frank Kocman, former director of the Kenwood Grade School Band at the tom-tom. Continuing on their journey they stopped at the Temple Tea Room which is owned and operated by Katharine Jantzen and Louella Tereba. It was visited quite frequently by Fay Wooley, a missionary, who caused great excitement, but today it was quite crowded as they were distinguishly honored by the great American actress Lucille Gasaway. All of a sudden the entertainment was greatly disturbed by loud commotion. All the guests fled to the doors of the Tea Room and to their surprise and expectation whom should they discover hanging on the tree by his tail but The Raymond Taube ' throwing cocoanuts at the fruit dealer, Sam Barton. After overfatigue they decided to hop a plane and journey to their beloved U. S. A. After five hundred miles of travel in the air, they noticed the only female aviator, Juanita Hansen controlling the stick. More excitement, the plane was tipping to one side because of the overweight of the Jones sisters, which should have been quintuplets, were conversing on the same side of the plane. The great mind of Baron Bob Chapman decided to place one on one side and one on the other so as to balance the plane. Due to an empty gas tank they were forced to land along the shore of the ocean. To their surprise they saw the Big Swede, Carl Frisk, pulling in a whale in a paddle canoe. Whoops! over it goes and to his rescue came the great hero, Chuck Chartos, former All-American fullback, who upheld him until Teddy Ciucki came along with his iceboat and saved the day. The hungry passengers were empty too, the same as the gas tank, and they rushecf to Newman ' s Hotel Restaurant. The last to arrive at the restaurant were Mr. Mayden and Mrs. Mayden, the former Marian Tuffner, with their regiment of five children. Martha Childress entered the dining room later but refused to order due to the fact that her digestive system can live on love. Paging Mr. Bluffing Conley screamed the bell-hop, Arthur Young, who was rushing around with a glass of water making people believe the hotel possessed running water. Oh my stomach, bellowed Olga Zimmerman, and to her assistance rushed the manager, Vernon Hennebohle, who in turn called the chef, Pete Moozakis, who was immediately discharged for serving one hundred per cent proof alcohol in the mixture ,of hamburgers. Howard Klute, the gas man, who was trying to drum up business made the entrance by announcing that the plane was in condition to resume its flight. After many hours of continuous flying, behold the finger of the Statue of Liberty was discovered by the Home Destroyer teacher, Savilla Hayworth. Landing in the American Airport Station during the night it was impossible to see due to the fact that a couple of wire pullers, George Elkins and Nick Kosier, were attempting to repair the flood lights using the knowledge that was bestowed upon them by the great American Electricians, Arnold Engel and Johnnie Gachos. 19

J Departing from the plane they hopped a Cavan Trolley driven by Pauline Nowak and decided to make an overnight stay at the so-called Fern Gusie Hotel. After washing up with the capable assistance of the Hotel maid, Margaret Raskowsky, they decided to tour the sights of New York ' s Fifth Avenue. Going into the Little Theater Off Times Square they noticed at the corner, Albert Brown at the end of the Chain, grinding a hand organ. The curtain went up and to their amazement who should be the master of cere- monies but the one and only Francis Eaton. The first number on the program was Laura Doppler being featured as a toe dancer, her partner being Walter Last. They wore beautiful costumes designed by the former Tech Mannequin, Verda Mae Guse. At last the movie, the main feature of the evening. Dorothy Tatalovich played the revengous victor and Grace Jarrard her greatest competitor, who received the role of the heroine. Naturally Omer. Scholl took the role of the hero. The name of the picture was My Four Dark Years. It was beautifully directed by Edwin Wasserman. Manager Arnold Rosenau was greatly congratulated on his wonderful performance. After the theater was emptied, the janitor, Tom Clayton, was seen sweeping out the peanut shells that Stuart Boyer and Marguerite Daily had distributed all over the floor. After the show they went into the Golank-Blanchard Sweet Shop, and on the wall a large advertisement met their eyes. They gazed closely at it and noticed to their surprise that it was a picture of Marjorie Soloman, Anne Bindas, and Charlotte Sempka displaying the latest fashions in wearing with blond hair. (Naturally they were being paid by the Golden Glint Company. ) Well, they finally got tired of this night life and decided that home was the bost place after all. They took the Vanes Fast Central Train and arrived in Hammond about ten P. M. To their great amazement a large group of people was there to receive them. Anna Mae O ' Donnell gave them a beautiful wreath which read Welcome Home. (She was campaigning for votes in next year ' s election for the Woman ' s Gossip League. ) They were driven home by their family car, with the chauffeur, Paul Skok, and their doorman, George Eichilberger, to assist them. Lights! Music, Laughter! In their honor, Uncle Bob Duncan had a surprise party for them. Of all the people that were present! They could hardly remember or recognize all of them. They noticed tobacco stains on the floor, so they followed them up and found the great cigar and cigarette manufacturers, Dave Lyda and John Minsberg. And Mike Sikora, the architectural draftsman for the Chicago Tribune, conversing with Dorothy Zarndt. Silence! Announcer Eddie Camp: A bubble dance will be pre- sented by Dorothy Geeve, Irma Worley, Ruth Klemm, Georgia Aaron, and Frances Nester. After this most enjoyable entertainment they departed to the library for coffee and cakes. Julia Davis had the honor of pouring, and to her embarrassment she spilled it over Vivian Smith because of the peculiar giggle which Mary Sipkoski brought forth. The guests departed for home about I A. M. (due to the fact that work comes before pleasure the next day). Ruth Koehler and Donald Smith saw them to the door. My what a lovely party. It reminded them so much of the Senior parties they once had. 20
