' PROPHECY ulhe World is Doomed! Doomedln These words rudely shatteredthetrana quillity of a peaceful August day in the year 1960. Casting aside The Growlern I had been avidly reading, I tried to shakeeoffthe stark fearthese ruthless words created. Rushing to the door for reassurance, I was confronted by an excited disheveled human being. The tormented creature brushed past me into the room, his feeverish eyes holding a nameless fear. Hlhe eardiisdoomedl Nobody will will believe me! You mustgyoumust before it is too lateln he cried, clutching my arm in his fervor. Could this beaayes, it must be, my former Hancock classmate, RALPH ARNHOLD. Knowing Ralph's mental depth and his high school reputation for being a walking encyclopedia, I alerted to instant attention. This great sciena List, who had won the acclaim of the world was not to be brushed aside as a madman even though the human nature within me strove frantically to regard as foolish what I so desperatley wished to avoid.

He had heard of the wealth I had accumulated fromthe sale of my permanent lipstick and begged me to finance the plate ing of the new world. I agreed, and a race with destruction was launched that hour. Who were to be the chosen few? It would be necessary to take people from all walks of life, and above all, they must be a congenial groupaano bitter seeds of intolerence or greed, which could ultimatley blossom into war, were to be planted in this new world of ours. 'Suddenly we realized that the solution to our problem was to take our classmates ofl95l. We had worked so efficiently and happily together, and, were we not, even in high school, recognized as a vastly superior group! Hurriedly gettingoutnny Christmas card list we found the needed ada dresses,and within minutes, radargrams were hastening to various points of the globe, carrying probable arrival dates for the rocket.
