CLASS PROPHECY This weekend I have decided to take a trip in my Sumneropter to visit my old classmates that gra- duated with me ten years ago in that famous Class of 1953. A Sumneropter is a cross between an air- plane, an automobile, and a helicopter that I invent- ed in my spare time. My first stop is the new rapitol building in Holbrook Square. Since the first woman president. Iris Johnson, came into office, she requested that the Capitol be moved to Holbrook where she and four of the members of her cabinet live. Originally known as the Harmonaires, the members of this group are now Secretary of State, Pauline Cassani; Secretary of Labor, Jeanne Buckley; Secretary of the Treasury, Ann Marella; and Secretary of Commerce, Audrey Dana. They are now able to combine business with pleasure since Congress passed the new law, the Hadfield-Sears Act, that requires all bills to be intro- duced and presented to Congress in music. There have not been too many new laws passed, but at least the government is being run with good har- mony. From the capitol I fly in a few minutes to New York where I meet John Sodergren, who has risen to wealth and fame with his marvelous new book, How to Fly to the Moon in Ten Easy Lessons.” John has been keeping tabs on our class too, and he tells me that Emily McGaughey and Joan Waters are planning to retire on the fortune they have made. You must admit there is no one in the world who can yodel better than Emmy, or anyone who can play a ukelele better than Joan. Setting my Sumneropter for Chicago, I arrive there just in time to meet Shirley Lewis, the Fire Chief of Chicago, returning from a four-alarm fire at the Kemp Vinegar Works. Genevieve did not lose too much, as Shirley got the fire under control in rec- ord time. My next stop is the testing grounds in Arizona where I, along with a few thousand other people, am going to witness, we hope, the return of Paul Downey and Edward Spillane from the planet Mars. They left three months ago in a rocket ship designed by Professors Alphonse and John Uva. The money for this trip was donated by multi-millionaire, Richard Woodman. Among the spectators I notice Janice Snow. She is writing an encyclopedia and is here to gather in- formation about this trip to Mars for it. Janice tells me about an interesting item she has for her en- cyclopedia concerning James Everitts and David Gar- land. They have just completed an expedition to the South Pole. When they reached the pole, they found John Olsen living there. He is, they said, studying the habits of penguins. Leaving Arizona and the excitement, I am di- recting my Sumneropter to Sun Valley. Judy Gilson owns the largest hotel there. Her hotel has won fame for the best food in the United States ever since she employed Arthur Bates as chef. The at- traction this season at Sun Valley is the roller skat- ing champion, Patricia Boyer, and her champion chimpanzee skater. Chimpy was discovered by Robert Savoy ' on one of his many expeditions through dark- est Africa. After her performance, Pat tells me that Earl Albee of the Albee Insurance Company has been doing a wonderful business this season as not many people fall down and break their arms or legs since Barbara Walsh’s invention came on the market. This contraption is a secret formula she devised that is supposed to resist gravity and thus prevent falls. Oh, here is a special bulletin on my Keithla- phone; this is an object similar to a radio and tele- vision but not like either. It was invented by that ingenious Ann Keith. It seems that Paul and Eddie have landed safely but not in Arizona. They landed in the middle of a haystack on Alice Megley’s dairy farm in Sasketchawan, Canada. I am now in Los Angeles at the Memorial Hos- pital. This is one of the fifty hospitals built by Ruth Stokinger and Irene Hambly. They are planning their next hospital in Binki-Binki Bongo. In the lab. I find Beverly Gustavus who has developed a widely discussed chemical spray of great value to hay-fever sufferers. This Sumnersquisher” eliminates all such hay-fever germs contracted from roses, ragweed, and goldenrod. Before I leave the hospital, I hunt up Marilyn Loud at the receptionist desk. She tells me she works there only to fill in her time since she inherited a few million dollars from a long lost uncle. She has also financed Ruth and Irene’s work. My last stop is in Hollywood to see a sneak pre- view of Gretta Gama’s latest picture, The Flaming Beauty.” Gretta was formerly known as Jean Boothby. This picture co-stars the great dramatic actress who won last year’s Academy Award, Margaret Kelleher. On the set I am surprised to meet John Hulbert. John is the head of the electricians’ department. He has invented a light that does not cast a shadow which has revolutionized the lighting business. Upon leaving Hollywood I learn that Marilyn Leonard, this year’s Miss America,” is now trying her luck at being a movie star. She passed her screen test with flying colors and is being given a long term movie contract. Good luck, Marilyn. Turning my Sumneropter now to good old Hol- brook and Summer High, I am filled with peace and contentment because my former classmates have attained fame and fortune in their chosen fields. 14
