H. C. H. S. WINNADA 1926 PROPHECY ON THE EVENING of June 7, 1936, I sat reading the paper when these words attracted my attention, “Let the Mystic Power Guide Your Hand.” Under these were a set of directions. The directions read: “Sit down and place a clean sheet of papar on a table before you, then take a pencil in your hand, and concentrate on the question that you wish answered.” I had been wondering many times during the last year, what had happened to the classmates of 1926, who had graduated from Humboldt County High School with me. I was skeptical as to the results of follow- ing the directions given, but taking a clean sheet of paper I concentrated on the question. I must have fallen asleep for I woke up about an hour later and to my astonishment that sheet of paper iwas covered with writing. The written words ran thus: Mrs. Gael Curto, formerly Vera Leonard, is now taking an ex- tended trip throughout the orient. She is accompanied by her husband and two small sons. Mr. Curto will be remembered as the heir to the estate, valued at two millions, left by the late Ezra Curto. Edwin Byrne is now the wrestling instructor of Harvard college. He lately won two medals for his perfect physique. Joseph Lorentz is now the editor of the “New York Times,” the largest newspaper in the world. Mr. Lorentz has lately moved into his new home on Sixth and Broadway. This beautiful home which is a gift to his wife was especially designed and furnished by the firm called “The Home Beautiful,” of which Sue Abel is the chief designer and decorator. Miss Birdie Sanders, otherwise known as Madame La Rue, has been chosen as the winner of the Women’s Annual Bicycle race. She is the wife of the noted Theodore La Rue, hairdresser and tonsorial specialist in Paris. The Hon. Ralph Adamson was elected governor of Nevada at the last election. He is the youngest man who has ever had the honor of being governor in the United States. Myrle Callahan, the well known inventor has recently made an important invention. She perfected a noiseless alarm clock. Lucille Grandel, has recently been admitted to the bar. She is expected to ,win laurels for herself in the murder trial of Markus vs. Raine. She will act as lawyer for the defendant. Louise Reil is a noted lecturer. She has just completed a tour of the United State on which she gave a series of lectures on “Cats as Carriers of Disease.” Carol Bullis, the champion girl boxer of the world, won the decision in the bout with the German girl champion. Battlin’ Bullis won the first knockout in three rounds.
