Class Prophecy As (lie sun cast its last rays upon a little white cottage on Long Island, an imported green roadster drew up and stopped. A handsome young man with blond hair stepped briskly from the car. He was by his three-year-old son, who lisped, “Oh, Daddy Gene, we going to the thiren tonight ; Muzzer Barbara says we was.” ihat night, while at the circus, the Sinn family witnessed a terri- ble accident. The famous fat lady, Dorothy Reinhardt, fell from her po- sition at the extreme top of the tent. Fortunately, she landed on the back of an elephant and was uninjured. I he next day the Sinn family started on a world-wide tour by plane. In Ireland they came face to face with a thin, lanky gentleman who was veiling, “Walloons, balloons, toy balloons, all sizes and colors.” Barbara exclaimed, Well, it it isn t our old Iriend, Art. Why are you so thin Art?” “WV11, you see,” he replied, “I always fill up my own balloons.” As they passed an aerial postotlice where they stopped to mail a card, they found .Judd Sommers, the professional stamp licker. (An added service in all up-to-date postoffices.) At the Lazy Z Mule Ranch in Siberia they saw Rill Claypool win a rodeo. In a chop suey shop in Peking, China, Junior bumped into a wait- ress who was gracefully balancing a bowl of chop suev on her Lead.. After wiping the soup from her eyes and ears she was discovered to be Helen Bukalski. Sailing along the coast of China, they were overtaken by a band of pirates. The leader, a short, stout person, was recognized as Eugene Rog- owski. Later as they rested in the Brazilian jungle, they heard a voice behind bushes saying, “One, two, bend—one, two, swing—swing.” Upon investigation they found Miss Dittmer surrounded by Brizilian Monkey Community School. In Cairo, Egypt, a dark-lmired lady, standing on the street corner pointed her finger at them and said, “15,81)7,634; 15,897,635; 15,897,636.” When asked to explain, Mary Ann told them she was the world census taker. In Constantinople a sign on a large building announced, “The Great American Doctors.” Inside they saw Gene Tabler and Bill Neuffer who told them that their secret formula for H20 and C12 11220, with equal parts of Sodium Chloride was bringing them wealth. Beverly Johanson was in Paris modeling new Paris creations.
