CLASS PROPHECY by Paul Prewitt and Willard Roberts One sunny afternoon in the summer of 1958, I, Paul Prewitt, after many successful years as a telegrapher, and I, Bud Roberts, after many interesting years as a street cleaner, met for the first time since we had graduated from Laclede High School in 1948. We decided we would buy a rocket plane and visit our old classmates who had moved to many parts of the universe. But first we picked up a couple of girls from our home state, Missouri. After having done this we headed straight for the moon to visit Rayma Lee Barrows. As a high school student Rayma Lee had been a very poor cook, so you can readily see how surprised we were to find her an accomplished dietitian, working to extract a new process of green cheese from the moon. This was to be used in a new wonder drug for the cure of alcholics at the Judd Institute at Newtown, Missouri. Rayma Lee told us that Mr. Judd is also the coach of a basketball team which is made up of ex-patients from the Institute. Next we flew to Krypton, the planet on which Superman lived. There we found Ann Hoover and Bonnie Lou Van Dyke who are the brain specialists. and chiropodist of the Krypton Specialist's Institution. There we left them trying to discover the secret of the Kryptonian's superhuman strength. Hurtling through space at nearly a hundred million miles per hour, the girls becarne airsick, so we decided to make a quick landing on the first planet to which we ca.me. We landed in a wheat field that must have covered several thousands of square miles. There we were surprised when we were greeted by the former June Allen and her husband, Charles Jennings. They informed us that they had been very successful in having discovered a new variety of wheat which would grow only on the planet of Saturn and whose grains were the size of apples. Soon our girls were feeling better, so we again took to the air with our destination being Mars. Having arrived on Mars we found the former Joyce Ann Mathiasch and Iris Bauswell as partnership owners of the largest beauty salon on the planet of Mars, the name of the establishment being ' 'Brammers' We-Fix-It Shoppe They informed us that their husbands had joined the army of Mars, now in- vading the planet Venus, which is inhabited only by women with one exception. Hearing this we decided to leave Mars at once to see how the invasion was progressing.
