Wheel 0 ortune Breaksg This eventful day began when Joe Lafayette, Sr., master of odd occurrences, wandered into the booth that houses the magnificent Wheel of Fortune. The Wheel is the only one of its kind in the world and is the gift of the Senior Class of 1956 to Lafayette High School. True to his Lafayette training, Joe took a chance on Number 56, the symbol of the world's finest Senior class. The wheel whirled round and round, faster and faster, emitting gleaming maroon and white sparks. But suddenly the wondrous wheel slipped from its axle. It flew out into the crowd! Screaming people scattered. Catastrophe threatened. Death leered. Out of the chaos emerged calm, unruffled FRED MEDNICK, the famous detective. Never fear, he exclaimed. I shall discover the reason for this grave accident? Setting to work, he sent for MARION CAMPO, the famous nuclear physicist, who had just been awarded the Nobel Prize for a new Theory of Remote Relatives by Marriage. But even Marion, who had received her early training under Mr. Harry Schnapp in Lafayette, failed to solve the mystery. Hlts basis is friction,', she said. Fred was undaunted. He would look elsewhere for assistance! He enlisted MYRNA KATZ, LYNN HOLLANDER and EDYTHE HAENDEL, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalists. They contacted experts from all over the world, who were flown to the fair by DAVID SCHATZ, ace of the airways. Still overawed by the speed of their flight, LINDA SCHMUKLER and RITA MEYER, gym teachers extraordinary, tackled the problem with all their strength. Heading a squad of Junior Coaches, resplendent in maroon uniforms, they turned the entire carnival area inside out, in the best spirit of Mrs. Leolya Reid and the Lafayette Health Education Department. LEONARD FLEISHMAN, who had formerly been known only as a leader of choruses, now turned his talents to lead- ing the search. But his failure was announced in melancholy tones by BARBARA GOLDBERG and PAUL SORVINO, Oscar winners for the past five years. PAUL VEGODA, editor of Sports Slants Illustrated, spoke up. 'LI can ask the fans to contribute to a collection for a new wheelf' he said. I can be in charge and hold the money, added ELAINE HANDSMAN, Wall Street tycoon. VVALTER ORLINSKY, the successful politician, after consulting with eminent lawyer, BARRY DEUTSCH, exclaimed, HI can use my political influence to make sure we get a good replacement. But will it be as good as the old one? asked STANLEY GARDNER, Sec- retary General of the United Worlds. If we could get the General Assembly to subsidize . . . He was interrupted by a rather noisy conference of SANDRA EISENSTEIN, JUDITH SISKIN, and KAYLA GERSTMAN, three artists who had been as- signed to the project. They had hit a snag in their plans, and SHEILA WAL- DINGER, first woman president of the United States, had been consulted. ROB- ERTA ERLICHMAN and CAROLE TREMAINE, teachers of England's Royal Family, were offering their advice. MYRNA NEURINGER, now the editor of Life, was covering this special conference with her chief photographer, ROBERT Twenty-two
