We beheld Ivan displaying his latest creations before the royalty of Sweden. Among the mannikins employed in displaying these gowns re were much surprised to see Louise Lawrence who effectively displayed one of Ivan's creations. As our time was limited we took our leave and pre- pared for the next part of our journey. February 30. Having been told of the possibility of using a peculiar variety of hop vines in the manufacturing of our non-itching underwear we left for Stockholm, Sweden, near where it is found abundantly.

Stopped at Stagger Inn near Lake Geneva for supplies. Upon passing the kitchen we noticed a familiar face making hot dogs. Ae were glad to find Eugene Ruthford here. Due to his success at the former High School Carnival, he had gone into the hot dog business, making them of mountain goats. We wished him hearty success and embarked upon our further journey. April 91 Arrived in Australia. Upon further research we found that kangaroo fuzz is very soft and well adapted to such uses as non-itching underwear. At last a solution to our problem. The rest of our journey promises to be a rest from respon- sibilities. April 15. Upon reaching the Philippine Islands, my partner in ex- ploration decided to leave me so he bade farewell to the ex- pedition and joined his wife, Ruby Richardson Lofton, and family, and is now engaged in raising snakes fox their hides, which are used for snake skin shoes and stockings.

CLASS PROPHECY Special to the New York Police Gazette May 27, 2027 DIARY OF SCIENTISTS FOUND The diaaiy of the two famous scientists, Donald 3. Lofton and James A. Hawkins, was recently unearthed in the ruins of and old farmhouse which it has been reported they had once occupied. The diary was dated February, 1947. It was written in connection with the expedition financed by the U-Need-Um Underwear Company to aid in the discovery of some substitute which may be used in the manufacture of non-itching red flan- nels. The most important events of this diary are here given: February 14. Arrived in London, visited London Zoo. sve met our old friend Clarence Lindstrom watering pet canaries, said he enjoyed manual labor more than mental labor, so amon , the many strenuous positions offered him he had chosen tnat as his ideal occupation.

were from friends. One of these letters was from Edith Carlson who after winning world renown as a cook, establish- ed a chain of bakeries. She has been manufacturing angel food cake which is guaranted to give the consumer the same angelic disposition which she herself possesses. Another was from Sadie Lawrence, who had been declared the first woman to go on a reducing diet. She declared that no woman is happy until she could play Yankee Doodle by rubbing her shoulder blades together. A sliced green pea and broiled canary's tongue compose her full meal. As a result of her diets many butchers have been compelled to close up their shops and become radio announcers. Another of the letters was from Harry Brooks who told of his success in the can opener business. Millions of his arti- cles have been sold yearly, however, he states that unless the implement is revised he will quit his present trade, as many try to cut open cans but have only succeeded in cutting open wounds in their hands. He alludes that the can-0pener will be the chief weapon of destruction in the next war. The last letter was highly perfumed b£ the odor of fish. It was found to be from Celia Hysted. She states that Vincent Paschal and herself have established a joint fish market and barber shop. Mr. Paschal it is noted, digs clams between shaves. Their success is largely due to the splendid business qualities of Celia. They have just purchased a new Ro ls- Rough coupe imported from England. The missive further states that Gus Forsberg had been heard from. It said he received many medals for bravery in the Chinese Rebellion, after join- ing the Navy, and had been advanced to the position of first class holy-stoner. This data was all given in the letters. Upon careful study it was found that all these letters and noted were from the various members of the Class of '27 of Lake Stevens High School. Upon furtner study it was found that Miss i’urnei, their adviser was the happy housewife of the most prosperous farmer in Wintiiropville. This diary is the only data found, of the famous scient- ists and will undoubtedly open up valuable information for the procuring of a valuable substitute for wool in non-itching underwear.
