CLASS PROPHECY Attention everyone! We interrupt this program to bring you the latest dope on the graduating class of 1939, telegraphed to us by those two ace reporters of the Associated Press, Miss Marybelle Marcuson and Miss Juanamae Knight, who are now circling the globe in their snappy little monoplane, “The Flash.” New York, January 5, 1942—Landed in the famous Tedford A’roort about eight A.M. With our photographer, Mr. Hubert Carlson and our mechanic, Mr. Reinold Johnson, we had breakfast in the exclusive B'lt- more Hotel, where we had the honor of dining with Mr. Stan Sanders, who is now training at Madison Square Gardens, prior to his fight with Ray Granger for the title of World Champion. Mr. Sanders asked us to be his guests that evening at the Roxy Theater, where the toast of Broadway, Miss Verna Sebring and her leading man, the dashing baritone, Mr. Olaf Sather, are playing in a return engagement of the picture that took the na- tion by storm, “When Pa Was Courtin’ Ma.” London, England, January 7, 1942—Were met at the a-rport by Prime Minister Kittleson and his charming wife, the former Miss Helen Ri- der. We had dinner at the Kittleson mansion and afterwards went to the opera, where we had the pleasure of seeing the greatest opera star of all times, Miss Margaret Yonlick, in Mr. Roy Hanninen’s interpretation of that tragic opera, “Ferdinand the Bull.” Needing a bit of cheering up after seeing this doleful epic, the Kittlesons took us to the hot spot of London night life, “The Twin Twerp’s Club,” owned by Miss Barbara Newman and Miss Dorothy Jolitz. The most enjoyable act on the floor show was the man on the flying ditty, dashingly executed by Mr. Carl Bartlett in a two-piece, form-fitting, cheese cloth gown, designed by the noted designer, Miss Beverly Rasmus. Versailles, France, January 8, 1942—Due to military disturbances, our stay in Versailles was very brief. We stopped just long enough to satis- fy the insistant appeals of our photographer, who wanted a picture of his childhood sweetheart, Miss Helen Hanson, now the wife of Mr. Glenn Hedstrom, head chef at the world famous “Can Opener Cafe,” in France. Calcutta, India, January 10, 1942—Our arrival caused a great deal of excitement among the natives, who rarely see an airplane. Mr. Reino Watson, the honorable Sultan Sourpuss, and his lovely wife, the former Miss Wilma Thompson, came to meet us. The Watsons invited us to their spacious palace to spend the night. After dinner that evening, we were entertained by two very talented dancing couples, Mr. Amil Thompson, and his wife, the former Miss Marjorie Iten and Mr. Ray Dobyns, and his wife, the former Miss Eunice Shaffer.

Sahara Desert, Africa, January 14, 1942—Just as we got over the Sahara Desert, our motor failed, and we were forced to land and make repairs. As soon as we stopped the plane, a howling horde of natives rushed out of the brush and surrounded us. Mr. Harold Johnson, known to his tribe as Chief Peewee, ordered the natives to take us captive, and immediately cur hands were t:ed and we were marched to his camp. We were put in a straw hut, about which Mr. Wally Meyers marched, incessantly beating on his drums, w'th Miss Dor' othy Hungar prancing in front of h’m twirh'ng a baton. Our dinner was served by the chiefs two servants, Miss Marjorie Rux, and Miss Meryl Soreide. After dinner. Chief Peewee and two of his tribe’s council, Mr. Oril Wolf, and Mr. Roland Cushman, held a meeting to determine our fate. After an hour, they broke up, and the chief’s interpreter, Miss Ila Johnson, was sent to tell us what they had decided. She said that if our photographer would consent to stay there and marry her, we could go free. Mr. Carlson was very indignant at first, but in the long run, he grew extremely fond of Miss Johnson and was willing to stay. We re' mained long enough for the wedding ceremony, performed by Reverend Harry Bond, and then resumed our travels. Hangchow, China, January 21, 1942—Landed by means of pontoons on the Yangtze River. As luck would have it, we pulled up alongside the houseboat of Empress Laura Morehouse. She invited us in for tea, which was served by Miss Eileen Prent'ce, her maid. After tea, we were enter' tained by a group of Chinese misses, Miss Vera Thompson, Miss Bessie Lofthouse, Miss Violet Keller, and Miss Eleanor Hisey, who are ex' tremely talented in the art of jujutsu. Yokohama, Japan, January 22, 1942—Were not able to stay long, as we had a hurried call from our editor, Mr. Frank Pardee, to return home as soon as possible to give a talk at the U. S. C. We did, however, visit two of our old friends, Miss Evelyn Bowman and Miss Constance Conrad, who model kimonas in a dress shop, owned by Miss Marie Iten. U. S. C., California, February 1, 1942—Mr. Harry Lervick, chosen the most outstanding basketball player at U. S. C„ met us at the airport, and escorted us to the college. He introduced us to Mr. Kenneth Blaine, the All American football star, and Miss Shirley Miller, peppy yell leader of U. S. C. We attended a banquet given in honor of Mr. Charles McLem nan, world famous orator and his wife, the former Miss Ethel Leffler, who helps him with his talks. Lake Stevens, Washington, February 3, 1942—Home at last. The pleasure of having seen our old pals makes up for the work which has piled up on us.
