CLASS PROPHECY On this July, 1959, Detroit is gripped by one of those typical hot, sultry, sum- mer days. We can feel very fortunate that the World's Fair ground is very close to Lake St. Clair where we are relieved from the heat. We have been traveling most of the day but the fair will certainly we well worth our time for Michigan Representative, Janette Parmeter, from our local district, is speaking on a coast-to-coast hook-up on the possibilities of atomic energy to heat the government buildings in Washington.

For the comfort of the weary sightseers, John furnishes his building with Leo Schrnidt's ultra-modern easy chair which reclines in three positions-- resting, dozing, and sleeping. In the Farmers' Building, we view the new inventions with great interest. Jerry Adanis and Kenny Kline are demonstrating the Muck Farmers' Miracle, which pulls, tops, and washes carrots. Jerry is in gales of laughter over the new comic sensation ll
