Class Prophecy It was dusk of a long summer's day. The Monticello World's Fair was in full swing. The brilliantly colored buildings had not yet turned on their newly invented lights created by Professors Edwin Doane and Robert Miles of the Paul Brighton Institute of Technology. I walked through the midway passing such brilliant signs as: Robert Harper's White Heathen Heaven, Evans' Odditorium, Billiardarium, Learn Your Past, Present and Future, See the One and Only Madame Charlotte. I stopped before the last, fished a half dollar from my pocket, paid and went in. Presently, Madame Charlotte entered. I emitted a gasp of astonishment when I recognized my old class- mate Charlotte Hannah. She was not astonished at my presence, however, since she knew everything. I scoffed at her profession and asked how she came to enter lt. 'I and Helen Frye discovered the principle of managing to know about everything and everybody while in English class at schoo1,' she answered. I asked, 'What has become of my old classmates while I've been at the Rlpperdan Salubrarlum recovering from my breakdown while working on the annual?' She said she would tell what had happened to each if only I had something to help her memory. I produced my bottle of Hayes and Sons Bourbon, and she refreshed her memory. She then went into that trance we knew so well in school, with every movement but that of speech at a standstill. 'Bill Fosnaugh is in Hollywood working on the new version of 'Curly Top' with Frances Harper and Dale Barbour. 'Helen Frye is in m profession in Hollywood and she is reported engaged to Bob Moffltt.
