Class Prophecy Scene: Psychopathic ward of a prominent state institution for the mentally ill. On each side of this ward is a long row of well padded cells. A ghostly silence accentuated by a semi darkness lends a decidedly eerie atmosphere to this scene. From one of the cells at the far end of the ward eminates a flickering light creating grotesque patterns on the wall. Prompted by an irresistable morbid curiosity. we approach and peer into the cell. We see the figures of three men sitting in a huddle around a small table. that is lit by the ebbing light of a dying candle. Upon drawing closer, we see that these figures look vaguely familiar despite their unkempt hair, disheveled clothes and hunted looks. Then with sudden recognition, horror clutches our throats- Ye Gods! -It's ROSENTHAL, RUTBERC AND SAPERIA. just then a guard enters the cell and leads the three of them away. As they obediently follow their keeper, they break out in the following refrain that has an oddly familiar theme: In the water, in the water, thatls all we hear, the whole day through, In the water, in the water, no wonder, we feel so blue. VVhen in the night, we try to sleep, we canlt, Because we still can hear Namias peep, In the water, in the water, the whole night throughf, As their robust soprano voices die out in the distance, we pick up the sheet of paper on which they have been concentrating so intently. We read the following: i'VVe three, believing ourselves to be of sound mind and in complete possession of all our mental faculties Ccontrary to the opinions of the M. S. O. facultyj wish to relate for posterity our most recent experiences, fantastic as they may seem, before the thin thread holding us to sanity breaks from the horrible strain. just a week ago today, we three were viewing with considerable relish, a classical presentation of the Art of Physical Cyrations in the 'iLittle Theatre off Scollay Squaref fbearing no relationship what so ever to the Little Theatre Off Times Square.,'j In the midst of the grinds, bumps and convolutions, we suddenly fell asleep. QDO you believe it-we donlt eitheizj In our subconscious minds, we felt ourselves being whisked away by some unseen force that sped us dizzily round and round in a swaying and sweltering motion. Suddenly it ended and we regained consciousness to find ourselves still together but standing on a strange thoroughfare in an entirely new world. Picking up a discarded newspaper, we noticed with amazement that it was dated February 6, 1963. lust then we heard a newsboy shout DICK TRACY CAPTURES PRUNE FACE, LIL ABNER MARRIES DAISY MAE, BIM CUMP DROPS DEAD LEAVINC ENTIRE FORTUNE TO MOON MULLINS.
