Class Prophecy MADAM KRISTLE GAISER ROOM 1955, KWESTION-AIRE BLDG. KRAZIE AND KWILT STREETS Having nothing else to do on a warm day in May, 1945, this card brought me to the room of Madam Kristle Gaiser. Madam was a small, dark woman, clothed in ornate gown and headdress. Below her glowed a huge crystal ball into which her piercing black eyes were staring. The one question which predominated my mind was: NVhat is the class of '45 doing in '55? Silently I seated myself opposite her, and in answer to my question, here is what she told me. Do you care to listen? I see Bill Holcroft is still feeding gullible girls his line. He is in the real estate business.
