CLASS PROPHECY Another decade has passed, finding me at La Guardia airport in New York boarding a Pan American Jet, and who should I see as my hostess but my former classmate, Sandy Mattson. While talking to Sandy, she told me that I could find two of my former classmates in Hawaii. Upon arriving in Honolulu I was met by Kit Johnson who was vacationing there. Kit tolcl me that she is a private secretary to J. Edgar Hoover in Washington D.C. While talking to Kit, Alvie Warnes came in. He said that he is making a career out of the army and is sergeant over Elvis Presely. Two days later I was on my way to Europe where I was told I could find more of my classmates. First stop was in Spain. There I watched a bull fight and much to my surprise I found out that Norman Brown was a famous bull fighter and is known as Dead the Kid Brown for killing fifty bulls. While watching the fights, who should sit down by me, but Mary Hillstrom who is now a famous author. Her most recent masterpiece, Wally Still's Adventures in Africa , which recently won an oscar. While talking to Mary she said I could find Marlene Carlson and Lois Mitchell in Paris, France where they owned a dress shop known as Madam Marlow's where they make and design their own dresses. Next stop was Saudi Arabia where I found Ray Lofgren, now a retired multi-millionaire known as Money Bags Lofgren, Ray told me that he made his first million in oil and is now retired from the business. He said, with tears in his eyes that we could find Leo Tracy and Erik Moe in Mecca where they both have a harem. Later while talking to Leo and Erik, they told me that they had worked so hard while going to school that they wanted to take life easy. Before leaving they said that Stanley Witt, now a famous center of the Harlem Globetrotters, this year had come to visit them and was talking about quitting the globetrotters and coming over to establish a harem also. Leo's eighteenth wife, formerly from Scot- land, said that she had seen Joan Gleason testing bagpipes last year. I understand, Joan worked herself up to this position because of her loud voice and strong lungs. I was told then that I could find all my other classmates in the United States. After nicely settling myself down on the plane to New York I looked across the aisle and to my surprise I saw Larry Aldrich. He had put on a considerable amount of weight and is now worlds heavy weight champion, and was defending his title against Sugar Ray Robinson and he said I could find Nita Malone, who is president of the Last National Bank of Come-in-and-leave-it-here at 302 Moneybag Street on Pocketbook Square. fcontd. on page fourteenl I3
