C ASS PROPIIECY The other day after I had gotten back to New York from taking my weekend vacationists to my vacation spots, I sat down and picked up my annual of 1956 and started looking at it. I got to wondering what my old classmates were doing, so I sat down and called Mr. Linden. I told him how the other day I saw over my television set in my car that he was made superintendent of that Model School, Okoboji. I told him how after I got out of school, I bought a couple of lots on the Moon and Mars and built Vacation spots on them.
