Prophecy In a small cottage m the suburbs of Omaha our former Mxss Gustason just tucked ln her three sets of trxplets and has settled down mn front of the fxre to kzll a few hours before bedtxme She reached for her True Romance magazme but she pxcked up by mxstake the Who s Who xn Amerxca for 1961 The book fell open to a full page picture wxth a b1g bold headlxne WORLD S NEW HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CHAMPION Curlous to know who owned th1s fam1l1ar face she began to read the artxcle and to whom do you suppose It belonged? None other than Kenneth Mornson Well now that was qulte a coxncldence Vera had been class sponsor when Kenneth was a sen1or at Or1ent I-hgh School xn 1951 She began to wonder whether or not the rest of th1s remarkable class had achxeved enough success to rate a hstxng ln the Who s Who Wxth th1s thought she excxtedly turned through the pages hunt1ng more famxlzar faces and names Realxzxng that she was gettmg no place fast she decxded to use one of her old grade record books and look them up alphabetxcally Mary Andersen was the fzrst name on the lxst so turmng to the A s she slum med through the pages and sure enough there was Mary Well xmagxne that' A Lonely Hearts and Escort Bureau under Mary s d1rect1on 1n the bxg town of Spauldmg Hum Vera mused do you suppose Spauldxng has grown that much smce l saw 1t last?
