o 'T H E A C oem 4 A-,Ng or V, CLASS PROPHECY7' Jeanne Levesque As I dragged my eyes away from the closing lines of DickensWA Tale of Two Cities? I heaved a huge sigh and leaned my head against the back of the comfortable old arm chair. I seemed to hear the voice of Sydney Carton faintly and then more clearly as I closed my eyes, beckoning me into the future, and as I opened them again, miraculously, I found myself floating along on a cloud with the voice of Carton still ring- 1ng in my ears ------ Looking around I saw a huge dloud hurrying towards me and of all things there seemed to be something on it--the cloud grew larger and larger as it came nearer,and soon I was able to make out one distinct figure with a long pointed red beard, dressed in some sort of cos- tume resembling kilts and amazingly enough he was ,playing bagpipes, emblazened with the numbers 1960. Before I knew it, the cloud was be- side me and onto my cloud stepped Edwards Ross. Seeing my stunned ex- pression, Eddie hastened to explain that he was the newly elected niather Time'3 When I gathered my senses once more and commented on his novel costume, he replied that people were sick of seeing the same old thing every New Year, and this year they were certainly in for -5 sprprise,as he was just leaving for earth. He said he just couldn't wait to see the lodton their faces, when he marched in at l2:OO midnight but he'd have to hurry now or he'd be late. After Eddie left my little pink cloud, I glanced over the edge just in time to see a skyway policeman coming toward me on his cloudmobile. As he approached, I noticed some- thing familiar about him and whenhe was close enough for me to really judge,I recognized my old classmate Stanley Grimes. Pulling over to the side of my cloud, he asked if I .didnft feel a bit insecure riding around on condensed vapor two miles off the ground and suggested I go back to earth with him. I gladly accepted the offer and getting into the side 'car, we started downward. On the way, he told me that Evelyn Knight was very busy attending to her duties as Dean of Cupcake Col- lege in Hottentot, N. Y.,a position which she had held for the past three yearsg that Mr. and ' Mrs. Stuart Gile, the former Janet Sand- erson, were the proud parents of triplets,and also that Elsie Yeaton was considered the leading Evange- list of the times. While serving in South Africa, Elsie had been responf sible for the conversion of humheds of natives. Reaching earth and vdriving through the streets, we saw huge posters advertising the coming of the Barnum and Bailey Circus and starring our old schoo1mate,Kenneth Fowler,as the world's strongest man. Stanley and I came to the conclusion that Kenneth must have eatenhis fresh produce instead of selling if all on his vegetable route, ' Stanley's radio had stopped blar- ing police chit-chat for a few min- utes and I asked him if he'd mind tuning it in to Breakfast in Hhllyf wood. He located the station and whom did the announcer introduce as the new master of ceremonies but Amedee Gourtemanche! Just then we reached Stanley's police station and I was sorry to miss the rest of the broadcast but it could not be helped. I said thank you ahdugood- byen to Stanley and walked up the street, stopping only long enough to buy a newspaper before sitting down to rest--I had just started to read my paper, when afheavy step on the sidewalk made me lift my eyes in time to see Raymond Fife walk bm Very easily now I was able to ac- count for the many statements made by Stanley regarding the efficiency of the World Wide police force. Returning again to my paper, I
