CLASS PROPHECY (Cont’d.) Hickaypoo, Africa, trying to convert the natives, with Evelyn Allen as chief Sunday school teacher. It seemed Joanne Cecil was a private eye for Scotland Yards, and Mary Frans was the proud owner of a banana plantation in Peru. She specializes in banana glue. It’s absolutely guaranteed to glue prefabricated houses together. The magic carpet’s next landing was in Dry Gulch, Nevada. There Stanley found Nancy Tritsch as the proprietor of the Gold Nugget Saloon. As he walked through its swinging doors, a shot rang out and another varmit bit the dust. Stanley peered down into the lifeless face of the victim and saw that it was Ron Eiserman, the slickest, smoothest gambler west of the Mississippi. Vic Volkart, bartender, dragged Ronnie out so he wouldn t clutter up the place. Mary Leona Bintner was keeping everything lively by sitting on top of the piano and singing, “I’m Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage’’ to the tinkly piano playing of George Born. George is a prospector. He hasn’t struck it rich yet, but he never gives up hope. Stanley’s next stop was Paris. Here he found Geraldine Wood working in a cabaret as an Egyptian Hootchy Kootchy dancer. Joyce Fauquet was the talk of the town. She had just won an award for being the best artist of the century. It was horse racing season in Paris and Stanley decided to take in the races. At the ticket counter was Annette Troop and Marilyn Koukal. They had both gotten jobs as secretaries in Washington and were now married to the U. S. ambassador to France, Bob Wondra. In France it is not illegal to be a bigamist and Bob took advantage of that fact. A nan in a derby hat and yellow and red plaid suit came up to Stanley and told him he had a hot tip on the race. He looked something like Coonie Kennell. “Bet on Aunt Martha’s Hangnail in the 1st.’’ Stanley couldn’t resist, so he placed a bet with a shady looking character at the ticket window. Carol Haase made a fortune off the tourists who fell for the gag. The winner of the first race was Grandma’s Wisdom Tooth, ridden by Jennifee Short, the only woman jockey alive. She had won the Kentucky Derby for ten consecutive years for the Green Mountain Stables, owned by Marilynn Stoehr. Stanley, being quite disgusted at himself for being “took”, decided it was time he just gave up and went home. The carpet deposited him safely on his door step and flew back to its owner, Ronald Hunt, the Sultan of Turkey. £k M. —17—
