CLASS PROPHECY It was a glorious, sunshiny morn, and on deck of Stognerk Streamlined Steamer, I reluctantly tore myself away from my copy of For Whom the Birds Chirp, written by the well known novelist, JEAN ORMSBY. The desperate cry, Man overboard! pierced my ears, and I rushed to the scene, just in time to see JOHNNY HAMER, the world champion diver, heroically plunge into the deep! At that moment, I overheard CAPTAIN CHARLES PHILLIPS explaining to his cabin boy, BARENT KOONTZ, that a MR. ROBERT STANSILL, in desperation, had leaped overboard trying to recover his new set of Brandi False Teeth, fitted by the famous woman dentist, ANN KELLY, Bob, with a grin that almost reached his ears, was coming in my direction, waving his recovered treasure over his head. I greeted him enthusiastically, overjoyed at the prospect of talking over old times. Why, Bob, how wonderful! You're the last person I expected to see in the middle of the Pacific! What have you been doing all these years, and what made you decide to sail? Let me pull up a chair, Ann! It seems that we will have plenty of time while my brand new Poole'J Tailored suit is drying. It's guaranteed not to shrink. It all began one peaceful day when I decided to go to Clarh'r Theatre and take in a movie. I had just finished passing the time of day with Mayor JACK MORGAN when I slipped on a piece of Deaver Stick-Tight Gum and all but ruined the shine on my new pair of Rorie Fit-All Shoer. I quickly ran into the theatre, buying my ticket from Count-em-Out DAWKINS on the way in. GEORGE CRUMP tried to persuade me to buy some popcorn but when I noticed the machine was manufactured by DEAL and DEANE, who are incidentally married, I was afraid to take the risk. I did finally give in to a MARZE candy bar. Groping around in the dark, I secured a seat beside LOUISE BISHOP, who was engrossed in the dramatic love scene between ANN STEADMAN and GEORGE MCDONALD, two talented players of the year. Two majestic voices then sounded, shaking the theatre with their volume! ELIZABETH STOREY and CHARLES GARRETT, the greatest opera singing team of the day, were in the spotlight. I ran out quickly for fear the building might fall, but I slowed my paceewhen I noticed a sign saying the theatre was constructed by the CAULDER and DUTTON Construction Company. I went in LEVlNE'S Cafe to have lunch and noticed it was being inspected for cleanliness by FRED BULLARD. RALPH CAMPBELL was cashier, but he also played his trumpet on the sly. When I discovered the two head cooks were DEAN MARTIN and JOE HUTCHINSON, who, they say, are extremely good at pancake Slinging, I eased out of the cafe. I jumped into my PHILLIPS Plartic Plymouth QGrayson is quite a successlj, and started through town, when suddenly I heard a strange, knocking sound coming from the motor. At first, I thought surely it must need another SAUNDERS' Atom Pill, but I found it only needed a little water. I pulled Over to FOWLKES' Gay Station, which had all girls as employees. JEAN ALLEN smilingly shined my windows, and MARGIE YATES grinned as she repaired my brakes. REBECCA KIKER came out, slinging a wrench, but all I needed was a little water, so for fear they would start on me next, I decided to walk. I later found that their slogan is Service with a Smile. A postman was coming down the street and I immediately recognized him as my old friend, LEWIS NICHOLS. Remembering the letter I had written to my Congresswoman FRANCES RUSSELL, frantically begging her to establish a suitable eating place somewhere, I gave it to him to mail and was again on my way. I was utterly and completely starved, SO again I looked for a place to eat. There was a sign ahead advertising the MASKE and MASKE Soda Shop, but recognizing the names, I decided not to enter. I had to have food, so, in desperation, I called DYSON'S Taxi Company. In a few minutes EDITH HENDRIX, the best taxi driver in town, pulled up to the curb. I begged her to take me to a place where I could get a decent meal at a reasonable price. She said that AMANDA COVINGTON and MURIEL BRAY ran a steak shop on the other side of town. Over this I collapsed! The next thing I remember is seeing JEANNE MCQUEEN and HERBERT YATES, who were studying medicine, standing beside me. DR. CONNIE MATTOX came in and explained that I had been rushed to the hospital. I called my lawyer, MR. WILLIAM HORD, to come get me out of there, but he said it was the best place for me. I was put on a diet of PIERCEJS Pineapple juice, but every day or so I was allowed an ANDERSON Vitamin Pill. While being taken into the operating room, I found that MELBA Cox and MARY DELL THOMAS were also in GORE'S Hospital. One of their chemistry experiments failed to work out the way they expected. It took all of my strength, but I turned my head and read on the tag that the stretcher was made by the WALL Stretcher Company. In the operating room, the doctor doubtfully looked at me and picked up a scalpel. I screamed in terror when I found it was made by the KANIPE Knirfing Company, It was then -I-24+
