PROPHECIES if f ff politics and intrigue which exists within the Iroquois nation where he has served as ambassador for the past 20 years. William King and Keith Clausen spoke together and recounted the successful operation which Clausen, now an eminent plastic surgeon had been able to perform on King following the second World war. King had been leading his regiment in battle when his nose was shot off by a 25 shell. He had been decorated for bravery and is at present living on a government pension. Clausen was able to replace the nose--it really looks natural. John McKee passed free samples of his famous product which you have prob- ably seen advertised in Europe, McKee's Marvelous Mackeral which Makes Millions Merry. His famous packing plant is located on the Edwards River. The only element of dissention seemed to be between Delbert Disch and Vernon Steele. Both had amassed a fortune with their Hacky-Wacky bands but were bitter rivals. Steele seemed to have an edge on Disch since he has made a nice sum by train- ing and selling seeing-eye dogs. Harold J. Arnstein and his brother-in-law, Patrick O'Toole, have bought out Hart Schaffner and Marx clothiers, their company is known as A. Sz O. Clothiers. Donald Nusholtz has established a chain of delicatessansg McKee reports him as being one of his best customers. Joseph Sebestyen, who returned a hero from the World War II where he had fought bravely in the battle for Palestine, serves as gen- eral manager for Nusholtz' stores. His favorite spot is called Joe's Place. Paul Scruton stood on the fireplaces so that we could see him and told of his harrowing experiences as a spy in Tokyo. He has succeeded Hoover as head of the F.B.I. Norman Tankel, dressed in a leopard skin, informed us that he had retired from big game hunting and was now serving in the capacity of general adviser for Bell Tele- phone Company. George Koupal had little to say and simply seconded Martiny's speech. George has been Martiny's secretary since getting out of the army. Joseph Green, famous connosieur of soups, has risen to great heights as the originator of Green's Mock Turtle Soup. He owns a famous Fifth Avenue restaurant. Confidentially, he told me that A. S. is now his official hostess. Stuart B. Krohn is serving as secretary of the state under the present admin- istration. His experience at R. M. A.. had aided him greatly in his chosen work, so he stated. Major Louis Brand has successfully worked himself up in the army because, and I quote, I found it impossible to make love to women who ranked me. By the time all of our classmates had finished their discourse, it was time for me to hurry back to my business.. Next week we are putting on the market our new product Nelson's Smile-A-While tooth powder. We are to meet in 1983, Rosie, and I surely hope that you will be there. Very sincerely yours, Jack Nelson, President, NELSON PRODUCTS CO. P. S. John Staren still claiming that the North Central Association recognized him as a senior in '43 chloroformed the Sergeant of Arms and joined our reunion. Nineteen

-5 if if SENIOR CLASS flu which Jack Nelson writes to Robert Rosenbaum following the reunion of the class of '-13.1 l Robert Rosenbaum, D.D.S. New York City, N. Y. The Vatican June 10, 1973. cfo Pope Pius XXXIII , Rome, Italy, V. C.: My Dear Doctor Rosenbaum: I have just returned from the rbunion of R. M. A.'s class of '43-all of the boys missed you and we were sincerely sorry that your dental engagement with the Pope prevented your being in attendance, I trust that your mission was successful and that you have added one more victory to your growing reputation as the world's most renowned false-jobberf' l Now to the reunion- We met on June 6, exactly thirty years after the day of our entrance into the outside world. You were informed that we were to meet at R. M. A.-How it has changed! The campus is now composed bf 22 acres and 7 beautiful buildings. As the group, composed of 21 of our old membets, toured the campus there was not a dry eye among us, especially as we gazed at Castor and Pollux now vine covered and looking a little worse for age. The sight of these sturdy fireplaces brought back many mem- ories of gay times back in the 40's. Our reunion dinner was scheduled for 6:30 on the athletic field and it was de- cided that each returning member would briefly review the happenings of his life dur- ing the intervening 30 years since we had last met. Willis Taylor, who has succeeded Mr. Anthony as the international adviser love- lorn, served as toastmaster. He informed us that he had been married and divorced 12 times and felt that all his advice', came from first-hand experience. He has also pub- lished a handbook entitled, Lure 'Em, Love 'Em and Leave 'Em -it is considered a best seller. All speeches were to be limited to five minutes. Senator William Thomas put on a filibuster and talked for well over an hour. I gathered from his remarks that he had been most instrumental in the new federal bill which provides for the building and maintaining of an insane institution at Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The senator was succeeded by William Pearson who, rather than talking, dem- onstrated some of his popular strong ma acts which have won him an enviable bill- ing with the Bingling Brothers One Ring Circus. In a recent poll, he was voted the man whose chin was most likely to recede. Robert Martiny held us spell-bound as he discussed inflation, deflation, and other pertinent information which he had gathered during his seven years as minister of finance in Dypsomania. Imagine how stlrprised I was to hear that he had reserved a room at the Mercer County Poor Farm -t the scene of his first financial success. Juck Bones, or as you will remember him, William Martin, credits all his suc- cess to his movie horse, Sliver, which he had ridden from Hollywood. The Honorable Stewart B. Koppel etitertained our gathering with the account of Eighteen 1
