Class Prophecy ------FLASH---------We interrupt this program to bring this latest news bulletin--the cosmic space ship S. S. Hotrod, ’’ designed by that noted U. S. mechanical wizard, Leroy Newton, has taken off on its initial trip to Mars. As we hear Leroy’s name announced over the radio system inside our space ship, we thought of the many classmates of bygone years and wondered what they were doing. Traveling through space gave us ample time to ponder. Unconsciously my hand flicked the dial of our television set (music helps me think) and then—it happened. A clap of thunder, a burst of lightning, and our screen showed a large lecture hall seating many people who apparently were very much absorbed in the speaker, Patricia Joyce Lind. She was speaking on heredity versus environment, and she still maintains environment doesn't influence intelligence. Pat has even started a political party called Tnemnorivne T'nia Gnihtyreve. This is environment ain't everything spelled backwards. We remember Pat arguing about this, but we didn't think she was serious! We didn't agree with everything Pat said, so we flipped the dial still in search of music. Woops! We passed up something. We hurriedly turned back to this well-built specimen of manhood, and whom should we see but Larry Bickle. Larry is being crowned Mr. America by Charles Atlas, who has lost this honor to another man with an even more perfect build. We heard Larry explain to a reporter half hidden by a press card that he owes it all to clean living. As we peered into the screen, the re- porter disgustedly threw his hat (press card and all) on the floor; and we recognize Chuck McKeen. We put in a planet to planet call to Chuck. He is surprised to hear from us, but he has even more surprising news for us. He has just received the Pulitzer Prize for his controversial article Women--luxury or necessity? which was published in the New York Times. He is a reporter for the New York Times and has been offered a job as associate editor. We wished him luck and told him to be sure and tell his wife and family hi for us. Chuck told us that Pat Moss had just won the Mother of the Year award. She married a serviceman, and they decided to raise their own private army. He said her children had to get up 15 minutes early in order to be ready for roll call. Her oldest son, Percival, ran away and Pat didn't miss him for some time. Seems he heard Pat speak of her classmate Jerry Robson, who owns the famous Sagebrush stable. Percival wanted to be a jockey, and he decided it would save a lot of trouble to start at the top instead of working up. Jerry is famous for his friendly good nature and his readiness to lend a hand to any newcomer. In fact, his horse Maroon Panther, the Kentucky Derby favorite, was a fugitive from the bone factory when Jerry rescued him. He recharged Maroon Panther with a Permalife battery (another of Leroy's inventions), and now he's as good as new. We still haven't heard any music, so we change the dial again. The result is a blur of faces, but we finally manage to distinguish Jerry Pratt and Carl Firm industriously working with a ruler, a compass, and a protractor in a handsome workshop. Jerry is an electrical engineer, and he's trying to convince Carl that if he sticks a screw driver in a light socket, he'll get shocked. Carl is a mrthematician, and he says according to his calculations this won't happen. It seems to us the logical way to prove this is for Carl to stick the screw driver into the socket, but Carl isn’t having any. We listened to Carl and Jerry chatter, and we discovered that Carl has taken Einstein's place at Harvard. Jerry has graduated from Butte School of Mines with honors. They are the owners of the new manufacturing company,Admiral Automatic, which worked out the details on Leroy Newton’s S. S. Hotrod. Their new company was just getting its start, and Leroy decided to help them along and let them build his space ship. Leroy had been successful with his Permalife battery, and he didn't forget his classmates when they needed him. Just then Jerry stabbed Carl with the compass, and the sound that came from Carl was anything but musical. Needless to say, we flipped the dial again. We saw a doctor's office before us with Joan Werner, Child Specialist on the door. The door opened by remote control, and we saw a small brunette child, her mother, and Joan earnestly discussing something. Being naturally curious, we leaned forward to hear an amazing conversation. Joan is ex- plaining to the mother that her daughter, Barbara, should have her hair bleached or dyed. Joan says very
