IProphecy Con'tJ Soon I was floating over South America. I looked down and saw a man working away. Through closer exarnaning I saw that itvas Darwin Hall, a geological engineer, study ing rockso I As I sailed over'Mexico City I looked down to see Joan Belt, a successful agricult- ural demonstrator. I saw Mary Jean Hoover sitting on the veranda or a beautiful hcrre in Texas, darning her husband's socks. I soon saw that I was sailing over New York. I looked down into an office and there sat Bill Nichols and Bill Rush, both powerful lam- yers. Whom did I find as secretary? None other than Nancy Green. I drifted on and looked clown at Alva Carfrey, whowas thrilling his audience with his wonderful acting, at one of New YorI:'s largest theaters. I noticed to my consternation that my cloud seemed to be floating nearer the earth and that instead of being white it was be- coming decidedly grayish, but since I was not up quite so high, I could see people much more plainly. I env: that I was nom over Washington, and I looked down at the White House to behold Dale B oyd, l3l'SS1dGilT2 or the United States. Seated on a telegraph pole, fixing the wires was Donald Thrasher, an electrician. Then I drifted into Ohio. I realized that my cloud was growing much darker and sailing along at a tremendous speed. I was getting scared, out I looked down on Columbus, vznile sailing over the residential section, and saw Pearl Reese standing in the front yard of a beautiful home with a dozenorso adoring males around her, Ah, thought I, Pearl has not yet been able to choose between BIIBIRQ But

CLASS PROPHECY I am exhausted! Such a time as I have had. I went for a ride in a rocket this morning and whlle soaring above the clouds I accidentally dropped my Dorlne out of the rocket. I leaned over the edge tnsee where it had gone ai,alas, over I went after it. I fell, and fell, and fell, until finally I landed on something soft and squashy. I sat up and discovered that I was sitting on a huge fluffy cloud. The dream of my life had been to sail thru the air on a cloud! I crawled to the edge and peered over. Far down below stretched green fields, md winding roada end blue streams. In the distance was a vast stretchcf blue-green water. Closer and closer to this,floated my cloud, until I realized I was drifting over the Atlantic Ocean. A ship cams into view, and much to my surprise I saw Bill Ehmann pacing the deck with Norma Graham at his side. From their haopy feces I immedi- ately inferred that they were on their honey- moon, so I oulckly looked the other way. Soon the shores of France came into sight, and as I sailed over Paris I looked down on a large hospital and saw a grave, distinguished looking doctor hurrying through the grounds. I sew at once that it was Ned Wilson. Rolling a wheel chair along e narrow walk was Pearlene Williams in the uniform of a nurse. The air grew wermer,:xd warmer as I crossed the lrallan border in the direction of Caori. Imagine my surprise when I saw Jane Reynolds seated on a flowery bank beside a trickling stream mixing her paints for her next painting From Cenri the cloud and I drifted into Spain. In Madrid I snied Violet Elson enter- taining a huge audience with a Spanish dance, Again I found myself drifting out over a vast expanse of water. A queer looking shin sailing under a black flag loomed upon the horizon, and there was Roy Thomoson, a real pirate.
