90 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Class Prophecy fC0l7fil7Zt6Cl from Page 881 Intelligence Service. A registered veterinarian and the one-time owner of Washington's largest horse-and-dog hospital, Doctor Hare is now taking care of a large number of thoroughbred artillery mules somewhere back of the lines. Trible, who used to be a private detective in Brooklyn, is now rendering invaluable service to the army as a secret operative. Unimpaired by a large and conspicuous stature, he is particularly adept at slipping through the enemy's lines and getting hold of their secret plans, which he copies down word for word before escaping to safety by the skin of his teeth. Three members of the Class of 1940 are not in the fighting zone. Walter' Swift, whose quiet manner and hnely chiselled features were always clear proofs of an Indian ancestry, discovered soon after leaving Saint Albans that he was a direct heir to a large tract of land in Okla- homa, together with a score of oil wells and a score of million dollars, the property of his late fourth cousin, Chief Roaring Buffalo of the Sioux. He immediately purchased Bill Manger's racing yacht, and is now on a diplomatic tour of the South Seas, reputedly spreading propa- ganda for the Allies. Not to be outdone, Burr Piggott, after an unfor- tunate love affair with a cafe-society glamor girl, is drowning his sorrows in furious orgies of gambling at Monte Carlo, preparatory to signing up for ive years in the French Foreign Legion. Safe and prosperous is John McClure, one-time prominent member of the New York Stock Exchange, who left the United States after considerable trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission. He recently amassed a huge fortune in arma- ments, reputedly by salvaging obsolete machine guns from public parks and selling them to belligerent nations. At the present time he is dicker- ing with Mussolini on a ucamphorated gunpowderf' a sort of mothball compound, which he guarantees will make projectiles travel 600 miles per second faster. f fEdif01 5 nofeg Theraboveg dispatch was written byw Van Ness Philip, who at the outbreak of the Third World War, had resigned his post as Ainbassaidor to the Court of St. James to get back into the journalistic profession, which was his first-love. Philip, known in student days as the man who never slept, had, to the great amazement of all but his classmates, been invited to fill the recently-vacated editorship of The lVaxhingfo11 Posf, immediately following his graduation from Saint Albans.j , G 1 W , 1 lf .Smal V ,gig .fi gr 'A fy? 7420 'fa' :J Q11 fl U - it ' ' 9. l N
