CLASS PROPHECY JUNE 1949 Introduction—We are deeply indebted to the United Federation of World Scientists for lending us their newest, extraordinary, stupendous, collossal invention, The Radar Futur-scope”. This amazing invention enables us to peer into the mysterious future to perceive the brilliant achievements of the illustrious class of ’49. When Miss Caroline Bailey, famous child psychiatrist, was asked recently to what she owes her tremendous success, she answered simply, “My success lies in the fact that I was once a child myself”. Peg Bosworth known to her exclusive clientele as “Pegine” has just announced the opening of her million dollar fashion salon, featuring her new creation. This beautiful serene blond from Peru has revolutionized the fashion world with her fringed jeans that can be converted into glamorous evenings gowns by the simple process of draping forty yards of gold lame material around the wearer, not forgetting, of course, to let the fringe show. Bob Sargent, head of the advertising firm with the famous slogan, “It you want advertising with a zest, come to Sargent’s and we’ll give you our best”, is slowly driving his competitors to ruin with his new and now famous “advertising-less-advertising”. His competitors say he is unfair, but the general public loves him. Mr. Sargent says his next step will be to start “commercial-less commercials” on the radio. Mary Hart, famous linguist, has recently returned from Egypt where she deciphered some private letters of King Tutti-Fruitti III, whose tomb was opened last May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine. One of the first letters Miss Hart translated had to do with subscriptions. The letter was a request from a certain individual named Elwin Twombly to buy advertising space in a publication called “The Commencement Issue of the Academy Student”. It seems this Mr. Twombly needed some money to get this publication printed. Lorna Stone, famous tennis star of Garden City, L. I., has recently completed her world tournament. Miss Stone has managed to walk away with every tennis honor known. All sports writers agree that her fast, accurate serve and technique of making her opponents run all over the court, rendering them breathless, is the secret of her fabulous success. Bette Wheelock, wife of a chain-store king, has recently invested a small fortune in an independent newspaper in which she plans to tell the world about the private lives of private people. Keith Spaulding, famous television technician and inventor of the twelve dimensioned colored television screen, recently told reporters that he still strives to build “bigger and better ones . At the moment he is working on problem 123472-30-4BF which he hopes will bring, in flesh and blood reality, the famous stars of radio, screen, and television, into American homes. Mr. Spaulding states that the training he received from a certain Mr. Ranger has helped him in his discovery of distributing human cells, thus making it possible for television stars to be in every home at the same time, (haii-tastic, isn’t it?) Roland (Sib) Dumas, racer and daredevil driver, recently told the members of the Daring. Dashing, Dauntless Drivers Club”—quote—“I owe my success to a Mr. . Bixby, who in my youth loaned me his car. It was 21
