SOPHOMORE CLASS PROPHECY It is 1960 and the great blustering world is humming on in all its busy activity. Somewhere in the Congo Basin of darkest Africa a small s£ari is slowly wending its way through the thick underbrush. Out in front are six natives carrying ammunition, and excavating materials. Then comes a grim figure clad in a khaki uniform, with stout brown boots, and a jungle hat. It is none other than the distinguished Madame Hallie de la Celeste Faith Trauba Molyneaux, M. D. She is carrying on the noble work of her husband the late Monsieur Francois Petite Molyneaux, and treks many weary miles through the unknown wilderness in search of specimens which have never been seen by the eyes of mankind. In- deed her important discoveries have led to a complete revolution in the medical world. All of a sudden our distinguished friend halts the safari with a simple gesture. Taking a few steps to the right, she stoops ad lifts a small object from the tall grass, What can it be? Is it possible that the famous doctor has crowned her many achievements with one exception discovery? Out of the supplies comes microscoi:e, dissecting set3, hand lens, fluoroscope, stethoscope, etc, and Madame proceeds to examine her findings. Her yes glisten with anxiety and lust for something new. The natives cluster around, standing with bat.d breath as th y watch -v ry movement of thw doctor's skillful hands. At last she rises, the light of success beaming from her countenance. TJje newspapers next morning carry to the whole civilized world the exciting new3 that Madame Kailie de la Cele3t Faith Trauba Molyneaux, M. D. ha3 discovered a new species of horned toad which is expected to make drastic change3 in th? medical profession. A copy of this newspaper carrying the startling new3 found its way into the luxuriou3 offices of Mr. Ru33Cll Bandlow, the r ncarnwd architect who had ju3t constructed a one-hundred eighty story s y- ocrapwr. Seated with Mr. Bandlow in hi3 office is the highest paid baseball pitcher in the American League, Olivor Krueger. The two men have been negotiating on the formation of a new team xc be called th3 Bandlow Super-Special3. A3 Mr. Bandlow reads this sensational article in the medical section he speaks: Say, Findy, doesn't this name sound familiar to you? Madame Hallie de la Celeste Faith Tr .uba Molyneaux, K. D. I hrve iti That famous doctor is none other than Kallis Tr?.uba, the girl who used to 3it behind m3 in tenth grade at Theresa Public School. Remember her, Windy? I should 3ay I do. She always 3;,id 3he wanted to be a doctor ..nd she finally hU3. Say wouldn't it be fun to find the other members of xh.;.t class and pay a vioit to Hallie'3 laboratory in the Congo? It 3ure would be grand. But what about that rest that your doctor said you needed after that big construction job? Oh, I'll go to a sanitarium . nd re3t for a while and in the meantime you c n be scouting around and inquiring about the where- abouts of the other people. Wonder where P by, the prof33ocr,
