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,

They 3tay for about two months examining, studying, and analyzing the strange, r?,re, 3peci3s of horned toad that Hallie ha3 found. During the stay each member of the party contributeo some- thing to the improvement of the little Congo village. Russell supervises the building of an addition to Halli83 8mall laboratory so that more homed toads can be housed with com- fort. Windy organizes several of the native youths into a baseball team which really 3howed great promise. Pearl instructs the f..ir m..idens of the village in the art of m-ke-up so that they can further attract the members of Windy's baseball team. Hedwig opens a clao3o for instruction in the art of speaking English and really teaches the natives 3ome of her well-worded phrases. Virginia act3 a3 Hallie'3 trusted companion on all further safari expeditions. Rosemary proceeds to do her social work and oucceedo in cleaning up the village. Annette continues her stenographic duties by recording in permanent form all of Hallies discoveries. She had a great time counting all the horns on the homed toad. Jeanne succeeds in getting the village maidens to adopt more colorful and becoming sarongs . By working with Pearl, they really get the girls to look like real beauties. Harold finds that the natives are already pretty good at resting so he ju3t shows them a few new techniques. Finally, the party prepares to sail home. All agreed that they had enjoyed the expedition as they went back to their respec- tive occupations. ----Rosemary A. Gerlach
