I fully appreciate my great responsibility and the danger- S ous ground I am about to tread, for Class prophecies are danger- gpx ous propositions. In the past it has been customary for the GQLWWWD Prophet to becom-e hypnotized, by some inexplicable means mes- J 5 . .. - .. . merized, or to succumb to the effects of a highball and pass into a state of hallucination, but to do a class such as that of 1911 justice, one must have full control of those psychic forces so essential to all clairvoyants. In the spring of 1910, Moyer and I'were viewing I-Ialley's comet from the roof-garden of the Bellevue-Stratford. A sudden earthward dip of the hery orb. seen only by those on the roof that night, brought it so close to us that a quick upward reach placed its glistening tail within my grasp and I shot skyward into space at a tremendous rate of sp-eed. Time will not permit an enumeration of my ten years, aerial experiences, but suffice to say that in 1920 a Wfright air car, doing police work above New Zealand, rescued me and I was soon shaking the hand of my old classmate Charlie Ring on the 'lgarden spot of the world. He was not the Ring of old, for Dame Fortune had dealt kindly with him. His nifty little brown mustache, monocle, loud checkered suit, diamond stud, gold-headed cane and English bulldog added to his dignity and impressiveness. The aggressive spirit of Qld Penn, his political ingenuity, and personal influence with the King were cardinal factors in the establishment of a world-famous veterinary college, of which he was the auspicious dean. Through .he inHuence of Dr. Ring I was appointed sole agent for the largest instrument concern in the world, fitted out with an excellent line of samples, and, enscon-ced in the latest model air car, I left the following day for Cuba. The International Tuberculosis Congress was in session at Havana when I arrived, and I was not at all surprised to hnd that the dignihed, intellectual giant who occupied the presidents chair was none other than our old friend Sainz, who by the masterful way in which he handled the Hood of science corroborated the prediction of his classmates that he would at some time startle the world.
