Using instance class superclass , of course! Every class can answer its (unique) superclass.

However, note that you have several capitalization mistakes that are not innocent. In Smalltalk, capitalization rules are meaningful, beyond case-sensitivity.

Also, it is uncommon to cross the instance-class level to query something like this. Usually, only meta-programming tools (debuggers, inspectors) have questions like this.
