TAHE IIQITVTADERT Class Prophecy IN the year 195 0, all the world was in a stir. The magazines and newspapers were full of the marvelous reports of the great expeclif tion to Mars. It had been many weeks since the highfwinged air' ship Auburn had left the city of that name. The scientists were so interested that a constant watch upon its movements was main' tained through the great twentieth century telescope. That the explorers had reached the moon was a certainty, and now it was reported that they were returning. The names of the two promoters of the wild scheme had become so prominent that even the new fads honored them by adopting their names. It chanced that two bachelor maids sat in their upftofdate apartments on a lovely spring morning, and looked out upon the busy world. The air traffic was especially heavy this morning. Above the crowded city flew airships of many descriptions and sizes, some carrying express, some livestock, and others passengers, from city to city, from state to state, and from country to country. Above the din of the multitude, just below the window, a newsboy's shrill cry was heard, and in a few minutes robot, the mechanical man, entered with the Globe Republican. The ladies took the paper and together eagerly sought the latest news of the airship travelers. The first thing that greeted their eyes was the glaring head' lines, Caldwell and Durbin within 50,000 miles of the Earth. Their ship had been sighted and, in all probability, they would be seen on earth again. The ladies were particularly interested in the two men, for they had been classmates of theirs and, for several years, residents of the same city. Perhaps it would be well to say that one of these ladies had become a literary devotee and the other had become a painter of great renown. These ladies were respectively by name-Lou Ella Lee and Thelma Hill. While they sat talking, the robot reappeared with three cards which read: Miss Isabel Bodine, Miss Helen Arnold, and Miss U53

THEINVADER Dilys Davies. They were very pleased and surprised to hear from these noted musicians and they heartily welcomed them. These three visitors, it appeared, were traveling with a highfclass opera company, and being in Auburn for a little while, they had looked up some of their old classmates. Naturally their thoughts turned back to their school days to' gether in the Auburn High School. Chl said Miss Davies, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a class reunion? Yes, indeed, the other four said in unison. With the rapid transportation of today, l think we could manage one, said Miss Bodine. Before the visitors had left, it was decided that as soon as the explorers returned the reunion of the Class of 1929 would be held in the Auburn Club House. if Sl! lk Ik Sk Seven weeks later, on the morning of June sixth, the sun shone warm in the clear blue sky. It was the day for the reunion of the Class of 1929, and the occasion would bring together some of the most noted and brilliant personages of the United States. , Early in the evening the guests began to arrive, and as they entered the club house which was brilliantly lighted and beautif fully decorated in the old class colors, crimson and gray, their names were announced after the old Eastern style. Among the first to arrive were Dr. and Mrs. Fred Hughes of Los Angeles, California. Mrs. Hughes was easily recognized by her classmates as the former Margaret Goodman. Mary Soderquist, Dorothy Wickham and Freda Freeman were easily recognized and joyously greeted. They had all married well, the first a professor, the second a banker, and the third the gov' ernor of the state of Massachusetts.
