.Q 13 '! f 31 b-'xi'-lx L l'lll 1,, lf, and scholastic stars appear one by one before our eyes. Remember our fresh- man assembly teacher, Mr. Young? Watch how he dominates the athletes! Paul, there are our class oiiicers: Harold Lee, president: Ruth Larimore, vice- president: and Paul Conaway, secretary-treasurer. Didn't they conduct our class party well? i H1928-full-fledged sophomores! Our athletes once more, this time more prominent! This year was not very interesting, so let's look rapidly through it. Bill, there's good old Frolic College , presided over by Joe Clark. John Phillips, and Paul Conaway. And there we sit laboring over exams. Don't it seem funny how we toiled over such small matters? Paul-now look-1929 and we are juniors! Isn't this a promising class of young people? See right before our eyes comes the vision of exams again, then the gay relief of our class party with its humorous court trial, and the junior-senior banquet. when we paid our respects to the seniors. This last event shows the influence of Robert Wiseman's sterling leadership, with the able assistance of John Phillips and Mary Kirsch. And now look! The disk pictures our class in its true light-the best ever! Aren't we the dignified, lofty seniors here? What a hearty bunch of lettermen-Barnes. Blankenship, Conley, Duncan, Edinger, Fisher, Hughes, Hummell, Lee, Miller, Noth, O'Donnell, Phillips, and Wiseman-are going to their banquet! There is our last exam being disposed of. and weren't we glad of that? See our inter-planetary class party being guided by John Phil- lips, Joe Clark, and Marian Orr! And last of our social events-the junior- senior banquet-when we were treated regally by our congenial hosts, the juniors! Look our machine is running low but nevertheless I can see June 2, 1931 pictured as the most memorable day. Look how nervous we were as we waited for our diplomas. But now that's fading out. Well, Paul, that idea of yours of recalling those days, is the best that ever has come out of your old gray head in many a day. Drop in again soon. Evenings are sometimes lonesome now.

What a wonderful age in which we are now living. Paul. What with our electro-synchronizers. which have revolutionized entire lives. and our newly developed time machine which reveals the future or retells the past, we may. in a true sense, see ourselves as we were years ago. Speaking of 'years ago'. aren't the good old high school days ever recalled in your mind? Would that I were again that 'dashing Romeo', as we used to say back in those days. That's an idea! What is our time machine for, if not for recalling the past? I-low would you like to see yourself going to school again? That would be fine! Let's set it for the year 1927 when we first en- tered high school. All right. just as soon as we get the disk in tune with the scanning ray we shall be visible right before our eyes. Ah! What is that impressive stone building glaring out at us? Why. of course fhat's the old High School standing as she stood for many years. And that green mass of-pardon me, Paul. that is our group of one hundred thirty-five freshmen waiting to be photographed. See, our athletic, musical, page twenty-three

This edict was issued by the 'Exalted Four', so we must all leave before 1943. We have two years to build our ship, though, and I have all the plans made. for I've known this for weeks. But where shall we go? If this entire world is to be blasted just to determine its contents, where can we go? You've forgotten the prestige of the Phillips name in this system, Mar- ian: and anyway, I've decided on Pluto, for it has such wonderful caverns and such a wealth of material. I'm building my ship to contain one hundred and eighteen people other than ourselves, and I have already issued the in- vitationsf' Whom have you invited? You have no living relatives, and mine are all on Venus or Mars. Do you remember the gang we graduated with in Chillicothe, Ohio, ten years ago? I was president of that class, and you were the secretary-treasurer. Now we own this Universal News Corporation. together. I've invited all of our old classmates and they will be here the day we start on our journey. Two years passed swiftly by, and the day of departure finally dawned- John-someone is calling you on the television. Oh, it's Joe Clark, What does he want? He's asking if he may bring the instruments of his orchestra. He has a wonderful group of players, Bill Harris, Ray Johnson, Robert Duncan and Paul Conaway, with their wives Mary K. Duncan and Ruth L. Conaway, and Dorothy Reis. There come six women, John: Virginia Page, Jean Ewing. Dorothy Baird, Lucille McNeal, Elizabeth Diehl and Eleanor West, six of the greatest teachers of the Western Hemisphere Institution. Marian, here comes Professor Anna L. Medert, instructor on intellect at Stanford: and there are Helen Bock, Charlotte Deininger, Eleanor Stevenson, Madge McGee and Ruth Batteiger. nurses in the community hospital. This looks like a delegation of sunday school teachers. Here are Ruth Coppel, Freda Griesheimer, Velma Huff, Mary Grady and Margaret McLaugh- lin. They are representatives in the lower house of Congress under the 'Exalted Four'. Here come the 'Exalted Four' themselves, rulers over the entire planet: none other than Simon Jones, Claude Vester, Donald McCarty and Robert Wiseman. And see! The great scientist, Harold Lee, discoverer of razon and his followers Wilsqn Ludwig, Thomas Hughes, Harold Thatcher and Donald Wharton. Think of all the business women present: Juanita Jones, Maude Manker, Adine Maag, and Helen Tomastik, all ready for business. And an undertaker, too: Bill Grohe in person. with his associates in business, Belle Elkins, Annabel Dumm, and Katherine Martin. You've kept good track of them, John.
