In stentorian tones, lie then called, Veterans, arise —and the uprising was nearly unanimous. Then the orator sat down amidst a burst of applause, led by the vets. At last the party arrived at the Seadrome, and with great clamor, entered. When they were seated at the table, Koliert Powell, radio announcer and acting master of ceremonies, called the anniversary meeting to order. First, we will hear from the gifted lady, Kula l.ec Posted. Ftila Lee rose like Venus from the deep and began to fumble and stumble, and to wring her bands, aying, h, dearie me. I’ve forgotten tny speech, but Pin here; you are here: we arc all here. Pm reminded of all our good times together. Pm reminded of everything except my speech. I remember how we used to forget otir English and History in days of uld Lang Syne Then followed T. and T. (not American Telephone and Telegraph i. hut tears and telegrams—watered stock. At this time, the telegrams were brought in. which the chairman read. One was from Arthur Whittington. Instructor in Mathematics, at the University of Southern California. “I’m very sorry I can’t U- with you tonight, hut I'm in the midst of the 213th page of the Benson-Chasc explanation of the Einsteiii-Steiner Theory and I hate to «top until I finish the other 787 pages. The other from Deward Hogg—“I'm on my way to Germany to encourage a war, as tlie munition sales of the Gerald Collins Company have fallen off a great deal and we must sell munitions. Hitler (by code message) lias agreed to give me a big order. Shall 1 call on Mussolini? Please advise. Then Miss Phyllis Elms, who had l cen making a hit in Oh. la. la. la. la. la. la. la. la.” tried by her niclod and assonance to soothe the horrors of approaching war; but. as she. was singing along on the high she landed with a blimp, whereupon Julia Colley, a famous surgeon, made straight for the President, and told him voice aviation was dangerous. “I'll oar no more.” responded Phyllis, singing in a lower register. While harmony prevailed among the group. Ruth Lewis was called upon for an original poem written especially for the occasion. She l cgan— The President today invited us to the Seadrome Over water and air I've wanted to roam.” ..i, ' ‘ !’• ,ivo | et n rohlnxM interrupted Cook Waldron, the owner of a tire factory. He calm, he calm. said Ernest Kolodner, chief of police, “and my radio detector will catch tile thiet.” Then as if inspired, all the members of the class of January, 1935 shouted: That's what we call co-npcration! (Great applause.) t this opportune moment. Dorothy Guffin and Herman Cobh were to give a scene from 1 he Play of the Near, when a message from Maud Thomas came over the radio, Sorry I can't be with you, hut as a missionary to Martin Johnson's land. I'm afraid mv duty about over. I’m lip a tree—surrounded by cannibals, instead of mv enjoying a dinner with you. I'm afraid the cannibals are going to enjoy me. 1 wish Byron were here to recommend synthetic food—especially concentrated. At this critical juncture.

Suddenly Glenn barlow, a mcml er of the class of January. 193.s was heard i«» inquire, Has anyone here ever tried to employ concentration?” To which Jean Johnson responded, I did once, but I got stuck. Silence! Silence iell on the throng. Then tip jumped Herbert Reynolds, and a voice softer than “the silence of a deep peace ' said. Mr. President. 1 propose a toast to the duckiest banquet I ever attended. Not a soul has finished his part on the program the way wc used to do at Phillips; and the 25-course dinner was as sumptuous and full as the Phillips teachers’ assignments.” Acknowledging the compliments to his Alma Mater, the President rose and said. I wish to thank you for your kind and reminiscing words. They stir us to action. Now we'll tour the Seadrome, after which we'll hoard our plane and return to terra firma; for the land, our native habitat, i the foundation on which stands the best initialed activity—P. II.

CLASS PROPHECY HEN in the course of human events, men become tired of the humdrum of everyday life, they put aside the cares of office and call their friends to a banquet Even the President has this weakness. Early one morning the President of the U. S., Cecil Chilton, had the same bright idea. In the middle of his violin practicing he remtmfared that this was the twenty-fifth anniversary of his graduation from Phillips High. Calling in his secretary. Pansy Addcrhold. he told her that he was to have dinner that night at the Atlantic Seadrome. “Play for me while I prepare my message to l»e sent over the National Public Address System,” he said. So she seated herself at the piano ami rather choppily rendered Chopsticks. Then the President gave this message. Clear all wires, clear all wires. Dinner will l»c given at the Atlantic Seadrome this evening for the members of the January, 1935 graduating class, of which the President was a member. The last transport will leave the Washington airport at 0:00 this evening. Dinner will be served at 6:30. Identification will be made by demerit slips, tardy notices, marshal notices, report cards. C.JXJ.. B.M.. H.S.K.. L.A.C., and high school diplomas. The commander of the army. Harry Burns, happened to be superintending the immediate shooting of six Eskimo spies, who had been caught that morning l»y Margaret Thompson, head of the secret service. (My. hut these redheads get them.I But when this message came to him over the radio, he said. Afaut face, you'll have to postpone this shooting, as I'm going to a dinner this evening and can't lie fathered. While the coach of the Phillips High footfall team. Forrest Rogers, was immensely enjoving the Phillips-Kamsav football game, as the score in the second quarter was 40-0 m favor of Phillips, he heard the message. Turning to Murray Bryant, he said. Carry on. Murray, old hoy, I'm on my way to a dinner in Washington. At the public library, as Martha Bryan was busy placing sound films of important hook rciKirts on the shelves, ami looking at her television set, she saw and heard the President delivering his message; whereupon, she immediately dropped the films and left t join her classmates. At the Washington Air Station the manager. Ellen C olley, was engrossed in a jigsaw puzzle—but at the words. All transport planes fa ready at 6:00 this evening to take the President's classmates of Phillip- to the Atlantic Seadrome ior dinner. she hastily shoved aside her puzzle, pressed every button on her desk and soon had all the officials at the airport before her. She reporter I the message to them; and they left, after assuring her that they would do all they could t«» help. The head traffic cop. Abe Shugerman, im mediately gave the order. Clear all hallwa—. highwa—. skyways. The first arrival that evening was Byron Matthews, president of the Synthetic Food Co. As lie stepped out of his airplane, two ladies rushed up to him. They were Nell McKenzie and alary Frickhocffcr. reporters for the Daily Utah. “Tell us. Mr. Matthews, they said, why you think the Synthetic Food Company has faen so successful in its operations? “Well, he said, in these days of hurry, people don't want to take time to masticate their food. The conversation, however, was not finished a- other graduates had arrived and were noisily entering the plane, while the pilot. Roscoc Harris, was lustily singing. All aboard the plane for the hounding main. After they were seated, the President arose and said. “The great orator. Herman Levine, will address us on the line from Caesar. '1 came. I saw, I conquered.' Mr. Levine arose—mind, countenance, and hair aflame—and said. Dear friends, often it becomes the privilege of a great man to show the application of the words of another great man t«» his own time. 1 shall now demonstrate the -aid lines from Caesar. We came to, approached, drew nigh, arrived, completed, advanced, made an appearance, emanated, sprang, ascertained, underwent, attended, understood, and apprehended our teachers, although they often seemed to think we didn't—and also they perceived us. though dimly—it we judge by our under-
