f. XZ f Y.. Class Prophecy Y ,, , Jeannette Hermann f N BY li E- W If i it uw K MMIA NJ, il Now is the time for going forth- Some to the south, some to the north, Some to the east, some to the west. Where e'er it be, may it be the best. Modest though I am, I must admit I have one unusual power, that of a medi- um. Tonight I am seeing St. Albans twenty- five years from now. It is the year 1969 and a beautiful afternoon in October. Everywhere in the city of St. Albans are huge posters reading Old Home VVeek. During the past twenty-five years St. Albans has been industrialized to such an extent that I am thinking perhaps some of my old friends who have been out of the city for a number of years will find many startling changes in our metropolis of about forty thousand people. The territory be- tween the city limits and St. Albans Bay is no longer the peaceful country land it was twenty-five years ago, for there are now new homes, large industries, privately own- ed airports. A new community house, which tops what was once known as Nigger Hill,', was built by Curtis Partlow and Robert Bean for the youth of St. Albans. They have kindly given the use of the auditorium for the old home week entertainment. These two men own so much property that they have to keep a card index in order to know the extent of their possessions themselves. I am scheduled to meet at 4- o'clock many old friends at the city airport, where once Rarker's eat and jive place was located. But on my way I land in my helicopter Hiv- er on the roof top of Arnold Raleigh's thriv- ing plastic industry. There I find Lorraine Richards, Arnold's personal plastic designer. They are arranging for a display of their latest plastic gadgets which I know will fas- cinate all of their old classmates. Bidding Lorraine goodbye until this evening I fly on to the airport. Just as I am about to land, I notice off in the distance a large house-like plane speeding towards the airport. The plane moves closer and I read the words largely printed on the wing, Here We Come St. Albans-The Lucasesf' Landing I rush out to greet them. The doors of the plane are thrown open and out step seven people. First I see Mr. and Mrs. Lucas. VVC greet each other heartily and Richard tells me he has invente in which he and week-end trips to gasoline and two ship lands in the can even land on d this late model airplane Eunice are able to take Europe on one gallon of pints of oil. This house- desert, on the water and a cloud. Eunice explains that she so equipped the plane that she can house ten guests with all the comforts of home. Then I greet Clinton Robinson, Mil- ton MacDonald, Fisher Post, VVinston Pa- quette and a very charming lady Kathlyn Miller. We all began to chatter at once. but first Clinton tells of his experiences. He has just been to Russia via stratosphere ex- press for a two-day trout trip but re- turned to the United States last night so he would be able to come to St. Albans for the gathering of his friends. He is now mar- ried to the daughter of a multi-millionaire. and between trotting the globe, tending his farm and his wife, Clinton is a very busy man. Milton and Fisher do not need to give much explanation of their experiences. They are known nation-wide as they are owners of the famous MacDonald-Post Film Com- pany. This company turns out 365 ten-reel films a year and stages five plays which are shown just off Broadway. In their em- ploy they have many brave heroes and beau- tiful heroines of the world. Their latest film is to be shown as part of the entertain- ment this evening. Milton is rnost enthusi- i141
