After the interview I visited the high school to lind that Ilertha llietniore was principal. Un her faculty were Neva Spangler, Ilelen Moog, and :Xrtis Sever- enee teaching Mechanics, Agriculture, and gym respectively. tif course l couldn't leave Earth without visiting llollywood. Upon landing there I received another shock. 'I'here at the airport I found the famous detective I. C. All ! I !! So perfect was his disguise that he had to tell me that he was the former Nelson Iloylan. Mr. I. C. All was then trailing lioh Mitchell and l,aX'on l'aslc who were wanted for swindling--grades from profs at college. Iirom the airport I went directly to the lltrownl tltrundishl Ill ishopl stu- dios. 'l'heir make-up experts were llelen l Iiillips and Sarah Ann Charles. XX'hile in llollywood I went to a lirst night of one of ll. tl. ll.'s latest pictures. XYit'hout il doulit, the new Romeo of the screen, Ilola Phillips, had taken XYaruer llaxter's place in the heart of the puhlic. ttlf course this necessitated his growing a inonstachel. In the news reel with that picture I recognized many old class- mates. 'I'lte following people made news: Nliriam Carviu and Ilazel tluillaunie were the only surviving sword-sivallowers. t'llhey got their experience during tlzeir school days swallowing the daggers from the teachers' eyesl. lllartha Murray was successfully operating an oxygen store on the moon. 'l'heron Iletts, Ilernard Iflollman and lioli Iveinard had just returned from explor' ing Planet. 'l'he brave missionaries to l'luto, Carolyn Pinlcerton, .flnnahelle Reich- nian, and Evelyn Rutledge, were feared to lie in great danger. Doris Elser and Edna Mae Flightner were husy up in Iceland teaching' the Eslcinios ltow to make those appetizing Frozen lliinplez-L. 'llhen came the most entertaining vaudeville. A dance team tfar excelling As! taire and Rogers of 'gol consisted of 'I'helma Missler and Richard Mattox. Ralph llarnes made the famous 'Ruhinolli sound like a lmarn dance tiddler, when he play, ed the familiar Goose in the Hay. 'I'he last numlmer was Norman Ilunnnon's troupe of lflawaiian dancers famous for a hotter hula-hula. llut the girls really weren't l-lawaiians .l..,. they were Iris Nichols, Helen llrannon, Dorothy Slusser and Betty Siders. lly that time I realized that all who graduated with me in logo had lit-come famous. lust imagine my eniharrassmentI I hid my face in lunniliation and dashed for my Super Rocket Space Zephyr and returned plus vite si possible to little old-fashioned Yenus, ,lust imagine Il III

It was pleasant to learn that prosperity had returned to the LI. S. in such an abundance that bread lines had been eliminated-they were called Steak Lines instead. I investigated them and found some old friends from llryan. There was Eula Caswell, a disabled hairdresser who had sprained a ligament in her second linger while setting a wave. The Lord brothers were there too. It seemed that they had been substituting tby means of a ropej for the Siamese twins, but they had mislaid the rope. I found also Yvonne Yollmer and Eugenia Elder, who had been vigorous participants in chewing gum contests. Unfortunately, they had broken their jaws and were going around with pretty long faces. There was 'Fed Lawrence in the line, bemoaning the fact that he had spent his fortune riding back and forth from earth to Mars on a passenger Rocket Ship of which gl une Calvin was stewardess. In Xliashington D. C.. Ilryan was represented in Congress by john Salsbury who was one of the few Congressmen in favor of the return of the 18th Amend- ment. 'lihe renowned evangelist. ,I ack Fox, was in XYashington that week too. At the patent oflice, I found Donna Schartzer. She was getting a patent on her latest invention-a little device for girls to wear on their shoes when out witli the boy- friend. When he niisbehaves, the invention enables the girl to kick his shins so hard that he thinks he is wearing wood-peckers for garters. Donna also told me about Arnold Mignery who was playing a tuba down in Cuba. He was in a pitiful condition-completely deaf from thc racket lie made. Another inventor, 'lied Gleason, had concocted a liquid which made whiskers curl so tightly that they pinched themselves off! Then I went straight las the Zephr rliesl to Ilryan. 'llhe lirst thing I noticed was the new ninety-seven story court house, on the top of which Maurice Shank- ster was reviving the old art of Ilag-pole sitting. I wanted to inquire about all my old classmates and decided that the most reliable information would come from th.- Klayor, I entered his office and needed no introduction to his Honor, Dick XX'es- terman. He said that Mildred Robb and Mary Evelyn Xtilley were publishing pamph- lets on Should I Let My Child Illay XYith Robots ? .,........ Dick Sprow and Nor- man Clock were planning to bridge the fXtla1itic ,.,....... George Clebhard was a well- known philanthropist raising slow-footed rabbits to compensate disappointed fel- low hunters .......... Albert Ho'I'fman was a chemist deeply engaged in finding a way to get revenge on all who were in his chemistry lab class in high school ,......... llob llaker was devoting his life to changing the name of the Iilbert tllhilbertj ......... . Helen Harman had worn herself to a shadow doing rrsearch work in quest of a fattener ,,,,,,,,,, Gayle Johnston and Iiob Kerr were running a brewery but weren'l satislied. They said life was all wet .,....,... Oscar Henry ta greenliouse mauagerl was linally victorious in a drive to prohibit trucks on the highways .......... Mary Kerr and Evelyn lllosser were typists for th: lirm 'I'honias and Eager, manufacturers of tireless tires. Do vou know what Mable Ilatterson and Louise Miller are doing? I meekly inquired of the Ilonorable Mayor. Uh, yes, he replied, IIryan is very proud of them. They are the world's most famous women athletes and are now specializing in pole-vaulting. llut the story of Teddy Spangler's career really is sad. lfle was a victim of a case of hero worship and he followed Hal Leroy to southern Africa. Now they are both cap- tives. forced to work twenty-four hours a day 'tapping' on tom-toms for the native chief's entertainment.
