It is after our graduation service. We are having a party to test Buddy Ross Priebe's newest invention, A Time Machine . Come along, I'll take you into the room where it is set up. They are nearly ready to make the first try to contact the future. If it is successful we shall see what the members of our class will be doing in 1965, seventeen years from now. Here is the room. Come on in. See! all the class is gathering around the machine, a large square wine colored box. That cracking noise means the machine is Warming up. Look! the blur on the machine's screen is taking form. The machine is a success. It is working! The blur on the screen becomes the fact of Barbara Ann Barth. At 35 she is happily married. Before her marriage, she did work in the field of Occupational Therapy. The next image to appear is Virginia Anderson. She is an actress, specializing in heavy drama. Now the image of Donna Herington flashed on the screen. She is engaged in radio work. She sings, plays the piano, and acts. Ella Leslie is next. After nursing and special scientific research training, she is now devoting her time to discovering a cure for cancer. Jean Franks also went to nurses training but she got too many proposals to be a nurse long. She is now very happily married to the next image on the screen-which is Raymond Rose, renowned architect. He designed and supervised the building of the great bridge over the Mississippi River from Canton to East Canton. That's Betty Zahn on the screen now. After a few years of voice study, she became a popular singer like Jo Stafford in 1948. On the screen now is the face of Dorothy Howard. After beautician school, she went to Hollywood as an assistant to Percy West- more. After a few years of this work, she came back to Canton to marry her old flame, Jimmy Higbee. Hmmm. What's this? A hospital? ..Oh, yes. It is a beautiful hospital located in Canton and the famous head of this institution is none other than Elwood Hawkins. After completing medical school, he built this hospital in Canton which is a great service to the community. A Ray Giles is next on the screen, experienced chemist and budding young artist. He specializes in contemporary art. Next is Lowell English. He is the head of the big sales office here in Canton from which all his salesmen are dispatched. He has come a long way from a brush salesman. Two images are on the screen this time. Donald McCutchan and Carl Wayne Baker, partners in farming. They grow acres of vegetables for marketing in Canton and East Canton.

Now flashing on the screen is Martin Lawrence Schafer Cbarry Schafer to youl. After pharmacist school, he started what is now a thriving business. Photography is still his hobby. Sara B. Emry went to business college. She became a secretary to the head of one of our new factories. She is now married and is doing a nice job bossing the boss. Thelma Jenkins was the only home girl in the class. She was married soon after gradu- ation. She has a set of twin boys who are freshmen now, On the screen now is what appears to be a baseball game. How did that get in here? Wait! That voice! It's Philo Irven's. He's a great sports announcer, a second Bill Stern. We're very proud of Ethel Price. She is a missionary doing work abroad and we hear that she is now in Africa. Bill Weyant is doing stage and radio work as an impersonator. He is slowly but surely crowding out Bob Hope. Leland Dochterman is next. He is a second Burl Ives, singing in radio in the winter and gentleman farming near Canton in the summer. Next on the screen is Earle Munns. Earle went on a vacation in Nevada and bought a small piece of land there. Gold was discovered on it. Now he is a millionaire and is sailing around the world on his yacht, The Gold Mine . John Hachtel is an assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture. He devotes much of his time to 4-H work. The last image on the screen is that of myself, Betty Curtis. After journalism training in college, a few years of flying as Air Hostess, I am now writing a novel destined to contain 1500 pages. As a hobby, my' husband and I fly in our little cufb plane. Look! That sign on the screen, it said simply Canton , Oh, I bet we are going to see Canton 17 years from now. Look at those neat rows of cute' tourist cabins. That part of Canton is now a winter playground. There's the new high school building across from the old building. It has a huge gym. Near the river is a large factory district about 2M miles south of our old river front. I don't see any slums. The factory workers live in pretty white bungalows. A new bridge Cthis is the bridge that R. Rose builtj crosses the river to Illinois and to a town called East Canton, really a part of Canton. In the middle of the town is a large well-equipped playground which was built and. equipped the same year that we graduated. Remember the different things put on to raise money for it. Oh, dear, the images are beginning to blur. LOOK! a flash of light, a puff of flame and the machine melts. Poor Buddy.
