CLASS PR OPHECY After long years of hard research and days and nightseyea, months and years-of toil, Professor Bernard Marquis, eminent scientist and president of Class 1926 of the Central City High School, straightened up and gazed with a satisfied smile at the instrument that he had at last per- fected. There it lay, a complicated machine of many wires, tubes and shiny surfaces, with polished lenses, delicate set-screws, and bearings so perfectly fitted that they would generate hardly any heat through friction. It was a wonder-telescope, so delicate that when the operator thought of any certain person, anywhere on earth, the thought-waves would focus the telescope upon that person. The Professor stepped to the door and called, and almost immediately was joined by Ted Moore, his partner in all his scientific ventures. To-

Raymond Ashelford first came to their minds, and the telescope focused upon the huge irrigation lake in the Platte River, which Doc had built,..and showed. iiDoc out in the middle of it 011 a small artificial island, shooting ducks for supper. They-found Paul Ibson and Leonard Kyes, also Mrs. Kyes, nee'Hazel Gantz, in a large, busybuilding in Central City, making radios and selling them at the late of sever al carleads a day. The quality of the Ibson-Kyes machine had practically done away with competition. Olan Wilson and his talented wife, the daughter of Mr. P. A. Duffy, of Centr a1 City, were just returning from a concert tour ar ound the 1'.v011d Maiie Guild, the famous soprano, had been with them, but, while in Paris, was stricken speechless by sight of the Eiffel To1've1, and is still in F1 ance looking for her voice. The telescope next focused upon- a camp in the interior of South America. Leon Woods, Chester Thomas, Clifford Currey and- Loren Bellin were sitting around the fire, planning the next step in their task of building highways and 1'ai11' oads acr oss the continent, ther eby opening up the country for development. George Melgan and Ar thur Funk were found by the telescope while pounding their typewriters desperately in the finals of the tournament for the world,s typing championship. Dave Mathieson and Don Kyes were fairly coining money posing for iibefore and iiafter taking pictures to advertise patent medicines and physical culture methods. . Roy Messersmith and Edwin Falnham were discover ed in the act of building fences on their huge ianch in the Argentine. Helen Boelts was busy at work in the laboratory of the General Electric Company, of which company Helen is Chief Engineer. . The next change brought tears to the eyes of Professor Marquis and the distinguished Mr. Moore, for they were looking at a headstone in a large, well-kept cemetery. Upon the headstone they read Mark Parker. Born January 18, 1908. Died while making a batch of fiashlight powder, January 28, 1938. Poor Mark! Gertrude Hoagland was busy at work 011 her latest painting when i caught by the telescope. She was in a richly furnished studio, which bore testimony to the success she had won. 'John Riddlemoser was discovered in Ward No. 13 of New York,s Emergency Hospital, recovering from the injuries he had received when he absent-mindedly stepped into the elevator shaft at .the-forty-third fioor. Ralph Edger and his wife, whom the Professor and his partner recog- nized as 10121 Thomas, were seen busy keeping their cook, their six maids, their butler, their four cats and their Airedale-at work.
