had already made his first million and was well started on his sec- ond. Silence fell as Monsieur Claude prepared to speak. First, I want to thanlt you for asking me here, stated Claude. Then, I want to make apologies for your and my dear friend, Gary Hurley, for not being here with us today. Ever since Gary took Jerry Lewis' place in the movies, television and on the stage, he has become a very popular comedian. He is now making a command performance before the King and Queen of Mars. Someone's coming down the midway was causing quite a commotion. It looked as if the people were trying to get someone's autograph. Having moved closer, we could see what was going on. The people were admiring two famous authors, Bettie Corcoran and Freda La- Point. They had just written the novel, Life Upon a Meteor , which became a sensation overnight. As we turned from those two great authors, we looked toward the left of the grandstand, and there we saw two nice looking ladies conversing. When we stole a closer look, we saw that one was dressed in a hunter's garb. She was no other than LorrAine Fisher, the famous woman hunter. Everyone most likely had heard about her, for the newspapers had been screaming her hame for weeks. Lorraine was the one who discovered the Ranosaur in the jungles Saturn. The Ranosaur is the descendent of the dinosaur and ten times as dangerous, but nevertheless Miss Fisher brought one of these specimens back to Earth. The striking young woman to whom Lorraine was talking is the new president of Venus, Bernice Shea. As you know, the planet Venus picks out its president by her looks and intelligence, and, believe me, Bernice had no trouble getting the presidency, since she excelled in both qualities. By reports from Venus, Miss Shea seemed to be doing a good job of running the Planet. At this point, someone walked toward the two famous ladies,— none other than the head of the Farmers' Association, Joe Thomas. Joe received this position when he invented the mechanical farmer Joe believed and proved that with this mechanical man the farmers could take life easy, for the mechanical farmer did all the chores on a farm, in no time flat. Imagine how the farmers appreciated this J Finally the whole class of 1952 began going on the grandstand, and their advisor, r. Butler, prepared to say somthing. This is his speech as it was recorded that day: My friends, I am proud to be here with my old class of '52. After twenty years you have all become famous people, just as I knew you would, because you showed promise of this while you were in High School. You all had a great deal of initiative. Now that we are parting once more, I have only one statement to give you. I am sure that the members of this class will carry on the good work they have started. With the roar of the enthusiastic applause in our ears, we left the class of '52 for another twenty years.

CLASS PROPHECY OUT OP THIS WORLD WITH THE CLASS OP '52 Capt. Creighton of the 'Spinning Rocket' to tower; Capt. Creighton of the 'Spinning Rocket' to tower; come in, please.” Tower to Capt. Creighton; Tower to Capt. Creighton; what is it, sir?” Preparing to land; is the landing field cleared?” Field cleared, sir; land at will. Aa Capt. Creighton set his automatic controls, he settled back in his big, comfortable chair, knowing that the automatic controls would land his ship safely. He was thinking very seriously about what was going to happen to him very soon, for he was on his way to the World's Pair. This was being held at Jones Beach, and he had been asked to come there and give a talk on his newest Rocket Ship. But he was also thinking how strange it seemed that only twenty years ago, he and the rest of the Senior Class of 1952 had gone camping at this same beach after their graduation. My, wouldn't it be wonderful, he thought, if he could see some of his old classmates here at the Pair. This was all very probable, for he had learned that many of his classmates had become very famous in these last years. Why, just the other day he had heard over his wrist radio that the world famous engineer. Bill Schwartz, had finally drawn up plans for a bridge to cross the Pacific Ocean; this would really help the transportation problem. Of course,the whole world knew of the new president of the United States, Jack Creighton; when Edward thought of this, he chuckled and said to himself, Jack was bound to get it; he knew his Social Studies backward and forward, and to think of how the rest of us used to struggle and suffer through that course. Edward was quickly aroused from his thoughts by a sudden jolt, telling him that his ship had landed. As he left his ship, he noticed a man walking toward him. This, he told himself, must be the new ambassador to the world, for this man had been appointed Master of Ceremonies to the World's Fair. As the man drew near, Edward suddenly stopped in his tracks, for coming to meet him was none other than % . Butler, the Senior Class advisor of twenty years ago. Mr, but he looked goodj He still had that familiar friend- ly smile. While all this was taking place at the air field, a new superduper rocket car was jetting its way toward Jones' Beach. When we looked closer, we noticed that it had a military escort; why, then, this could be no other than the general- in-chief of all space cadets, Lloyd Strobeck, just returning from an extraordinary victory over the pest-ridden planet, Jupiter. It looked as if the General had an occupant in his car. But, of course, we should have known at first who it was, for who else would be riding with the General but that famous woman, Pat O'Donnell, who is in charge of all space cadettes. Of course, it is well known that she and her space cadettes put the planet, Pluto, out of the atmo- sphere, when it started to wage war against Earth. As we turned back to the grandstand, we noticed a large crowd. It seemed that another celebrity was arriving at the World's Pair. Having moved closer we saw that it was the famous actor. Monsieur Claude Cary. It was said that Claude Cary.
