Class Prophecy With a low melancholy whistle the lumbering freight rumbled to a grinding halt. The railroad dicks began their routes on. one side of the train as two tall. lean, whiskered men jumped out on the other side and stood gazing at their home town. It had changed. It was no longer a small jerk-water town. It was a city, one of the largest in Montana. Their gaze turned toward the high school and they smiled as they remembered their school days and their graduation in ’39. The sunlight drifted lazily through the large windows in the mayor’s office. The mayor sat with his feet cocked upon his desk, lazily turning the thumb-worn pages of the Wolf of ’39. A rather timid knock summoned him from his reverie. Anna Smith, his secretary, announced the arrival of two untidy gentlemen. As the door slowly opened the mayor rose hastily to his feet and uttered an exclamation of welcome to Lome Berger and John Hartford. To their surprise there stood their old school mate. Freddy Hughes, the mayor of Cut Bank. Well, well, my old school chums ” Freddie said. I have just been thinking about you and the rest of the gang of ’39.” Yes. we have met a few of them in our ramblings around the earth. they said. Sit down, sit down—I'd like to find out how some of them are faring in the world. By the way.

Harold Olen is coaching the other two favorites in Minnesota: his chief threat is Bill Allison and James Kittson. Those boys have stopped the drives of some of the nation's greatest backfield men. You boys will have to drop around for supper tonight and meet my wife, formerly Lena Chasse. which reminds me some of the rest of the girls are doing pretty well for themselves too. Josephine Zuelke is the head stenographer in the new court house. On my last trip to the Orient, guess whom I met—Mary Lawrence, missionary in China. While talking on the subject of missionaries.
