CLASS PROPHESY tBeing an extract from the diary of a one QUITTUIR S-llUYliN.j FQ August 14, 1933. -Homeward bo-und at last. Back to the planet of gravitation and boiled cabbage. How sick and tired I am of Mars and all its mystical monstrosities. I was told that I would enjoy the novelty of a Martian existence, and-well. perhaps some do enjoy it, but my circulation never seemed to readjust itself. Consequently I suffered much inconvenience during the three years I spent there. You who have made this interplanetary journey and have experienced the entire absence of gravitation and other numerous earthly essentials, can realize why I gave up a million dollar position in Mars and made tracks for the little old U.S.A. It is now about 7 l'. M. Standard Solar Time, and our high speed Ether- plane has covered several million kilometers since noon. Mars is fast re- ceding in the distance and already the earth is assuming its continental outlines. These interplanetary journeys have ceased to interest my scientific nature, so I will retire to dream of little old Delphi from which I have been separated for so long. Must not forget to adjust the counter-weights on my revolving berth or I will receive a bad fall when we reach the zone of regravi- tation. August 15. This has been a wonderful day indeed. It makes me feel like a boy again to learn of my old classmates after all these years and-but I am getting ahead of my story. Time hung heavily on my hands this morning, so I amused myself by ex- ploring the depths of an old trunk. which I have been carrying around for years. Imagine my surprise and joy when I came across a copy of the 1920 Q RACLIC. Q boy! During the next few hours I lived over again those good old school days. VX'hile at dinner an idea struck me, the possibilities of which made me wonder why I had never thought of it before. It occurred to me that I would consult the spirit world and find out about my old class- mates. So I hunted up a reliable Medium, who soon connected me with Sol- troso, my patron spirit. After learning of my request he was silent for a few minutes, and then, thru the lips of the Medium, he told me the following: W'illard Cartwright is at present constructing a large shipyard in the central part of the Sahara desert. XVe always thought he had a dry sense of humor. Mary Anderson has returned to Delphi and is making a specialty of sell- ing diamond rings. She says it is a very engaging business. Charles IVood has at last lowered his colors and surrendered to the fair sex, the intended being Miss Teerious of Swampdunkk, Arkansas. Maude Schenck, who for the last ten years has been endeavoring to solve the problem of f'How to be happy tho married, has linally given up the arduous undertaking, and is at present taking a rest cure in a prominent Logansport institution. The debate in Congress over the League of Nations has Hnally come to a close.Congressman Raider, of Indiana, was instrumental in bringing this about. During a heated argument between two other Congressmen, he arose and requested that someone explain what the League of Nations was TXVENTY EIGHT
