took me on a tour of the campus. While on this tour two boys ran past us going at an in- credible speed. Betty explained that the boys were brothers and the stars of the track team. The two boys were practicing for the Olympic finals. They were the sons of a classmate formerly known as Rita Kay Koch. Arriving at what semed at first the pentagon my presence was announced to Mrs. Wissel by a robot butler. Mrs. Wissel introduced me to a very charming lady, Mrs. Barbara Kelley Cal- houn. She was wearing a beautiful creation called moonlust.” This was made from cheese- cloth and moonbeams. The entertainers for the evening were Mary Beth Kuiken and Le Etta Crow. Mary Beth, who had received the dancing award would do her award winning dance. Since Le Etta had won the academy award for the outstanding actress of the decade she was asked to give excerpts from her prize winning play. While at the reunion, I met Bob Pfingston. Bob was a forest ranger. He told me that the rangers had built him a look-out house, but they found that Bob was taller than the house, so they had to tear it down. I also spoke to George Holter. 1 found that he was building a bridge 10 miles long across Sand Creek at Chivington. James Morton and Raymond Mays had made the plans for this bridge and had decided to name it, The Bridge of Opportunity. They named it this because it gave you an opportunity to choose betwen going across it or wading the Creek to get to the other side. Don Root brought his arrowhead collection to exhibit after supper. Mr. Root had made over $15,000,000 from these old Indian relics. He wore a very stunning tie clasp and cuff link set which was made of diamond-studded buffalo bones. Stanley Watts was present also. He told us that he had just barely made it because he had just shipped 500 horses to Chicago. These horses were different because they were equipped with gold-plated shoes. Mr. Watts was adorned with a gold horseshoe which hung around his neck. He had silver plated spurs which jingled Auld Lang Syne when he walked. Mrs. Kay Womack Brown told me that they had just remodeled their fifteen room ranch style house and hired two more Jupiter maids. Kay showed me the pictures of her six sons «'ho were very handsome. They had their father's dark looks but I could tell by their smiles that they had Kay's wonderful personality. When the evening drew to a close, everyone gave their good-byes and left. The time for which I had set the machine had come to an end. Things seemed to fade out and I stepped from the time machine. My trip was over. Sponsored by V N CAFE AND BENTLEY JEWELERS

When I arrived at Eads, I found it even bigger than New York. About a block from the air- port I saw a building with a sign on the front of it which read, E. Buck Business Enter- prises.” I took a chance on the idea that it was someone I knew and walked into the lobby. I inquired about seeing Mr. Buck and was told that he had no extra time for visitors. They told me that it was Elvin Buck, a former classmate. Elvin was business manager of Eads. While I was standing in front of Mr. Buck's establishment, there was a tremendous uproar, and I quickly pushed my way to the curb where I saw a rider gallop down the street on a black and white striped stallion. Following close behind was a sly looking plaindothesman. When all the commotion was quieted, I found that Frank Moltane was being chased by Larry Welsh, commonly known as Lonesome Larry.” Frank had exceeded the speed limit of 150 mph. This was possible because he had fed his horse Jet Propelled Oats, shot through and through with sugar frosted hay seeds. While strolling along the avenue, 1 bumped into a very handsome man. I took another look and saw that it was Curtis Gold. He said that he would like to visit a while but that another oil gusher had just come in and he had to leave to mark it down. He told me he was making around” two thousand dollars an hour and it kept him busy marking down the new oil wells coming in. Mr. Gold was dressed in a tailored suit made of white wool with tiny smudges of oil on it which gave it just the right touch. All of a sudden, I heard a loud voice which sounded very much like Wallace Dunlap's. I overheard someone say that Wallace was running for governor of Eads. I knew he was busy so I just waved and walked on. I caught a taxi and as I was riding down 5th Avenue, 1 commented on how smooth the roads were, which was very unusual for Eads. The taxi driver told me that Mr. LeRoy Homan, Jr. was Director of the Highway Department. That explained to me, why the roads were so smooth, Mr. Homan had been a member of the Senior Class of '56. After getting out of the taxi, I almost ran into two nurses who were dressed in pink and black uniforms. After giving my apologies, I realized that they were Nora Meier and Ramona Barnes. They both had large six inch buttons on their collars. Nora’s said, SUPERIN- TENDENT and Ramona’s said, DIRECTOR.” They were employed at the new 127,935 room Weisbrod Memorial Hospital. Having talked to various classmates I was told that I was invited to a reunion of the class of '56. It was to be held at the home of Mrs. Shirley Bickel Wissel. I stopped in at Madam Buches, formerly Marie Sarah, Beauty Salon to receive one of the latest hair styles. The hair style I received was a modern version of the pony tail. Instead of being at the back, it was centered on the top and stood in the air. The rest of the hair fell loosely down over the head giving the impression of a beautiful fountain. My next stop was at the world renowned Eads University. Famous for its outstanding aca- demic training. I met the president of the university who was a former classmate, Betty Harri- son. She introduced me to the teachers, one of which was Miss Durrett. It was plain to see why Miss Durrett had been elected Queen of the Campus by unanimous vote.
