SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY. The wonder of the age has happened! The laws of gravity have been defied! Isn’t it glorious to live in this glorious year of 1927! But for the fact that I have the support of Mr. Stargazer, the world-famed astronomer. I should not dare publish to the world the following: But let me start at the beginning; eleven years ago the Senior Class of 1916 agreed to have, in ten years, a reunion. So last year all the members of the class except the writer, who was providentially hindered, met in Galveston. Most of them came in their touring airships, for, as you know, in these modern times, the airship has practically taken the place of the autorgobile, steam-engin and steamship. As Harry George’s airship was the largest, he took his classmates for a spin among the clouds. As every one knows, they were never heard of again. Their former principal, Mr. Fulton, also disappeared on the same day. He was last seen by friends, in his two-passenger Monoplane. I’m now prepared to tell you their fate: A number of us were spending the evening at the lake. We were discussing the strange disappearance of my classmates, when we saw a falling meteor, and heard a dull thud near-by. Upon looking around, we saw a large rock with a metal box fastened to it.

Dear Nina: The Senior Class of 1916 send greetings! No, not from the grave, as earth doubtless thinks, but from another Planet. When we took that fatefid ride in Harry George's airship, he lost control of the engine, and the ship shot upward, at an astonishing rate. The earth looked like a ball. The air became so rare that we had to put up the air-condenser, to be able to breathe. After a time, we became almost stationary, and the airship rocked back and forth as if be-calmed. Evidently we were at the space between two planets where gravitation is neutral. Suddenly we heard a terrible noise and were hurled through space af a terrific speed. We were on the tail of a comet! We must have been whirled through space at this rate for several days. Finally we stopped as suddenly as we had started. We had been dropped upon something solid. We could see in the distance forests and groups of small buildings. Now Harry George’s airship could be converted into an automobile, so we were soon spinning toward the nearest village. Some strange looking people came to meet us, with eyes and mouth open. Finally by signs, 30
