It was in the year 1945 that I was sitting by the fire, idly turn- ing the pages of a magazine which I had just purchased, when sud- denly my eye caught the announcement: Professors Lutschg and Watson invent wonderful wireless telescope and telephone combined, the rays of M ' hieh may be projected to any part of the globe. I was greatly pleased at the success of my former schoolmates, and the next morning I hastened to their laboratories to congratulate them. They were greatly elated over their discovery, and Watson asked if I would like to have the honor of being the first outsider to see the wonders their telescope revealed. I assented eagerly, and he led me to an adjoining room, where the instrument had been in- stalled. He motioned me to a chair in front of what was apparently a panel of frosted glass. Before this stood a cabinet, which contained numerous levers, switches, and dials. Watson seated himself before this cabinet, and turning to me, he asked, Is there anybody in particular whom you would like to see? Yes, I replied, excitedly, I should like to see what all of my former classmates are doing. He turned to the cabinet and pulled one of the levers. The room grew dark, and I sat breathless on the edge of my chair. A faint light appeared behind the glass panel. It grew steadily brighter, and presently there appeared upon the screen a scene on a busy down- town corner in New York. The traffic officer in the middle of the street was Ed Daly, who was just then trying to halt an automobile bearing the sign: VOTE FOR KNIGHT FOR MAYOR. On the corner was a millinery shop with a sign bearing the names of Eva Madsen and Susan Walker. The next scene was an assembly in the F. U. H. S. auditorium. Music instructor Wildermuth was teaching the student body a new song, with Eugenia Banks successfully holding down Miss Shep- ardson ' s place at the piano. Presently Principal Corcoran arose to present the speaker of the day, Myron West, the ex-Governor of Cal- ifornia. Then the scene commenced to shift rapidly from place to place. We passed from the home of Nathan Morse, the oil king, to George Meiser ' s ranch, then to the Elder Hotel, a popular beach resort, where Lucy Kraemer, Nita Krohn, Edith Burnett, and Florence Durkee were taking a vacation from their business in Los Angeles. In the court at Santa Ana, Harold Stabler was being tried by Judge Dressel for speeding. The scene again changed to a busy downtown street, where from the point of vantage of a soap box Harry Shipkey Avas addressing a twenty-nine
