27 THE RED and BLACK CLASS PROPHECY It was a beautiful day in June, 1938, just the time one dreaming of the days when one was a Senior at hating the place on such a day and planning a means least one afternoon. As I passed the Post-Star oflice, me but its worthy editor, Marquis Cleghorn! Are you going to the class reunion next week ? I nodded my head he invited me into his office. of year that sets old G. F. High, of escape for at who should hail he asked, and as You know I was appointed chairman of the reunion committee as it was easier for me to keep in touch with our old classmates. Iim very much afraid the reunion will have to be postponed-so many are away and unable to come. Look here! This is a cablegram I received this morning from Ilink Holland. I took the paper which he handed me and read, Cannot possibly be with you for reunion. Have six safes full of money not yet counted. Laura Abrahams and lilizabeth Gwinup unable to come also. Tem- porarily embarrassed Fmanciallyf' It was headed Monte Carlo, and then I remembered that Orville had accepted the position of money counter at the famous resort. While I had been reading, Marquis had, in his usual swift way, snatched the telephone receiver from the hook before the bell stopped ringing. Post-Star editorwyes. Good morning, Pierpont, you up so soon? How is the head of the Dancing Academy this morning? You can't be at the reunion? Oh, I see, your wife remembers those good looking girls of '23. He hung up briskly, at the same time shoving across the desk a pile of telegrams and letters. I took up a letter at random. In the upper corner of the envelope was printed-Queensbury Spinster Institution. The communication proved to be from the matron, Orpha Spicer, who would be unable to come because of the illness of their janitor, Francis Forbes. He was at the point of death, his sickness due, the doctors thought, to an overstrained heart. A brightly colored post card caught my eye. It was mailed fiolll liutte, Montana. Dear Marquis, I read, here we are out in Montana, having bummed all the way. XVe are at .Iohn VVeightman's ranch, which, as you know, is the most prosperous one in the state. Next week we start for a skiing trip in Alaska. This was signed by Helen Van Ess and Louise Barber.
