The ROCKET 1928 Senior Class Prophecy The train was crowded and as I looked about for a seat, I found only one vacant. No, it too was partly occupied. But I sat down and found my neighbor to be a tall, well dressed and distinguished looking man of about middle age. We rode for a time in silence, but later became engaged in an impersonal conversation. I was impressed with the scholarly appearance of my friend and wondered what his interests were. I soon learned that he was editor of a large newspaper in the middle west. As 1 seemed interested in his work, he produced a paper from his pocket and exhibited it. The name of the paper at once arrested by attention, for it was the Green Mountain Examiner . As I had been a resident of the town myself in former years, I could not forbear asking about it. It has grown to be quite a flourishing little city of the middle west, said my companion. Is it possible. I returned. Why. 1 remember it had only two stores, a post office, a bank, a church, two garages and a town pump. Oh, yes, and a schoolhouse. 1 remember the schoolhouse very well. In fact it was my Alma Mater. That schoolhouse, the man replied, has become quite famous in its way, for it has sent forth many shining lights into the world of aftairs. Wait! I ' ll show you what I mean. He referred again to the newspaper already mentioned, where he showed me this item: Kenneth Lynk, formerly of this locality, now world famous aviator, is now making preparation for his fifty-seventh long distance flight. Mr. Lynk has made all his previous flights without serious mishap, and is now in the employ of the Inter-National Governments Air Service. He has done much for the interests of aviation both here and abroad. Not surprising, thought 1. Ken always was one to fly high. As I was about to return the paper, I caught another name that seemed familiar. Look- ing closely I saw that it was, indeed, the same. The item followed: The success of the well known exangelist, Franklin Wheeler, bids fan- to outclass that of Billy Sunday in its breadth and scope. Evangelist Wheeler will be in this and other mid-western cities this summer, conducting his great tabernacle meetings and drawing immense crowds by his unique oratory. He will be accompanied by the famous evangelistic singer, who will be remem- bered in our city as Miss Yelma Miller. Miss Miller has recently completed her six years of musical study in Italy, and gave numerous concerts in Western and Central Europe. Your paper interests me, 1 said, May I keep it a few moments longer ? ' Turning a page I come upon this: Robert Hilsabeck. Iowa scientist, in- ventor ami foremost electrician of the day has perfected a mechanical c in- trivance that will revolutionize all forms of industry. This machine is one that has been the greatest aim of all scientists for the past century. By this time no one could have taken the paper from me by force. I searched every page and was greatly rewarded, for item after item, met my eye that brought old familiar names and faces to mind. One was as follows: Fifty-nine
