Glass fzolrhecnl 6 I LIS The tillltf i11 which we live certainly offers 1llZlIl.V possibilities which stimulate tI1e Illlilgllllilfltill. The most interesting invention I IIEIVP Ill'iII'tI of came fl'0lll a highly fl'2IIllt'tI radio engineer. He prophisied tI1at before lo11g this lllUL'IlllIlISlll would be able to reeord artual photographs of events which took place till tl1e earth many years ago, or lllillly years in tl1e future. A11otl1er of tl1ese fantastie IIIVQIIIIUIIS is tl1e time maehine, which I am using i11 lllj' flight Illitl tl1e future. I stepped i11to tl1e time maehine: XVIIIP-I'-1'-l'-l'-1'-l'-l'4l' r. I11 a flash I stepped out Ull Sth Avenue i11 New Yourk t'ity. I glaneed up at a neon sign Illltl XVIIZII sl1ould I see hut MMe llarhara Iiilllllllllw flasl1ing o11 illltl off i11 front of lllC'. Wondering if this sl1oppe eould possihly belong to tl1e Barhar Kiinmel, llly elass111ate ol' 1948 at G.II.S., I stepped through a revolvi11g door. A elerk moved for- ward to greet llll' and to llly surprise I knew Il9l'. -leannire Brown , I exclaimed, what are you tItlIIlQ Ilt'l't'?u She explained tlltli sl1e was worki11g as a dress designer ilIItI clerk for Mme.

Iioth .leanniee and Ilarhara had 20110 to I+'ranee to study dress designing and llllthll their return to Ameriea, had opened tI1e sl1oppe. 'I'hey IltltI made a 1l1ill'V6ItbIlS trade out of their e11terprise. After ehatting for a wl1ile witl1 tl1e girls, I realized 111y time was li111ited so I l1ade farewell and eontinued tlll llly journey i11 tI1e future. I lnonght a 11ewspaper a11d glam-ed IIll'tlllg'Il it. I started to lay it tItlNVll again when a headline caught llllV eye. fllllI'0lll't' Hagan, Editor of tl1e New York Gem, is to speak at a tIIllIlt'l' at tl1e H21 t,'l11h.

them if they knew of the where-abouts of any of our classmates. Bill and George both shook their heads, saying they knew of only o11e of the class. Bill slyly smiled, You might be interested in seeing my new vocalist! Excuse me a second aml We'll let you hear her sing. Imagine lily surpise when Ielill introduced Beverly Julius. YYhen her number was over, she joined us at our table. We then settled back to hear the lecture to be delivered by Editor Clarence Hagan of the New York Gem. After tl1e speech was over, George invited Clarence to our tableg then followed a reunion of a few 1ne1n- bers of the Class of HIS . IVe exchanged experiences. Clarence had married into a family who owned a newspaper in Indiana and had attained such fame as a reporter that he'd had several good offers. Ile accepted the Gem's ot'fer and came to New York. Time was getting short, so with regrets, I left the Club and walked back to the tilne machine. I had many more miles to go before my journey would e11d and I had little time to spare. I stepped into tl1e time machine and in a mere instant, I stepped out to view a circus parade coming down a street in Middletown, Ohio. The clowns in their bright. array always attract me aml on this particular day I decided to visit them in their dressing rooms after the parade. I stopped a well-dressed fellow and asked him where I could see the clowns. He began to laugh. Then I recognized him. Ferris Petty! I exclaimed, what have you been doing for the past ten years? He said he had started out as a clown in a circusg l1is interest in tl1e circus grew till finally he and Ferrell bought a circus wihch they named the Petty Brothers Circus. They were featuring lYillis Little as King of the Clowns. After meeting Willis, I was given a pass to see tl1e circus and, accompanied by Ferrell Ferris, I went to see the King of The Clowns. lle really was the King. His performnace was nearly as good as his portrayal of Elmer in Elmer and the Lovebug' in high school. After the performance we went to the Corner Drugstore for refreslnuents for old time's sake. Stepping up to greet us with that always pleasant s111ile was Jeanie Maple. That drug store grace and geniality she developed in her high school days still clung to her and made her a delightful person to meet. She aided her husband, Ralph Trott, who had opened the corner drugstore. Prlyt'twenty-H11 cc
