I dropped in to see my friend, Mr. Merlin. in hopes that some of his clever scien- tific ideas might offer some diversion. I found him sitting before a queer-looking instrument that bore some resemblance to learned that he was experimenting with sending wave lengths into the future by means of his new inven- tion. which he called a prophescope. Suddenly an idea came to mel Why not go into the future and see what my fellow graduates would be doing in 1950? Mr. Merlin agreed, and the great adventure was begun at once. Leading me into a radio. Upon inquiry, I a metal-lined room, he seated me in a chair and attached iron headphones over my ears. He in- structed me that by manipulating the controls which he strapped to my hands I could project myself into the future at any desired date, but without myself being visible. He screwed the headphones down and turned a wheel, immediately causing five huge bulbs to burst into brilliant light. Five great arcs of light began to play about the room. Next an oh- scure switch was operated, and I felt myself drop- ping through space. It seemed but a minute before I came to an abrupt stop in a large park. I gazed around be- wildered, rubbed my eyes, and perceived on the bench before me Osler Joyce clad in priestly garb, deeply engrossed in a treatise on Priesthood for the Bet- terment of Mankind, his own masterpiece. Look- ing beyond, I discerned a tall pedestal with a colossal statue of Lindbergh, which upon closer observa- tion proved to be the work of Sylvia Chinn, the renowned sculptress. Beside this was a statue done by Virginia Evans in honor of the German fliers' feat. I was suddenly ordered off the grass, and dis- covered none other than John Bloom, looking quite at home in the uniform of a park policeman. I was about to leave the park. when the droning of an airplane attracted my attention, and I beheld Eliza- Lfhf' beth Marshall in her plane, The Ripplesf' flying to the Philadelphia branch of the Chamberlain Air- craft Company, where she was secretary. I started across the street, but barely escaped be- ing run over by a street cleaning machine which Charles Hastings, despite his high ambitions in school, was operating. In dodging this machine, I found myself thrown upon the fender of a hand- some Rolls-Royce driven by Esther Stevens, the brilliant authoress of Black Sammy. She was busily chatting to a friend of her last week-end at Cape Cod which she had spent with Jeanette George, the instructor in Domestic Arts at the University of Pennsylvania, who had just an- nounced such wonderful discoveries in regard to vitamines F, G. and H. I walked along the street for a time until I rec- ognized the Lyric Theatre, and decided to go in. Imagine my astonishment to see Harry Shavitz, tenor, and Mildred Sammons, soprano, giving a soul-stirring matinee of Romeo and Juliet, with Romeo on the balcony in an effort to make him reach .,Iuliet's shoulder. As I passed out of the Lyric, I almost dropped my hand controls when I bumped into Henry Davis. He was standing there in the Lyric foyer peddling a basket of perfumery at ten cents a bottle. Further down the street, I saw Raymond Crocetti yelling Bananas with all the vigor of his race. I next decided to visit old Gwynns Falls to see what changes had come about there. There was Mildred Sadofsky teaching English and Gladys Fager giving an impassioned lesson in bookkeeping. On my way in town, I passed Barnum and Bailey's Circus, where I found Charles Rabel punc- tuating with clownish stunts his yells of Right this way, friendsf See Reginald Catherman, the Midget Fat Man! At Johns Hopkins I found Rawlings Hobbs, teaching French, and the new Tired Business Man's Edition of Ivanhoe, in deep consultation with the
