Remember when Mr. Jellema used to talk about it? I guess Annetta thought it needed some support. And the class would have some teachers in it, Agnes said. Emeline's teaching in the Little Red School House. She travels every summer because they say travel broadens one so. And can you imagine Helene teaching German? Well, I said, Bill Bouman realized his ambition - he's coaching the teams at Oberlin College in Ohio. . I can hardly wait for the Alumni Banquet next winter, Agnes exclaimed, why, it's nine years since we graduated, and although it's more than we can expect, I hope everyone will be there.

lIFDlDGllFllDlIRlIlllNIlGlll'S CLASS PROPHECY The door bell rang and Agnes Zwier came rushing into the room. Oh, I've oodles to tell you, she said, all about our old classmates. Start at the beginning, I interrupted, I didn't even know you were back from California. All right, I'll start at the source of the information, she said. It all began when I heard that Gerald Klaasen was going to give an address on 'San Diego's Future in the Air.' Of course I knew that he was studying aviation but I didn't think he was that im- portant. Why, he pilots one of the big Ford passenger planes across the continent every week, and Willard Nienhuis is his chief mechanic. After the meeting we talked a long time and he told me the whereabouts of all the members of the class. Diletta Buter is secretary for the 'Trans-Continental Air Transport' at the main office in Cleveland. He saw Gertrude Dykman in Seattle where she's living now and married to a sailor. The last time Gerald was in New York he heard that John Klan- derman was selling banana oil in the Bahama Islands, and Don Staal was disappointed in love and in desperation joined the navy. Rumors are he now has a girl in every port. What became of Bert? I put in. . O, Bert played the stock market and struck it rich and now he's cruising in the South Seas in his yacht which he's called 'Evelynf So she's his inspiration yet? I said, remember when even the teachers used to kid them? And, Agnes asked, who do you think grew famous overnight? - Ed Boeve. He made a new record on a motorcycle when he went from New York to Los Angeles in four days. And Sylvia, he told me, was the most capable nurse at Mayo Bros. What's Laura doing? I queried. Oh, Klaas says she's running a hot-dog stand at San Diego in her spare time, she's working her way through the college there. And she pulls in the prospects with her eyes - that's what gets them! I got a letter from Kathryn today, I said. She and Margaret are having a great time becoming musicians at the 'Chicago Conservatory of Music.' She said Annetta had Page Twenty-five I NO Xl! of xxx
