Well, if it isn’t George King, a world famous yodler, performing before a large audience. A little later in the same plkce we hear the orchestra play and find out that it is Carol Savage and Bertram English of the famous “Wonder Twin Six” orchestra. The old man moves the dials around and presently we hear ap- plause. We discover that the applause is meant for Mabel Connors who is dancing some new steps in a Perisian cafe. We also hear that Bud Goldsworthy, known as the “Wiry Kid”, has a marcel and beauty shop in Paris. Fred Holloway, known as the “Sheik of Araby,” is also in France, and is about to sign a contract with one of the French moving picture companies. The Futora announced that Robert Kennedy,’ mayor of Kennedy was this day united in holy matrimony with a rich widow by the name of Mrs. Van Dyck, whose maiden name was Florence Rutherford.

By this time the storm had cleared so that Smith and I could get back to camp. As we started to take leave of our host, he asked us if we would be interested in helping him get his invention on the market. Believing it to be a fire ofTer, we accepted, leaving soon after, each to his destination to sell stock in this Radio Futora.

WINNAPA £ H.C.H.S. ijjl— — - Q25V SENIOR PROPHECY THE world today has its secrets and as a chronicle of those secrets, I wish to tell of one which will do much in revolutionizing our world. Being forced to give up work and go in search of health, Berton Smith, the motorcycle wizard and myself had traveled into the wilds of Canada, pitching our tent at Arrow lake near the city of Nakus. It was one of those mornings which set an unsatisfied feeling in a person, a feeling for travel. So Smith and I started out hiking in search of something to satisfy that feeling. Walking up-grade where the boulders are few and the pines small, a sudden change sent the clouds rolling overhead. The wind, increasing in violence, screeching through the timber and occassionally sending a boulder rolling, told us we were in for a blizzard. We walked faster and faster. Cold, wet, and exhausted, it was an age before we happened onto a welcome cabin. No one came to our knocks at the door, so finally we forced it open, finding at a rough hewn bench, an elderly man. He did rot seem to notice our approach until Smith tapped him on the shoulder, on introducing ourselves, we found him to be a man of generous manner, asking if we were hungry and at Smith’s “I’ll say,” prepared us a meal of bear steak, muffins and coffee. After we had eaten and had the last of our coffee, Smith and I started to wash the dishes while the old gent went back to his bench. When the dishes were washed, we drew our stools along side, noticing for the first time a mess of wire and other electrical items about which we were greatly puzzled. Slipping over to a redwood cabinet, our host lifted out a black shiny box with many dials and loops of wire on it. He placed it on the table explaining that we were looking at his newly perfected electrical contrivance which he called a Radio Futora. Very carefully he covered every detail, the action of various dials and finally suggested that we might be interested in hearing it powers of peering into the future. “Our class mates, what will they be doing ten years from now? Can this machine tell us, “we asked.” For an answer the old man set one dial at ten, moved a few clips on the battery. In a clear, audible tone the machine began to speak. “George Watt has been elected governor of Texas, winning from Ma Ferguson by one vote.” Next we hear that Junior Leidy is one of the greatest lawyers of his time. He starts to speak, but alas the Futora becomes silent. The old man touches up the wires and again we hear some one speaking in a familiar voice. We find that it is no other than Gladys
