CLASS PROPHECY The whole town of Illiopolis is talking about the big party in the man- sion of the multi-millionaire, Myron Griesheim. Mike, as his close friends call him, owns a chain of theatres from coast to coast. He is seldom home, but recently he returned and planned an elaborate homecoming for his high school classmates of 1955. After twenty-five years it would not have been possible for him to con- tact all of his friends if it had not been for that astounding event that happened a few months ago. We are referring to that outer-space trip made by Robert Winters in his especially designed rocket ship. Robert contacted Venus, and was given a a hero's welcome on his return. Radiograms of congratulations kept the air waves in a whirl, and, because every senior of 1955 sent his message of admiration to Robert Mike was able to learn the whereabouts of each of his classmates and decided on a reunion. There were twenty-one planes at Mike's airport—seven of them belonging to Mike. One plane, a beautiful royal blue and silver, belonged to the lovely model, Norma Maxheimer, who in private life is Mrs. James Pish. One plane had the definite markings of a taxi. Naturally, Eddie Blair was the pilot. He is also a reporter for the Illiopolis Sentinel. Eddie had two pass- engers, Dolly Kennett, a secretary to Mr. Billy Wayne McMillan, who manufactures chewing gum in a tube. Just squeeze the tube and get the right amount. Mr. McMil- lan conceived the idea while preparing the well-known plastics used in his houses. Dolly is married to an actor. She doesn't need to work, but the chewing gum factory has such fascination for her that she applied for a position on the off- ice force. She has been very helpful in her suggestions for flavors. There was a brilliant yellow plane belonging to Professor David Worth who teaches at U.C.L.A., and who has perfected colored sky writing. He has a contract with DuPont, and recommended Raymond Winters as an expert sky writer. The beautiful smoke-picture ads painted by Lefty have been inspiring; however, Raymond has asked for a leave of absence so he can accompany his brother, Robert, on his next trip to Venus. Raymond wants to paint a few pictures of the life on that planet. Francis Murphy arrived in a neat little silver plane. He has been in Alad a getting material for his next book. It is rumored that he may also make a trip to Venus and write an account of his experiences. It is doubtful that his lovely ac- tress wife. Lura Lee, will go with him.
