the assistance of Lorraine Higbee and Maxine Mason, the girls had the machine near the point where it would almost run. Once more I entered the space-machine, thought of sunny Japan, and found myself observing the Olympic Games which were in progress there. Under the coaching of LaVern Zander, Robert Arndt and Meredith Martin the team representing the United States was winning a decisive victory. Many times during the day I heard the voice of Marilyn Hazzard, who was broadcasting the results of each event over the public address system. It was here that I met my old classmate Paul Stewart, and after a long talk I learned that Mr. Stewart had become the most noted defense attorney in the world. Paul told me that he had just won a case for Betty Foreman, Eleanor Cottrell, and Lucile Otto permitting them to employ the use of brano-storm, a drug which successfully stimulated very sluggish cortices. Mr. Stewart also informed me of the fact that Margaret Tafel, Mildred Thornton and June Kendall had become interested in deep-sea diving, and that they had descended far into the depths of the ocean to study the phosphorescent light of deep-sea fish. I also learned that Maxine Mitchell, Dorothy Nelson, and Iva Townsend were making use of their recently perfected crime detector. Because of the efforts of these three graduates of 1937, crime was a word so little used that publishers were omitting it from dictionaries in 1962. After this interesting conversation I again made my way to the brainwave-space machine. This time I set my thoughts on the city of Shanghai. In a short time the machine alighted within the big city. A large mob had gathered in the streets, and I soon realized that a strike of the Richardson and McBrayne Manufacturing Company was taking place. It seemed that the workers were objecting quite seriously to the anti-sit-down machine which had recently been installed in the plant. Dodging the angry throng as best I could, I finally found my way to the Shanghai University which had been founded by Esther Galloway, Betty Chase, and Mary Jean Rowley for the purpose of improving the intelligence and progress of the Chinese people. Howard Nash, under the supervision of the University, was instructing the Chinese farmers in American methods of agriculture. Maurine Woolcock, a national dietitian, was assisting Howard in developing brands of peas and beans which were flat on one side. This made it possible for people, who had not read Jane Wagner’s book on etiquette, to balance them on a knife. I now realize that my priceless log contained complete information on the whereabouts and chosen profession of each member of the graduating class of 1937. Since I had already overrun my time limit, I found it necessary to hurry from the city of Shanghai to the little island of Sciencia. My stay in Sciencia was very short. It was with deep regret that I boarded by boat for the journey home. I have read my log from cover to cover many times, and each time I have received renewed inspiration from the fact that every member of the class of 1937 had such an outstanding success in his or her chosen field.

which was being run by Neva and Reva Holcomb with Isabelle Dun-nett acting as general manager. We decided that this would be the place to spend the night after we had seen a little night life in the gay city of Paris. We soon found the ever famous Parisian” night club which had been made a success by the efforts of its owners Madeline Boyd, Betty Brock, and Geraldine Matthews. Dale Rosecrance and his American orchestra were playing a popular song which was being sung by the Nightingale of Paris,” who was none other than Miss Ruth Gallagher. I recognized other members of the orchestra as Donald Campbell, Harold Zeigler, and Earl Barker. While sitting at our table, we admired the beautiful and exquisite decorations of the club. Then, as head waitress, Marian Holliday, was informing us that the decorations were planned by Hazel Hoople, Betty Danner and Nevene Coe, Margaret Dodes and Betty Wellman came strutting through the door. Betty and Margaret, with the assistance of Nadine Dancer and Marjory Owen, were known as successful map-makers.” They operated the largest beauty parlor in the city of Paris. Hours later I returned to the hotel for the rest of the night. The following morning I went to the lobby of the hotel and deposited my three cents in the newspaper teletype-machine, which had been invented by Vernon Gallop and Pauline Gierman, and there before me was printed the last-minute news of the world. In reading the news over carefully, I discovered that Lawrence Read, who had been elected President of the United States, was using his Supreme Court packing and unpacking machine to increase the number of justices to twenty, much to the disgust of his advisors, Harry Ronan, Herman Smith and Maynard White. It was then that I decided to embark in the brain-wave-space machine to the capitol city of the United States. Upon arriving in Washington, I went immediately to the Senate chamber where Senator Jack Faude was delivering a very convincing speech on the elimination of war. In his address Mr. Faude proposed the use of the anger-eliminator machine for pacifying disgruntled statesmen. From the Senate chamber I hurried to the House of Representatives to hear Representative William Erridge oppose President Read’s plan of packing twenty dignified justices on one little bench. As soon as I opened the door I overheard Louis Wagner talking to his wife, the former Maxine Smith, over the one-way telephone which had been perfected by William Coates and LaVern Avery so that it might be possible for husbands to talk to their wives without being interrupted. After listening to the country’s troubles in the House of Representatives, I again boarded the space machine and set my thoughts on the largest scientific laboratory in the world which was located on the Pacific coast. Here I found that Murl Connor, Pauline Chambers and Donna Decker were working on a four-hundred inch telescope which would make the stars shine brighter than those in Hollywood. By 1962 the gasoline supply in the United States was nearly exhausted and Wilhelmina Hahn, Elmira Blow and Genevieve Gates were perfecting a device that would employ cosmic-ray power from space.
