It doesn't seen that long since I stood with the graduating class that fine late spring night and received my diploma from high school. The old gang certainly has scattered. Wonder what they are all doing now? Now, what do you know about this ? My picture in the paper already! Well, I guess from now on I'll be a popular person. Being nominated to run for congress makes a person popular all right. I've had fifty callers al- ready this morning--people who want to be appointed to political offices when Oden McClain is their congressman. Well, well, I see we are going to have colder weather. Beats all how those weather prophets miss the weather. They never come within several miles of being right. Guess a weather observer gets a good salary. Well, when we were all in high school no one ever would have thought that Jim Snyder would become the one to dish out the weather to us. Can't say much for some of the weather he hands us. What's this ? New underground passage across the Atlantic to be opened June lst. The first tunnel to span the Atlantic Ocean will be put into use this summer. Speed ships will zip through the tunnel at the rate of 500 miles per hour. The hazard of flying will be counteracted by the safety of the tunnel. It is estimated that Z, 000, 000 travelers will go across the ocean before the end of the year in the tunnel cars. Chief Engineer, Bob Allman, has already been decorated by five countries for this engineering feat which is considered the greatest undertaken by civilized man. Here's something interesting. Looks like someone has finally invented a new kind of alarm clock--one that will really work. The kind of alarm we used to have when I was in high school generally failed to work when we needed it, and it always awakened us when we wanted to sleep. I notice that a patent has been granted to Bill Miller, under patent number 457889324, for a new silent alarm clock. Well, anything to take the noise out of this world. There's entirely too much noise. Only yesterday a group of Seniors stopped under my window and gave some high school yells. Pesky Seniors! Wonder what the sports page has on it today. I'm anxious to see how the races came out yesterday at Colorado Springs. Ha! Now wouldn't that jar you! Delores Donaldson's horse came in first. Guess she has a fine stable all right. Old Fleefast certainly made all the other horses take to the tall

C las s Prophe cy QContinuedJ timbers. With Enno Schmidt as jockey, evidently the race was in the purse before the horses started, according to this sports writer's comment. Oh, here is a new heavyweight champion. Jack Holden knocked out the heavyweight champ in a half round last night. At the end of the first half- round the referee stepped in andstopped one of the most fierce and hard pounding fighters of the ring. The Chicago White Sox have just bought the Burlington Blues. Accord- ing to this, Jim Stockdale will be the new manager. He ought to be a good one. He was always trying to manage everyone's business when he was in high school. Wonder what is new on Wall Street. These brokers and Wall Street banks generally have all the cash. When I get into congress we're 'going to have to make a law against bankers and Wall Street brokers. Well, maybe we won't either. I see here that my old friend Jerry Ault heads the biggest bank on the street. Those fellows can't be so bad if they are all like Jerry. Here is another picture. That face looks familiar. Well, that's fine. Always did thinklthat the boys and girls had it in them. New life insurance company names Bud Overfield, president, and Mary Staller, secretary. Wonder what is on the radio tonight? Here we are. Umm--a play right from broadway. Bet this will be good. Alvena Yoder has the lead. The song hits are by Nancy Cunningham. I'll try to hear that if I get back from dinner at Shirley Martin's cafe in time. I like playsg but I wouldn't miss those cozy little chats each morning by Ardith Arnold for anything. They're good. I just can't get over these bedtime stories by Beatty Howell. Oh, we always thought there were some exceptionally intelligent people in our class, but we never dreamed one of them would someday star on a radio program as a bedtime- story teller. I tell you I don't know what we would do if it were not for the funnies in the paper. I get a kick out of them each day. I like Bright Antics of Silly Folks by Dottie Kline. Then there are Sillysisms by Patsy Raber. Guess those folks have really advanced in the cartoon world. They say they get a thousand dollars a week. Well, it would be worth it to have to be thinking of funny things to make people laugh all day long. The advertisements are always interesting. Wonder what the shop- ping woman has to say this morning. I always read what she says. Not that I am interested in women's clothes, but it is interesting to know that
