'Ld James and I had heard that some scientists at U C L A had invented a tlme and space machine Having notnlng to do, we tnougnt it would be fun to look ten years into the future, and visit our present classmates So we traveled to the Sunshlne State and looked up Professor McGillihooper He readily consented to send us lnto the future We each entered separate compartments and that was the last I saw ol Jim From the U C L A campus I traveled to Lima As I walked down Main Street, I asked where I might find a reasonably priced car The people told me that Meyer's Auto Service was the best in town Where have I heard the name 'Meyers' before? Why of course, he was one of my classmates I decided then and there that I would visit Mr Meyers It seemed that Adrian had recently bought out Hayes and Andrews and was doing a booming business As I d1dn't intend to stay in Lima very long, Adrian kindly offered me the use of his personal 1939 Special Deluxe Super Ford Convertible to visit other classmates. I thanked him and set out to find some more of my fellow students of ' 9 Driving down College Street, I had the urge to stop at the high school When I came up the steps, I noticed two lovely teachers chatting in the corridor Coming closer I recognized them to be Miss Patricia Keenan and Miss Barbara Lefler Because they were busy with the grade children, and I was in a hurry, we only talked a short while and soon I was on my way As I drove down Spring Brook Hill, I noticed a sign that said nConstruction Ahead, Road Blocked H I got out of my borrowed car, wonderln what was belng done to the road I spoke to a tall handsome man who seemed to be in charge We shook hands and to my surprise I found that he was our own Kenneth Burmeister, great world known engineer He was home on a three week vacation and offered to put in the new bridge As he was busy at the moment, we agreed to meet later at Garey's streamlined soda bar When I returned to my car, I saw that a great trailer truck was parked behind me and I walked back to see if I coulc persuade the driver to let me out Upon opening the cab door, I saw Rich Yorks sitting behind the wheel He recognized me lmmediately and we talked for half an hour or more I discovered that he was the owner of a prosperous line of trans contlnental truck lines He was just drivlng that truck to test it, slnce it was a new model Fe was invited to meet with Kenny and me at Garey's While drlving back through town, I discovered that I was low on gasoline I pulled into a very modern Super Shell station and while my car was being serviced, I went in the station to buy a candy bar Behind the counter I found my old friend and 'partner in crime Jimmy Sherman He told one of his mechanics to service my car FREE That was mighty nice of Jimmy and I thanked him very gratefully and promised to stop again Now with my fuel tank full, I drove along and noticed many herds of cattle grazing in the fields I stopped and looked in amazement, wondering who had that big a herd Soon a bigCadillac came zooming down the road and sreeched to a stop a bare three feet from my bumper Upon looking at the driver, I noticed that it was Ronnie Yorks He almost over whelmed me by his hearty greeting I congratulated him on his success and he invited me to look over his holdings I accepted and soon we entered a mansion like house and his personal secretary ushered us into the office As soon as I got a good look at his secretary, I saw it was good olc Joyce Richardson We had a wonderful half hour before I had to leave to make my trip back to the U C L A campus CLASS FLOWER THE YELLOW ROSE 14 .
