s r®plhe© ' ELL, it is just fifteen years since the class of ' 29 graduated from the Moun- tain View High School. It is a great thrill for me to be over here at Pro- fessor Aitken ' s house ready to take a good long look through his prophecy machine, which he recently invented. For the reader ' s benefit; what ever is seen through this machine is the happenings in the lines of the different classmates whom I shall chance to bring to memory. Now for my first look. Why, there is Doyce Pease, hard at work wtih his new invention, by which he expects to send radio messages to Mars and also one hour transportation facilities with the earth. He must have learned that from Popular Mechanics. Now look who is here, Miss Ellen Beck, private secretary for Dr. Greenough, who is now a noted physician in Milpitas. While gazing on the two classmates I heard them talking about Bob Pfleger. Poor Bob, — they say he had just swallowed a reed from his famous saxophone and was rushed to a hospital where Miss Gladys Carroll and Miss Mae Carson were attending. Ah-ha — here is Miss Margaret Castle and Miss Alma White, they are just about to appear for their performance; of course they are noted actresses now. And, what is that I hear Margaret say? She is just telling Alma of her engagement to Keith Kunze, now a famed political boss of Alviso — I always thought Keith would fall hard! And now what do I see. John Thuesen of course — Captain of a rum-chaser — eh — why there is Steve Carkeek, first mate. I wonder if they do much raiding now-a-days. Say! it looks as if they are chasing someone. And if it isn ' t Wild Bill Crowley and Two Gun Sartain. It looks like Captain Thuesen has overtaken the rum- runner piloted by Crowley and Sartain. Now Crowley is telling Thuesen and First- mate Carkeek all about it. He first declares that he is innocent, but Capt. Thuesen soon found out that the shipment of goods were for Mr. Mastin, Man-about-town, who is anixously awaiting arrival of his highly prized Scotch! And here is Mr. William Laughlin, principal of the Mountain View High School. It looks like there are only girls in the school by the flock that is hanging around Bill, but I guess it is only his noted magnetism for the female sex. And who is this? Iolande Scarini, Latin teacher, and Eulah Lamphear, gosh she looks like a pin-cushion — I guess she acquired that from being sewing teacher. And if it isn ' t Charles de Curtoni, professor of English — they say Mr. de Curtoni is running for dean of irls — and going strong. Well, look who is here — Millie Marcella and Jack Olney — Jack is talking as usual. Now I see! Millie is running on the Communistic ticket for president of the United States, and Jack is his most loyal backer. I guess we ought to feel sure of our next president, since Jack is making the speeches. Why, sure enough, there is Miss Elda Frederickson, poring over some important work, and, to be sure, her desk is labeled, Pres. Phi-Beta-Kappa. There is another familiar face in this room, Miss Shirley Huff, her private secretary. Irma Perry and Francis Sherman — a couple of physicians — eh — well I wish they would start in working on Jack Olney — they ought to be able to cut down his in- cessant gab to normal. [29 1
