May 9—Aileen has begun a book about the adventures we are having during our trip—she’ll probably become famous when it’s published. Why not? We’re a famous class. Dena gives us physical exercise every morning—Dr. Margaret Shores keeps us in good health—and Robert Ladd, Florence, and Eugene Hermann keep us entertained—we were indeed fortunate to have such a variety. If variety is the “spice of life,” we certainly have lots of spice. May 10—More spice! Verna and Ovid have broken their engagement. Besides that we had a real adventure this morning. Our airship came to rest just over a city in Japan, and we were peacefully gazing at the scenery below, when Geraldine sighted John Dickson helplessly floating around below us on the motor wings that Norman had invented for life savers. We could see that he had lost control, but before we reached him, he began to experiment with the wheels and suddenly shot up above us so fast that our large ship couldn’t keep up with him. We had almost reached him when a large plane from above swooped down to pick him up. Much to our surprise we found that it was Edwin and his young bride who were returning to Mars. We told John that he had better learn to operate it before he tried it again. May 11—Since Ovid has seen Marta, the Martian maiden, he has firmly decided to return with Edwin to Mars. Nothing could shake his determination. He says it’s worth di ing for in the attempt. He certainly has the knack of falling out of love faster than he can fall in. May 12—We’ve covered every inch of the globe in our trip and had lots of fun doing it. Helen must return to play at the immense lecture hall in Myrtle Point, where Alethea Barklow is holding a series of lectures on “Husband Welfare.” We shall all stop to hear her. We’ve seen many strange sights, but when we saw a number of little scurrying white objects running from all corners of a huge range we saw below us, to form a moving body of letters—CLASS OF ’26— we decided that it was by far the strangest. Someone was frantically waving to us, and upon closer inspection we found that it was Rodney Davenport who was so excitedly waving, and the white moving body of letters was his trained chickens! May 13—There’s nothing more that is interesting to write about now, since everyone is gone. No matter, everyone was left at his home with the promise of another class reunion sometime in the future—that’s something to look forward to. Who knows what wonderful places we will hold in the world by that time? We shall look forward to that time with much pleasure and anticipation. (To be continued at the next reunion) Page Fifteen

May 4—Maybell with seventeen children arrived early this morning. She hasn’t changed a bit in regard to her talkativeness. I remember that she was always extremely fond of children, but 1 never thought that she’d aspire to be ta matron of an orphan’s home. Aileen Barker, who is among the world’s promising novelists, and Bob Ladd, who is acting in the screen version of “Adam and Eva,” came with Maybelle. Ovid hasn’t heard from Vern i McNair, Edwin Keltner, or Rodney Davenport yet—1 suppose we’ll have to start without them. Those children of Maybell’s make so much noise I can scarcely hear myself think. May 5—Marvels will happen, really, I’m not fully recovered from the surprise and shock yet. Just before we started this morning—a very beautiful, slender, and well dressed woman appeared. We watched her as she walked up the driveway, but no one recognized her, and we wondered who it could be, until the butler announced—Verna McNair! She told us that she had become beautiful from her invention of freckle ai d reducing cream—she said it worked on her, whv not on everyone else. She became wealthy as well as beautiful. Paul McNair came with her, he’s one of the city of Myrtle Point’s most successful shoe manufacturers. Miy 6—I wouldn’t let anyone know it for anything—but I’ve just ordered one hundred bottles of Verna’s freckle cream. If it works on me, it would work on anyone else. Everyone has chosen his room and we are well on our way to Paris. My airship is larger than my house and has more rooms, so we have more than enough floor space. May 7—Ovid and Verna are very ill. I believe they have the malady that is called “love-at-first-sight.” Reverend Wagg is silently anticipating the time that he will have “his hand crossed with silver.” We stopped in Paris long enough for Florence and Lena to come oa board. Nothing else happened today. May 8—When I glanced over the newspaper this morning, I saw these headlines— J. WILLIAM LADD CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AVIATOR SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING MARS RETURNS WITH MARTIAN BRIDE —and I went on to read that Edwin Keltner, a young and daring aviator, after many unsuccessful attempts, had finally reached Mars, to return with a very beautiful Martian maiden for his wife. Now, I understand why we hadn’t heard from him. Well—I don’t blame him. Page Fourteen
