Class SP tophecy Sterling White In the summer of 1986 as Halley's comet appeared it made me think of my oid class- mates and the arguments we had as to where we would be when the comet appeared thirty- two years later. I had not thought about some of them for many years and I had lost contact with them. I remembered that my N.C.S.D. class book was in the attic so I went to look for it. I finally found it under a pile of magazines. I blew the dust off and settled down to read it from cover to cover. I suddenly decided to take a short vacation and surprise all twenty-five of my classmates with a visit. It woud really be a surprise to them for soon after graduating from college I had started working on my invention. I had lost all contact with my former friends and had buried myself in my work. I had kept my plans a secret. At last, after many years of hard work and disappointments, I had accomplished what I had set out to do. My dream was realized in the atom-powered flying cup which could take off and land in a few square feet and fly faster than any other craft. I had kept the success of my invention a secret irom everyone. Now would be a good time for me to introduce it to the public and show it off to my classmates. The next mornng right after breakfast I took off from the roof of my house in my flying cup, NX D-346, with Seattle, Washington as my destination. I knew that Billy Heath lived there as I had read about him in a sports magazine. Fifty-nine minutes later I circled over Billy’s home which was as large as a palace. I landed near a porch and Billy came running out to see what queer contraption had dared apprcach his house. He was amazed when he saw me. He recognized me instantly and shook hands with me. Wow! My hand was almost crushed. He was strong and broad-shouldered and made me think of Richard, the Lion- Hearted I had studied about long before. I was surprised to see that he was wearing a football uniform. He told me that he had just gotten back from practice. He owned a professional team and also played on it. According to him, he was the world’s most marvelous player. He insisted that I stay for lunch and while we were eating he told me about several of our classmates. He said Rosalyn lived in Kentucky so I decided to call on her next. I hopped into my flying cup and flew east to Kentucky. I flew high but in a few minutes slowed down and came in low as I knew I was getting near her home. What was that I saw? ' looked like a brown field moving. I came in closer and realized that what I had seen was a group of horses grazing close together. There were hundreds and hundreds of them. Not far away I saw a long low ranch house so I came down near the front door. I called and called but no one answered. I went to the stables and found Rosalyn carrying a very unusual looking horse. She told me that it was an unicorn, an ammal something like a horse, but it has a single long horn in the middle of its forehead. It was the first one I had ever seen and I was very much interested. We went back to the house for a chat. The rooms were so filled with trophies that I could hardly walk for them. Rosalyn told me that Vilas was in Washington, D. C. After a short visit with her, I lett for Washington. I arrived in Washington about an hour be- fore dinner time. I decided to go to Gallaudet College immediately to look up Vilas. As I neared the college I met a man carrying many books. Though I recognized him immediately, Vilas didn’t know who I was. He seemed pleased to see me and invited me to have din- ner with him. He used such big words that I needed a dictionary. He told me that he was leaving Washington soon to teach at Duke University. His reputation was greater than that of Dr. Einstein’s whom he resembled in appearance. the next day I flew to Miami for a few days’ rest. I saw two distinguished-looking people coming out of a swanky hotel. I knew ‘hem at once. They were Lowell Riddle and Mary Ellen Johnson. They were dressed in very fine clothes. He had a big diamond stick pin in his scarf and she had on a mink coat and the Hope Diamond. You could tell they were billionaires. I started to speak to them but they promptly snubbed me. Just then a brand new Cadillac car pulled up to the curb and some one called my name. It was Donald Senter on his way back to New York. He was owner-manager of the Yankees and was very successful. It was very nice to see him looking well and happy. I walked along the street toward my hotel. In the lobby I bought a magazine on photo- graphy. I glanced through it and imagine my astonishment when I saw a large colored pic- ture of Clyde Morton smiling at me. I read the article and learned that he was a very famous professional photographer. That evening I went to a sports show at the Coliseum. I was reading over the program when I discovered that it was printed by the McAlister-English Printing Company. So two more of my old classmates had succeed in do-
