Prophecy HE whirring of the huge motor of my private airplane ceased as my long nonfstop flight from New York to Oakdale was nearing its end. Oakdale! My old home town! After ten long years what changes was I to find here? Scanning the beautiful panorama below me, my eye was drawn to a flourishing farm. In large letters printed above the driveway entrance was inscribed a name, !'Robert Washburn and Co. How familiar that name seemed to me. Where had I heard it before? Robert-Robert Washburn, I mused. Ah! I had it! My old schoolmate of '28 who had worked for four long years so enthusiasf tically endeavoring to complete his knowledge of an agricultural career. Hurriedly alighting from my plane, I made my way from the landing field in order to telephone my dear friend Maurine Fogarty of my arrival. Failing to find her name in the directory, I inquired of a man of her whereabouts. I noticed that his voice was strangely familiar and no doubt he noticed the same about mine, for we recognized each other almost at the same moment. Yes, he was none other than Robert Eng' strom, the old chemistry shark. After renewing old acquaintance and conversing for some time, I learned, among other interesting events that had taken place during my absence, that Maurine had been married and was now residing in Riverbank. The fact that she was just married did not surprise me as I knew that she always favored long engagements. Upon bidding Robert goodfbye, I called a taxi, and after entering the vehicle I was confronted by Samuel Marchetti, the same slow and careful driver as of old. Arriving at the newly constructed Ulrich Hotel, nervous and shaken from my ride, I hurried across the lobby to procure a room. Glancing at the register, I noted the name Mr. and Mrs. O. Martellaf' which had been hastily written before mine. After a few minutes I retired to my room for a short time to rest and to tidy up a bit and then left the hotel for a stroll along the crowded streets. Srangers were passing me on every side, until I began to despair that I should see any of my old schoolmates again. Presently my eyes were attracted by the words Wayne Seacrist, Realtor. Then looking at a small elaborately decorated garden Tea Room, I was surprised at seeing the name of the owner above the door, !'Zella Shepherd, Prop' rietessf' How happy I was to learn that Zella's favorite ambition has been realized and that she was an interior decorator at last! 'The thought that so many of my school friends were prosperous in business was almost unbelievable, and, spurred on with the zest of finding future signs of my classmates, I smiled as I imagined their surprise at seeing me in Oakdale again after so many years' absence. Oh! What luck, I cried, for I saw Myron Kimball coming toward me. Hello there, he called, I see by your suitcase that you must be leaving town. Where are you bound for? ,,. ' 2 f -gtggli I9 15.4.3-.
