And now we present summer heat. Look now at the old Elms, the highly covered buildings on the campus of a small Midwestern university. It's a fine June afternoon when you hear laughter in the greetings of the reunion of the class of 36.

Twelve years at best. But none of the members of the class seems much older to each other. There's the dark-haired Paul Baxter wondering rather strangely. They're two of his old friends, prosperous now, judged by their clothes and boisterous in greeting.

Paul! Paul Baxter! You old rascal! It's sure good to see you again! Hello, Steve. But this is a surprise. Why don't you have a right to us, Paul, you had our addresses? By sure! That's no way to treat old classmates.
