We are about to embark on a journey to Mars, and as we leave our new Jupiter-styled home, which was designed by Don Bates, a taxicopter lands on the lawn to transport us to the space ship. At the controls we find Galen Hosselton. As we enter, we see a plaque which reads: Manufactured by the McNair Manufacturing Company. ” After we are seated, our pilot pushes a button and a tray appears from the back of the seat bearing coffee sandwiches, and magazines. On the tray we see an inscription that reads, Patented 1967, by Leslie Bryant. We thumb through one of the magazines and read where the former Ann Mathis received an Academy Award as the leading actress of the year, and the former Rita Mayo has received her tenth gold record. We pick up a newspaper, and the headlines jump at us--- Edith Brooks, Missionary, Lost in Africa. As we fly over the city, we see the Shirley Laird Modeling Agency, Virginia Kessler and Betty Simmons are her leading designers. We pass over the state university, where David Blessing is president. His private secretary is Pat Eckart. Below us now is the city hospital where Edna Miller is Head Nurse. Next door to the hospital is the office building where John Wilkins, who is now a dentist, has his office.

We are now arriving at the space ship. It is beautiful, as it was designed by Jim Cain and built by the Herdes Twins' Aircraft Corporation. We are ushered into a building where we don space-suits. The suits, we see. were designed by Karen Grandon and Doris Henderson, and made by the Weiler Clothing Company, whose slogan is, We fit anything. Outside we see that the youngest senator in the United States, Roger Franklin, is here to see us off. With him is his very efficient, private secretary, Linda Sunday. There are also several members of the press present. Among them we see two of our old classmates, Joyce Conner and Sylvia Stanley. Next we are introduced to our pilot and co-pilot and find that they are none other than Carl Kessler and Jerome Klingler. We enter the space ship and are greeted by three very charming space hostesses, Ellen Oradorff, and Linda and Nova Hildebrand. We look around and see quite a few distinguished people among the passengers. A few of them are, the former Kaaren Osborn who is here with her husband, who owns a trucking company; James Stewart, president of the Cosmic Weapon Company; Ruth Ann Fitzgerald, author of many books on the best-seller list; the former Joann Gill owner of the Dandy Little Atomic Potato Peeler Company; and Kenneth Hohlbauch, who is head of the F.B.I. It is almost blast-off. and when we start to get hungry, the hostesses serve us a delicious meal. We learn that the food was supplied by a chain of supermarkets owned by Harry Bryant. We also learn that our radio technician is Bill Gardner. One of the hostesses tells us that we are about to pass the first U. S. Satellite. We remember reading that the former Mary Raley is employed there. She uses an adding machine to count Sputniks. We are approaching Mats now, and everyone is getting excited. Our ship lands, and as we alight from it. we are greeted by the King of Mats, who is, much to our surprise, Myron Dunigan. His Prime Minister. Jim Brown, is there too. We decide to take a tour of Mars. Our guide is Daniel Weidner. On our tour we see the Mars Flying Saucer Company. The president is Eugene Sharp, and his secretary is Dorothy Windland. We stop and visit for a few minutes with the Harold McCollum's, owners of the Little Green Suits for Little Green Men Manufacturing Company. Mrs. McCollum is the former Rena Lents. We find that the former Mary Omar is employed there. Downtown we are greeted by Gerald Hostettler, the only educated bum on Mars. On the comer we see the former Norma Watson and Elener Patridge selling green lemonade to the little green men. Across the street we see a shop with a sign in the window that reads. Get Your Pizza Here. The proprietors are none other than Ellen Volk and Lou Ann Kuenstler. We have enjoyed our tour very much and we return to the space ship and blast off for home, happy and contented to have seen our old classmates once again.
