eadafz ?fza It is the year 1974. Great changes have taken place in the last 20 years. Following World War III, the world has been divided into several provinces which are govemed much the same as the United States used to be. At the head of this government is the first woman President, Sharlene Plooster. What used to be the U.S. is divided vertically into three provinces, the capitals of which are New York City, Hollywood, and Custer. On this particular day, a convention is being held in Custer by the World Spaceways Incorporated. The purpose of this meeting is to establish a route to and from the centralized school, so that students living as far away as Texas and Canada can be transported more quickly. The program for today, drawn up by Miss Betty Evans, Pres- ident of the Provincial Knitting and Crocheting Club, includes a speech by that brilliant orator, Wayne Sauer, a premiere of the latest 4-D musical Triple Treat, starring that famous Can Can Dancer Nellie Bohlken, and a super-speedy trip around the world in the latest supersonic jet rocket. Food has been provided by Kelley's of Manhattan, which is run by Pat and Jim Kelley, with some help from their 3 sets of twins. Our Emcees for the program are Bill Baker and Jim Morgan, the greatest comedy team since Martin and Lewis. After the speech and movie are enjoyed by all, the food is rushed in, piping hot in a new invention, a de-materializer, which was perfected by a prominent scientist, Bob James. Now we are ready to go, and all board the space rocket which is to fly us through space. Mrs. Wes Hunt, the former Shirley Williamson, and her husband are operating the ship, and looking after the comfort of all aboard. At last all is in readiness, there is a deafen- ing roar, and we are off. Our first stop is in Tiajuana, Mexico, where we find Zell Neff and Judy Knutson dancing in one of the night clubs there. We hear from them about two other Custer graduates of '54, Pat Stiles, Miss Universe of 1960, who, despite her great beauty still hasn't caught a man, and Darrell Spilde, who has become a professional beauty contest judge, much to wifey Marilyn's dismay. P Next we hop to Tokyo, where Helen Mahnke has turned geisha and is playing the lead in Madame Butterfly. We also see Dick Duncan and Eileen Wilkinson, who have a business of designing hats for the threeheaded Jupiterians. Landing next in China, we find Marshall Chase has made a fortune smugglif J opium out of the country. Upon the high mountains of Tibet, we come upon Bob Kelley, who has become a lama, or high chief. He tells us here of the sad plight of two of the 1954 graduates of Custer High, Don Freeland and JoAnn Lacey. It seems they were brave enough to volunteer to man the first space ship to Mars. It has been 10 years now, and from latest reports they are
