THE FIRST GRADUATE SPEAKS IN 1976 Last night I dreamed I spent a day in the halls of Robert E, Lee High School with my friends of the first graduating class. Because of that dream, I was more attentive to the members of the graduating class of I956 that I saw and heard than I usually am. As I entered my uItra-modern kitchen, I noticed how much easier it was to cook breakfast with my atomic coffee pot, invented by Kay Thomas and Mickey Newman, and manufactured by the Tatum Enterprises, which made CharIes' first million for him. Another modern convenience I noticed was my Cosmic Egg Cooker, an ingenious idea made a reality by Bill Shepherd. With the prospect of a long hard day ahead of me, I decided to relax a moment and watch the morning news on my mental telepathy set, the product of years of research by Spencer Ross, Rod Lide, Lattie CoIIins, Lamar Chesser, and Paul Reeder. The program on the station I turned to was the Ed Jones' Show and I simply couldn't change until Wynine Hodges had finished her beautiful solo. I switched stations just in time to see an Emmett William's Doap Flakes Company commercial. When the news came on, I learned from commentator, Ed Spencer, that Senators Ingram Gomillion and John AIbert Hollemon are backing Jerry Drinkard in the coming Presidential elections. Also in the news were Charles Heaton and John Reynolds, both now foreign ambassadors. Following the news program was a fashion sh0w of all the latest creations by Janet Bigger, Melba Lindsey, Harriett Ann Logue, Frances BeasIey and Carol Reynolds. A few of the models I happened to notice were Pat Stallings, Sarah Burson, Carolyn Cox, Joyce Mathis, Barbara Moore, and Susan Park, who are all from the IIWow Modeling Agency owned by Harold Blake. Just as an exquisite hat by the famous Paris designers Barbara Foote and Lanell Wadsworth came into view, my set went off. I couIdn't find out what was wrong with it, so I called the Donnie Lewis Fix-It Company and asked that repairmen Harry Cutclitf and Bill Couch be sent out. Since it was getting close to the time when I should be in town, I began making preparations to leave, but I soon noticed that there was a spot on my clothes. However, I removed it easily with my home dry cleaning unit, I recently invented by Jo Ann Lewis and DoIIy Miller. In a few minutes I got into my atomicmobile, manufactured by the Son MobiIe Company, owned and operated by Wayne Thomason, Marlin Anderson, and John Williamson, and was on my way to town. I slowed down to 350 miles per hour so that I wouldn't get a ticket; Earl Dees and Pat Misciagna were following in their patrol car. A short distance from town I was stopped by space patrolmen, Joe Pouncey, Steve Butler, Phillip Bailey and Wayne Graydon, who told me that the skyway-block was to catch IIBeaver Bryant, a notori- ous tree cutter, who had been damaging more of the precious wood last night. I had to wait a few moments before I couId see the famous financier, Jerry Brooks, because he was busy with Fancher Phelps and Jerry Dickey, president and vice-president of the National Association of Bubble Gum Chewers. I spent the time I was waiting chatting with Nancy Potter, Jerry's secretary. When I finally got into his office, Jerry told me that a space station he had financed was opening that day and asked me to go and see what I thought of it. My visit was cut short because Raymond Mathis, Mrs Brooks' assistant, showed in Durden Lee, gov- ernor of the Moon, and Benny Meadows, ambassador to Mars. I left for the space station on the next rocket. On the rocket with me were Dot Pebworth, Pat Shirley, Donald Jones, Robert Sims, Dot Mulli- gan, Don ChisoIm and Carolyn Peterson. Carolyn was a little uneasy about the trip as it was her first, but I told her that I was sure that the pilot, James Lockhart, was one of the best, and that at the space station the famous doctor, Sue Waters, was in charge of medical aid. Also on board were Johnny Andrews and Gene Turner, first missionaries to the moon. When we landed at the station, I noticed the mechanics, Richard Moses and Eldon Talant, checking over the ship. There was a large crowd present for the opening among whom were many dignitaries such as the modern artists, Alice Bach and Marijoyce Tuck; the author of the new best seller, Smile But Don't Laugh, Ouida Faye Atkins; and the editor of The Big Star, Dona Boyd. The heads of the station, Charles Brophy and Frank Sexton, conducted us on a tour and showed us all the newest develop- ments in space travel. While on the tour, I happened to see Bill McLeod, Judy Ragland, Barbara Samson, Betty Jane Jordan, Gerald Williams, and IIBucky Stevens. 44
