how long it would take a man to parachute from Mars to Earth. His test jumpers are Clyde Weitzel and William Whipkey. It seems as though all the planets are interested in this experiment. Mary Ann Baer, the President of Jupiter, is delivering a message over the new inter-planetary set, designed by Robert Brilhart. This planet is sending out a crew of outer space men to follow the paratroopers. The crew members are Jack Colbert, George Croushore, and Joe Gettemy who will travel on rocket- propelled broom sticks, invented by Mary Faith Reboy. Betty Oldland and Esther Reese, famous librarians, are in the rumble seats of these contraptions prepared to get the women's view. Due to the fact that the next report from the paratroopers will not be in for at least another fifteen minutes, we will travel to Saturn, where an event of universal importance is taking place. F While the picture is being tuned in, I will give you a few facts concerning the event. A race is being held on the ring surrounding. Saturn. The contestants are using atom-powered roller skates built by the renowned skater Ronald Hixson. The picture is in focus now and we can see Dennis Morgan and Dorothy Sidlovsky racing toward the finish line. The winner .... the screen has suddenly gone black! Could it be that William Howsare is again conducting his chemistry tests and for the hundredth time has interfered with our connection to Saturn? We'll have to wait until later to find out the winner. The results are now coming in concerning our paratroopers. Oh-h-h! It seems that scientist Eugene Suter forgot that the moon is in the path between Mars and Earth and both paratroopers have fallen into craters on the moon. We are happy to report that they were rescued by Captain Joan Hough and Lieutenants Ronald Ross and Wilmer Jakubek of the Space Patrol. I guess the moon will just have to be moved. Well folks, I find our time is running out. I hope you have enjoyed your visit into the future. I see George Yezek is at the controls of Robert Shaw's time machine ready to propel us back into the year 1955. All set, sir? Here we go-o-o-o-! .11 f ,. X, 'W o lff ' . f f -s 71

CLASS PROPI-IECY YOU ARE THERE Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your news commentator, Willetta Love. Tonite we are transporting you to the newest, the most gigantic, ultra-modern airport of the twentieth cen- tury. The year is 1975. We're off ...... . We are now in the control tower, overlooking the huge, all--glass airport, which was designed by the great engineer, Frank Grabiak. Working at various positions are: Private James Sprinkle, the radar operator, Lieutenant Richard Coffman, the radio operatorg and General George Davis, the overseer. Now landing on the transparent runway, which was constructed by Henry Rose, is the latest thing in Flying Saucers. There's an inscription written on the side of this one. If I can make it out . . . oh, yes! It reads: The F. S. Patti Pytlak. Descending from the saucer is pilot Robert Fada. With him are two of the most distinguished doctors in the Universe, Robert Hays and Rich- ard Etling. These two are now working on a cure for space disease. Their patients, who are suffer- ing from two completely different types of this disease, are Nancy Cunnard and J. R. Espey. The crewmen are now disembarking. I recognize Private John Kenney, rocketeerg Private Wally Lowe, ray-gunner, and Private John Bills, handyman. Leaving the field, we go to .... hold everything! A space ship has just Hashed from no- where and somersaulted across the runway. It must be a woman pilot! Rushing toward the ship on their little jet-powered tricycles are firemen Eric Hodgkiss and Blaine McFadden. Close behind them are nurses Betty Peterson and Dianna Baumann. I was right. Climbing from the ship comes space woman Barbara Shupe. Staggering close on her heels are Jane Dreliszak, Shirley Cunning- ham, and Florence Soforic, none the worse for their accident. I'm sure this incident will be in all the newspapers. The famous photographer of the E. H. H. S. Space News, Sam Davis, and a group of visiting art students: Kay Hollis, Wilfred Fisher, and Ernie Brown, with their teacher, Ira Mullin, have all captured the space wo1nan's plight. I'm afraid the women are in for a reprimand from General William Hallman. I'm now going' to transport you around the field to visit the new shops that have been set up at the airport. Upon entering the first one, we see Regis Melego using a pair of wire clippers on Jerry Eicher's hair. Waiting in line for the new space cut, originated by Jack Antolik, are Joe Skero, inventor of the atomic ray-gun, and Dick Stoner, the Einstein of Agriculture. On the op- posite side of the room we see the Chief Justice of the Universal Court, Peggy Keefer getting her hair lengthened. Elizabeth Potoka, now leaving, had her hair styled according to the new rage. Traveling further down the street we Hnd Philip Weaver's Caffeine Shoppe. His best selling item is the space dog, developed by the expert connoisseur, John Bahurka. This man- size dog is exactly twelve feet long. Competent waitresses, Betty Ann Myers, Shirley Moore. and Gladys Snyder, are moving about the room rendering service at supersonic speed. Oh! Just enter- ing the shop are three well known athletes: William Prinkey, Edith Myers, and Catherine Polanovs- ky. May I have your autographs? Thank you. Sliding fmy goodness, these glass streets are certainly slipperyj past the Space Hop Shop, we catch a glimpse of Clarence Geckle and Leona Stepansky dancing on air to the hit tune of the day, We'll Build an Elevator to the Moon, It's too Far to Walk. This is featured on record by crooner Ronald Fretts. Leaving the Space Hop Shop, we journey across the street toward the Mars Department Store, owned by Irene Hunt and managed by Patty Peterson. On our way we pass Betsy Bair with her nose in a book. Reading again? Let's see. The title is Ye Old Joke Book, author, Donna Karanovich. In the department store, a fashion show is in progress. Mary Ellen Davis, famed Hanover model, is modeling the newest style of women's space suits, designed by Victor Babura. James Miedel, Mr. Universe of '74, is modeling the men's suits designed by Jane Wesche. Returning to the control tower, I notice quite a bit of excitement. Let's see what it's all about. Coming over the wireless, direct from Mars, we hear the familiar voice of Gene Bentz, rov- ing reporter. From what I can gather the President of Mars, Tom Kurimcak, is experimenting on 70
