appeared without leaving a forwarding address. The next two members on the list were Cheri Gardner and Catherine Mayes. The surprising thing about these two members of the class is the fact that they had given up their scientific work and had become housewives. Their scientific training had manifested itself, however, because they kept experimenting with new baby formulas for their children. Each had 12. A candy factory was the next destination of the people making the survey, and in checking their list, they found Mary Ann Way, Mary Frances Benham, Deanna Plummer, and Jo Ann Karger busily making candy suckers and discarding them. The survey people asked what was being accomplished, and Mary Ann told them that the group had spent years working on a candy sucker that would never wear out. Success had eluded the group up to that time, but they figured their efforts would soon succeed because their candy suckers made awfully good canoe paddles. Of course, right at the moment, the market was over-stocked with canoe paddles. The government people left the candy factory to cover their next assignment in the survey. As they reached the street, newsboys were selling an Extra” proclaiming the disappearance of two scientists. It was soon learned that Hershel Mosier and Jim Whitaker had been successful in building a flying submarine, but on a test flight they had tried to submerge in Mount Fujiyama and Fuji erupted at that instant and up went submarine and inventors. This had happened the day before and the submarine had not come down. The next laboratory visited found Amparo Garcia, Bertha Sanchez, and Dolores Sandoval completing years of work on a new medicine that would cure all stomach ailments. Of course the three dogs they had tried it on had all died, but the ladies were not discouraged. They had named their potion, Kickapoo Joy Juice. In the rear of this same laboratory the survey people found three more members of the Class of 56 working on a new type of perfume. It was a strange odor that led to the location of Vickie Padilla, Irene Lucero, and Gertie Torrez. When finally it was found, it was revealed that these three had perfected a new perfume for catching men. The perfume had been named The Osculation.” When asked what strange powers it had, the girls explained that it caused , . . an anatomical juxtaposition of two orbicular muscles in the state of contraction.” Put into plain language this meant, a kiss.” Noticing smoke drifting in from the street, the government people went out to investigate and learned that a hot rod driver had invented a car that threw up a smoke screen that paralyzed the police. The survey people had a feeling that they should find these inventors because they probably were on their list. Sure enough, when the police revealed their names, they were Harvey Major, Jim Mahan, and Bob Dean. Skid row was the next destination on the survey, for that was the address of Tony Alvarez, Luis Corona, Raymond Montoya and Benny Sandoval. When last heard of some years previously, it was learned that these four had formed a partnership to perfect a substance that would change the spots on playing cards. When they were found, the four of them were in a terrific argument. While playing poker, all four had come up with four aces. You know,” said one of the survey men, I think these four guys have been successful in their experiment. But what are they going to do with it?” The survey was nearly over with only two names remaining on the list. However, no matter how hard the government people searched, they could not find the last two members of the class. Finally, in desperation, they returned to Williams High School to see if they could learn where these two characters could be found. Lo and behold! They found the two lost members, Tom Augenstein and David Cox. Mr. Zeiger was old and gray, but he still had Tom and David in Civics and was just about ready to pass them on despite their 25 average in the course. Mr. Zeiger told the investigators that he was ready to let them take over the course because he was old and tired. They should know it, he said; they've had the course 31 times.” I d write some more about this class, but my typewriter is about worn out, and because where I am they won't let us have sharp objects.
