CLASS PROPHECY In the year 1975, I, Curtis Grinnell, meteorologist, am returning to my home on the Moon. As I board the space ship, I meet Lois Boon, stewardess, who is going for- ward to speak to Captain Hart Goldsmith, pilot of our Lunar Liner. Captain Goldsmith later tells me that the space ship was designed and built for Spaceways Airlines Unlimited by Steven Foster and Jim Tompkins, famous engineers. As I ring for the stewardess to bring me some moon Juice, who should appear but Georgia Dusterdieck who is also stewardess of the ship. In turning around, I see Catherine Ramsey, foreign correspondent who makes regular trips from the Moon to Earth. I also see Philip Heckel, scientist, whose research has helped make life on the Moon possible. As we land on the Moon, I notice posters inside the terminal which were drawn by Sarah Couch and Susan Ewell, com ercial artists. I buy a copy of the Moon Gazette and read that Tom Dalbey and Sam Halaby have started their own law firm, On the fol- lowing page I read that Tom Dunsmuir has been selling plastic houses on the Moon which have proved far superior to wooden ones. Later, I make a visit to the new hospital and meet Drs. Erwin Gifford and Kenneth Stewart, and their nurse assistants vBiffy Commisso, Carole Odell and Betsy Wilson. I also meet Dr. Terry Touchton, head surgeon at the hospital. I end up my tour of the hospital in the East wing, which is taken up by therapy. I meet the head of it, Andy Rowland, Occupational Therapist. As I return to my home I see a dress shop which is run by Stanley Moress, the famous designer of Moon Modes Incorporated. Nearby, Dr. Fred Hughes, Orthodontist, has formed his own dental clinic. And to my amazement I see that Dr. Bill Dietz, veterinarian, has recently moved to the Moon to study moon animals.
