PROPH ECY The 25th of May 1975 A.D., the distinguished members of Archbold High, Class of 54 , met at Milky Way Field, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A., North American Continent at 1100 homes for the prespace dinner at the luxurious Mars Room in preparation for the first trip to Planet X. This notable assembly was greeted by Captain Edward Lauber, manager of the largest Space Ships' Incorporated, and his charming wife Oksana Holian. A tour of the space station was conducted by Jerry Grime and his pleasing assistant, Marjorie Fiser. Much to our amazement at the fabu- lous discovery of Skyhooks by Professor James L. Buehrer and Roy Schott, we were informed that the invisible Robot, attaching these devices to cosmic rays was designed and assembled by Wabet Woth alias Robert Roth. At our next stop we inspected the Atomic Pile which was being cooked under the di- rection of the eminent Dr. Ralph Croninger with the assistance of his partner Avon Einstein Roth. Fear- ing possible radiation injuries, we walked on to the commissary, where we were pleased to find Mary Winzeler and Betty Nicolen in charge of the Anti- radiation unit. Their assistant in Pharmacy was none other than our own Eileen Beaverson. Walking across the field to the office we saw Lowell Rufenacht, Paul Stuckey and Gene Waidelich loading the space ship for the air-lift to Planet X. We were the dinner guests of Major General Bill Kernig of the space patrol and his lovely wife, CoNette Nofzinger, in- vited us to be their guests at the popular Gluckstein's Cafe. Shrimp A la Murbach, so named after the universally famous Doctor Edwin Andrew Murbach, inventor of the multi-constellation air-suit, con- stituted the main course of the dirmer. Chef-de -cuisine, Ruth Ann Terrell, prepared the savory food aided by her culinary staff member, Mary Kunkle, famed for her homemade Lasagne Ripiene. Co -workers, Helen Wlasuik, consultant on home- making and gardening, and Dorothy Gearig, the originator of inner-space recipes contributed their epicurean abilities. During the dinner, the super-sonic nationally known quartet, Gene Rupp, Charles Riegsecker, Everett Wyse and Roger Miller entertained and one of the featured numbers was Junior's Rocket Rag Uunior Gautschej composed by Ethel Traut fwho was inspired when she sat on the East fire escape of Arch Hi and observed the sun rise.J Preceding the last course of our very delicious dinner we had the plea- sure of hearing Madame Mary Wlasuik, one of our esteemed classmates who generously contributed to the program by singing her favorite Aria from Sa- brina Fair. Joe Doisey Crossgrove and his orchestra accompanied her. During the Grand Finale, more fa- miliar faces appeared. Donna Ruffer, Mary Lou Ruf- fer, Sue Young, and Jim Clingaman, members of the sensational Spacetts on a planetary tour from the R.C. Atomic Space Station in New York added gla- mour to the festivity. At the close of the program, Captain Edward Lauber presented Carolyn Grieser, the head -waitress, with the Planetary Platinum Award for her outstanding achievement in catering and dining service. To no one's surprise Shirley Graf, the Women's Society Editor ofthe PETER PAN HA NDI- CAP, and writer of the special column Advice to the Love Loin announced a miraculous romantic event, the engagement of Ethel Meck and James Schmucker who had enjoyed the courtship of twenty- six years. We were interrupted by the super -sonic communication system announcing flight of Ship Polaris to Planet X. Aswe were being escorted to the flight deck, we passed the beauty salon and whom did we see but Mona Roth entrusting the arrange- ment of her coiffure to the deft hands of Jeannine Red Croninger once famous for her freckle re- mover. Upon entering the Rocket Polaris, stewardess Elaine Grieser conducted us to our private compart- ment and gave us instructions regarding the preflight take off. Introductions to the personnel followed. We were elated when we discovered Pilot Lowell Flory and his co -pilot Roger sure -shot Schantz discussing the course with navigator Keith Short who was swear- ing with tears in his eyes and lamenting the death ofthe fair maiden mettor.Incidentally, the pseudonym on the bow of the ship of Pilot Lowe11's Ship was Flipper's Flapper . Looking out our window we saw none other than Kenneth Fankhauser busily writing the description of the first flight to Planet X for the headlines in the INTERNATIONAL CHASE REVIEW. As blast offtime drew nearer, cancellations became more frequent untilonly two fearless passengers were left on the list. Who were they? You guessed it! Su- zanne Stuckey and Barbara Rich. Now the blast off- utter darkness-pain, pain-oh pain, sans sight-sans mind -suddenly awareness returned with the jolt of the landing. Victory! I The first arrivals of Planet X! -Cautiously, we descended, testing the air with ca- naries. Freezel! Off to the left--a white blue -We flashed a light--a sign-- Welcome to Planet X--- Try our coffee shop--Hallmark Cards sold here. --- proprietor NORMAN WINGA RD.
