CLASS PROPHECY This is your roving reporter, Pat Killmon, bringing you the on-the-spot report of a sight seeing tour to Mars on a new rocket ship, “Cardinal Express”. This ship has been designed by the expert engineering of Christopher and Long, and is piloted by Captain Taylor and Co-Captain Rantz. Among the passengers are the famous soap¬ box opera singer .... Mary Ann Hall; world renown orator ....... Dempsey Bruton; chic fashion designer.Lou Lambden; and the scientist Jim Pronier. The trip is being made more pleasant by the gracious stewardess Betty Bloxom, and seemingly before the trip has begun we have landed on the planet Mars. We’re putting on our oxygen masks and leaving the ship very anxiously. The housing development on Mars is new, but it is growing very fast. As we walk down main street, we notice some of Mars’s most promising enterprises. . . . “Starlite Salon” run by Mmes. Broadwater and Byrd, “Adams’s Garage”, “Campbell’s Super Market”, “Lang’s Shave and Hair- Cut Shoppe” and a fashionable dress shop operated by those Bailey girls from Horntown. I see on a billboard where there’s a thrilling stock car race tonight starring women dri¬ vers-and who should be racing but my former classmates Sara Taylor and Vir¬ ginia Jordon. I always thought they had a knack for racing. Oh, where’s the crowd going? Let’s follow and see! Why here’s “Hurricane Britt”. She has just won another trophy for racing in her speedy boat “Our Baby III”. Her childhood training has paid off. It’s almost time to go back to the ship, but we would like to see more of Mars. As we turn down Heavenly Blv., we are almost knocked down by Vincent Mariner, whose wife has the rolling pin again. Around a meteor rock we see a large sign reading: See the planet Earth. . . . Wonderful Scenery .... Old Friends. Well, this certainly is a switch looking thru a telescope at Earth instead of all the stars. There is just enough time for a quick glimpse. I am paying my dollar, and quickly adjusting the telescope to my Old Aimer Mater A.H.S. I see many changes that have taken place in 10 years. Mrs. Justice is still teaching English, but I do see some new faces on the faculty. Mary Jane is Mr. Justis’s secretary. Wrendo Mears is teaching Agriculture and is turning out ace farmers. Carolyn Chesser is teaching Home Economics. ... no more burnt biscuits! The “Cardinals” are still the top football team, and they are being ably coached by Bob Sparrow. The “Little Cardinals”, too, are a championship team, and I suppose all the praise should be given to their coach, the old veteran, Frances Moore. The school looks spic and span due to the wonderful care given it by the janitor, “Rick” Coffin. As I admire the beautiful farmlands of the Shore, I can’t decide which is the better looking. . . . “Matthews Manor” or Bradley’s Pleniful Acres”. Saxis is still on the map! Billie Marshall and Shirley Bundick make pretty nurses, and the clinic they founded on the island has helped everyone. Charles makes his home at Saxis, but he isn’t there very often for he is busy traveling with the Ringling Bros. Circus. No time to see more, for it’s time to go back to ship. Now we’re on our way again. Look there is the Milky Way! Why, I do believe that’s Billie Miles .... and she is milking a cow. She and her husband George have an up-to-date dairy farm. I hear that Buddy Hodge delivers their milk daily to Mars. A nice set-up! Now we’ve arrived at the Washington Airport! It has been a wonderful trip, but now I have another problem. How can I cover two big news spots tonight, both happening at the same time? What are they? Why, the two top heavy-weight fighters of the century--“Powerhouse Shannon” versus “Mighty Mo Markland” are battling for the title tonight. Then out in Griffith Stadium, the Washington Redskins play the Pittsburgh Steelers. And who would want to miss seeing those razzle dazzle “touchdown twins”, “Big Bob” Miller and “Choo Choo” Justice play! Thus ends the trip thru space. It was nice seeing the class of ’55, wasn’t it?
