Then I visited the 21 room apartment of Mr. Clifford Bowers, where I was informed by him that he was now the Heavy Weight champion of the Under- world. He is still as tough as he was in his school days. After dinner I stopped by to see Joy in her tent and Onion Valley where she took in washing for a living. Her tent was lavishly furnished with two orange crates and one duied onion. Around her finger was an old cigar band which an old beau named Mike gave her. As I left her house I continued on to see Stan- ford Ball in his Model A. He was now very bald, but was very gay and sprightly for his age. He was now giving swimming instructions at a wealthy old women ' s place. After leaving Stan ' s I stopped by Rita Cyrus , better known now as Rita La Rue. She is now the Stiptease Artist at the Palace. Her dance was the most exotic in the valley. All in all I had a most exciting time on my earth uip. And now I must return to my brewery on Mars for I have an appointment with Mr. I. W. Harper early in the morning.

Senm pfi linectj By Pat Draut In the year 2, 000 A. D. I decided to take my space ship and go to the planet Earth for a school reunion with my classmates of 1953. As I landed on the school lawn which took up six blocks, I then noticed that the town had grown slighty. It is now about the size of New York. As I climbed from my space ship. I saw coming toward me Joe Knight, in his old 53 Plymouth which had just come from the garage for the 1, 953rd. time. He also had with him his 23 grandchildren. He took me up on Westguard Pass to a place known in my day as Lovers Knob. But now the Lovers don ' t go there, because Joe has a rambling ranch house there now. As we walked in, Carol was dusting off the only furniture they had which was and old auto seat that I recall seeing there while I was still in high school. After visiting them for a while I went to the home of Sharon and Rod Shackleford to have tea. They were very prosperous now, as they owned a Horny Toad farm in Saline Valley. They had a private race track called the California Stetson. After leaving the Shackleford ' s home I stopped at Harley Vincents place of business which was to cut warts off of Dill Pickles. The name of his establish- ment was Harley ' 11 Do It.
