gl IB :gala 6 5 . ff i 2 -2, g XM' 1 ll68ff When we arrive at Blairstown, we stop in to see Judy Ackerson who owns a modern, all-girl factory in which she manufacturers jeeps especially built for girls. They are a beautiful shade of blue, and she calls them Judy's Cuties. To our surprise we find Robert Sandberg, that shy and reserved boy from the Class of 58 in charge of the painting department. Bob shows the girls how to paint the jeepsg and he tells us that he just loves his work. We stop at the theatre to see Michael Simonetti tJames Dean ID, who is appearing in person. We are almost trampled by a group of screaming girls who are trying to obtain his autograph. Roger DePuy, who is at the top of the hit parade with his new Rock-It Music, is going to appear next week. Next, we drive out toahuge garage at the end of town which is owned by James Brown. James is the nation's top sports car driver, but he works at the garage in his spa-re time helping the local boys to build hotrods. We drive to New York to visit with Bruce Christian, who teaches wise sayings and jokes to comedians. Bruce is a very popular hurnorist and appears on many leading television shows. While in New York we visit with Marge Kreger, who is the head brain specialist in New York City's largest hospital. After leaving New York, we drive to Florida to visit with Elaine Burdge. Elaine is a dietitian who helped develop many of our present food supplies from seaweed and sawdust. She tells us that she loves Florida and wrestles alligators for a hobby. Our next stop is in Texas where we visit with Robert Benbrook, who owns hundreds of oil wells. Bob retired when he was twenty-five and is just taking life easy. We drive over to the neighboring ranch to visit with Duane Nolder. Duane owns a large night club in California, but he spends most of his time on the ranch. He certainly did not change much in the past ten years, because his favorite hobby is still collecting pretty girls. We return to Blairstown and board our rocket. We are going to stop over in France to visit Mary Jane Katzenstein, who is the leading hair stylist in Paris. She creates hair styles for French Poodles. Our reunion with the members of the Class of 1958 proved to be a pleasant and memorable experience. We are returning home with a feeling of satisfaction that the Class of '58 has found their niche in a complex society. Page Twenty one

'Sa' QM' S' . .. , x- ATL 5 ff- ' r - 'T' A17 -lx . .1 ' . PROJE C T It is a beautiful June morning in the year 1968 as we blast off from Vanguardia Field aboard the magnificent new rocket, Cloud 9. We watch the surface of the moon disappear and then sit back and relax. Everyone is excited because we are going to visit our friends from the Class of 58. We travel for approximately two hours and then start to descend rapidly. As we look out of the windows, we see the landing field of the new space station rushing up to meet us. After landing, we remain in our seats forfurther instruc- tions. Our pilot, James Sprague, enters the lounge and greets us with a friendly smile. Jim designed Cloud 9 and is the head pilot for La Jupiter Solar Lines. He gives us a brief schedule, and then we descend to the landing field. We are greeted by Joyce Van Scoten who recently received the title Queen of Space. Joyce is our ambassador of Good Will to the planet Venus. She leads us to the Planetary Building where we receive a warm welcome from Gerald Bufis, who is the editor of the Universal Press.Gerald looks very dignified with a small mustache and slightly gray temples, and it is very easy to see why he was chosen Best Dressed Man of the Year. We visit with our friends for an hour and then leave for earth to see the rest of the members of the class. On our way, we enjoy our favorite space programs and eat a very tasty dinner of deep-fried seaweed with algae soup and have a delicious sawdust molasses cake for dessert. We land at a huge rocket field which is owned by Ruth Blunt. Ruth walks out to meet us, followed by five dogs and about fifteen cats. Ruth loves animals, although she is widely known for her successful game hunts in Africa. Ruth shot a fifteen- ton elephant and two lions on a recent safari to Africa besides some other small game. While at the rocket field we visit with Guy Bennett, who is preparing to blast off in his rocket, Gardenia. Guy was recently contracted to landscape the entire moon. We decide to drive to Blairstown, and on our way we stop in at Brice Christian's huge farm. Brice raises dry cows and is the nation's leading producer of powdered milk and dry beef. While there we visit with Blair Smith who is Brice's manager. Blair has been elected the nation's top tractor driver. As we drive along the modern electric highway to Blairstown, abulletin announces the return of Eloise Gebhart, the President of the United States, from her recent trip to Russia. Page Twenty
