SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Here it is 1979, and this is my very first trip to Mars. That alone is enough to thrill me to pieces, but to top all the excitement the members of the Class of ’62 are holding a reunion on Mars. We had a little trouble in the engine of our souped-up power rocket before we started, but that was quickly fixed by North Bates, the most prominent engine expert in the U.S. Petrea Green and Sally Gotham are my fellow passengers. I just learned that Sally is Gen. Gary Willmart’s private secretary. General Willmart worked with air force expert Kenny Hill to plan the first non- stop flight to Mars--ours. Petrea is the private secretary of Dale Rex- ford, esquire, the master architect who has designed the new govern- ment buildings on Mars. Suddenly a meteor strikes our ship, and Susan Marden, our pretty hostess, rushes back to see if everyone is all right. The calm voice of our pilot, Kenny Perkins, is heard over the loudspeaker as he assures us that the ship is under control. Sue also acts as Kenny’s secretary on non-flight days. Jane Gotham, the official planet spotter, excitedly announces that we are approaching Mars. A deafening roar is heard, and we, the passen- gers, find ourselves scattered amid, the rubble of our wrecked ship. I see a whole squad of nurses approaching. Linda Selleck arrives first at the scene, and quickly she revives our pilot. Close behind her are Betty Buckley and Iona Clark. Nurses Betty Mae Hutchinson and Kathy Long rush into the scene carrying a weird assortment of various colored needles. Nurse Sharon Phillips arrives in time to save us from the jabs of these strange weapons. Doctor Ed Fuhr announces that we’ll all live. We’re just a little shaken up he says. We pull ourselves together just in time to see Major Terry Hiter marching up followed by a squad of obedient green Martians. Kathy Miller, the chief interpreter, greets us for them and for herself. She tells us how surprised she was to find that Martians speak Latin! Quickly we are whisked away to Wishington, E.C., the Capitol of Mars. Imagine our surprise when we find that our old classmate, Duncan Mackey is the first President of Mars ! They say that Lynn Whitcomb is the busiest executive in Wishington, but he looks as happy and carefree as ever to us. Carolyn Bonner, President Mackey’s chief and private secretary tells us that Warren Thomas has started show business on Mars. His award-winning telebillion show is entitled “Wishington Wooers”. Connie Wood is about the happiest math teacher I’ve ever seen, as she teaches little Martian children the principles of trigono- metry. It didn’t take me long to accept her offer to teach them history. Well, golly! Obviously, we’re all here for good'. H ijsgjg! ill 22
