.The day is warm and sunny in the year 1967 and as Mrs. Buettner cruises along in her Jet propelled automobile, she can't help thinking how nice it will be to be back in her old home town of Cottonwood. 5 At the close of her teaching career she moved to an old Spanish villa in the dude ranch country of Nevada and has set herself up in business as advisor to the lovelorn who come there fOr prospective divorces. I After leaving Boise she can't help but notice, every mile, a huge sign pointing to or ad- vertising Cottonwood, now inhabited by l,000,000 people. The huge National Rocket Air- port which sends a hundred rockets a day to every planet in the universe brings most of the people, but in-any others are attracted by the outstanding opportunities open in the city's many new fields of business. Upon arriving at the Airport where she will embark on her journey of the Universe, Mrs, Buettner presses a button which folds her car into a tiny package. After depositing it in her purse she hurries toward the ticket office to buy her ticket. To her surprise, upon reaching the ticket desk, she hnds Paul Schwartz, one of her favorite secretaries back in the Class of l947, is head ticket agent. After a few moments of visiting Paul informs her that Mr. Wlcliay is piloting the 2:15 run today and that if she went on that run, Mr. McKay could tell her of the whereabouts of her favorite class, the Class of l947. She hurries aboard anxious to meet Mr. McKay, but he hasnit come aboard yet. So, after seating herself in a chair close to the door, she takes the opportunity to look over the city. Almost at once she sees the new 600 room school which has replaced the quiet, modest little C. H. S. of 1947. Her memories are quickly forgotten when suddenly she notices the pilot --but to her disappointment it isnit Mr. McKay. But as he draws closer, she realizes it is he-and with a head full of wavy black hair! After greeting her he informes her he has invented a new atomic hair restorer which works wonders on bald heads. As it is time to be off, Mr. McKay asks Mrs. Buettner if she would like to move up front where they could talk of the whereabouts of their favorite class. After he has the ship safely in the air he and Mrs. Buettner settle back for ia long talk. .iWh0lH would you like to hear of first? asked Mr. McKay. Tell me, Mrs. Buettner replied, iiwhat has happened to Ted Hilbert, the Class presidentifu Ted is the famous Adventurer and Explorer of the Nioon. I-le discovered many craters of jewels and priceless minerals. He and his wife and ten children now live high up in the craters of the moon, and sell green cheese to the Moonfolkf' How interesting, replied Mrs. Buettner. l had heard Ted was quite famous for exploring something, but l wasn't just sure of what- And whatever became of his good friend john Turner? ls he in the Universe too, or is he still on earth? He is President of Pradolandf' said Mr. McKay, a tiny country on Mars. Once every month he makes a trip to earth and confers on his country's matters with the President of the United States. Before 'accepting his post as President of Pradoland, he was the one who originated the idea of building the Sl 5,000,00fl.000 dam on upper Cottonwood creek, which now enables huge ocean liners to unload their produce practically at Cottonwoodis front door. Speaking of the dam reminds me of anuther student, Countess Alyce Bieren Mitralski II, who is now the owner of the dam. She has just published her third best seller 'Forever Smokeyf an autobiography of her life. ul had heard, Mrs. Buettner answered, uthat she was back at Cottonwood after her famous husband had mysteriously disappeared. And tell me, where is Cleora Tacke? Prado Pepatas, tae - ta?

5 14... 5' 'M My ..., z.- 11. .wh W. W, . ' I ' '. A' A 'Z 'ff rr vf -ff 532 2:1 fn' ff ' Q.-,Q ,Nfl Mr. McKay replied: She is working alsequel to her famous experiment for controlling Hammus Jodianitis, a tiny bug which insits on eating the moon. She lives one mile below the surface, and comes up for provisions about once a year. As soon as this experiment is finished she can retire for life and settle down on her plantation in southern Georgia and gaze at her prized collection of the I-lammus Jodanitis for the rest of her quiet days. - Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by a slight bump. It was the rocket ship arriving at the Moon. As Mrs. Buettner started to disembark from the plane, her ears were greeted with wild cheers and a blaring fanfare of trumpets. To her utter amazement a handsome man whom she soon recognized to be Lee Roberts, stepped forward and welcomed her to the Moon. l..ee, it appeared, was the leader of the one political machine on the Moon. After a short visit he rushed off to make a campaign speech for, Mrs. Buettner found out later, Clifford Schnider, who was running for assistant mouse catcher in the land of the green cheese. Cliff always wanted to be boss over something, even if it is only mice, Mrs. Buettner amusingly thought. After a brief period of rest and with their space ship again headed into space towards Mars, Mr. McKay and Mrs. Buettner continued their conversation. Suddenly there was a buzz and Mr. McKay lifted a receiver from its hook and listened. FLASH-June Huntley, famous raiser of pedigreed hogs in the Keuterville area has just eloped with Jim Toennis, famous Television Cowboy. It is the tenth marriage for' Mr. Toen- nis and the first for Miss Huntley. Our main wonder now is-will she be another ex in a few weeks or is this the one to last? As no more news is available at the moment we will leave-U I-low interesting, said Mr, McKay as he switched his radio system off. Well, that accounts for all but two of the Class of l947, replied Mrs. Buettner. s'Carol Donnally and Mary Ann Riener are the only ones left. Those two girls-l haven't been able to find any trace of them whatsoever since their graduation. l suppose we'll never know now, Mr. McKay sighed. The remainder of the week they spent flying from planet to planet. At last it was time for the long trek homeward. It was almost time for the reunion of the Senior Class of I947. As their shipload of the Class neared earth, Mrs. Buettner couldn't help wishing she knew the whereabouts of the two girls. Having arrived back in Cottonwood Mrs. Buettner decided to have her hair fixed so she would look presentable at the class reunion. She picked the biggest beauty salon she could find. To her surprise who should be seated at the receiving table but the owner, Carol Donnally. To Mrs. Buettner's delight Carol demonstrated her new hair style which was the present rage of the country. After informing Carol of the reunion to be held, Mrs. Buettner stepped into the street and made her way to the Theater. As she seated herself in a com- fortable seat the show started. The first number on the program was the famous dancing team from the Cottonwood Dancing Academy. Some premonition seemed to tell Mrs. Buett- ner it would be someone she knew and sure enough there was Mary Ann Riener and her handsome partner demonstrating their original Sweethearts Shag. When the number was finished Mrs. Buettner hurried 'backstage to talk with Mary Ann. After removing her wig and combing her silvery locks she and Mrs. Buettner hurried to the School Auditorium where the reunion was already progressing. Yes, Mrs. Buettner thought as she fell exhausted into bed that night, it was indeed a most successful day with all members of my favorite class present for the finest reunion ever held. With those last words she fell into a happy and dreamful sleep. Wada wepmas, W6 - Va?
