lass I can remember it all quite clearly. It was 'way back in 1972. One sprin dav the news spread that there had been an uranium strike on tllne olanet jupiter. The government was willing to sunport any organized mining colony. The following week the class of '52 met at the funeral of Mr. Eckard. There it was suggested bly' Emma Lu Whilsen, the wit, that our class organize the colony. d Hartz was willing to donate part of his fleet of merchant rocket ships: Gene Roebuck, the grocery store Robber Baron, laid in the supplies and the class of '52 blasted off. We only had two ships. which were ouite big for this day. ,lim Nolan and Charlie Yaltubik were our pilots. Venus Haas and Pat Dando acted as radarphone operators between the ships so we could keep in contact. An hour after we landed on Jupiter the portable housing units. designed by Phyllis Thornton, were set up. The engineering crew went to work la ing out the plans for the mine. The crew consisted of ,lohn Miller, Ed Edminister. and George Brandon. There was quite a bit of discussion about what form of government we should set un. Jen'y Hayes, the ex-boss of Chicago, and his right hand man, Jim Boing, insisted on present- ing the good points of Facism, It was decided, however, to have a city council, of which Ed Simpson was elected head, and Gene Teater became secretary. Joyce Slusser bebcame the publisher of the first all-girl newspaper. Pat Sallleed was the editor-in-chief, Marian Measelle was the gos- sip editor, Shirley Walter and Joann Hughes were conyboys, or, as they become known as later, copycats. Doris Richards and Joanne Morris ran the presses. Beth Finzer and Anna Mae Hutchinson were newsboys, delivering the scandal sheet to homes. A week after we landed things were running quite smoothly. The miners worked in teams. There was fierce competition between the teams of Earl Flower, Jim Madick and George Ball, and that of jack Moneypenny, Lawrence Brookes, and John Sands. They were working for the Acker Uranium Corporation. Also working or the Acker Corporation as chief money counters were Carol Hinzman and Shirley Witwer. joe Saob did the company's advertising art. Another fast rowing industry was the Ken Boing Yogurt Com- pany, where OsEar was the general manager, and Bob Simpson was the vice-president in charge of nothing. Chief bottle washers in the gogaxrt factory were Marilyn Major, Pat Nevling, and Marilyn ar ner. vii. L41 Prophecy At the high school, of which Bob Erwine was superintendent, Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Hubbard lshc's the former Charlotte Stewart! Mr. and Mrs. ,lim Vaughan lshe's the former jean Vlcekl, and Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Cochran fshe's the former Barbaba Youngl, gave home life instruction. Also, at the school, Ken Eshleman was coach and Gene Wolgamuth was, of course, in charge of janitorial services. Getting back.to the government, at the head of the supreme court was Dencll Moore. His first case was a dispute presented by lawyer, Harold Sanders. It seemed that Ted Allman had been slyly taking Bob Tolson's refined uranium. At the head of the trafic court was Bill Sheets, who after cautioning Ed Jones about having no muiller on his rocket ship, fined Janet Cormany S300 for runniing into Marilyn Major's new gyrorocket. Then, if I remember correctly, it wasn't too long until Faye Willis started her reform movement, with the result that Tom johnson's 480 Club, with Marvin Dobbins' and Richard Bartoe'l nickle-matching parlor, was closed down. This put bartender, Leroy McCurry out of a job. Everyone was encouraged to go to Lorraine Elliot's Tea Shoppe. I did go there cuite often. The hat check girl was Marlene Myers, and chefs, Paul Bamett and Charlotte War- ren, were the best to be had, Norma StaulTer, Pat Alexich. Lola Sowards, and Shirley' Russell made up the waitresses' staff. The en- tertainment was a s ow emceed by jerry Wemtz and featured Bill Cox as a comedian. Bob Brown and his bass drum solo, a uar- tette. The Four lokers, made up of Lowell Potts, Don Pine,tlJiclt Miller and Bill Brown, and naturally Twinkletoes Dreisbach high- lighted the show. This place was a bi success, and the owner had to hire Pat Smith and Lois Miller to help separate the twenty dol- lar bills from the fifties. Then there was a tie between Susie Plum and Gerry Pohner for Miss Average Secretary of jupiter. About this time geologist, Jerry Stokes, discovered oil on the tur- nip farm owned by Hattie Guthrie, and later he discovered molten glass on Vivien Exler's farm. The three of them got together with legal counsellor, Joanne Richards and advertising agent, Corliss Erder and made a fortune selling bottled oil. Pat Tomer's dance studio opened about then and forced Arthur Murray out of business. Up till now. Steve Csonka had been sending back to Earth daily reports by radar. Dave McQuaide, who was backed by the Ramon Underwood Rocltetship Coma n invented the first interplanetary telephone. The first news we heard over it was that Mary Ann Potts' latest movie had been a big hit with everybody on Earth, and I hope this will be a big hit with YOU.
