flop With our arrival at the space station mid- way between Earth and the moon, We find that many of our old classmates are employed at various positions. One of the first persons we meet is Connie Leinweber, the social director for the space station. Connieis job is to plan rec- reation for people stationed there. She will show us around the space station and explain the various functions of the station to us. In the radar room we find Ken Adams. Ken will track our flight to our destiny, the moon. In the weather room Elzie Ferringer and Ver- non Doverspike, experts in agriculture, are studying the effects of outer space on Earth's vegetation. In the health room is Maxine Jami- son, the stationls psychologist, reading a long lyric poem by Mr. Baker, extolling our many successes. Judy Lloyd, now a registered nurse, is completing the physical examination of Connie Rupp and Frances Kammerdiener in preparation for flight to the moon. Bob Troup, the physical education director, is busy keeping the crew in shape. While enjoying a few leisurely moments before taking OH again, we picked up a copy of the Outerspace Gazettef' from the copy boy, Alvin Deemer. The Gazette is edited by Ioanne McMeans and assisted by Fred Rosenberger. On the social page we notice the wedding an- nouncements of Kay Rupp, Pauline Bussard, and Carrie Galbraith. Tom Brice has been given a iob as a physical therapist in a New York Hospital. Ada Duncan, court reporter for Sen- atorial hearings, had just released the latest in- formation concerning the Kleck investigation committee, to the press. Valjean Kline, court reporter for the Gazette, covered the hearings for the paper. if QC? The intercom blasts out, We will blast off in fifteen minutesf, With the addition of passen- gers from the space station, our crowded ship proceeded on its way to the moon. Through the port side of the rocket we see the moon gradually grow clearer and soon we are landing our space ship on the landing pad. As we land on the moon, we are just in time to see Darrell Shirey crossing the finish line and receiving a winning kiss from Miss Universe Alma Mathews. Darrel has just established a new lunar speed record of three light years per minute. We are escorted to the metropolis by the two space cadets, Donald Nelson and Don Rob- inson, along with their platoon sergeant, Bob Silvis. - Bob has informed us that Larry McLaughlin is now undergoing special training for a test flight to Venus. On our way to the metropolis, we pass a branch of the Templeton Refractories Company. Glen Sharrer is acting as general foreman in the new plant. Our route takes us past the metropolis post office and our eyes fall upon a Wafv poster. Upon further investigation we find Sgt. Made- lyn Maurer, recruiter for the Wafs, trying to persuade Virginia Simmers to enlist. We finally arrive at the community center which is to house our reunion. Nylene Bashline, a successful secretary, distributed our copies of the class poem. Betty Lou Williamson, the music teacher at Shannock Valley, led our class in the singing of our class song. After an afternoon of fun that was actually gout of this world,', we sadly said farewell to our friends. Before returning to our space ship, how- ever, we did promise to get together again in the near future.

,Zola ec? The new experimental launching site has just been completed at Cape Dublin along Glade Run. In charge of rocket launching operations is Dr. Werner von Wilson. Dr. Wilson is ably assisted by Richard Stiteler, head of the atomic fuels research team. The first rocket to be fired at the new launching site will be the D. H. S.- 58.', The 58 was designed by Bob Jamison and manufactured by the Williamson Rocket Corporation. Ralph and Raymond have acquired considerable wealth through the discovery of uranium on their jointly owned farm. The purpose of this flight is to rocket,, the class of 1958 from Dayton Joint High School to the moon for a reunion. This is the first time the class will have been together since our graduation ten years ago. Along with the Williamson boys, Richard Sherry, multi- millionaire oil tycoon is helping to finance the excursion. The crew is now boarding the ship in prep- aration for the flight. Our chief mechanics are Charles Miller, Bill McKee, and Dale Farster. Acting as stewardesses are Rosalie Rupp and Peggy Hyskell. Plotting our course is our chief navigator john Kammerdiener. The loading ramp is now in place and the passengers are coming aboard.

Coming through the port side of the ship is Nancy Marshall, district manager of the Echo Branch of the Dayton Banking System. The passengers are soon aboard and we blast,' off: our destination, the Earth space sta- tion. We had been in flight for some time when Don Dinger got hungry. The thought of food was appealing to all of us, so we went to the ship's cafeteria. Our enormous appetites were satisfied by the fine lunch prepared by Garnet Hollenbaugh, Joyce Wolfe, and Patty Preteroti. After the meal Nancy Hallman, the publi- city agent for the Hallman Feed Company, had a conference with Janet Comman. a commercial artist. Nancy was briefing Janet on the new ad- vertising scheme for Wayne Tail Curler. jim Barrett our communications man, is now contacting space station in preparation for landing.
