PROPHECY The crystal ball begins to turn as the Voice of Prophecy speaks. The years race forward -- 1956 - '57 - '60 - '63 - '65 - '66. Time pauses; the prophetic voice reveals the year — 1966. The first expedition to plant a colony of earthlings on Mars is about to embark. The world waits with baited breath as the zero hour approaches when the daring group of forty-six volunteers launch out into space on this new adventure. Most of the world have the opinion that the adventurers are nothing short of maniacs and they scoff at the absurd idea of a colony oh Mars. Nevertheless, the braveclan, heedless of the jeers of the world, complete last minute preparations and board the space ship. Ah I The crystal ball becomes clear and we now recognize the adventurers. Ironic as it may seem—the entire group is none other than the Drexel High School Graduation Class of 1956. Eddie Ross, awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery in the AirCorps, will pilot the expedition. His crewconsists of firstand second co-pilots. Gene Berry and Gary Cozort respectively; navigator, Ted Reece, Uncle Sam's pride and joy; air hostess, Grace Ross; mechanics, Lee Roy Epley, Jerry Berry, Howard Trumble; and Jimmy Reece to man the radar bridge. Look! The passengers are now approaching. There's Dr. Wilburn Berry, Jr., PhD., B.S., M.S., S.A.P., and veterinary, followed by his staff: three lovely nurses, AlbaBaird, DorisO'Kelly, Regina Crawley; dietician, Rheba Self; and lab technicians, Barbara Goodnight and Marie Cook. The engineers are next. Atomic Energy Engineer, David Baker; Chemical Engineer, Bobby McNeely; Electrical Engineer, Bobby Moore; andCommunications Engineer, Donald McCall. Is that h i s beloved edition of the 1956 CAVALCADE tucked under his arm? He seems rather attached to that little volume I There's Dr. Jessie Conley, geologist, and Dr. Charles Brown, botanist and zoologist. Look at all the celebrities! The world famous movie star, the It girl of ‘66, Miss Mable Bradshaw, poses for photographers with her producer, Mr. Bob Walker. Reporters now gather around Maxine Cooper, Nobel Prize Winner, noted author and editor of the World News. As cameras flash, J. Edgar's right-hand man, Claude Sitton, joins the group with his charming and efficient secretary, Linda Berry. Fabulous T. V. Producer, Ray Amos, is now arriving with two stars of the Metropolitan Opera, Marlene Baker and Van Ramsey. Andnow-- the world's champion figure skater, Shirley Deal. Next, the most expert big game hunters in the world, Billy Warlick and Rodney Woodie, andalso, renown artist, David Griffin, and designer, Geraldine D eal, who returned from Paris to make this trip. Wayne Bumgarner, Coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who has won the pennant for five consecutive years, approaches. It seems he receivedan anonymous letter with one-way re servations for this trip. You don't suppose that anonymous was spelled Y-A-N-K-E-E-S ??? Look I Here comes Irene Bowman, woman athlete, who just swam the English Channel. Not even on Mars will one be able to escape education because teachers, HelenCampbell, Katheleen Deal, Ann Hoover, and Professor Perre 11 Self, just boarded the ship. Then Horace Powel I, barber, and Martha Reece, beautician. Oh, yes I There's Martha Sigmon waving good-bye. She was the lucky winner of the Sudsy Soap contest. Firstprize—a trip to Mars! Well, well I Paul Lai I, travel ing salesman, carrying his suitcase of Fuller brushes. He is the forty-fifth and apparently the last to board the ship. Everything seems ready for the take off now. Butwhat's this?? The hostess looks puzzledl There were forty- six in that graduating c lass and only forty-five boarded the space ship! Who is that running toward the ship??? Why it's none other than Paul Dean. Uh-huh. Late as usual I! ! The hostess is now boarding theship. The heavy doorcloses. The anticipated zero hour has arrived. Pffffft. There they go. Bon voyage! The crystal ball is dark once more and the Voice of Prophecy is silent. To whomever it may concern! The Class Prophet left Yesterday------------------for PLUTO!
