PRCPH E CY .ll L e 1115116 -. 2 i ii 1951 In the year of 2001 the Junior Class of 1950-1951 held a special meeting. Intex-planetary strife had taken its toll of the populatim and an incurable d1seaselHepoglutish1cJ had also caused the death ofndlhonm But, as the meeting got under way, all eighteen were present. The meeting was about an hour old when there was a loud roaring noise. Three red and yellow Plutoniom space intercepters zoomed over the meeting place. A second later they were back, seeing a few of the Earth humans, one of the intercepters swooped down and burned the par- ty to cinders. The meeting was broken up, but not for long. A strong wind swept up the ashes of the eighteen unfortunates, and took us into the world beyond. The wind kept blowing until we ashes were at the pearly gates Who should we meet there but Theresa Schaefer taking instructions from St. Peter. She gave us the explanation that women were running every- thing else so St. Peter decided that he would find an able assistant among the feminine gender to take his place. Theresa also explained that the big wind was none other than Betty Mines. She gave a loud yo-ho and here came Betty with her wind turned off. She talked sonmch that she blew us right into the heavenly kingdom. Farther on we came to another set of doors. A sign on one of the doors said, WSEE THE SIGHTS OF HEAVENH. It said that for a short prayer we could go anywhere and see anything. At the bottom of the sign it said, NCLARK TRAVEL AGENCYN. we went in and found a very pretty girl sitting at a desk. It was Mona Clark. We asked and learned that she and Sterling were killed at the same time so after gaining entranc e and seeing how slow transportation was they founded the Travel Agency. They replaced the old-fashioned wings with small jets which were much faster than wings. She told us to sit down and wait until Ster- ling came back with the group of sightseers he had taken out a favhaus ago. In about an hour Sterling came back. We strapped on our jetsand off we went. Since we were special customers, Sterling decided to give us our prayers worth and show us everything. We were gliding low and mmdng very slowly, about 200,000 miles a minute, when we saw something that looked very interesting. A very old hut. Wondering why such an old, run-down hut would be in Heaven we stop- ped to investigate its ruins. Inside the hut we found all the neces- sary equipment for an artist. While we were exploring the other rooms, an old, bedraggled woman came in. She sat down disgustedly. Not seeing us at first, she asked what we were doing at her mansion. From other things she said we figured that she must be a little on the crazy side. When we went outside, Sterling asked us if we knew who she was. We told him we had never seen her before. He laughed and said it was Rene'Bmm, a classmate of his and ours. Finally realizing this we went back and

As we entered we were suprised to see such a large room, but also to our suprise it was completely empty, except for a large woman, she had her back to us. The manager said that this lady would show us how the kitchen operated. At this comment the lady turned around and faced us. Someone and something about this woman looking like Darlene Heiser, but she didn't hear us and we laughed it off. After seeing how the kitchen operate d one of us asked the name, and much to our suprise she said nDarlene He- iser.u We stayed and talked a while before leaving. After we left we went to our rooms and slept the night through. As far as the Juniors were concerned, the fatal thing that had happened was not so awful, because the aim of the meeting had been ful- filled except for one person. Irma Ganzel. Sometime during the night, we heard the manager of the hotel yell at someone to quit sliding down the banister of the stairs, and a wee voice answered him to try and stop her. Some time later after muchxmre shouting we piled out of bed to see who or what made all the noise . We asked the manager what caused all the commotion. He said it was a small old lady called nThe Irk'. He said she was the meanest person in Heaven. He was shocked to hear that we wanted to meet her but we explained that now that we were here she may not be the worst. We found her per- ched high up in a tree eating the golden fruit. When we saw her we knew right then that it was Irma. When we called her right name, she came down and talked with us for some time. When she wasn't looking the manager grabbed her and gn - bed her and locked her in a small room until she repented. Thus our exploring of the Heavenly kingdom came to an end. We found complete happiness in our new home in Heaven. - l
