I have just been reminded that I have failed to mention another person who has played an important part in bringing about this trip. That person is Wanda Laird. She is co- owner-operator of the interplanetary Sunbeam Aero Truckline running between the earth and the moon with headquarters at Eads, Colorado. These aerotrucks are powered by sunbeams and therefore reduce the cost of fuel. I am told. Miss Laird is, at this very moment, landing her 150 aerotruck squadron on Runways 13, 14 and 15. She is bring- ing in supplies from the moon which are needed for the trip. Just a moment, folks, something is taking place at Gate 5!! Let's see if we can see what it is. A long, white Cadillacard has stopped at the Gate and a man and woman have alighted. It looks as if--just a moment--Word has just been given me that this is Joyce Woodcock and David Baxter, the doctor and nurse that are to be taken on the trip. As they come closer to the control tower I see they are wearing the newly adopted multi-colored uniforms of the medical profession. These uniforms are believed to be of value to the patient by offering more color interest than the old-fashion white and thereby keeping the patient interested in other things besides his sickness which in turn speeds his recovery. These suits are also magnetic which enables the wearer to carry all necessary equipment on his uniform and eliminates the old-fashioned little black bag. Miss Laird is now walking toward Runway 1 after safely landing her squadron. She is wearing a beautiful hand painted space suit with lovely pink and purple alternating ruffles on the sleeve, cuffs and around her waist. Her long brown hair is pulled back in a 5-foot pony tail which just touches the ground. At the moment she is supervising the loading of the space ship. Hold everything! Here comes the most dignified news editor of the New York Herald Sun Tribune Press (in which you can read your favorite comic strip Tom Corbett), Verta Koch. She is glamorously attired in red, white and blue striped slacks, and her elec- trically wired blouse which flashes Press on and off every 2 9 16 seconds in brilliant orange. She is also wearing her shining black cavalier boots which compliment her hairdo. This hairdo is composed of foot-long bangs and cut very short into a tapered upsweep in back. She is now taking a picture of the crew and passengers with her atomic camera equipped with power steering. This is the camera that needs no film. And now preparations are being made to fire the rockets and by my Roy Rogers wrist watch I see it is time to return you to station O. I. Blab, but remember to look in your local newspaper for the results of this important trip.

attired in the uniform of the Outer Space Patrol Corps. This uniform is especially equipped to furnish the needs of the boss. which in this case is General Holter. Sus- pended from a heavy gold belt around Miss Kasza's waist is a tiny frying pan. a short-- wave radio, a folding chair, and a portable suitcase. On her head sits the regulation OSPCPS cap which is equipped with paper, pencil, pen, and ink ready for immediate use. Just alighting from a sleek atomic powered Oldsmoford is the famous criminal lawyer, Miss Betty Kelley. She has just recently won her fifth consecutive case which is reported to have netted her nearly 15,000,000 dollars. Miss Kelley is dressed in a smartly tailored green dyed mink suit with large gold buttons and all seams stitched with gold thread. She is carrying the handbag so popular this year, a small smartly covered waste paper basket. Rushing to escort Miss Kelley through this milling crowd is the oft seen figure of Charles Crow, the current heart throb of the bobby sox crowd, and recently presented the Most Romantic Lover on Feelavision Award. He, too, is sporting the new men's hair style. Examining the beautiful lines of the rocket ship are the two prominent joint bank presidents, Marvin Richardson and Richard Baxter. They operate three of the four banks in the booming city of Chivington, Colorado. Mr. Richardson is one of the financiers of this trip being a very, very close friend of Miss Dunlap, the pilot. Both Mr. Richardson and Mr. Baxter are wearing 10 carat diamond studded neckties and on their left wrists are wearing Dick Tracy two-way radios so that they can keep in close contact with their banks. Just landing his aerocar on Runway 25 is the 7 foot A.A.U. basketball star, Earl Kelley, Jr. . known to everyone in the sports world as Hook Shot Kelley. Mr. Kelley made 452 points in his last game. It being so early in the basketball season this is a remarkably fine score for most of the players are still getting into shape for the games ahead. Standing unobstrusively in the crowd directly below is the designer of Noee Solee Shoes, The shoes without soles but with uppers that look like actual shoes, Miss Sharyn Abrams. None out of ten doctors in the U. S. have found that these shoes are much milder and have more freedom than any other leading shoe combined. And leading fashion experts have stated that these shoes are the answer to well-groomed barefeet. A small riot is taking place near the rocket ship!! Word has just been passed to me that a group of small children have been pitting the side of the ship with beans from their atomic beanie shooters. With the help of the New Your State Militia the mothers of these little monst---I mean, children, Mrs. Barbara Kammarcal and Mrs. Florence Merica, are reported to have every thing under control. Now approaching the platform which the 4 geniuses occupy is the prominent society leader of Akron. Ohio, Miss Joyce Aldrich. She is a very close friend of Miss Bird. She, too, is charmingly attired in the latest--ladies' styles. Today she has chosen a darling short, pleat-skirt of non-metallic silver which is very becoming to her beauti- fully made up kneecaps. Her blouse is made of wooly cotten nylon in multi-colored strips. On each shoulder of the blouse are attacked strings with balloons in different colors floating in the air above her head. These balloons not only compliment her hair-do but also serve a double purpose by giving a broadshouldered effect, a feature of Dogpatch fashions this year.

Class History Here we are, the Seniors of '53, waiting on the platform to receive our diplomas. As I get a glimpse of a very familiar face my thoughts wander back to all those little first graders on that Monday morning in September 1942. When Miss Jessie Morris entered I the first grade room she found twenty-two eager little boys and girls to start building their future, namely: Robert Bressler, Charles Crow, Bruce Fischer, Robert Guthrie, Delbert Kasza, Jack Ludlow, Byron Lynn, William Mast, Larry Nordick, Harold Stocker, Leroy Kerfoot, Duane Bomeman, Joyce Aldrick, JoEllen Cherry, Pattie Dunlap, Joan Hutt. Patricia Infield, Dorothy Kasza, Betty Kelley. Marie Latham, Kay Uhland, Charlotte Ellgen. We lost Delbert Kasza the second week of school. This was the year our reputation seemed to be paste eaters. After having such a successful first year we were quite anxious to have our second year get under way. Miss Starrett was our new teacher. Our membership remained the same this year. Miss Mildred Neary was our third grade teacher. Upon her leaving Mrs. Fox took over and finished the year. We lost Jackie Ludlow, Duane Borneman, Harold Stoker. Robert Guthrie and Marie Latham; but gained eight new comrades, David Baxter, Gus Anderson, Duane Fox. Frances Anderson, Evelyn Hill, May Morton, June Harrison. With the completion of the third year we entered the fourth grade with Mrs. Lois Sibcy as our teacher. This year marked the beginning of our fine group of athletes. At this time, we lost Frances and Gus Anderson but gained Bob Greenwell, Junior Kelley, Norval Elzey. Later, in the second semester, we gained a new girl, Frances Bird. In the fifth grade with the help of our teacher. Miss Helen Anderson we had fun making hygiene scrap books. We only lost two members, JoEllen Cherry and Norval Elzey and gained three members. Lily Diemart, Sue Brown and Judy Hastings. The sixth grade is remembered by most of the class members for the hikes and parties. We enjoyed this year of school immensely with Jessie Morris as our teacher. At this time we lost Sue Brown and June Harrison but gained Verta Koch, Tommie Zordel and Marthann Howland. With our captain, Mrs. Grace Farthing, at the helm, we sailed further on our journey for knowledge. This was a special year, for we were now upstairs with the high school, and had the privilege of using lockers. Richard Crow, Billy Perkins, Johnnie Holier, Joyce Woodcock, Jean William and Billy May joined us. We lost Tommie Zordel and Larry Nordick. On that exciting night four years ago twenty-six scared little eighth graders were called individually to the stage to receive their grade school diplomas. Miss Clara Morris was the eighth grade sponsor. We lost Richard Crow, Lily Diemart and Billy May but gained Henry Baxter and Larry Nordick once more.
