As the sands of the hour glass slowly sift away the time, we are mystified by the thought of what our records and deeds may be ten years hence, after high school graduation and our venture into the world of adulthood. Analyzing our varied talents, interests and personalities, we gaze into the future and dare to predict: LESTER MCGEE, renowned Scientist, has invented the first commercial contraption for moon passen- gers.

IRA HAYNES and BONNIE COMBS, well known secretaries, are keeping accurate notes on what is being said and done. Their last notes read The contraption is rolling as smoothly as a ball. MICHAEL SLACK and WILLIAM BAILEY, are in a concentration camp in the Congo. They are awakened by the noise of the SPACEMASTER and feel homesick. SALLIE SHANNON and MARIE STUBBS, first women hired as generals in the army, calm them by reading. . . IOHNNIE COLEMAN'S and REGINA ARNOLD'S poetry, they are the greatest American poets of the century. VENESSEE REDMON'S music is enjoyed by all as they soar through the celestial sphere. CARLOS CRIMMETT welcomes the visitors on the moon and tells them that he is happy they made their journey safely. He ushers them to. . . NANCY LOVE'S abode for earth people. LONNIE DAVIS later takes visitors to the Moonata Theatre, which is owned by. . BUFORD GRAHAM, a millionaire, and the first industrialist on the moon.
