Entering the city limits oi l.ltopia, we observed the sign which said, Utopia, iounded 1954 by Catherine and Martha Davis. The doctor and l decided that the girls must have become bored by liie on Earth, and decided to get away from it all. That night my sleep was troubled by a sign blinking outside my window. Just as l pulled the shade l looked closer and read l mind anyone s business lor a price signed, available Hasbrouck. The next day we moved on to Mars. Beside a canal was a little park in which stood a monument. lt was a memorial to Joseph Petrov who aided so much in famous irrigation project. Mr. Petrov was at present working on a plan to bring water to the moon. As we stood there gazing at the monument we heard scmething and turned in time to catch a glimpse oi Frank l-lerrmann driving one oi the tractors he was selling. Later we strolled through a gigantic orchard of all kinds ol lruit. A worker told us that it was owned by l'larold Campbell, and that ever since he was elected President oi the Red-l-leaded League he has grown withery but red colored iruit. When we reached Earth l thanked Dr. Alcorn lor the delightful trip, said good- bye and took the first bus to Edinboro. Edinboro, you know, is one ol the largest cities on the planet. It is second only to McLane. Edinboro owes its rapid growth to l-lomer Hutchison who pioneered in city planning alter receiving the basic funda- mentals in P. Q. D. class. The outstanding organization of the city is the Womenis Club organized by Miss Pearl l-layes. l decided the next day to make a complete tourvol the planets so l set out lor Venus. Venus is best known lor her beauty, so l wasn t surprised to Find Betty Sedor running a beauty parlor there. As l stood, gazing at the billboard oi a theater which featured the First lady oi the stage and screen, Marion Briggs, l heard a deep loud voice call out my name. l turned around only to have my hand seized by John McLaughlin's mighty Fist. l hadnit seen John since he had become the mightiest mortal in the universe. l'lis UDynamic Relaxation course really builds men. Later l set out lor Mercury, the playground oi the planets. As l approached the planet a loud rumble drowned out, even the motors oi my ship. It was a roller skating rink, and the largest one l had ever seen. The sign was painted on the roof: 'Rugula's Rocket Roller l2ink', L. Rugula, proprietor. l went inside and received a pair of one wheeled skates which l lound l could not stand up on. Two skating in- structors rushed to my aid. They were Marion Roos and Velma Robbins. They ex- plained that the skates were their own invention and that they had taught many famous people how to skate on the 'Robbins' skate. Leaving l traveled until l saw below me a beautiiul lake. Cn my map it was chartered 'iAbinboro Lake, but l did not learn until later that it had been discovered by Bob Stevenson who had come in search oi a spot to open his boat bicycle car and air sled livery. l had some motor trouble while Flying over the Mercuria Alps and l was lorced to make a landing among them. l climbed out to look at my engine but was lured to the edge of a clump oibushes by some yodeling. l saw seated on the edge oi the clill, Paul l'lale and Mary Ann porter. l assumed that paul was trying out a new kind oi yodel, and lor that and other reasons, l decided l should not bother them. l signaled a ship that was Flying overhead. It was piloted by Lois Decker, oi the Decker Detective Agency. Lois took me back to a small village that turned out to be the training camp of the Mercurian Mugwumps. The ball club was owned by Ton. Joel Fuller who was now in the senate. Manager Gene Tucci showed me around t e camp. l obtained some spare parts and returned to my rocket. l fixed the motor in no time at all. As l flew back to Earth l lelt that, alter all, the years spent attending Edin- boro l-ligh School had not been in vain. Few other classes could equal ours.

CLASS PROPHECY THE TRAVELS or RODGERS lt is the year 1966 and the whole universe is talking about the exploration of Pluto the last and most distant planet in our solar system. Our pilot was Captain Herald Swift of the Earth Space Fleet. l'lis reliability as a pilot is well known among all the planets. Perhaps the most famous person on board was Dr. Pauline Sup. Dr. Sup was investigating the landscape and looking for a likely spot to build an observatonf. Un the return trip our first stop was the planet, Neptune, where we refueled our space cruiser. Neptune is very sparsely settled, l never knew the answer until Captain Swift told me that Thomas Shayko had chosen this planet for the testing ground of his famous synthetic Corn Cob Pipes. At the home of Simon l'lolowach, the well renowned batchelor and poet, l met Dr. Charles Alcorn who was looking for the cure of lovesickness. Dr. Alcorn was learning a few new angles from Professor l-lolowach. The good doctor invited me to return the rest of the way to earth with him. l graciously accepted and a few hours later l climbed aboard his sleek speedy Kurl Kosmic Kar. f-le informed me that l-larrison Kunkel had bought out the ford Motor Car Company and had started to build space craft. After a few hours of flight we arrived at Uranus, the planet of culture. ln order to kill a few hours we attended the Uranus foundation where we heard an interesting lecture by Dr. Lloyd De Brakeleer on mfhe value of Self-Confidence. l-lis able assistant Miss Margaret l lolup illustrated the main points of the lecture on the Tele- board. As we walked down the corridor of the building Dr. Alcorn pointed to a sign that read HP. l'l. Dunton, Piano lessons by hour or day. At the last door in the corridor we heard two women arguing. The sign on the door told us that it was the office of Professor Catherine Bernoski, Superintendent of Schools. One of the women argued in French so immediately we knew that Mille. Mary Rogers was having trouble with her students again. The next day we set out for Saturn. We arrived there in time for lunch. Stop- ping at Borger's Borsht Bowl we ate a light meal and talked about E. f'l. S. with Josie herself. Before we left we each drank a toast for old times sake. The toast was milk from Alward's Dairy. The milk was a bit sour, so Charlie slipped me a stick of gum l had never tasted anything like it. The wrapper was printed Wiggleyis Sparcmint Gum, manufactured by Tau-Anderson and Co. Our next stop was Jupiter. Dr. Alcorn wanted to look up a few facts at the Library of Planets, the largest library in the solar system. Under the direction of Libra- rian Charlotte Rinderle this organization has become most famous. So much in demand is admission into it, one must obtain library permit from l-lead Bookkeeper froyer. Shirley got her start in Miss Qfrazia's bookkeeping class back in high school, and now is in charge of the entire financial department of the Planet Jupiter. Just as we boarded our ship for the next lap of our journey, l purchased a copy of The Jovian Jupn the outstanding newspaper of the planet. It is owned, edited and published by Mrs. Bette l'lostettler Brainbuckle who does most of the reporting, newswriting, and typesetting too. Glancing through the paper l noticed a two page ad announcing the sale of Browns Super Atomic Rocket motor Space Bike-a new product. All bikes are painted red and yellow. We came in through the asteroids late that evening. Not being able to find our destined stop, we inquired for directions at a wayside rocket power station. We recognized the attendant as Anita Iverson and were surprised to learn that she had opened a chain of power stations all through the sateroids.
