Class Prophecy HARRY HINTHORNE, self-made millionaire, was overwhelmed with a desire to see his old classmates from El Paso High, class of '66. He had parlayed part ownership in a second-hand taxicab into one of the biggest fortunes in the Universe. It had been 24 years since he had seen some of the old gang—why not charter a spaceship to the Moon and take them all along for a long, leisurely reunion? The invitations were sent--blast off would be at 8:00 P.M., June 3, 1980—24 years to the minute since graduation. When VICKI ARMSTRONG received her invitation, she was tom between wanting to go and wanting to stay at home. Not only did she have to find a baby sitter (and with 12 kids, that was no small task) but she also had to think of her 4-H club. This year they might get a chance to enter the competition in the Interplanatary 4-H Fair to be held in Mars. Still, reunions happen only once in many years, so she would do her best to find a substitute. KAY INGERSKI welcomed the invitation. It would not only be great to see everyone again, but it would be a pleasant respite from her grueling duties with the United Nations Security Commission, attempting to solve the problems between Mercury and Venus. BRYAN JEFFREYS received his invitation as he returned from a vestry meeting. He had become a world-famous minister, renowned for his zealous manner of speaking. He would be glad to see his classmates and perhaps save a few souls. DENNIS FAULK would be unable to leave his post as Conductor of the Philharmoic Symphony. He would be there in spirit and in record, for in honor of the occasion he recorded a new symphony composed by CAROLYN HARPER, entitled Comets to the Moon. Carolyn had won world fame with her composition You Can Tell Her Anything Under the Sun When You Get Her Under the Moon . This composition would be rendered (and we do mean rendered) by the Championship Barbershop Quartet, LES KAUFMAN, ALAN CLINE, JOHN BALLARD, and MIKE KRIEG. Their fame rested more on their volume than their quality. As the day of departure grew near, there was a great flurry of activity at the launching pad at Cape Kennedy. EVELYN ARMSTRONG arrived early as she was commissioned to tune the grand piano in the main lounge, as well as the two spinets in the recreation lounges. Her perfect pitch and skill made her one of the most sought-after technicians, and it was only because she was to be one of the passengers that they were able to secure her services. DICK McWILLIAMS was also an early arrival, as he was the Commanding Pilot for the flight. His co-pilot would be FRED HUNT. Together these two fearless men had made some of the most sensational trips of the century. Perhaps Dick would make one of his thrilling walks in space. The passengers began to arrive on June 2, 1980. Among the first arrivals was DENNIS McMIL-LAN. For a time, it appeared that he would be unable to make the trip as he insisted on taking a heavy trunk with him which was much overweight. The trunk contained a month's supply of pennies for CAROL MOOL'S Bank. It was Dennis' job to polish them to a fine sheen, and unless he could finish this task he would have to remain behind. Carol finally relented and agreed to allow Dennis to do his penny-polishing when they returned. LAURA PATTERSON arrived in a happy frame of mind. Being a fraternity housemother was something of a trial, but she had been recalling some of the things her former classmates had done, and they put the antics of her boys to shame. She began to realize that boys will be boys, although she couldn't quite figure out WHY. JOEY BREACH boarded the ship, serene in the thought that he had found a reliable substitute for his position as Lifeguard of the Charmin Display. It hadn't been easy to secure a responsible person for this important job. 21
