Gretchen Gantner. after reportedly turning down seventeen proposals. finally married a man ten years older than herself. Her four children were all on the llcan's list in thcir college days. For the past thirty- thrce years. she has been treasurer of no less than fifty- seven organizations. Several of hcr children have cs- tablished a hospital here. so that their children could have a place to set up a junior auxiliary connected with thc hospital gift shop. Right now, she is busily writing letters to her many friends spread over four planets. Susan Kyle and her family have remained in Pitts- burgh. This is ber first visit to Mars as hcr railroad magnate husband has always been very strongly against rocket ships, and it was only with a great deal of per- suasion that he allowed her to come.

Barbara Vaux is quite used to visits on Mars, having traveled extensively a few years back with her hockey playing husband in connection with the activities in the Inter-Planetary Hockey League. Barbara created a great sensation in the medical world in thc early years of her marriage. It seems that all four of her children were born with ice skates built on their feet. Her greatest joy, next to her family, has been her own little rockct ship. which she may pilot any time she wants. It is growing dark. and so we decide to break up our little party. Barbara Vaux. quite distracted by the trip up. has insisted on piloting Louise Mulert's space ship back to Earth.

Fifty Years Hence It is thc year 2002. and the Class of 1952 has decided to get together for its fiftieth reunion at Norina Dor- britz's estate on Mars. Two members of the class. Margot Copeland and Louise Fleger. are permanent members of the newly-created Martian colony. while Norina and Louise Mulcrt have homes both on Mare' and on Earth. Louise Mulert arrives. somewhat behind schedule. with the rest of the class. It seems that she had :i little trouble piloting her Cadillacron. Never having gotten a license to drive the now outmoded automobile . she finally managed to pass the test two years- ago for her jet license, after 69 failures. Settling down to our Frozen llaiquiries. we cliscuwa our lives since leaving Ellis fifty years ago. Uni' major objective in life. that of getting married. has happily been realized by all of us. Outside of thit. we have led varied lives. This is Hex Byerly's first inter-planetary trip. She and her ball-playing husband were just too busy rais- ing their ten children and buying pianos. to find t c time. She is still living in Pittsburgh and spending her summers in Chautauqua. There are ten pianos in each of her houses. one for each child. Because of a phobia acquired in her youth, the first song taught her children was Soothe Me, which they play even now in a dectet. hfargot Copeland. who lived on lNIars for ten years. is very happily married to a slightly mad scientific genius. Her six homely children were evidently holy terrors in school and were continually criticized for their laziness and mental blocs. This comes as no sur- prise to us. Margot. after an incentive given to her in her junior year at Ellis, holds the distinction of organ- izing the first radio station on the planet. Norina Dorbritz. having married quite young. is the first in the class with great-grandchildren. Her chain store magnate husband has recently opened offices on Mars. and maintains homes on both this planet and Earth. She promises to have her two youngest grand- children come in soon and entertain us with some par- lor magic. containing tricks they learned from several of their great-uncles and aunts. Louise Fleger and her 7' 3 husband have lived on Mars for many years now. They decided they liked the countryside after being stranded here for three months. due to a breakdown of their very ancient rocket ship. Shortly after their decision to move. I,ouise's mother moved into the city, and divided her 88.9 aerc SJ' New fri' xx, in ol I G LJ
