Prophecy Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I want to welcome all of you to the grand opening of Dale Worley's Outer Space Summer Resort. Dale is more widely known as President of Cater- pillar. It has been thirty years since our class of 56 has gotten together for a banquet, and I am happy to see that all of us could make it. We are all very anxious to hear what our class- mates have been doing during the last thirty years. When I approached the first table, I saw that we had some celebrities among us. Blair Haines who is now one of the world's most famous singers. He told me that Eddie Fisher gave him his first big break in show business. Beside Blair is Sally George who has given up her job as private secretary to Samuel Goldwyn II to become B1air's most devoted admirer. Seated next to them is jackie Kilpatrick, one of the most celebrated pianists in the universe. She left her tour on Mars early to be with us this evening. Seated in the left wing are Pat Simpson who is head of a musical company, and Pat Chambers who is in charge of the make-up department. They have just returned from Europe with their new show, Guys and Rockets . This show is a huge success, and we are very proud to have them with us tonight. joe Boatwright and jim McGuire, who are seated at one of the front tables, have just recent- ly developed a new food called nourishment in a capsule, which is very convenient for taking on long rocket cruises because a months supply can be placed in the pocket of your space suit. It is being used for the first time tonight. We hone all of you will try some. They have a brilliant career at the john Hopkins' Research Center in Baltimore. Seated next to them are Carroll Stambaugh, and Tom Mclntyre. They are wealthy rocket farmers in Florida. They sell their products to the johns Hopkins' Research Center in Baltimore making the nourishment in a capsule. Over to our right we see Mary Persack, Carol Greene, jean Davis, Mary Colgan, and Ethel Beard who are setting up a medical space clinic on the satellite between earth and jupiter. We wish them the best of luck and Iwould like to announce that any contribution to this worthy cause will be greatly appreciated. You may give your contributions to Sandra Phares, head re- ceptionist, to Doctor Romick Einstein. Over in the corner are Bob Shissler, and the former Ada jones. It seems that they have finally decided to try to make a go of it after all these years. Ada was head of the Child Therapy Clinic for Martian Misfits. Bob has gone back into the seed corn business, and is president of Shissler Incorporated. Good luck in the light-years ahead. Seated near the back are johnie Cox and Brian Kjellenberg who own their own garage. They have just recently completed and successfully tested the Coxenberg Special. It has many new features. It travels 500 miles an hour, is accident proof, and is used only on the earth. Steve Harding, Delmar Hauk, Raymond Cox, and Danny Mercer, have been given medals for bravery in their exploration of a new planet called Monitor which is beyond jupiter. Seated to the right of them is Diane Butterfield who is now the head secretary for the Uni- versal Air Force. It seems that she has made quite a hit with certain men in the air force. In the center of the room is Gene Gilman. He has just opened a new clothing store in which he is featuring pastel colored space suits for summer vacations. Be sure and get yours now before they are all sold out. To the far right is Charles Howard who is now the head bookkeeper for Robert Howard's chain of Kroger Stores on earth, Mars, and Venus. Sitting on the front row are Phillip Kratzer and his charming wife Vonda Archibald. They have just arrived from their moon haven of 2000 acres and their fine family of five children. Next we have Senator Karl Taylor who is now campaigning for re-election with better sky- ways to Mars as one of the main planks in his platform. Next to him is George Whitney the most well-known lawyer in the universe, who is Karl's campaign manager. To the left are Beverly Snider and Alice Steer. They are taking a vacation from their families on earth. We all remember that Beverly was the first one of our class to get mar- ried. Alice Steer is now married to a plumber and has I2 little plumberettes. Sitting by the door is Larry Boyer who designed my summer resort. He is head of the B Si B Builders which he is now expanding to the other planets. Standing beside me is his wife the former Carla Haines who is his private secretary and helps him run his business.
