Phyllis jones Patricia Pinnick Kenneth Jones Class Prophecy In the year 1960 while working as special feature reporter and photographer for the All Planet Daily Newsn, I was given an assignment to Mars. After asking a few questions I learned that the French Lick High School Class of 1950 was holding a reunion and as there were so many famous people in the group several pages of the paper were to be devoted to stories and pictures. I arrived at the field early enough to watch the first celebrities board the space rocket, and as I watched them I couldn't help but think of their rise to fame since their graduation. The first to venture up the gangway was none other than Niarguevite Anderson, who after a humble start as a waitress in a home town cafe now owns the largest chain of night clubs in the universe. Arriving in a streak which proved to be a red Rolls Royce, was Brooks Bm' Y PAGE TWENTY ONE

Brooks mentioned that Walter Burton would be delayed in reaching the airport as he was conducting a religious revival in Madison Square Garden. Looking toward the entrance I beheld a charming lady bidding goodbye to her devoted family. It was the former Ioann Collins, recently chosen Model Mother of The Year . I decided to interview the distinguished looking gentleman approaching me. He was Donald Clark, father of modernfday printing, in which mimeographing plays no part! I found that he was only too willing to supply me with volumes of informaf tion. Having finished my interview I was startled to discover that the passengers were aboard and that we were about to be launched on our journey. Shortly after leaving the strata of air covering the earth, a fellow passenger, Robert Drake, president of the Drake Business College, became airsick. Norma Denbo, of the Denbo Infirmary, Newton Stewart, soon came to the aid of the ailing professor. After this episode I managed, with some difficulty, to strike up a conversation with Verla Flick, who was seated next to me. She presented to me a gold bound volume of her latest book entitled Famous Football Stars . As I opened the book I discovered it was dedicated to none other than one of her classmates, William Ernest Flickner, the most outstanding football player of all time. Since everyone was growing weary we stopped for refreshments at a satellite, where we were pleasantly entertained by the boy with the golden voice, Fred Goldman After a delightful evening of reminiscing, Criminal Lawyer Marion Hagan very tactfully suggested that, since he owned a large summer estate on this satellite, we might as well spend the night there. Before leaving the next morning we decided to visit the local Cathedral, who should we discover there but Virginia and Virlee Haefling. The sisters had planned to take a space ship to Mars the following day but we managed to persuade them to accompany us. As we were about to board the ship to resume our journey, we were joined by classmates Alta and Donald Hardin. Alta had been acting secretary to Donald who is president of the InterfPlanetary Travel Commission. On the last lap of the journey we were entertained by the world famous im' personator, Donald Harris, He imitated stars of yesteryear such as Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. He ended by asking starlet Martha Harrison to sing our old school song. Not to be outdone by these performers, boxer Ralph Harrison challenged somef one to a bout, but failed to arouse enthusiasm. After Ralph had sparred for a few minutes we were very glad to hear the stewardess calmly announce for us to fasten our safety belts for the landing on Mars. Upon alighting from our ship we were greeted heartily by the mayor of the capital city of Mars, Phyllis jones, now Mrs. Phyllis jones. When she decided to marry she spent a great deal of time shopping around and finally found a man by the name of Jones. Our attention was then drawn to the sound of stirring music drifting from the other end of the air field, As we approached the band stand we were amazed to see the uHowerton Hotshotsn, conducted of course, by Lee Howerton. As we were ushered into the jet cars that were used as taxis, we noticed that jack Leonards name appeared on the sides. It seems that through jack's ability to trade cars every other day he had finally acquired a great fleet of taxis. While driving to our hotel we passed one of the local baseball stadiums. It was just like the baseball stadiums at home but for one added point of interest. This was the home stadium of the Mighty Mars Men , who are coached by Richard Morgan, and boosted in morale by that peppy cheerfleader, Miss Patricia Pinnick, 'f PAGE TWENTY-TWO
