Back again to Thompsonville, they found Mary Vella and Cecelia Wojcik in charge of a very nice candy store. When the two arrived back to the ship there was so much to tell the others that the flight back to earth seemed but a minute. News of their wonderful flight had spread and the airport was the scene of intense ex- citement. Police Commissioner Jo- seph Krzys was called upon to restore order and Lieutenant Francis Cimino with the aid of four plain clothed policemen Joseph Romano, Andrew Prayzner, Anthony Pascucci and motorcycle officer Edward Manning answered the call and soon order took the place of chaos. Members of the Reception Committee were: Mayor John Galimberti, Vincent Shea, a prominent business man, Anna Buika famous woman aviatrix and Frank Kwapien, chief of police. Newspaper workers were again in evidence, but this time the New York World had first choice. Margaret McGarr, Alice Garstka and Mary Bezak were doing their best to collect interesting news items. These reports were sent back to the news office where they were typed by Ivy Heald, reread by Norma Best and recopied by Honorata Piorek. A rousing welcome was given the party, speeches, cheers and music filled the air. The final tribute was the firing off of a large cannon to salute the first adventurers to Mars. A loud report was heard, a middle- aged man stirred in his chair before the fire, rubbed his eyes and looked around in a perplexed manner. Then his eyes fell on the photograph book which had fallen to the floor. He chuckled and said, “Boy, what a trip! I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!”

In the course of their con- versation, they drifted back to days at Higgins and began to compare notes. Donald learned that Mellie Pnlilla was owner of a department store in Enfield and her head sales- lady was Antoinette Muratore, that Victoria Nowak had just written a book on Farm Life, that Charlotte Augustyniak was principal of the A. D. Higgins School and other members of the faculty were: Stella Wojnar, teacher of Mathematics, Margaret Frew, head of the Domestic Science Department, and Mary Dynia, Sec- retary to Supt. of Schools, John Kazmierski. Another successful busi- ness woman was Demetria Vasila- costa, owner o f a large popcorn fac- tory, who employed several form.er classmates Emma LaMore, Stella Pohorylo, Kathemne Petrnkis, Sophie Walenta and Nellie Kostek. In the next room, an orchestra re- hearsal was in progress and to Don- ald’s amazement he found the ship’s orchestra was almost the same or- ' hestra which had played at Higgins. He was greeted by John Mish, Michael Reveruzzi, Robert Smith, Robert Hardy, Edmond Cybulski, and William Norewski. After rehearsal, the entire party, with the exception of Edivard Pohorylo, assistant pilot, Edivard Mullen, master mechanic, and the rest of the crew, adjourned to the dining room where a fine meal was served by the two chefs, Leo Zirolli and John Nosal, former mem- bers of the boys’ cooking club. After dinner, Steward Clair Tomaszek tuned in on the picture radio and succeeded in getting the World Series in time to see Walter Ligenza knock out a home run bringing in Albert Nobonzy scoring two runs which wrested the pennant from Walter Typronsay’s teams and gave it to Manager Edmund Kukulka. Um.pire Herbert Blotven announced the score and announcer, Jane Zaczyk, bid the audience good Heimoon. Tuning in on another sta- th ' by discovered that a benefit program under the direction of Shirlee Sisitzky, a society lady, was being an- nounced by Statia Jedziniak. They listened to an interesting talk by Elizabeth Barber, on “How to Grow Tall,” several songs by Florence DeCaro, accompanied on the piano by Jidia Kozial, two piano solos by Caro- lene Bailey, a short illustrated talk on art by Mary Zareski and a group of songs by a girls’ chorus consisting of Helen Hydack, Mary Talnak, Ger- trude Lehmann, F7 ances Wasowicz and Parvilia Vallides. The program ended with a reading by Clara Czy- zewska. As it was late, Bryce suggested that the party retire for the night. In the morning when Donald awoke his eyes rested on a scene of extreme hustle and bustle. Asking the reason, he was informed by sub-stewart, John Cygan, that Mars had been sighted two minutes before. Just then the ship rocked and soon stopped all together and they knew that Mars had been reached. All members, of the party donned heavy suits some- thing similar to diver outfits and started on their exploration. Sud- denly one of the members gave a startled exclamation, there in front of him was the queerest creature ever imagined. Mere words could not describe it. Bryce tried to talk to him but of no avail. Finally he suc- ceeded in getting him to understand why they came and the figure mo- tioned to Bryce and Donald to follow him. They did and were conducted to a small queer structure which proved to be a scientific laboratory. The creature directed the men to look through two large telescopes, they did and to their utter amazement could see all parts of the world. Here are some of the people that they saw in the world. In a Boston Beauty Shop was seen Jean Helmar dem.onstrating the new Bania Face Cream, Mabel Kurley giving a wave to Anna Tenei ' owicz who had just left her dressmaking shop, Annie Blondek was manicuring the nails of Josephine Romano, a drawing teacher in the schools of Boston. In a large hospital in Albany were seen the following who had followed nursing: Lillian McQuillan, Hilda Schoppe, Edna Jordt and Benedicta Gudaitis. In other parts of the hos- pital were seen Veronica Gucwa, sec- retary to the superintendent and in
