We then took a ride in Char1a's new car, and Rebecca turned on the TV to catch the late news. Before the picture came into focus, a famike iar voice announced the number one song in outer space, HDon't Rock The Sputnik.H We knew it could be no one but nJolly Roger Blackwell.H Rebecca told us that Roger was the owner and operator of the spaceredio and television station. Roger then announced on the TV that Professor Spitfire, Tim Johnson, was still hard at work on his latest scientific project, a shopping center which will be placed just a few light-years from Venus. Food supplies have been low recently, but there is no real cause for alarm because Professor Johnson is well qualified for the yin On our way to Moon City, we met Mrs. Francis Tompkins, the former Miss Jolene Morrow. Jo is now part owner of a beauty shop in Moon City. She said she kept pretty busy because her two-year old daughterisalways into some sort of mischief. By the time Jolene's lunch hour was over, we had heard about many more Seniors of '58, Jolene said that Mrs. Richard Heitman, Barbara Wooten, who is one of her steady customers, tells her aboutherhusband's latest adventures every time she comes. Rick, a great game hunter in outer space, has recently captured two blue- blobs and one red blob. Rick is the first ever to capture a red blob, for if you don't sneak up on the blobs, they will turn blue before you catch them. Barbara quotes Rick, HI got my practice swiping cake from the lunch room back in high school.V ' After leaving Jolene, we happened to meet Scott Brown on the west side of Moon City. He informed us that he is now workinggin-the Forest Rangersfs Organization on Pluto where he has even developed his own forest. Since Scott moved to Pluto, it has actually become warmer there, believe it or not. After leaving Scott, we visited Richard Pope's large cattle ranch. It was a tremendous sight to see, because of the vast acres of land with a new type of cattle grazing there. Richard made a shy statement about planning to marry soon, but wouldnft tell us who the future.Mrs. was to be. He did tell us, however, that Jerry Card was a cattle buyer for a top firm of Mars. He bought most of Richardis cattle which were especially bred for life in outer space. On our way back to Moon City, we passed a new hospital, where we later learned that Alice Green was head nurse. We drove on to a hotel to spend the night. To my surprise we found ourselves at the White Hotel. Of course, the owner was Hollis White, the All American Flower Pot Thrower from H. M. H. S, We had some good laughs about 'several incidents that happened in 1958. The next morning when we went shopping in some of the outer space stores, we met Karen Mclntyre, a fashion designer. Karen told us that we had just missed Janice Waugh who had purchased one of the McIntyre originals. Janice and Larry were going to celebrate their thirteenth wedding anniversary that night.

Since we were going to spend a week in Moon City, we decided 'to throw a reunion to discuss old times. we went back to the hotel and began to write invitations. Later that evening we attended one of the many fascinating programs Hollis has for the entertainment of his guests. A card player by the nmne of Robert Weiderhblt was the -first on the program, demonstrating his amazing card tricks. He claimed that the practice he got in Miss Weigand's speech class gave him his start. Robert Dunn was his excellent assistant. - Robert told us after the performance that Dean Heflin was now in Alaska back on the old planet Earth. Robert said that he had just had a letter from him with discouraging news. It seems that Dean took nCracked Ice,U the one-act play presented in '58, to heart. He is still waiting for that beautiful, practical woman to come to take care of him. Since it was getting late we allwent back to our rooms and decided that maybe some of the group could come for .the 'reunion even though Dean wouldn't The next On our way we that she and there were so be able to come from Alaska. day we went to the post office and mailed our invitations met Mrs. Maurice Mires, the former Twila Carn and learned her family were living on a farm on Mars. She said that many friendly people there that she wouldn't trade places with Elaine De ass, at all. I hear that Elaine and Bud didn't like Navy life on Earth and moved to Moon City about a year ago. We left Twila and entered the post office. Kenneth Hughes the post master general, told us that we should look at the bulletin board for further information about our class. We did, and this is what we read, HDennis Manning,newly elected space sheriff is offering a 310000 reward for a.space jumper.U Good old Denny was,always so'kindehearted with'his money. I wonder if Dennis got his space jumper? It was noon when we found ourselves alone again. We went to a ritqr restaurant for lunch. It wasn't long before June Elliott appeared in the doorway. In case you didn't know, June carried on her responsibil- lity of being a newspaper woman, which she started in the Senior Play, She said she had just finished a story about Norman Heflin. I guess Norman makes the headlines everyday. Norman is, of course, still hiring June says his advertisements are as his models. models for his modeling agency. Hgoneu as the gowns he creates for I was very tired by this time think we needed a party. There was no reply from.Agnes.until.ws reached the hotel. We discovered then that Bob Willis was the only person in our class that we had not heard about. we went downstairs to ask Hollis about Bob. Hollis informed us that HBig Bobu had designed and built his hotel and was now working on a large building which would cover one square mile of land. It is to be used for government meetings held among the countries of all the planets. Bob says he really has an important job this time. and told Agnes that I really didn't
