DESTINY? What's this? I roused from my cursory reading of the evening paper. A news item caught my eye. HPublic invited to preview the latest invention in space televiewing. JOHN SERY, noted scientist, is here to demonstrate his invention at a public showing tonight at 8, Municipal Armory. General admission $1.00; reserved seats $2.00? This announcement sent me scurrying to the Armory. The place was packed. My eyes glanced over the crowd; and as I was about to wave to JEANETTE EISENBERG, DARREL HULBERT, librarian JACQUELINE FERN, and reporter MYRA BOGUCKI of the almost forgotten class of June 1958, the lights were turned low. An eerie silence fell over the crowd. John stepped forward, quiet, reserved, and cool. How could he be so cool and collected when this was the crucial moment? If his invention proved successful, 1978 would see an instrument which will pick up scenes throughout the universe. In the hushed silence, a picture came into focus. Before my eyes twenty years passed in review. A rocket ship! Can it be the design of THOMAS HLIVKA? He had dreams in 1958. I watched while the ship headed toward the space station. I found myself wondering what that projection to the side of the station was? It must be the rocket port. The ship made a landing! Stepping out were world-famed scientists Mr. ROBERT GERONSIN of the United States and Sir RICHARD RYAN of Great Britain. Following them came JUDY FISHER and SHIRLEY HUAR who always said they,d be private secretaries to great men some day. Welcoming them were good old RAYMOND BISHOP, MICHAEL SPILLANE, JOHN WIERIMAN, and GEORGE POLUSNY, engineers who have made good! I recognized Doctors STANLEY ALLISON and SHARON HUNCZAK, accompanied by nurses BETTY WALTERS, IRENE CARY, and IUDY CHESLOCK. Their dreams have come true, too. I was happy to see two of the most prominent people in the medical field, research chemist IOAN PENNIG and technician KATHY ENGMAN both engrossed in their lab and doing big things. Next the interior of the station Hashed on the screen. Looking down the left corridor, I saw JUDY HILLiS beauty salon. That familiar figure! I declare! Model DONNA GALLUP and also CAROL SUNDEEN who, no doubt, had a busy day scheduled with stylists, GLORIA GAVIN and ANNETTE SMISEK. MARIANNE NITZSCHKE, world-renowned wardrobe designer, was busily giving instruction to tailor ROBERT ADAMS. Her lovely haircut was the work of barbers IOE COX and DAVE KNOBLAUCH and bound to become the rage! The scene changed. Now looking into the atomic-powered kitchen, I saw plumber ROGER LINDMAN toiling over a leaky faucet. Working beside him were cabinet makers DENNIS BLANCHARD, DICK KNIGHT, ROBERT WOODS and carpenters JOSEPH DONAHUE and MICHAEL PETER. Electrician JERRY COTTEN carefully checked all wires and connections. These boys always did have a flare for shop work back in 1958. Working diligently preparing the foods, chefs DENNIS ERICKSON, IIM MARTIN and test cook SANDRA BEYER worked from menus planned by the chief dietician, JEANETTE TOLLEFSON. I surely would enjoy those meals! Oops! The camera eye focused on a door which it couldnit at the moment penetrate. To the right, seated in conference were engi- neer REID TOMBERS, air force consultant RONALD SANDBACK, and RALPH PETERSON working with draftsmen ROGER PEARSON, WILLIAM ANDERSON, and IOHN LANNES to complete the plans for the trip to Venus. They carefully considered geologist LARRY SORENSONiS report on the terrain. Surveyor DANIEL PETERSDORF had been able to make a preliminary map of the area through the powerful camera developed by MICHAEL BEAL. It will be the job of mechanics IIM MEYERS and GAYLORD BISHOP to construct the rocket. Then through the door strode BOB CLEAR, pilot of this dangerous mission. The camera followed him to the bank section where he approached the telleris window. Why, JEAN ZOLDAHN received his deposit slip! Behind her cage, CAROL WHEELER and JUDY KITTLESON checked their books. Working beside them was account- ant SHARON L. JOHNSON. Handing them records from his well-kept file was FRED CARY. I was fascinated by the fast moving keys of typists DOROTHY JOHNSON, RUTH IUNG, DARLENE PERRON, and PAT HALEY, who zipped through the piles of work manager BRUCE DeWOLF handed them. The picture faded. I held my breath, for I shuddered at the thought that maybe the viewer could not pick up- Yes! The inside of a school auditorium was plainly seen. KATHLEEN DUNN and RICHARD TOFT, artists, were lecturing on modern art. Photographers MARGIE MILLER and DOUG HULLEMAN were snapping pictures of the exhibits. Listening rap- turously were teachers SANDY HOLTER, COSETTE KARLSON, SHARON STANCHFIELD, CAROL JAMES, and EILEEN PETERSON. MARY MALMSTROM, who started out as a teacher herself, is the principal of the space school. Queer position for a woman, but Mary always did have a yen for the unusual. Back to the main building. Really a small city in itself. It even had a police station. JEROME KROUSE and RONALD DAR- SOW were oHicers. They discussed a case with lawyer IIM JOHNSON and social worker CAROL JOHNSON. ANDREA HRICKO, department psychiatrist, had a testimony which might play an important part in the case. Her chemical lab, under the direction of KATHY PEGG, has revolutionized criminology. BOB CAMPBELL, famous scientist, has invented an absolutely foolproof atomic brain which can pinpoint criminals. The camera picked up the hallway to the medical center. Iid know those men anywhere! Drs. MICHAEL JOHNSON and DEL PETERSON swiftly moved toward the inlirmary. They were greeted by many co-workers: technicians MARJORIE CLEMENS, CAROL HOLMS, IEAN MORRIS, and DIANE SCANNELL and also by physical therapists MARIIO DRISTE and DIANNE MILLER. Nurses MARJORIE ULMANIEC, FAYE OLANDER, SUSAN HATCH, CAROL ROSECRANS, and VELMA SHEL- TON scurried to and fro. Everything here was well-ordered and efliciently carried on. Amid the confusion I spotted a nameplate on a door- Drs. DOUGLAS PIERCE and SANDRA PETERSON, Veterinarians? They always were crazy about animal stories in the old days. BARBARA JENSEN, the clinicis dental hygienist, is now assisted by FRANCIS KAMINSKI and SHARON KILBURY. I did not have time to recognize any of the patients, for flashed on the screen was the ultra modern interior of the space garage. Mechanics DICK JOHNSON and CHUCK TROUT had just put the finishing touches on the Rev. DOUGLAS FINCHiS atom-powered space- jeep. Offering expert advice as usual were LYLE PEDLAR and DICK ANDERSON. Back up the ramp to the second floor. There was NINA OLEEN, famous folk singer and KATHY JOHNSON, movie star! Farther down the hall in the publishing house of ELEANOR NOSKA, ndted author, GARY NYLANDER turned on the charm to persuade assistant CURTIS STONER and receptionist GLORIA GEARHART to let him talk with the overworked publisher. Eleanor was in conference with printers GARY BRAASCHE and JAMES MURPHY and artists STEVE HAHN, GARY MUNDIS, and JAMES IACKMAN. They were interrupted by the voices of pilots BOB CLEAR, MELFORD WHEELER, and CARL EKMAN announcing over the RA. the departure of the rocketship. Was that TODD ZIMMERMAN loading that truck? He had said back in 1958 his aim was trucking. Horrors! The picture again faded out. Engineers BILL FLITTIE and PAT HALLORAN frantically worked at the controls, but it looked as if that was the end. Will the loss of our scientific crystal ball, I asked myself, change our roll in IiDESTINYV
