Prophecy Ot 1 he Class Oi '53 the night. We peek in on the floor-show before going to our rooms and whom should we see but Jo Railing!!! She has a magic act and uses a pet monkey for an assistant. Being in the act must be a carry-over from the modeling she did in the Junior play at school. We cnat with her a few minutes alter her act and then go up to get a good night’s sleep before we blast-off for Jupiter in the morning. As morning dawns, we rise, eat, check out, and go back to the ship to get ready to leave. Just as we are ready to blast-off, Frank rushes up to the ship and asks if he might fly along to Jupiter. Naturally, we grant permission to him. Muriel gives ua clearance frem Mars’ tower and we blast-off. After a few hours swift flight we land on Jupiter, disembark, and go to one of the United Planets’ Hotel. Guess who is door- man? None other than Vernon Young, who looks a lot different in a doorman’s uniform than he did in a basketball uniform. As we go in to register, another familiar face greets us. Phyllis Birky is the clerk on duty. Since we are all going to the “Starway” after dinner, we invite Phyllis to go along after she gets off duty. A bellboy ushers us to our rooms. Say, isn’t this someone else we should know? It is!! Jim Schultz. Jim, who is working part time in the hotel, spends his spare time hunting goradu, which is the combination of goose, rabbit, and duck, and is also de- veloping a scatter-shot-rocket-gun capable of hitting the goradus at 50,000 feet. Jim also decides to join us for dinner. We freshen up, eat, collect our group, and call a jet car to take us to the “Starway” nightclub owned and operated by Nancy French (This is what she learned at I. U.!!!???) The featured entertainment produced by our old buddy, Gordie, is billed as the vocal duet of Gingerkh and Peters. We always knew these boys would do something with their great voices. (But not this) We go in, sit down, and order drinks. When they are served, we tell the waiter he may as well leave the bottle because of the size of our party. We examine the contents written on the outside of the bottle, and we discover it is a combination cf “eight down” and “lower eleven” manufactured by none other than Doris Kneifel, who learned how to make this beverage in Home Ec. under the roof of our old Alma Mater. After Don and Don complete their numbers they are followed by the star of the old Zigfield Follies of 1954, Sylvia Nagaitis. Sylvia tired of the quiet life she lived in high school, so she came up here and mastered the art of being a night club hostess. After a wonderful evening of visiting with our friends, we decide to see what kind of a school system they have on Jupiter. As we step into the school building we are greeted by our old principal, Mr. Taylor, who informs us that he has employed all of our old faculty. After visiting for a while with each of our old teachers, we go back to our ship, blast-off for earth after oiue again seeing all of our old friends and classmates of the class of ‘53. Margie Luthi
