After the first act, Thelma Wilson, the noted toe dancer, entertained us with some of her professional dancing steps. Vera Humphrey, the great Prima Donna sang a very appropriate number, accompanied by Marjorie Cline, the famous pianist of Mars. After the show our bus took us to our hotel. We retired for the night. Although it remains daylight the year round, we found that it was not at all difficult to sleep as we were all so exhausted. While we were having breakfast the next morning, we heard a program over the radio from Venus. Ike Killion was the announcer. We were especially interested in this program, because three of our old classmates were broadcasting. Glenn Golden, a non-Euclidian Geometrist, gave a talk on some of his latest theories. We then heard Emily Skinner give some famous translations of foreign languages. The last but not the least of importance was a talk by John Pendleton. He gave some points from his experiments on the fourth and fifth dimensions. After breakfast we went to visit one of the largest hospitals in Mars. The head surgeon was Doctor Godsell who has been very successful in finding a cure for leprosy. While talking to her we learned that Rachel Patterson and Margaret McBride were head nurses at the hospital. Winifred Banner is the dietitian. We remained here only a few minutes and then took our bus for Kyto. When we arrived at Kyto, we went to lunch, After lunch we bought a newspaper edited by Novella McKenny. There was an article in the paper written by Lillie Sartain, a well known author. She had contributed some new ideas for the short story. We also saw that Theresa Arvin was planning a trip abroad after she returned from her tour of Mars. Vivian VVa1ton has anew painting called, A Scene in Mars, which is valued at a million dollars. Taking our bus for our Rocket airport, we stopped at a Country Club which is a pleasure resort for the wealthier class and noted for its great entertainers of world wide fame. Pauline Whitesell was giving an exhibition in fancy diving and swimming. After witnessing this entertainment we continued our journey and arrived at our present destination. We are to remain here about twenty-four hours and then we are to return to Earth. We hope you have enjoyed this imaginary trip as much as we have enjoyed the real one. Hoping to hear from you soon, we are, Your former classmates, Francis Ayton Gordon Trotter Elba Clear 27

Dear Bud: We have just Hnished our tour of Mars. We were very sorry that you were not able to go with us, but we are going to take you on an imaginary trip with us. We took our rocket ship from Mount Rainier, February 2, 1940, and arrived the 10th day of February. It was a very pleasant journey we all agree. Our pilot landed our ship at Peik's Bay City airport, where to our surprise, we met Earl Carr who was master mechanic of the airport. Leaving the airport and going into the city, we came across Ronald Garee, athletic coach at Peik's Bay University, and learned that Jick Forbes had set a new record in the mile by running it in three seconds flat. On continuing our conversation we found that Doc Iden had opened an undertaking parlor in the city last spring and he had employed Mildred Morgan as his stenographer. He is doing a flourishing business. Wallace Wesley is teaching History in the high school. We were amazed to learn that Miniature Golf is one of the special courses offered. Helen Brining is the instruc- tor. Coach Garee also told us that Robert Washburn entered the University last fall and is taking an oratorical course. Virgil Keuhling is finishing his two-year course in topography. As it was time for our bus, we had to bid Coach Garee adieu. We left for the city of Kanta-Seika to spend the evening in the Markatonius Theatre. There was a very special three-act play which had been running in Kanta-Seika for three weeks. 26

i Mrk M.maf.gP.1'sv I ,., l 4 ,-ff, Ali SENIOR'S FAREWELL Our school days have taught us to dare to dog To see the difficult things in life clear through: To dig down to the depths, to climb the rugged steps of life: To conquer sorrow and quell all strifeg So we go out these spacious halls Better prepared to meet 1ife's calls. We have that feeling of heart's content, A secret pride on reaching that for which we've bent The simple truth and honest thought The masters of this school have taughtg We love them and our dear old high And thoughts of leaving make us sigh. Lightly that warm touch comes to rest In our hearts with knowing that we've done our best When we think of the honor and the fame, That we've added to our high school's name We're ready to start life that we may give The best that's in us, while we live. It's here we've sought and gained a friend, And it's now that our happiest days must end. With tears and a heavy heart, We grieve, but We must part To travel o'er life's hills and dells So now we bid you our fond farewells. -By William McBride, '31. 28
