CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1950. Place: Space-Ship Airport. The orange peel space ship is about to take a daring and exciting adventure, to Mars where a few friends will enjoy the red planet's scenery. For one day the small party will explore and look at the wondering world from a great height. Here comes Allen Dom, our pilot, and his assistant, Robert Lermer. As they warm up the motors, a larger crowd gathers around the ship. Pushing through the crowd comes that ever ready reporter, Billy Bolton, who will witness the flight. Trailing behind him is Bev- erly Owen, that pretty trained nurse who will travel along in case of space sickness. The professor is the well known science lover, Rolland Percival, and his secretary, Isa- bell Tate. A large Rolls Royce drives up and the chauffeur, Robert Bartow, opens the door and out steps that famous world novelist, Violet Wunch, followed by Phyllis Swartz and Florence Kier, her two stenographers. The stewardess, joell Morgan, checks off the passengers' names as they enter the ship. Every one piles in as the ship takes off at a high speed. Time passes very fast and soon lunch is served. The chef, Earl Tebbe, proudly displays his elaborate luncheon consisting of black Cavier, fruit cock- tail, and other expensive tidbits. As the radio is turned on we hear Ruth Lawson swinging Hold Tight on her mandolin. On her program is that romantic baritone, Carl Snyder singing The Fish Swam Over the Dam. As they finished the song, that well known news commentator, Lowell Jeffrey, announced our idiotic idea of going to Mars for a vacation. Time Marches On Every one is sleeping quietly except for an occasional snore from John Weinrich. Suddenly everyone is thrown from his berth. Questions are asked about the rude awakening. As the stewardess entered she announced that there was no damage done and that we have reached our destination. Everyone jumped into something substan- tial to wear and fastened their atmosphere belts around them, as we left our space ship. Mary Alice Bauer disappointedly steps from the ship expecting to see a reception committee. After a few miles of exploring, we hear loud swing music, and advancing nearer we see Dale Barns holding George Braun up as their exit from the Zi-Zag Club operated by fto our amazementj Dorothy Fellows. The head waiter, Don Duben- dorfer, ushered us to a ringside table as the floor show began. Virginia Armentrout, the famous blues singer, entertained us with her version of My Heart Belongs to Daddy. Then Eva May Champion and Kathleen Brinker, stars of the show, performed beautifully in their taps routine, entitled Mars on the Loose. The last act proved that Charles K. was indeed the strong man of Mars, as he held us breathlessly with his feats of strength. The applause was long and mighty. Soon the lights dimmed, telling us the eve- ning of hilarity was over and with hearts saddened by the thoughts of returning to our space ship, we slowly left the Zig-Zag Club. Returning to our ship and comfortable seats, we all turned and looked once more at Mars, our nearest friend to earth. Sadly we waved to our Marzarian friends and vowed to return some day. Slowly the ship lifted and drifted into the dark night and as we closed our eyes to rest, we wondered if this trip to Mars were really true. Violet Wunch, Beverly Owen. LoNGFELLow f 28 1 ECHOES
