()fass J rophec c The National Space Administration has just selected the fifteen individuals who are supposed to make the first trip to Mars--one way. Yes, these twelve men and three women just named will colonize the planet which up to this time has only been landed on once by the man who will lead this larger expedition—Astronaut Charles Stoakes. The man second in command is Ronald Shanahan renowned radio technician. Those going are each outstanding in their fields and each have a definite purpose in the trip. The truly amazing thing is that they all come from the same state, town, and school. They all graduated from Mead High School just 18 years ago in 1962. The Government feels that the trip will be a sure success since they are familiar with each other. Dr. Sharon Behrens Schweitzer Jr., widow of the late Dr. Schweitzer the famous surgeon, will be in charge of the health and safety measures on the trip. She will be constantly checking the health of the members of the expedition and will aid them in sickness. To keep the group active, and in good spirits, Ronald Gustafson, famous for being named Rookie of the Year in the American Basketball Association and now a renowned high school coach, will be the recreation and social director during the flight and after arrival. Those in charge of transportation and construction of living quarters after landing are: Keith Pulse, a now famous heavy equipment operator who recently gained renown on the Government's Dig Thru to China operation; Mickey Pulse, the famous race car driver who has been the first to master the operation of the new Mars Cars; Robert F. Hannan, architect and designer of the house which was selected as the most practical for adaption to Mars; Charles Warner who recently was acclaimed for his stand against telephone poles in a live T.V. debate; and Terry Swanson, a test driver who has withstood harder crushes than any of the other astronauts. The woman in charge of keeping the records, books, and setting up land offices on Mars is Mrs. Dianne Pellan Hannan wife of the humorist and cartoonist Richard S. Hannan who will accompany his wife, named Secretary of the Year in 1967, on the trip. He calls his duties that of a house husband but he will assist Gus in maintaining morale and he will also help publish the news- paper (in charge of the funny page). The two men who will be in charge of keeping the group fed will be the two renowned farmers Mark Gustafson, the man who raised the biggest ear of corn in 1970 and who has done research with the conditions he'll face on Mars, and Mike Iiams, the man who in 1969 raised the largest bull on record and who invented the tractor which will be used on the planet. Miss Ann English, spinster old maid and missionary teacher, will serve as Chaplain for the party and will be prepared to win over any natives that may be found to reside on the sphere. Mr. Ralph McClay will be in charge of educating any natives found and if none are found he will write for the newspaper and prepare to teach any new arrivals which we are sure will follow. In all, the problems are being worked out and it appears that the fifteen will be launched in less than three months.
