Sascha The scene opens in the year two thousand fifty-six. The moon has been almost blotted out by the inner-planetary station, but a faint glow casts its eerie light on an old forgotten graveyard. In the wind the cattails beat a steady rhythm on a hollow log and the tall grasses whisper faint strains of Dark-Town Strutters Ball. The dust whirls above the tombstones-wait! A figure appears in a battered top hat, ragged tails, and tarnished sequins. Her classmates emerging from the tomb- stones know that BARBARA CARLSON had made Broadway. At this ghost gather- ing it seems that the Class of '56 has reunited. The meeting is called to order by a trumpet blast of pro, RONNIE JOHNSON. Holding the music is MICHAEL DOYLE, wearing a battered sergeant's uniform, medals faintly gleaming from his chest. In a weedy flower garden near by, DOURLAND BIRD and MARVIN ANDER- SON are still clamoring over their prize peonies. SHARON HELGESON is beaming with pride over her seven children, kept healthy by a special doctor's care. JEAN ANDERSEN and RON ABBOTT have raised their own little Abbottonian drill team. BILL MEYERS, illustrator of the Ghost Gazette, edited by KATHLEEN WIT- TER, has iust signed in. DONNA ANDERSON is relating experiences of her life as a navy wife. RANDEE MELOS went from town to town with the Wrigley's Chewing Gum Company demonstrating how to chew gum correctly. From behind a tombstone we hear a shrill giggle as TAMI KENOYER tells of appearing all over the country asking for money to buy meat for the cannibals of Africa. DARLENE MITCHELL is telling how she was an agent and one of the company's best saleswomen for Ladies' Safety Razors. Their story telling is interrupted by a clanking sound as BARBARA BALDWIN goes charging through on her headless horse collecting long forgotten library fines. We hear another clatter, BEVERLY CHAPIN is tap dancing on the tombstones again, she lust can't seem to break the habit after teaching tap dancing for so many years..Although BOBBIE LEE AUGHE was a grandmother many times her hair never did turn gray, thanks to the special process which she invented. Between missionary trips to Siberia, SYLVIA WRIGHT went to California and made a fortune gathering snails and selling them to French restaurants. Peering into a crypt we see a huge bag of bones with a C.O.D. tag from Africa -Tami didn't raise sufficient funds. Let's look in-poor ALFRED LEENSTRA, once a distinguished quack doctor from Laurel, is still clutching a scalpel handed to him by his charming nurse, MARILDA ENDERSBY. KAY AKER is telling his former classmates that he ran an undertaking parlor for all deceased teachers. He tells them that he finally had the last laugh on Mr. Chasteen. At the other end of the crypt MAUREEN FEENSTRA is telling MARY LOU GRA- HAM that she had enjoyed life teaching teen-agers how to crumple four fenders is one easy movement. Mary-Lou in turn is telling her how she sold Kleenex for the Mary-Lu-Lu Company. RON PEDERSON is showing JACK ASPLUND some of the wrestling holds he had used in the days of Gorgeous Ronnie. Jack Asplund was the butler who had done it in the celebrated novel, The. Corpse Shot Back, by RICHARD, better known as Dickens, SOMMERVILLE. '
