mm Qilwxff 1XffffffffffffffffffffffffXfffffffffffffffffffffffI1fflfffffffff,. ., The aged old man with the long flowing beard cautiously climbed into the latest jet propelled rocket ship. Well, what do you know! It's Mr. Everson taking the first jaunt of his trip around the world. His doctor had ordered the trips after he had suffered a break-down, resulting from his sponsoring the 1952 senior class of N. P. H. S, 10 years before. Having settled himself in the ship, he was assured a safe trip by the attractive stewardess, none other than Norma lean Ellis, who had just finished a book of poems entitled How to Get a Man or My Ten Years in Sing-Sing. Coming back to see that everything was in order, the pilot, whom Mr. Everson recognized as Hollis Kennedy, announced that the plane would take off in 5 minutes. Helen Farmer, also a passenger on the plane, recognized Mr. Everson and told him that she, too, was taking a trip around the world. She had just made her first million and decided to take a rest. She told of receiving a letter from Phyllis Sleeth telling of her and Betty Stapp's marriage to two soldiers stationed at Camp Atterbury. Two hours later the plane arrived in New York. After saying goodbye to his friends on the plane, Mr. Everson set out walking. Passing a show window displaying a newly-invented car, he paused to admire it. A sign proclaimed that it was knockless, nosieless, wheelless, motorless, gasless, oilless, and motionless. The beauty was invented by none other than Jim Hammond. As he continued down the street, Mr. Everson met Charlie Miller. Charlie, he leamed, was a member of the National Debate Society which had just won the annual world's debate contest. He told Mr. Everson that Don Moeller, the brain of the class of 1952, was now professor of etymology at Columbia University. When Einstein died, Professor Moeller was proclaimed the only man in the world who knew everything! Continuing on his joumey, he hailed a taxi. A new program, 'How to Reduce in Ten Lessons, was on the radio. Goodness! That voice sounded familiar. Why, of course! It's Donna Marie Sutherland, who has become fabulously wealthy in the past ten years. As Mr. Everson alighted from the taxi, he heard a newsboy shouting, Extra! Extra! As he stood talking to the newsboy he was reminded of Phil Wilson, who in his spare time, still had a paper route in ol' New Palestine. Of course, he is principal of the high school in New Palestine also. Did you know that this school is now the largest in the state oflndiana? Yes, it has a total enrollment of 99, 999. My, how that townhas grown! Charlene Webb is, of course, the first grade teacher in the school. She received her A. B. degree from Harvard University. As he began reading the paper, he noticed that it was the Daily Blowhard from his home town and edited by none other than Jerry Oliver with the assistance of his secretary, Averil Lease. He read that the President of the United States, Hollis Dye, had left for a Florida vacation on his yacht The Indiana, and his secretary, Anna Seifert, had gone along as personal advisor. . ln another article, he read that Doris True had joined the Waves so she could follow Phillip Moos over the world. What's this? Jim Bowles has gone to Alaska to become a fur trapper. What a life!
