(Hass GP cophecy By ANNIE HUFHAM It had been 19 years since I was put in jail here on Mars. I had been trying to decide what I would do after my release from prison. I had to serve 20 years for speeding 1,500 m.p.h. on the new space high- way. After the 20 years were over, I decided to look up my classmates of the Class of 1960 at good old N. C. S. D. First I found Gerry Gardner standing at a crowded street corner in the capital city of Mars. She was with her midget husband, Billy Davis, who is much too short for Ger- ry’s six feet ten inches. I guess the doctors really don’t know too much about those new height pills yet. After talking to Billy and Gerry, I flew to Hawaii in a space jet. I saw Barbara Phillips at the airport with her quintuplets. She said she was waiting for her husband’s plane to land. He had been away on the moon on business for two weeks. I asked her if she knew anything about Frank- lin Handy. I had heard that he was living in Hawaii, too. I was certainly surprised when she told me that Franklin had married a Hawaiian girl and that he was now the governor of Hawaii. An hour after my con- versation with Barbara, I landed on the moon in the hopes of finding some of my classmates there. I bought a copy of the Lunar News and there in big black head- lines on the front page I saw: “MISS UNI- VERSE, QUEEN GAY MILLER, HERE FOR WEEKEND.” I was at the airport waiting when her plane landed. My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw how lovely Gay was! She was dressed in a purple bathing suit covered with precious stones. The engagement ring she was wearing was set with the Hope diamond. I went up to her and asked her if she remembered me. She answered no and walked off and left me standing all alone, feeling very sad be- cause she had forgotten all about me. I guess I have aged a lot since we last met. I left the moon and flew to Egypt. I saw a man there coming down from the top of the highest pyramid. It was Biff Baxter and he was trying to find Ruby Stevens. He had already looked all over Europe for her. I think poor Biff must have lost his mind, thinking he could find one little Ruby among all the billions of people in the world, to say nothing of the other planets. From Egypt I flew to Italy and found Terry Wright at his printing shop with his feet propped up on his elegant desk. He told me that he was not hiring any more workers and to get out! I had wanted to speak to Terry and tell him how happy I was to see him, but his secretary threw me out before I had a chance to explain that I wasn’t look- ing for a job. Out on the street a very fat woman greeted me. She must have weighed over two hundred pounds, and at first I did not recognize her. It was Grace Canady! I wondered how in the world skinny little Grace had ever gotten so fat. She must eat a lot of spaghetti. Grace told me a lot of news. She said that Beverly Willis had mar- ried one of Khrushchev’s nephews and was now living in Russia. She told me that George Pierce was now the football coach at N. C. S. D. and hadn’t lost a game so far. Through Grace I also heard that Elizabeth Allen and Clint Thomas were married and living in Africa and that Martha Duffell and Gene Hull were married and living in Mor- ganton with their seven children. When I got back to Mars, I was captured and put back in jail for leaving the planet without a permit. I was certainly glad that I had seen or heard about all my classmates before I had to start serving my second 20- year sentence!
