pfzopiiecii Here I am, spinning around the earth in the first man carrying rocket, The Paxtonickf' The scientists who developed The Paxtonick are Bob Stanford and Gerald Fuoss. My former classmates- granted me the honor of being the first person to go into space with orders to record all data on the conditions of the stratosphere. The rocket has a viewscope, a device to enable me to see what the happenings on the earth are. There isn't much action in outer space right now. I think I'll focus my viewscope on earth and see what became of my other classmates. There's Rochester, Minnesota and, of course, the Mayo Clinic. There seems to be major surgery taking place there. The chief surgeon, Pat Henson, is operating on one of her former classmates, Jerry, Speedster, O'Donnell. I wonder what happened to him. Oh, now I remember. He was in a pile up at the Indianapolis 500-Mile Speedway. Mickey, The Terror, Henson skidded and turned over right in front of O'Donnell. I seem to remember Mickey had quite a reputation for driving too fast while in high school. There are nurse, Nita Newman, and chief interne, Noel Workman, walking down the corridor. I wonder if there is a romance between the two yet. Washington, D. C. is coming in clear now. There seems to be a disturbance in Congress. Rodney Parks, who is Speaker of the House, seems to be the cause of this commotion. He evidently still has the faculty for stirring up general confusion. All is calm in the Senate. Senators Bill Peterson and Larry Hubler are talking things over in their usual quiet manner. I heard recently Donna Golden is chief secretary to the President. I always thought Donna would make a good secretary. I just got a buzz from the boss at base to go around the earth. I wonder if any of my fellow classmates are in foreign lands. The huge continent of Africa is now below me. What's that down there? Why, it is a Foreign Legion outpost. I see Bob Foster and Stanley Sharp are standing guard duty. Can I believe my eyes? Under that palm tree-yes, it is-Bob Zeschke and Bob Marshall asleep. Certainly a familiar sight from high school days. I guess high school was too much for those guys, and afterwards they went into seclusion. I see Jim Ashmore is President of a huge automobile factory in India. It looks as if Pres. Ashmore is quite disgusted with two men in mechanic's clothes. Why. it's Eldon Campe and Dwaine Saldeen who evidently ran that car through a showroom window. It looks as if the car ahnost ran over two prosperous-looking Americans standing outside. I am almost certain those Americans are Larry Riggle and Alan Jamison. Zooming across the Pacific Ocean, I am back over the U.S., and Hollywood is now below me. I wonder if anyone from Paxton is a movie star. I guess so! There is Carol Goode's name in lights at Graumann's Chinese Theater. She is starring in the famous movie, Love Them, Then Leave Them, co-starring Bill Morrison. Bill has told me that he holds the record in receiving the most fan mail. Bill informed me, when I saw him last, that Larry Beland had been selected to star as Tarzan in the forthcoming television series. Larry Brown will be the gorilla in the Tarzan series. I am having such good luck with this viewscope that I think I will try my luck in Arizona. I see there is a rodeo in Arizona. There comes the King of Cowboys, Eddie Karr, with the Queen of the Rodeo, Wanda Vest, and that body under the roped calf can be none other than Jerry Johnson. Something exciting seems to be happening 22
