eachfa We were on a planet-wide tour in our sputnik, The Junior when we passed a rocket ship called The Music. It was owned by that famous pair, Barbara Cox and Billy Stanton,the queen and king of rock-n- roll. The were on their way to earth to put on a show. Barbara now has a diamond -studded sax and Billy a transparent guitar. Rich I guess! A few stars later, we passed over Mars,and guess who was in the King's Palace. Yes, Gary Shannon. But, he's only the king. Ramona Worman's the queen and she runs everything including Gary. We also see Ronnie Johns thereg he's the janitor. Ronnie's married now and is the father of two sets of triplets. EEk! What was that. Oh, I guess it was just Wyndetta Graham and Nancy Foust practicing for the king. They are singers and dancers in the King's Harem. They always have been interested in singing since they played the part of singers in the senior play. Next we passed over Mercury and there was Richard Arnold and his assistant Joyce Penrod working on a rocket that would enable the people on Mercury to reach Earth. Richard and Joyce have been planning to tie the knot for years. No! It can't beg but it is. Earl Meshberger is down on his knees begging Sue Reynolds to take him for a ride in her Rocket for Men. It seems that Sue is the ruler of Venus and somehow she got the idea she was the beautiful goddess. She has obtained the name, The Bad and the Beautiful. Contrary to school days, Sue and Earl seem to be pretty good pals. As Saturn comes into view on our finder, we see Donnie Schooley working in an Automatic Theater. All you do is press a button and everyone is seated. Well, we've been traveling quite a while now. Let's stop off on Neptune. Swoosh. Here we are and here comes Caroll Williams, the proprietor of the Neptune Motel and Refueling Station. Everyone stops at Caroll's. A Some of the travelers staying over in Caroll's Motel were Nancy Pinkerton and Bob Fear. They were married only two weeks ago by our good friend Rev. Carl Pease. After the ceremony, Rev. Pease had to hurry back to his beautiful wife, Anne - Anne Bryant as we know her. Ann and Carl always were fond of each other. As we come in closer range of Uranus, we can see Donnie and Ronnie Engle's mansion. They haven't been getting along too well. Ronnie lives in one half of the house and Donnie in the other. They both have lovely brides - twin sisters at that. Now we're traveling near a road in Pluto. Oh no! There's Carolyn Davis chasing Dennis Diffenderfer again. She is driving her jet-propelled police car. All the police on Pluto are policewomen. Carolyn is the head of the whole force. Dennis has a jet -propelled car also. He just loves to have the police chasing him, especially Carolyn. We should stop off on Earth before we go home. We are now over Elvis Presley's home in Tennessee. My what a lovely housekeeper he has. Why, it's Jone Gregg, Elvis is retired now and Jone waits on him hand and foot. Lately she's been all shook up leaming that she will inherit Elvis' teddy bears. Well, it's been a long journey and we're sorry we have to leave but we must get back to our castle on the moon. , an. I 5 . 'K' xH .n -2 '-Ysfiz 'ttf-1-5'--' .-. ina:- . ., .. ,,,.
