Marion went onto the communications department to see if anyone there could help him pass the word of the reunion around. There he found Mary McCarthy sending messages out to Don Con- yers and Jim Graves, who were Satan’s jesters, and to Shirley Story and Betty Todd, who were in charge of turning Satan’s food. Upon checking, it was found that everyone from the class of ’ 55” in Hades had been informed of the reunion. Ruth and Mike had ascended into Heaven and had gained entrance past the Pearly Gates under guard. Mike’s guards were Bill Todd, Wayne Wiles, Grover Cundall, and Eugene Dasher. On hearing music Ruth turned to the left and found the angel Gabriel, trying to teach Doug Reno how to blow his horn. Standing nearby was Carolyn Robinson, wishing she could learn too. On farther, Ruth saw five of the cutest little cherubs playing on a soft, downy cloud. These sweet things were none other than Larry Jenkins, Irma Redden, Doris Ehlers, Stuart Nielson, and Larry Mendenhall. Hearing what sounded like legal procedings, Ruth found the Celestial Board sitting in judg- ment of conduct not befitting an angel. The angel, George Meisinger, was sentenced for having his halo dimmed for two centuries. The board, Maybelle Warga, Nancy Perrv, Jay Dee Drueker, Larry Molck, and Melvin Wilson, said they would be out of session and would be only too glad to come to the reunion. The goddess Venus for the twenty —first century turned out to be Jo Ann Egenberger, while the god Mars was Don Freeburg. Jo Ann and Don gave Ruth directions to the Hall of Famous People. Ruth found Mary Thimgan, who had become the firstwoman President of the United Sta- tes; Nancy Land, who was acclaimed as a second Cleopatra; and Dean Dunham, the most fam- ous sleuth of all time; the world’s strongest orator. Bill Wever. A one—winged angel dipped over Ruth’s head and bounced onto the nearest cloud. The am- atuer flyer turned out to be Norman Clark, who was apprenticed to Jean Raftery and Janet Rouse on the subject of the finer points of flying. Pat Winscot was apprentice to Carol Burch, who had been named the finest harpest of the century; and Marjorie Adkins and June Dietl were appren- ticed to Catherine Berlett to learn the art of oration. In the haunting department, Wade Arnold and Betty Winters were filing reports on their last missions. Pat Janda was reported to be haunting good old P. H. S. As time was drawing nigh, Ruth proceeded to the reunion of the class of 1955. Everyone had assembled in the ruins of P. H. S. when suddenly Eileen Wiysel came in drag- ging a big gunny sack. Eileen explained that they had the soul of the angel who had fought so valiantly. When the sack was dumped onto the ground, everyone saw that it was their missing classmate, Roger Hi Id. A wonderful time was had by all, and it was agreed that we should have a repeat reunion every 100 years. THE END —21—
