In the evening all of the passengers meet for dinner at the famous restaurant, The Greasy Spoon, which is owned and operated by Bob Hutton and Lauren Fleischman. The head waitei is Robert Ehlers. They ali have a wonderful evening. The dinner is excellent and the visit with their classmates, who they had not seen for nearly a hundred years is most enjoyable. When they leave the restaurant, they all say good-bye to the doorman Darrell Sudduth. The travelers hail a king-size cab and drive to a hotel. The driver of the cab is Alvin Plybon. When they reach the hotel, they are astonished to find the desk clerk is Bernard Kuhns, and the bell- boy is Larry VanderVeen. In the morning, after a good nights sleep, they all go downstairs for breakfast. Their waitresses are Sharon Biggerstaff and Emma Lea Stoehr, and the cashier is Betty Dolezal. In the lobby the travelers see Evelyn Kelsey and Arlene Lepidus, who are regular guests of the hotel. Again they hail a king-size cab and drive to the space port to continue their tour of the solar system. When they arrive there, they see Sandra Clark and Betty Longmore who have just returned from Mercury. Since it is the closest planet to the sun, it is always warm on Mercury. During the trip from Venus to Mercury, the passengers were entertained by several flute solos played by Connie Land. The trip was only a few million miles so it did not take too long. When they reached Mercury, they were astounded by the beautiful murals on the walls of the space port. The murals were painted by the eminent artist Gary Horan. As the group steps out of the door of the space port, they see Jim Morris and Matthew Wiysel flying down the street in the latest model Mercury car-plane which they have just designed. Jim and Matthew decide to take their friends around the planet to see some of the graduates who are now living on Mercury. They are happy to see that Jim and Matthew have made such a success of their lives. While flying in the car-plane, someone finds a magazine in the seat and notices that the cover has been illustrated by Gerri Aldrich. They page through the magazine and find an article which has been written by Dorothy Stoehr. From their flying vehicle the passengers see a carnival. They decide to land. While roaming through the carnival, they see Kathryn Thimgan selling tickets to go on a rocket ship. Harold Buffington runs the rocket ship. Some of the travelers decide to take a ride on it. When they climb aboard, they find that Larry Cundall and Bill Long are also waiting for a ride. The rest of the travelers, while wandering around the grounds, see Helen Malmos and Betty Sporer. After an enjoyable time at the carnival, the travelers again move on their way with Jim and Matthew in their car-plane. From the carnival the group go on to the printing plant of the largest newspaper on Mercury. The newspaper is owned by Janet Friedrich, and the editor is Toby Allbee. The chief reporters are Edith Kammerer and Peggy Moore. This has been a wonderful trip, but a tew of the members of the Class of 1958 have been missed. The travelers now board a space ship for Earth to look for them. When they reach New York City, they find that Janice McGraw is thrilling the world with her fabulous bass clarinet solos. Janice tells them that Herb Kraeger is farming in the south of France, so that is the next place they plan to visit. On their way to the New York Airport they are almost struck by a taxicab which is driven by Bill Hunting. Bill is very glad to see his old friends, and apologizes for his reckless driving. When the group reaches Herb's farm in the south of France, he is overjoyed at seeing them. They are surprised to be greeted by Mary Sullivan who owns half of the farm. Nancy Lancaster serves in the capacity of official egg gatherer, and Jim Holoubek and Norman Meints are the two top tractor drivers. The visitors stay at the farm a few days renewing their old friendships before starting back to their homes in Plattsmouth. This has been a long, but very wonderful, trip. They resolve to visit their friends from the Class of 1958 every 100 years 'til the end of time. 19
