men and women of the world usually oegin upon trel graduatlon from hlgh school In l9C5 twenty two sophisticated Sen iors from Pocahontas High School proudly stepped forth into their roles as men no women of the world Many years have since passed and those twenty two Sen lors have entered 1nto all phases of life's work They are lndeed playing a axeat part in our history To begin our story of twenty two Seniors, let us start w1th Robert Slever Bobby, as he was famlllarly known then, is now a familiar figure on the inter planetary cene He is the head of the Designing Department of the Mars Rocket Corporation,whlch produces the mo t wanted space ship in the air today In ouiw a different walk is Ruth Craig, who has achieved her desire to become an Englldu tea her, but better than that, she Pas oeen named principal of Juplter's Academy Cloria Rea, ls the name on every m les' lips Gloria has risen so far as to have h r n me in r ht li hts from heretoevery body in the solar system Never has there been such a face and flgure s1nce the days of movies, t v , and Marilyn Monroe Now as I sre k of this next personallty,I need not mention his name for mf you ate your Atom Energy Puffs this mornlng,you will surely know of whom I am speaking His gre t ingenuity and imagination led himin develop a breakfast cer eal for kiddies that even grownups insist upon every morning Of course, this could be none other than Duwayne Childerson While on the subject of food the President of the United Kingdom of Planets is one of the best fed men around these days Several years ago after sampling some divinity Fade by Dori Vise he would not leave her doorstep unt1l she consented to make divinity for him the rest of his life In a nat1on's part in history, rarely is lt free from the marks of war Our world is not an exception, and only two years ago it was guid leadersof our time Without the genius and daring mindcf General Larry Mounger urely the right buttons and switches would not have been pulled One of the happiest married women of the solar system today is the former Shelby Ammann,aho has just published her first ilustrated book entitled HOWTO MARRY A TRILLIONPIRF lncldently, she did not catch this one on earth Barbara Beard, after having raised six young menis now raising pastel colored mlnks as a hobby,and is having very good fortune since the latest thing in bathing suits is lavender mink Many of you surely have wondered who judges the many beauty contests held each year The one and only honorable slr who travels from planet to planet each year and selects the most beautiful is of course Johny Oravec, the emlnent uthority on perfect proportions Susie Strotheide, began as a nurse some years ago but was determined to achieve gre ter he Vhts This she did After many tolling hours and sleepless nights she has become the most famous brain sur eon of all times The big news a few months ago was the annextion of Mars to the United States The brilliant statesman who engineered this deal was inaugurated as President of the United States You all know him well Roger Sugg Geraldlne Gruner did not suite become first lady of the land, but do not underestimate her She did just as well, she was installed as Vice President The defense plan of Pres Sugg could not be carried out so fully Ilthout he courage and daring of our hundreds of observation rocket pllots One in particular whose fearlessness we have seen, 1S a graduateof Pokey High However,hl Job is not the only thwng in life which requires courage It takes one courage for Clwfton Schmollinger to go home at night to his seven pairs of timy pattering feet Even in this busy and fast moving ape, the fine arts have not been forgotten One of the people who has done so much to enliven our love for good music is the superb baritone of the Muny Opera, Morris Clayton Once there was a very famous t v program entitled Dragnet Jack Nebb played the lead part of Friday, who became the idol of many boys One of these boys was determined not to let the memory of Friday die, o he now starsin tlis program which is seen on every planet It is none other than Gerald Sugg Texas has always been famous for oil, wldeopen spaces, and pretty girls It still is but they literally have to move over when Earl Gaffner cores home from his fre uent cruises through the Milky Way After graduating, he went down and took over oil, wldeopen spaces and the pretty girls uwanted Capa e secretary That was an ad placed in a want ad column several years ago Poya Bauer answered that ad, and
