Charlie Adams and Jerrel Martin, air force pilots, agreed to go on a test rocket flight. lt seems that an obscure Red Bank physics teacher worked out the flight plan of the rocket mathematically and, well-it seems that neither the rocket, nor Charlie, nor Jarrel, have been seen or heard of since. A moment's reverence please. Respectfully, DON HIXSON Prophet and Swami 140

Cfaaa nopiecy of 1957 My vision of the future came to me late one night while I was working in my cabin on my famous alco- hol distilling proiect. While I was in my stupor-pardon me, dream, I pictured myself as a scientist working for the government trying to establish distilleries on the surface of the moon lwell, after all, I was working with alcohol during my dreamt. The time was l972, fifteen years from now. My government proiect had taken me to my old home town of Chattanooga. I decided that while I was there and wasn't especially pressed for time I would do some research and find out what my old classmates were doing. First, I decided to look up three or four of the social elite of my graduating class. I found Chris Cle- ments, Sonny Johnston, and Paul Walker connected with a large, rapidly expanding and successful collec- tion agency. Sonny drives the truck, Paul picks up the containers, and Chris tosses the empty containers back down from the truck to Paul, etc., on to the next house, Carolyn Sprayberry was also connected with this firm. She was head of The Department of Sanitary Cleansing and Sterilization of Employee Uniforms. I returned to my hotel room and turned on the television. The particular set I watched was a develop- ment of electronic experts Fred Hamby and Clyde Pearson. The picture appeared in 3-D and full color. Before long a program was televised entitled THE GARY SANDERS SHOW. After much pomp and fan- fare, Gary appeared before the mike and announced, Ready kids, l, 2, 3, - hokus, pokus, Vid-e-o- kusll At this point he began to pass out candy, ice cream and mixed drinks. Also, at this paint I changed channels. Just as the newly switched channel came into focus I heard an announcer say, and now we present our famous guest star. The audience went wild. It was the popular hillbilly recording artist Stanley Boze- more. After this program came the series Football Forecasts narrated and directed by Travis Taylor, the television name of Travis Billingsley. I turned off the T.V. and went to a nearby book shelf. I picked up the volume, How to be a Re- spected and Well-Loved Member of your Community, by co-authors Don Nichols and Grady Gant. The authors may be contacted at the following address, Cell Block No. 6, Alcatraz Island, California. Next to their book stood the famous classic by William T. Rutherford, Ten Easy Ways to Drive Psychology Teach- ers Mad. I left my hotel room long enough to purchase a newspaper, the Robert McCrory Gazette. I noticed that Jerry Martin was Editor, Larry Craig, Associate Editor, Jack Miller, Associate to the Associate Editor, Jack Shrader, Consultant, and Kenneth Shannen, Proofreader. The Gazette seemed filled with news. Edith Harrison was engaged to a wealthy contractor, Jerty Sitten. However, at the last minute it appears that Sitten fell from the roof of one of his unfinished buildings. Roving reporter, Rex tHawkeyet Morris, reported that local authorities had captured two raving maniacs. Wayne Young was taken in a huge net while screaming, I am Elvis, my name is Presley. Patsy Alexander was taken into custody while repeatedly mumbling, My name is not Wally Cox-My name is not Wally Cox. Another report by Morris stated that prize-fighter Richard B. lBone-crushert Bird had been iailed for breaking the nose of basketball player Mousy Miles Springfield. Springfield had allegedly insulted Bird. I then glanced at the literary section and found that several of our Seniors had become authors. For instance, Barbara Hatfield has published a novel, PRlDE AND PRUDENCE , Barbara York, MARINE WEDDINGS , Ward Hultine, a technical iournal, THE EFFECTS OF FOOD COLORING ON HAIR , Bill Sanderlin, SUCCESSFUL CAR WRECKlNG , Carolyn Yates, WHY I PLAYED THE FIELD IN HIGH SCHOOL , Carole Jordan, HOW TO BE CUTE, SWEET' AND MENTALLY RETARDED , and, last but not least, Wayne tRadort Condra has published, HOW TO REMAIN SLIM, SLENDER AND GRACEFUL DUR- ING ADOLESCENCE. Reviewing the last pages of the paper, I found that George Demopolis, successful restouratuer, had iust borrowed 5l50,000.00 from Banker Ronny Adams for the expansion of his new restaurant. Noted philanthropist and manufacturer, Jae Brown, has iust donated Sl0,000,00 to a foundation sponsored by James McGrew for the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The stock market column showed that shares in Bales and Blevins oil had risen ten percent. 139
