La Barr's fortune telling booth. AliJ She was in a trance. She took me back . . . back . . . back to 1969, the ear the fabulous Clarence Thomas, democrat, was elected president. During is term he cnose Bill YYillford a3 Secretary of State and governor of all forty-eight states. Instead of Ohio, Tennessee, New York, etc. the states are now, of course, named illford I,'.7111- ford II, and so on up to forty eight. Naturally, this is a much better system. Wait, we are on another track--a railroad track. Here we are sitting beside occupational therapist Patty Wooten. She is just on her way to visit her old friends and former classmates, Mary Clonch and Mildred Martin, who are now owners of a large banana plantation in the deep South. As we travel along I look to my left. Wait, see that statue in the distance? It is of Betty Brown and Darlene Pailey, famous explorers who found the no-longer-lost village. And looki beyond that are the famous movie producers, Milam and Lvnch Production. They are working on their most famous and latest movie, Kiss, Hunt, and Kill, starring Isabelle Spires and Bob Nelson. Oh say, did you see that green streak just go by?

'aybe it was just an illusion but did you see the pilots of the Skyrocket that just buzzed past? I was almost sure they were our old friends and former class- mates, Bill Harman and Kenneth Wilcox. Perhaps not, but the way it was going I'm sure it was they—not less than 2,000,000 miles per hour. Oh good, it won't bo much longer now. Y e just crossed the borderline. They say it was named for some famous wo- man by the name of Joan Montgomery around the late 1950's See that large stream of water over there? There was a Mr. Kenpeth Searle3 who was said to have set a record by swimming across it in less than twenty-four hours. He was under the management of Mr.Bob Overly who was said to have pedaled around the world on a bicycle. OhJ and look beyond to the left. See the moosehead that looks as if it were mounted on a rock? It isn't really though. They say that the great sportsman, Thomas
