Sf Illll MASS PIlflPHlfIlfS As the spaceship, The Pioneer, prepared for take-off, a group of people assembled on the ramp. Upon further observa- tion they were found to be the Class of 1956 who had gathered that Sth day of May, 1968, the tenth anniversary of their gradu- ation, to launch the first mass flight to Mars. The earliest to arrive was Sonjia Huf'fer, now Mrs. Eugene Smith, who held the hand of a small red-haired boy. She gave last minute instructions to her husband about the care of her lovely twenty room farm house just south of Sharpsville, and greeted a young lady in a snappy uniform carrying a doctor's kit. This was Mary Dragoo, a graduate nurse, who had devoted her full time caring for the sick in Bellevue. As they visited, they were joined by a third person, Sandi Fuller, who since graduation had worked her way up to director of personnel at the Stellite in Kokomo. Sonjia was first to notice the arrival of Jerry Flick and wife, nee Judith Mundell, who have lived in California since .Ierry's discharge from the Marines. Being the only ones fully qualified for the job, they were selected as the chaperones for the exploration. Une of our outstanding aeronautical engineers, Max Dill, strode toward the ramp with his lovely wife. Since graduation he has devoted his life to the service of our country. The group's attention was drawn next by a very well dressed young woman, Sandy Harper. Since opening her dress shop in California, she has been engaged in distributing the new. est fashions to the women of the United States. As she stopped to chat, Mrs. Jaci Ball arrived. Jaci has built a reputation for professional twirling and instruction since '56, Her most promising student was Lari Ann, her daughter, who won many honors in twirling contests in the United States, The crowd was hailed by Ed Dybalski and Jack Richter who had set up a sporting goods store in Florida immediately after their return from the Navy, and with the aid of their wives built it into a very successful chain store, All trussed up in a jet ace's duds, Tom Ma-sey swaggered to the ramp in a typical Texas walk. Tom had gained fame for his courage in testing the Navy's jet planes, and though a handsome and eligible male, he still remains single, Alice Winner was oiven a hearty welcome as she ap- proached the ramp. Working at Delco since graduation, she was still undecided about which boy she wanted to marry. A distinguished gentleman who had studied foreign lan- guages in France was back in his old home state to teach thee many different languages. He was known to us as Robert Doyersberger. A crowd of teen-age girls demanding autographs, rushed toward a handsome young man, For two years Bob Clevenger has been one of the most popular singers in America, The former Phyllis Young breathlessly arrived with her husband in tow, all the while greeting her friends. Phyllis, always fond of children, taught the third grade at Lincoln in Kokomo for a few years. A tall, distinguished young man carrying a medicine bag came striding toward the rocket. Shouts of Hi, Marv! greet- ed Dr. Woods, the most outstanding veterinarian in Indiana, who became famous with his cure for pigeon distemper Bill Brattain, who has been a sports announcer in Florida for about three years, seemed to be reluctant to leave his family and friends, but he was to be in charge of relaying messages back to Earth from Mars, Mrs. Raleigh Cassidy, the former May Andrews, told her classmates all about her new home in Kokomo and her two lovely children. May, since her graduation, had devoted her time to being a model wife and mother. A petite blonde with a bright sunny smile entered the rocket after :he bade her husband and two children good-bye Marita Hawkins had devoted the last ten years to making her husband, now a college professor, happy, being a den mother for her son's Boy Scout Troop, and teaching her daughter's Sunday School Class. Someone shouted, and the attention of the group 'fell upon a neat appearing man who stood on the ramp ready to enter the ship. Stanley Hannah had been a very successful farmer since graduating. Jim Burke and his wife were surrounded by Jim's class- mates who wanted to hear his account of life in the Navy, as he had just returned from the service. Larry lngels, the king of used car dealers in the Hoosier State was anxious to take off because this was to be his first vacation since graduation. Kirk Albright, a wallpaper and paint dealer, drove down from Kokomo to join the flight Kirk told his friends that he had led a guiet life in Kokomo with his wife and two children. Bev Kennith Butler came quietly up to join the class and greeted them warmly. After graduation he served four years as Chaplain in the army, and painted during his spare time. Allan Kendall stood of'f to one side discussing the particu- lars of TV with his assistant. Allan, vice-president of CBS-TV had been working for improvements in felecasting of video for his network and so he found no time for marriage, Now the attention of the crowd focused on a small lady in a smartly tailored suit, Judy Johnson, who had spurned romance for a career of teaching a commercial course in Sharps- ville High School. Though she was offered a job in one of Indie ana's leading universities, she refused in favor of her present work. A very good loking young man, surrounded by a group of admiring teen-age girls, tried to break away to board the ship. This was Bob Wallpe who won national fame pitching for the Cleveland Indians The former Connie Amsbury and Mary Bolin arrived to- gether and were immediately asked many questions about their modest homes and families, which they were loathe to leave Page Fifteen
