these unusual movements. Coming 10 an abrupt stop, we soon discovered that the strange action unveiled into two of our old shipmates, Cadets Marie Rueger and Shirley MacKenzie. As a result of a space collision, they were shipwrecked here shortly before our arrival and were sending up an urgent S. O. S. with the hopes of being seen. . . .Our curiosity was rewarded. Once again, we set off for Neptune which we reached without mishap. Pilot Hennigar arranged for us to attend various classes here under the instruction of Officers Nicholas Morace, Lawrence Healy, Theodore Williams and Fernand Barrette. During this year Navigator Provencher received transfer orders which demanded her presence on Uranus. Soon thereafter, we received a wire from our Home Base Chief, Mr. Somes, that Navigator Trocchi would join us to take over the vacant post. Time was getting short so we returned to the Future Bound with plans of passing over moonlit Pluto and proceeding to Saturn. Our plans were soon upset when at the request of Cadets Ronald Pezze and Harry Meyer, we stopped shortly on Pluto ' s air strip to let them off. Upon arriving at Saturnville we were greatly distressed because of the loss of instruct- ors Lawrence Healy and Theodore Williams. These vacant posts were soon taken when Pilot Hennigar spied instructors Marie Walker and Thomas Norton roller skating around Saturn ' s star-studded ring. Repairs and need of fuel caused us to pause for a period of time. We Cadets, having served three-fourths of our time, entered our fourth year enthus- iastically. We headed the Future Bound toward Mercury, which Pilot Hennigar informed us, was to be our final stop before returning to our Home Base. Mercury proved to be the greatest of all challenges to us. Before entering our studies we were pleased by the enrollment of Cadet Henry Polastri who wished to conquer with us all future difficulties. With the guidance of Navigator Trocchi, we were able to complete our term in the alloted time. We Cadets, Roger Charbonneau, Rona Sande, Anne Thomson, Nancy Gilligan, Ann Markham, Frank Bachetti, George Bagnaschi, Marie Rueger, Verna West, Shirley MacKenzie, Ann Nott, Richard Boardman, Barbara Woodbeck, and Henry Polastri, proudly entered the Future Bound and set course for the dear old Alma Mater to show our Chief, Mr. Somes, the results of our mission and claim our rewards as full-fledged Cadets. The time has come for us to leave the ship Future Bound . We shall always cherish the fond memories of our trip, with sincere hopes that the knowledge we have acquired will make us capable of being good citizens of this worldly community. Class Will and Testament PREAMBLE We, the graduating class of the twelfth day, the sixth month--of the year of our down- fall—nineteen hundred and fifty-two, being without a doubt, the most abused and underpriv- ileged class ever to leave hallowed halls--do hereby announce to no one in particular and everyone in general this to be our last will and testament. Since we have made no previous will prior to this one, we will not bother to revoke or annul same. 21

Scrap 8. Ann Markham wills and bequeaths to any future commercial student, the ability to foul up the mimeograph machine every time she runs off a stencil. Scrap 9. The wit amongst our little tribe, Roger Charbonneau, disposes the trait on carrot- topped John Martin. Scrap 10. Anne Thomson, our girl athlete, wills her ability to get thrown out of a basketball game (on fouls of course) during the first quarter to Sandra Pinkney. Scrap 11. George Bagnaschi leaves his ability as a leader to Thumper Frank Smith. Scrap 1Z. Barbara Woodbeck, the she-wolf in our klan, leaves her ability to flirt with any boy to Dora Warren. Scrap 13. Lanky Dick Boardman, bestows his title of Class Heartbreaker to his kid brother, Shears. Scrap 14. Our food lover, Marie Rueger, leaves her exceptionally large appetite to Ann Macy. To see that our last desires are fulfilled after having completely exhausted each and every fragment, we present this power of attorney to Mr. Thomas Norton so that these infamous re- quests are executed as a final act of kindness to a thought-little-of group of obsequious, uneducated mortals.
