Jnfuuzaat lvfzgnniq- ' Well, folks, here's Father Time, the mythi- cal reporter, to tell you what's happened to the Class of '49. Says Ma to Father Time the other day, Pa, it's time to check on .the 1949 Class of Spring City High School. They have been on their own long enough, now we should see what's happened to them. As Ma and Pa went up to the roof to check on their space rocket, they found Richard Slifer and Bruce Tiffany bent over the motor making all necessary adjustments for a trip to the moon. They had decided that Ioan Bickhart would pilot the rocket. I think that here an explanation should be made. Some years after the class had been graduated, a method was found to charge the planets with heat and air, so that they would be conditioned for human habi- tation, though in doing this some of the sun's energy was lost. lt was the duty of Ma and Pa Time to make journeys to the sun, now and then, to investigate, recharge, and crank it. Since it was about time for an inspection tour, they decided to combine business with pleasure and, on the way home from the sun, stop at the various planets where mem- bers of the Class of '49 lived. So they set off and journeyed along through space. Finally they arrived and completed their task on the sung then they set out to visit the planets. The first planet visited was Mercury where Marguerite Noel had journeyed to work as a secretary along about 1969 when the trav- eling bug hit her. Gerald Moeller was the only doctor on Mercury with a thriving busi- ness, while Phil Carl was president of the alumni society and was doing a capable job, as usual. Here Ken Weber directed and played in his own dance band for which Betty Catt was the singer. lean Gumma had majored in social studies while in col- 1.1 9 I Forty legeg later hearing of the poor social condi- tions on Mercury, she came and did a fine job. Both Pat Haller and Mabel Neil were sec- retaries for a large firm that exported star fragments. Albert Carl was the proud owner of The Rockets -his own baseball club. Venus was the next stop. The three dash- ing secretaries for the Venus Roses on the Rockies' Perfume Company were Pauline Beitler, Nancy Fry, and Io McCormick. The same company employed Ieanette Stipa, ac- countant, and Ruth Mitchell, telephone op- erator. Loren Guss, a famous surgeon, was instrumental in building a hospitalg the con- tractor on the job was Artie Miller. Robert Blauser was the photographer for all the local high schools, his newly-employed effi- cient secretary was Nancy Diemer. Speeding and weaving through outer space, dodging meteorites all the while, the space ship aimed toward Mars. Artie Stone had a large pig farm here and exported salted, curly tails to earth. Betsy Godshall had an R.N. after her name, while Ianet Hyden was redecorating the interior of the hospital where she worked. Dorothy Wenger was the directress of admissions at the same hospital. Blanche Collopy owned a self- service market and employed Dorothy Pow- ell as her cashier. Fred Hurlock, that guard- ian of law and order since high school days, had charge of the National Guard of Mars. Donald Buckwalter owned a garage where Hazel Hacker had painted murals on its sliding doors. Iupiter, king of the planets, was the scene of varied activities. Here Russell Funder- white and Robert Keeley were engaged in scientific satellite sunflower farming for the government. Edward Davis was building a bridge from jupiter to one of its moons to facilitate atom-car travel. Helen Roden- berry, lean Hoffert, and Betty Eckenrode were script girls for the Iupiter Movie Com- pany, which was filming at that time, Duel
