I, FIRST, TRIP TO MARS Strange to say, the drama of this his- tory-making flight began when Charles Gelinas, a reputed scientist, an- nounced the completion of plans for his rocket ship, the Rigor Mortis, a ship intended to make the first known trip to Mars. As no financial support was offered Charles, he was forced to turn to his friends for money contributions- and his friends were the Class of '48 of S.A.H. The first name he looked up was that of Normand Bedard. He found him begging on the White House steps. After all, Normand was tired of entering beauty contests and losing: he had re- tired. His exhaustion was complete, his legs so knocked-kneed from fatigue that one knee said to the other, I let you pass first last time, now give me a chance. A penny was his contribution. Doris Dube, vocalist with Tom jones and his City Pipers, was next visited by Charles. As he entered, she was sing- ing her favorite song, I Love You for Seventy-Mental Reasons. She donated two bars of this song and Tom's wallet containing a couple of sour notes. Then he found Rita Charest looking very adorable in her new baseball dress. A fish and chip magnate is she, but it seems that her habit of chipping the people was costing her many custom- ers. Nevertheless in her great gener- osity she donated all of these customers to Charles On his way out he chanced to meet now philosophers famous for their joint saying Love is the only fire there is 5000000006000 lo o fic s' fo fo' 5 4 Vo ' v O. - H 5- ' bf! . r v O .

To them, Mars was only a candy bar, so why con- tribute? Charles then proceeded to the hos- pital to see Eugene Gregoire, who had sprained his ankle during the '47 foot- ball season. Now, in 1960, he was still in the hospital, making sure that his ankle was well rested. Naturally, he could not help the solicitor. Private Nurse Laurette Nolan came into the room just as Charles was leaving. To his relief, she contributed 315. and a roll of adhesive tape. Q Bank President Florence Marmen re- ceived Charles most cordially. She im- mediately wrote a check for Sl0,00U., commenting at the same time on how prosperous the bank had become since the last Paying Window had been re- moved and a Receiving WindoW in- stalled in its place. Charles' next stop was at Priscilla Rose's Dance Studios. Priscilla seemed very generous in donating Sl,O0O., but to Charles who knew she was married to a multi-millionaire, it seemed very skimpy indeed. Of course, she will not admit she proposed to him: she insists she just nudged him a bit fwith a rolling pinl. The law-firm employing Therese Poir- ier next received Charles' visit. Regard- ing him as a suspicious-looking individ- ual, they were just about to eject him from the office, when Therese yelled out, It's not his fault if he's always asking for money, he was our class treasurer in high schooll Therese donated her
