Qhe jiourglass SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY May 1, 1966 Always with a flair for the spectacular, the Class of '46 decided to end all this quibbling nonsense about Mars and go.see for themselves. With the aid of atomic energy, radar, rocket ship and Republican County Superintendent of Schools, of Shelby County Illinois inamely, W. H. Wilsonl-they shot off into space, piloted by that handsome daredevil of the ionosphere, Gene Hiatt. Gene needs no intro- duction because his courageous undertakings and breath-taking adventures have made front-page news from here to there and back again. But for the benefit of those people who cannot read, we are only too glad to announce that Heroic Hiatt's latest novel performance has been the remarkable feat of parachuting out of a plane without a parachute. He always lands on his feet. Hiatt's timekeeper Calso world-famed two-timerl, Joyce Hiatt, insisted on a plane with twin motors. Eimekeeper Hiatt announced that they would reach their destination within three ays. Herb Collins, popular radio crooner of W.D.Z., agreed to make a personal con- cert tour for the Martian barbarians. It is the current belief that the Good Neigh- bor Policy can be carried out with Mars through an understanding of national music. This is also the firm belief of our Democratic leader, President John T. Middlesworth. After all, look what the Conga has done for Pan-American relations. Herb plans to introduce the Martians to his latest dance called the Humdrumba . To relieve the tension of the emigrants, Conductor Collins serenaded them with his swing version of Pass the Biscuits . Immediately, Olive Krile, the able cook, came strutting down the aisle, throwing a rapid volley of biscuits at all seventeen passengers. Olive, you remember as the creator of the popular, platter- sized hamburger. She plans to open up chain restaurants on the planet. She has a long list of indentured waitresses back in the states, awaiting the call of the wild. These fortunate females will become the civilizing agencies in the new world. Already they are known as The Krile Kids . The ship zoomed into Mars exactly on time. After Ruth Dearman had led the group in Fifteen Rahs for the two Hiatts, Lona Doehring leaped out-the first to set foot on the fiery red planet. She scorched her toe, so she changed her toeless sandles for a pair of clogs. As Emogene Kircher was a little homesick, she quickly looked for the Sun which was only 141,500,000 miles from Mars. As night descended, Dorothy Wilson, noted astronomer, observed through her trusty telescope the two satellites called Demos and Phobos. Miss Wilson has pre- dicted a rapid migration of people from Earth to Mars. These emigrants, she says, will represent the youth of the country. She states that the three moons, visible in a Martian sky, and all at the same time-offer undreamed of romantic possibilities. Meanwhile, back in little old New York, a startling news flash, coming direct from Mars, electrified the public. Tobe Kircher. with the aid of a race of super- men, had begun construction of irrigation canals. His extensive ditch-digging career between Strasburg and Stewardson has helped to prepare him for the great work which he has thus far so nobly advanced. Vera Ulmer, busy with drawings showing intersecting lines of great geo- metrical exactness on the planet, was planning to baffle her contemporaries by publishing her work. She was also aiding Tobe Kircher in figuring out just what should be irrigated. 6trasburg Community Wigh Qgchool - 1946
