SENICDR CLASS PLAY DOWN TO EARTH The comedy Down To Earth was presented by the Senior Class on October 14, 1957. This hilarious play was centered around three spirits, Wilfred, Agnes, and Pilon who des- cended to earth to get rich old Aunt Augusta to return with them. It seemed as if all of Aunt Augusta's relatives and friends were after her money. Herman Howell, who was very fond of Augusta was the exception. After much persuasion Augusta released her tight grip on her money and gave it to her relatives. She falls in love with Herman. Diane Clump, the maid, falls in love with that mischievious angel Pilone and ascends with Wilfred, Agnes and Pilone. Wilfred . . . . . .Tim McGinnis Pilone . . . . . Tobe Riedel Agnes . . . . . . .

CLASS PRCDPHECY In the year 1980, my friend and I happened to be passing Earth on our way to the Milky Way, so we zoomed down to see what our classmates of 1958 were doing. Our first stop was at a space station just outside Eartl1's atmosphere, where we refueled our cloud hopper, We found that we were in luck as HEN- RY MEKUSH and DAVID MILLER were co-supervisors of this particular space station. From them we learned that VAN CURLIS and DON RIEDEL were head engineers at the latest top secret Anti-space Jinx Development. While our ship was being refueled, we asked about the GREGG SISTERS. It seems that JO has been very happily married these past few years and JANET, with partner, LOU CRAMER, has been running a home for old maidens. It is said that they know all about such things! Just then LINA MAE BAUGHER came flying into the station on two atomic cylinders. She was headed for her husband's office in Preythel, Mars, and she informed us he is a private eye there. She went on to tell us about GINGER GRIBBEN'S home life in the town of Kavana on Venus. We also inquired of TOBE RIEDEL'S where-a-bouts and the reply was that he is playing in a comedy hit on the planet Venus. He was always a comedian and it has paid him to cultivate his talent. The show is being produced by ER- NEST RISNER and directed by CHARLES NUTTER. They are two eminent men indeed. Blasting off from the space station we passed JERRY BOGARD and RONNIE HOSTERMAN who are still playing basket- ball from one cloud to another. They never give up, do they? All of a sudden a news flash burst forth on our inter- planetary space radio. The light barrier had just been broken by those daring space pilots, J. D. HETZEL and JAMES MC GINNIS. Who Ccouldn't you guessj is serving as mechanic on their satel- lite space ship but BULL GILES. CTO think he was once interested in just car motorslj The announcer on our space system radar radio was that ever popular disc jockey of our time, RICHARD ALTHOUSE. We were passing over Europe just then so we buzzed down to visit BARBARA GROTE. She is doing very well for herself in the position of head professor at the well-known Martauren University in Ger- many. She informed us that ELLEN DUTCHER had just arrived in Saterola to join her husband in taking a cruise to Pluto. When we stopped over night at the Plantopekin Hoteleu' owned by HELEN SPRAU. She told us all about SANDY MASON'S career as a Universal artist who is constantly on the go from one planet to another. Our next destination was the United States. First we landed in California to see ELAINE FLECH- SENHAR. She is quite happy with her occupations of housewife and private Secretary at the Satellite Inc., QA corporation that produces Satellite Cloud Hoppers.j She was taking the Universal news correspondent, MARY ADAMS, to see the sights, including Santa Catalina Island - The Island of Romance. We pointed our ship toward that wonderful state of Ohio. There we found MARY BABCOCK and SUZANNE LININGER very happily married and living in the new city of Neptia. We passed NANCY HETZEL as she was shopping at the modern Big Dipper Market. She was thrilled over her pilot hus- band's feat as you can imagine. This market was designed by the Universally know architect, DON JOHN- SON she told us. By this time we began to feel the pains of hunger, so we blasted off to find a good outer space restaurant. We stopped at the Jupiter Jive House, which is located some twenty light miles from Jupiter. To our delight, we discovered that DON WARD was part owner of this delightful establishment. He and VERLIN RIEDEL had put their life savings into it and are now reaping the profits. We were waited on by PHYLLIS SHELLHORN who seems to enjoy her occupation immensely. We then zoomed over to Uranus where we found MERLYN REED operating the Uruta Beauty Shoppe and he is doing a thriving business. CHARLES WOLFORD was managing a branch of the Satellite Inc.. only a swish down Southwest of this beauty shoppe, so we put the ship in there to talk with him. We were greeted by GENE GOODMAN who does the books and is social director there. He told us that Charles was on one of his eXtraCurriCu1arS. namely. showing their new prominent salesman, LYNN BELL the strings of the business. After conversing for a while we made our take-off and traveled on to Neptune where PAUL BRIDGE- FORD was Universal Television-Telephone Technician of the Unite Planets. He said that this was a huge job, but the U.T.T. branch on Saturn, which was headed by DAVID HAWKINS was one of his best aids. On our way to the Milky Way we discussed how the world had certainly changed from our good old school days and how wonderful it is to live in the United Universe.
