CHARACTERS: William Reynolds, officer in charge. Edmond Burke, an explorer. INTRODUCTION. It is the period of the reconstruction of America after being overthrown, and destroyed, as is pre- dicted by the prophets of today. America is in the process of reconstruction, since the whole country has been devastated through rebellious attacks of other planets. Washington alone has been rein- forced against these attacks and is now awble to pro- duce records and important information of the past. SCENE I Mr. Reynolds, in charge of the bureau of statistics, is viewing the city from his office window. He sees an airplane speeding towards him, and in a few min- utes he is speaking with the pilot of it. The pilot, Edmond Burke, reveals a secret which has long been a mystery to the few remaining people of the Unit- ed States. He tells how he has found some import- ant papers and documents through exploring the ruins of the northern part of Maryland. He goes on to say that among these papers he has found a copy of a most unusual volume, The Moth, publish- ed by the Taneytown High School five hundred years ago. The contents of this paper quite surprise Mr. Burke, as most of the names found therein sound familiar. 'Ihey together read the volume and upon finishing it, conclude that these names were well- lznown and no doubt were registered in the hall of .ame. A few short minutes elapse. At the end of this time Mr. Reynolds comes upon the information which confirms their belief. One by one they read off the biography of each individual as found in The Moth. The information which they find in their book of statistics is as follows: Franklin Baker, founded one of the greatest busi- ress colleges of thc world, the Baker Business In- stitute. Maurice Becker, a man of wonderful intellect, through working as a mechanic, came upon one off the most sensational inventions of his day,-The Electropelled Rocket. Robert Clingan, invented the one and only space ship, in which America has succeeded in communicat- ing with all neighboring planets, and by which Amer- ica now intends to get revenge on their enemy- Mars. Ralph Davidson, had done more in the field of Art than any other man who has ever lived. Only through his tremendous accomplishments in this great field has it been made possible to study and appreciate art. Mary Isabel Elliot stands among the leading opera singers of the world. Although many years have passed since her time, her voice is still heard through a new invention of radio. Ruthanna Flickinger was an outstanding charac- tcr in the business world. Rules and business meth- ods laid down by her are still being used without im provement. Dr. John Chenoweth through his famous electrical operations, entirely banished germs and disease. His original methods are still in use. Glenn Snyder after being in an aviation school for a number of years, became manager of the Three Point Airlines. Stanley Lutz invented the mechanical wonder of his age, the perfect robot. This was the robot that had a complete mechanical brain, and our robots of today have been developed from his theory. Carroll Troxell served very faithfully in the De- partment of Agriculture of the United States for several years, and contributed much toward the ad- vancement nf this field. Agatha Hahn was the greatest girls' athletic coach of all time. She developed the popular game of Zitxwp Ball, and her team held the championship for many years. Dorothy Haugh was one of the foremost designers of Parisian gowns, as Paris was the style dictator of the world in that age. Jane Long was a great Presbyterian missionary, who did a great part in converting the natives of Africa. Amelia Null won great fame as an elocutionist, both in the social and in the business world. Delmar Riflie, one of the world's foremost pianists, acquired much fame in his musical career. Pauline Stonesifer, one of the best typists, won great fame for being able to type the most words a minute. Romaine Valentine, after some years of study, be- came a graduate nurse. She became superintend- ent of Johns Hopkins. Mildred Shriner become the First Lady of the Land in 1945, and proved to be the most gracious White House hostess. As the two men close the large book of statistics a mighty crash is heard, a dazzling light fiashes: and in the confusion, one. hears the single word, Mars! JOHN CHENOWETH.
