sul here is Jim Schumann. Jim is president of the Pharmacists’ Association, and a successful druggist besides. Jim’s secretary is Carol Rurgoon, who directs us to the Stellar Clinic. This is a beautiful modern building built entirely of unbreakable glass and plastic. On the first floor we meet Head Nurse Mary Ann Fledderjohann who offers to show us around the hospital. The first door to the right opens into Doctor Margaret Frame's office where Peggy is looking over an X-ray of a patient. Her nurse is Kay Myers. We chat for a while with Kay and Peg and then Mary Ann shows us down the corridor to Doctor Roger Haman’s office. Roger is a specialist in pediatrics. His nurse is Marlene Shaw. In the hall we meet Idalou Earl who is floor nurse here. Now Mary Ann conducts us up the elevator to the twelfth floor psycho ward. Here we enter the office of Doctor Roberta Berry, who is a psychiatrist. From her office we can see a great distance over Saturn’s lovely countryside. We also see our stewardesses waving for us to return to our ship and so we reluctantly leave this beautiful hospital. We are excited to learn that the next planet we will visit is the entertainment center of the solar world. It is the planet Uranus, whose capital city is Ureno. At the space port we are met by Byron Schumaker who snaps our picture and offers to conduct us on a tour of ‘Reno’. Byron is Earth Consul here and his secretary is Electa Botkin. It is late afternoon and the nightclubs are just opening. We meet Wanda Bice who invites us to dine and dance at the Eagles Club, which she owns. We accept the invitation and are surprised to find Valery Glaser is top vocalist here. Across the street in neon lights we see the name of another classmate, Jean McDonald. Jean is the star of a musical comedy called “Skys and Dolls”. Leaving Jean’s dressing room, we hear two familiar voices sounding forth in a beautiful duet. Turning the corner, we find that the music is coming from the opera house where Dean Armstrong and Jeannine Naus are singing their tenth encore. Dean also owns a dancing studio where he gives private professional lessons. In the opera house we encounter Phyllis Schaub who is an accountant, and helps keep Ureno’s accounts in order. We couldn’t leave Uranus without stopping at Norma Zwiebel’s Bingo Club for a game or two. Then, post haste, we board our rocket ship once more, and are off to Neptune. Neptune was named for the Roman god of the sea, and so naturally we would expect to find the Navy on this planet. Bruce Neidemire is the Earth Consul here and a great naval commander besides. His secretary is Barbara Knoch, a lieutenant in the WAVES. Bruce shows us around the docks where we meet mechanics, John Marker, Jim DcLong and John Lunz. They inform us that they get their tools from the McCormick Tool and Dye Co., which is owned by another classmate, Dick McCormick. Of course, we must take a tour of one of the ships and so we pick the U. S. Luna, which has made fifteen trips to different moons. The admiral on this ship is Bert Webb. His chief gunner’s mate is Bud Webb. After stopping in to see Dick McCormick, we again return to our space ship and put flight for Pluto. Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun and has only recently been inhabited by earthlings. The pacemakers to the planet have been missionaries, as in most new and foreign lands. We arrive in the early morning on a stretch of lantl which has been cleared into a forest. We are cordially met by Shirley Shelmadine and several of her Plutan friends. As yet there is no Earth Consulate on Pluto, so Shirley shows us around the exotic village where she lives. They are about to begin their church service and we are invited. Phyllis Luther is chaplain and Elnora Brenneman is the evangelist who leads the singing. Deaconess for the parish is another old friend, Mary Wrigley. After church, we chat with these classmates awhile and then leave for home. Sailing back through space, we feel we have had a pretty enjoyable vacation reviewing old friendships from the class of 1953. But something seems to be lacking. In our travels we have overlooked a very important planet, Earth! Since Earth is frequently referred to as the “Mother Planet”, it is there that children and students are educated for their work in the universe. Naturally, then, we find here most of the schools of the solar system, The children of classmates, Joan Stahler and Jeanne Webb, who were first to marry, and Sue Koch, who has musical ideas for her offspring, are privileged to have a number of excellent schools and teachers. Two of the best elementary teachers which these children might have are Miss Sandra Freeman and Miss Martha Ruck. In high school, Miss Nancy Stroh is a capable music teacher, and home economics are taught to future homemakers by Misses Barbara Wolfe and Barbara Ott. Joanne and Evelyn now operate the Lunz Business College. Car- 24 Continued On Page 80
