THE WEST SHORIAN JUNE 5, 1979 STAR EDITION FIRST MOCN CITY READY FOR OCCUPANCY Twenty years ago, on June 5, 1959, to be exact, a mass contract was signed by the graduating class of West Shore High School to establish a city on the moon. Today that city, Cheezville, is completed and ready for occupancy. lt was only through the efforts of each in- dividual member of the Senior Class of '59, that such a feat could be accomplished. The first successful flight to the moon was made by Gary Reeser and Fred Six in their chrome plated rocket Les Girls. Two weeks later, archaeologist Margaret Williams and chemical engineers Bill Zaiser and Melvin Myers, went there to experiment with the moon's sur- face and the atmospheric pressure. Their successful ex- periments made human habitation possible on the lunar planet. They invented the portable unisphere, worn on one's back like a knapsack. Thus with Good Housekeeping's approval of the uni- sphere, the architectural firm of David Hayseed Wat- kins, assisted by draftsman John Savage, electrician Gerry Prowell, and their four secretaries, pert Doris Brackbill, Janet Frey, best looking girl of the class of '59, Donna Kirkpatrick, and Marilyn Love-Lorn Kiner, began to design the city's buildings. Construction contracts were then awarded to engineers Dick Seasholtz, Leonard Lich- ty and Bob Bartlett. Their slogan is for better construc- tion Sea-Sholtz. Subcontracts were let to the Bart Myers and Joe Crognale Roofing Company, and to sanitation engineer, Richard Reed. Doctors Donald Beale and Linda Bohl, and their staff of trained nurses, Joan Luff, former West Shore High maiorette, Deanna Wolfess Wise, efficient Carol Young, and Susie Ever talkin ' Zimmerman, established the first lunar hospital. Since then Star Swiler, X-ray tech- nician, Barbara Kissinger, Lab Technician, and Bill O'Brien, alias Obie, optician, have been added to the staff. Mary Shelley and Lynda Cullen, medical secretaries, rocketing on the next flight from Earth are planning to ioin the staff. As a result of research by Charles Appleby, agricul- ture has been made practical, and Jim Vankirk has suc- cessfully begun to produce radiation vegetation. Dave York County Gearhart bought a small crater and plans to raise a herd of moon mongrels. And of course, no city would be complete without hunting and recreation centers. The moon city has two such centers owned by James Blantino and Jim Rineer respectively. Various planet parks have been set up and are manned by none other than forest rangers Jack Wi- nans and Bob Keefer. The former YWCA instructor, Mar- ilyn Telford, has started a swimming team, hoping to enter Olympic Competition in 1980. Dick Berry is an- nouncer for the Moon Dodger's Baseball Team of which Duane Wood is the star pitcher. Competition will be with teams from Jupiter, Mars, and Neptune. Late arrivals as teachers and professors for Cheez- ville's schools are Barb Jordan a'hd brief-case toting Shir- ley Hassinger, better known as Hassie. The high school will be taught by Pat Ritter, physics teacher, Joanne Stephenson, English teacher, and Mary Ann Wingert, history teacher. Linda France, presently Mrs. Phil Nace, and Nancy Goodall, '59's senior girl, will be professors at C.V.U. CCheezville Universityl. A business school will be headed by the world fa- mous speed typist Norma Anderson, formerly the pri vate secretary to J. Edgar Hoover, and Jeanie Banks, for mer secretary to the President of the United States Dennis Shellenberger is the business manager of the school, assisted by able-bodied bookkeepers, Lela Nicho las and Larry Goodling. Instructors in the secretarial di vision will be Donna Diffenderfer, Margaret Grugan, Ar lene Coover, Joyce Musselman, and Patty MacDonald all well known secretaries. The Accounting division wil be headed by Donald Porr, Elmer Wallace, Ed Kramer and Phil Nace, certified public accountants, and Dont Landis, l.B.M. calculator operator.
