Prophet: The year is 1962 and we find ourselves aboard the giant rocket passenger ship X-3 which we found was owned and piloted by the great air -wizard, Kenneth Merkle. He told us that he traded his 36 'Chevy' on a X-3. He tells us that he gets all his fuel at Frye's Super- Service Station. The fuel is new on the market and was discovered by the leading U. S. chemis Koch and Fisher, by mixing soap suds and acid. All mechanical work on the ship was done by Frye's head mechanic, Bernard Krall. We are now coming in for a landing on the Ft. Wayne, Indiana Air Base which we find is managed by Harold Brorein. After seeing the town for a short time we decided to visit the mayor who is none other than the honorable William L. Schlickman, so we ask him to tell us about the other members of the Class of '52 . He tells us that there are a few others, besides himself, who have found their occupation in Ft. Wayne. The largest undertaking par- lor in town, Digger O'Don's place is owned and operated by Don Baker. We are told that to- night there is to be a basketball game between the Pistons and the Minneapolis Lakers. This promises to be a very exciting game in which the leagues' top scorers will oppose each other, Gene Moose Thatcher, who replaced Boag Johnson of the Pistons and Bob Bones Hey, who replaced George Mikan of the Lakers. Ken Lautzenheiser, coach of the Pistons, has done a remarkable job with the team and they are expected to take the championship this year. The remaining member of the class of '52 is Bud Frank who Mayor Schlickman tells us is now owner of the largest goat farm in America and is doing very well for himself. The sun will be setting soon, but wait ----- something is missing. The women! The earth is serene! Hmmmmmmm! Where are they? The mayor explains that the domestic world is set aside from the rest because of the intense noise. So we climbed into a robot taxie and headed for the women's world. We were creeping down the main street at 75 miles per hour when a policewoman stopped us. 'fYou are holding up traffic! Who should the creature be, but Mary Ann Merkle. We renewed old acquaintances and traveled on. The mayor wanted the latest edition of the world's greatest newspaper, The Banaka, so we stopped at the nearest newstand. The editor of the paper turned out to be Beverly Agler, and on the front page there was a story about a famous swimmer, Evelyn Humerickhouse. It told how she received a trophy for swimming the English Channel. She also received the nickmane of speed demon because she set a record for swimming the channel--130 miles in 30 minutes. The newstand was run by Shirley Smith. There were quite a few kids running around and after she said they were hers I presumed she was married. There was an artist's studio next door to the newstand. It is run by Mrs. Leonard King. She paints portraits of famous persons--such as Barbara Marbaugh, the world- famous ballerina, and Emma Allmandinger basketball star of the 'Bearkittensi Emma won the, W. A. A. fWomen's Athletic Awards for 1959-62. Marilyn also mothers five little Kings . We passed down long boulevards of huge trees seemingly growing to the sky. Among these trees, quite a distance from the road, stands a beautiful stone mansion. This old house had been converted to an animal hospital and was operated by Edna Bailey and her 'hubby' when he is home. Farther down this boulevard is the Women's Country Club where Donna Baker is a golf instructor. She turned professional after winning the women's Amateur Cup for sportsman- ship and playing the game itself. Gloria Alspaugh is coaching a bowling team at the club. There are so many legs a- round that once in awhile the balls hit the wrong pins . We are heading back to the men's world when we saw a young girl taking her flying license. She signaled a stop and who should climb out after the girl but Helen Roehm. She was giving flyers their tests and I could remember back when she could hardly drive one of those ancient cars. Ah well ............... It is time to leave. We have left the mayor at his home, repeating farewells and pro- mising to return soon. We climbed aboard the X-3, once again seeking new adventures. A day has ended .......... ts
