 BULLETIN: Cape Canaveral, June 14, 1982 The first United States space expedition to Venus has wired news of a phenomenal discovery on that planet. Our neighbor in the solar system is inhabited! The creatures are an intelligent form of life similar to our own! The existence of the two civilizations came as a simultaneous surprise to both. Tom Corwin, director of NASA here at the Cape, explained that the cloud cover surrounding Venus obscured Earth from them and Venus from us. Neal Dieterle, leader of the expedition wired that their civilization is roughly comparative to ours. The leaders of the Venusian government took the three members of the crew on a complete tour of the planet. The entire crew of three enjoyed it immensely. Neal and Alan Tannaz were amazed by the Venusian cars which floated on a cushion of air. Betty Thiesen, the first woman astronaut, expressed delight at the fashions of Venus. Yesterday morning the Security Council of the United Nations carried a resolution by Frank Johnson, U. S. delegate, 11-0 to allow the leaders of Venus to take a tour of the high points of Earth’s cultural society. Jutta Schuttinger, German translater, Marva Tomach, Spanish translater and Randi Langer, French translater said that all the delegates in the General Assembly heartily approved of the visit. Carolyn Cady, editor of the New York Times spoke for the newspapers of the world in recommending it. Louise Cohen, scatter-brained cirulation manager of the Times said that she was too busy being a girl Friday, that she did not give a darn. Last night, by means of the Air car, developed by the famous scientist Mike Pustay, they arrived on earth. The Venusians were greeted by Pat Mc Dowell,. First woman to be president of the United States and Jim Kallman, secretary-general of the UN. The aliens began their tour at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. There they admired greatly an ultra modern painting by Ricky Brandmayr. From the museum the men from Venus journeyed to Lincoln Center where the orchestra was conducted by David Matisoff. Other famous musicians there were Pat Hunter, Maxine Zaro, Doug Miller and , in the corner, Walt Diekroger on his tuba. The opera house resounded to an ovation for Arlene Hahn, the great Soprano. From New York the party traveled southward to Washington where they observed the famous Wax Museum. All were frightened when they saw a dark figure in the corner of the museum moving. However, the whole mattered turned out a s a joke when the mysterious shadow identified itself as the head janitor, Gunnar Anderson. At Washington the Venusians were given copies of the latest books written by the wizard author of Ofekenowkee Swamp, Ricky Cassoff. Besides his duties as third class intern Ricky has turned out a 7000 page volume titled How To Study and a 200,000 page marathon The History of the World from notes which he saved from a World History course in Junior High School Crossing the nation the tour halted at St. Louis, Mo. To see a World Series game between the Cardinals and the Yankees. On the field before the game Bob Mc Millan, Cardinal manager and John Madera, Yankee Manager, both predicted victory. D In the third inning Yankee second baseman Jerry Rover singled and two outs later slugger Ricky Wares belted a homer into the upper deck. Bomber pitcher Billy Buckmiller crippled Mc Millan’s Cardinals except for a ninth inning solo homer by Charles L’Homedieu. Thus the victorious Yankees carried home the World Series pennant for the 38th time in their history. From the St. Louis ballpark the Venusians were guided on to Los Angeles. In Hollywood the aliens heard the golden voice of Marilyn Glaess and intently watched the serious acting of Lynn Adler and Wayne Martin as the music of the flute played by Lyn Engelberg added a mysterious effect to the darkened stage. Leaving the United States the Venusians landed in Moscow to view the 1982 Worlds Fair. In the fair were exhibited the latest social and scientific advancements. For instance, a machine which washed, dried, ironed and folded clothes which was developed by Paul Stein. Also a complex mechanism which cared for all the steps of taking orders, cooking, serving and washing in one tenth of the normal time by manual means was exhibited by Evalyn Horowitz. The ultra-modern U. S. exhibit was housed in a building designed by the famous architect, Tom Beck. A few hours ago, however, the true intentions of the Venusians were revealed! Ray Glover, customs inspector at the far, was going through the luggage of the Venusians when he detected an infernal ticking device! Removing it and confronting the aliens with it, the men from Venus informed the earthlings that the object was a tremendously powerful bomb which would explode in a few minutes. Its design was unknown to us and we could not prevent it from destroying the human race, they said triumphantly. Every scientist in the vicinity was rushed to the scene but they failed to analyze the systems of the bomb. It looked black for the world! Suddenly, miraculously, the assistant custodian of the American Exhibition swept past the astonished scientists. With a brief glance at the mechanism he turned a switch and fiddled with a wire. The ticking stopped and Eric Tullberg calmly accepted the humble gratitude of the entire world. Yearbook complements of Mitchell
