From the editorial:
Also from the editorial: 
* the cover was by Scott Sabath: "As you can see the cover of this issue was done by Scott Sabath, one of our very talented members. He's only 12 years old, but he has a bright future laying ahead of him. As you remember from the last issue, he had written the interview which took place between Leonard Nimoy and him. Along with the interview should have been two pictures of Leonard which he had taken, unfortunately we did not have the money to print them up, so I wish to apologize to Scott personally and say that as soon as we can we'll print them."
* a contest deadline (identifying people in a photograph, had only five people guess) had been extended
* story/testimonial called "Aliens Make Great Friends" by Carol Brogan
* the editor says: "Each of the stars personally receives a copy of all the club newsletters so I assure you that your material is seen by the stars themselves."
* poem called "Men of the Future" by Frances M. Pontarelli
* "Transmissions from Star Trek," some Star Trek news by the editor
* a poem/song (?) with a heavy Christian focus called "Lost in the Stars" (Dot Records)
