Finally in the line comes Monsieur Willy Doss, ambassador to France, and his pert secretary, Eadie Locke. But you can't keep house without jade, shrills a voice nearby. In the center of a small crowd we find Barbara Eide still trying to sell her chlorophyll-colored liquid soap. Clustered around her, listening, we find some of President Wright's private football team. Charlie Ginand is telling Adams, Bannon, Mehlhouse, and Zargo that This is just what we need for the scrub team. Henry Youd, the team's coach, agrees that this is a line idea. Moving on a little further, we find three television celebrities, Hatch Holzer, Barbara Nastu, and Judy Randall, with their director, Marcia Owen, discussing their new show to be sponsored by Sproviero's Special Spices. It is at this moment they hear a fanfare, the conversation stops, and all eyes focus on the singing quintet of Sobotka, Fedor, Walker, Fatsy, and Wright. In the middle of the song a bright flash is seen and sure enough, there is Art Shipul, photographer for the Gminskiville Tribune. There seems to be a bit of excitement in the center of the roof. Patrolmen Fitzsimons, Hanley, and Grace are pushing back the crowd. But why? A whirring is heard overhead and before we know it, a Wells Passenger Helicopter, piloted by Robinson and Brake, has landed. Disem- barking from the plane are Drs. Serlin and Leipner and their medical secretary Rita Juliano, who is still trying to figure 'out yesterday's notes. Also, there is Joe Nerkowski, this year's Nobel Prize winner. A close second for this prize was Joe Romano, top jockey on the great horse, Woman of Peace. Hearing a commotion on the other side of the roof, we will now switch you to Carole Foehrenbach. This is Carole Foehrenbach. We have quite a commotion over here. It seems that, excited by a political argument with Reid Carpenter, Newell Bishop landed a right hook to Mr. Carpenter's jaw. joy Weisgerber, official timer in the House of Representatives, is taking the count as a squadron of nurses, Bray, Wilson, DeStasi, Hahn, and Beason, try to administer Middlebrook's Smelling Salts. At the count of nine, the smelling salts take effect and Reid comes to. We now see our Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Sekelsky, walking up to another group of well-known personalities. Eaves-dropping on their conversation, we hear Nancy Buckhout and Phyllis Whitney, Washing- ton's two top hostesses, praising the decorations created biy Carley and Snow. We see Admiral Bruce Henry and one of his Navy Chaplains, Commander Grob, who are engaged in a lively conversation with Judy Crosby and Nancy Marshall, two of the six candidates of the Miss Bud- weiser Contest. They are deeply discussing Fineberg's New Collegiate Dictionary. At this point, the maid and butler, Laura Campbell and Rudy Forcier, come to announce to the Presidential party that the banquet dinner, pre- pared by the well-known caterer, John Swanson, is ready to be served. And now it comes time for us to end our little visit at the Inaugural Ball. What kind of a day was it? A pleasant, ordinary day. The day of President Richard Wright's Inauguration, and YOU WERE THERE. Karen Gminski Newell Bishop Sandra Hartman joy Weisgerber 17

CLASS PROPHECY Collison's Collision Insurance Company takes you ahead to January 20, 1977. The time-11:45 a.m. Today is the day of the inauguration of the 38th President of the United States, Richard Smith Wright. All things are the same except that YOU ARE THERE. This is Gigi Del Cronkite reporting. This year the inauguration is taking place in the little southern town of Gminskiville because the nation's capital has recently been redesigned by the team of Dralus and Norsal and is now being rebuilt by the construction company of Tvardzik, DeManche, and Balstad. The new football field, replacing Ike's driving range, is being landscaped by Tony Lancia. President-elect Dick Wright's official day begins at 11:45 a.m. when his private chauffeur, Harry Foothorap, arrives to pick up the President in his new 1977 Scharfsmobile. Heading for the public park in the center of town, they whisk off in a cloud of dust. We will now switch you to Ted Andre, who awaits the arrival of the presidential party. This is Ted Andre reporting. Thousands of people Cwell, five or ten, anywayj throng in the streets along the President's route. As the Presi- dent's car storms into view, his popular theme song, Howdja do it?, written by Patuzzi and Tancredi, is struck up by the band. The dignitaries take their placesg among them are Senators Flax, Herman, Goula, and DeFrank. As Dick mounts the steps of the platform, he is joined by his running mate, Peggy Freese, who will be the first woman Vice-President of the country. Chief Justice Greenstein of the Supreme Court, flanked by some of his fellow judges, Hartman, Shiff, and Fischer, steps forward to swear in the President. Then Speaker of the House Burke trots up onto the platform to swear in Miss Freese. This part of the ceremony over, Dick starts his inaugural speech with those famous words, Class, Attention! His proud wife Joan beams her ap- proval in her bristling crew cut designed by that famous hair stylist, Loretta Caranica. Mrs. Wright's crew cut has started a national fad among the women of the United States. The speech being concluded, the Presidential party then reviewed the inaugural day parade, which consumed most of the afternoon. It is now evening and time for the inaugural ball, which this year is being held on the roof of Pente's Penthouse. We switch you now to Barbara Cosgrove, who is at the scene of the ball. Come in, Barbara Cos- grove. Good evening, folks. Here we are at the festive inaugural ball. As we enter the door, the first one to greet us is Bob Gleza, still shaking hands. From my station at the door, I hear the weird strains of the nation's top tune, The Green Rose of Bassickf' played by Glockenspiel Davis, Violin Cornell, Accordion Bruno, Sousaphone Aronson, and Drums Eddy. But, wait, here comes the President escorted by his favorite body- guards-Lengel, Kinsella, Fazekas, and Fazekas. With the President is Mrs. Wright, whose inaugural gown was designed by Kohut, Jacobs, and Hickman, Inc. My, it looks like a regular parade following the President. Here's that well-known beauty expert, Charlie Widlitz, newly appointed cabinet member in charge of the Miss America Contest. To be sure, this is every man's dream. Next is the national Girl Scout commissioner, Gladys Shorrock, and her able scouts, Pilotti, Feucht, Klafstad, and Favreau. 'I6
