CLASS PROPHECY We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the latest news from station WACK. Flash! Hot off the wires! Around the world with our snooping reporter, Audrey Barber. To bring you today's commentary, we present the second Louella Parsons, Gloria Hardisty. Bulletin from Rome! Proceeding up the street whom should we meet but Ralph Meyer, standing in his golden chariot arguing with Georgius Pollardius (alias George Pollard) over the contest in the arena between Frankie Hercules Nolan and Douglas Nelson. In the Senate House we see none other than Paul Kornichuk, a startling figure in a white tunic, orating vigorously for the rights of the Roman people. But before Paul can say another word, we feel a rumble under our feet. Run for your lives, an earthquake, is the cry heard by all. And so Rome fell. Why, you ask? Of course, because Anne Patterson hiccoughed. Flash! Flash! Across the wires to Paris. Mary DiCenzo is suing the famous hair connoisseur, Stanley Zipadelli, for damages. While giving Miss DiCenzo a permanent wave. Monsieur Zipadelli accidentally spilled a chemical on her hair, causing it to fall out. Also in Paris we hear that Charles Genovese, the cassonova, is still wowing the girls. On our nightly tour to one of the ritzy Casinos on the Riviera, owned by Richard Luddy, we were entertained by dancer Doris Treece and the lilting crooner Carl Focareto. Cigarette girl Pat Brennan, presented us with a package of Chesterfields; so round, so firm, so fully packed. Since we had been informed by our French teacher. Miss McBrien, never to miss going to a great Parisian opera or symphony, we spent the following afternoon at the Edifice de Musique where we met Thomas Dennis, Linda Wickland, Jane Barber, and Robert Brown, who had just flown over in Connie Vandrilla's newly designed super-sonic transport. You can imagine our surprise when Kenneth Schultz, the long-haired violinist, stepped onto the podium. But that's not all. To accompany him Doris Welz and Faye Gooding, the world-famous metzo soprano, sang his newly composed, Aria to Berlin. We always had been told that Paris was a place for fanatics, but we never quite believed it. However, as we left the theater we bumped into poet Aline Silsby, muttering this to herself: It was a winter day in summer. The snow was raining fast, A bare-foot boy with shoes on. Was skating on the grass. From that time on we knew anything could happen in Paris. London! After practicing as a teacher for a few years, Marty Thomson could not resist the lure of the stage. Marty prefers life behind the headlights. She has starred in the following Shakesperian plays: Hamlet, Egglet, Omelet, and Eyelet—every time Marty played in Hamlet she got Egglet in the Eyelet. Irene Pipkin and Lillian Radion own a large glove store in Lancaster. We were surprised to learn that they dealt with such unsalable articles, for gloves are made to be kept on the hand. Barbara Margnelli is a successful novelist. Her best book, The Romance of a Sour Pickle , has caused mouth watering comments all over England. Russia, next stop. Before we had gone far towards Moscow, we saw a crowd of people gathered about a man standing on a soap box, who was frantically waving his arms in the air. Out of pure curiosity we stopped, and whom should we recognize but 20
