IIQI -'CILAX3'lf'DNIAXN ' 418 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY '33 Good evening ladies and gentlemen and ah-kid-ah might we say children. We now bring you The Senior Class of 1948 on Parade. This program is brought to you over station CCCHS through the compliments of Nash's Little Labor Pills. Our first personality tonight is Carman Leroy Harrison. Leroy always was the official woman chaser of C. C. C. H. S. and certainly lived up to the name of Wolf Pup, being a member of the Wolves. But since then 8 great Change has come over Leroy, Still a woman chaser? Nope, not Leroy, they chase him now, but with a spiked club in one hand and a rolling pin in the other and muttering The Werewolf. Then comes Patty Miller. Everyone expected her and Don Wattles to be married soon after graduation, but you know how love is. Pat had a bit of Heart Trouble and picked another farmer boy, namely, Dolan Bayler, and so far it sounds as though they're in the orchard business, for already they have three peaches and a pair. As for Don he just pined around until Marjorie Benskin got hold of him and once she got her claws on him there was no getting out of it. You'll find them happily married and in the sheep raising business north of Ingraham. Now ladies and gentlemen we introduce to you a couple of the wor1d's most famous scientists, Professor James Wesley Bokenkamp and Professor Don Wesley Taylor. Prof. Bokenkamp is well noted for his hybrid cross of a mosquito with a lightning bug, so he'd be able to see the mosquitoes in the dark, But Prof. Taylor probably did the world the most good when he crossed a bull and a dog and created the well known bulldog. Doris Age has become one of Broadway's big hits. Just the other night she drove her limousine into the side of the Empire State Building. Quite a hit, no? Bob Bissey is now in Shanghai, China, trying to prove to the world that he can ride a three wheeled bicycle from here to some unforsaken Holy Land. Everyone expected Wanda Fehrenbacher to get married to a certain boy but she decided to become an old maid and the family's flower---The Everblooming Idiot. Arthur Tolbert married his high school sweetheart, Mildred Osborne, and lived quite happily until his mother woke him the next morning. Weldon McVay became a second Ernest Tubb or at least we think so. You see, he sings very earnestly while in the tub. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we-will join station N. O. S, E. Y. to hear another old friend. Hello everybody. Our program tonight is five lies, four fibs, and three untruths. And that folks was none other than Mac Lindsey, announcer for'the Liars Hour program. Clarabelle Gray is the private secretary for Hoofum-Skoofum-Goofum-and- Boofum. Inc. . Norma Moore finally mastered the art of giggling and won the National Gigglers Contest by giggling 7 hours and 59 minutes without stopping to laugh.
