THE CLASS PROPHECY ood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience. This is sta- tion WBOW broadcasting the dedication ceremonies of the new Garfield.Sta- dium, a dream in the mind of former coach, Donas Dischinger, which today becomes a reality. Our thanks to Ioy Abbott, maker of Abbott's King-size cigarettes for donating the money which makes this program possible. This afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you are going to listen to one of the most un- usual broadcasts of a football game ever heard on the air. Instead of telling you about the game, we're going to tell you about the spectators. Aside from being the fiftieth annual battle between the Garfield Purple Eagles and the Wiley Red Streaks for the bronze turkey, today is homecoming for the class of '45. lt has been seventeen years since the class of '45 received the title of Garfield Alumni and we are glad to welcome them back. You might be interested to know that Coach Pete Varda informed me just before we came on the air that the Garfield fellows are in top condition and that victory for the Eagles is certain. Since there are still a few minutes before the kick-off, let's listen to Frances Thomas. Drink Coca-Cola, the only drink that makes every pause the pause that refreshes. Remember, Alyce Adams, the dietitian at the Union Hospital says Coca-Cola is good for you. It's time for the kick-off, ladies and gentlemen, and here come Bettie Io Smith and Ioy Wright in their helicopter with the ball. They're flying low over the field - they're dropping the ball - and there's the kick-off. Now Matt Burns, who was recently voted the most popular radio star, will take you down into the grandstands to talk to some of the class of '45. First of all let's get the officials lined up. Rudolph Cseszko is the referee: Wilbur Adams, the field judge: Donald McKee, head linesman: and the umpire is none other than Gene Stokes - the shirt is beginning to get a little ragged. Take a look at the covers of the programs. They were designed by Barbara Cronk. There's Norma Haxton, girls' athletic director: and her assistant, Char- lotte Snow: Mary Ann Holmes, dean of girls: Madonna Burns, social studies teacher: Marilyn King, who took Mrs. Richmond's place: Henrietta Sorenson, physics teacher: and Rebecca Shedd, the registrar: sitting down near the fifty yard line. Right behind them are Bill Gregory, the dean of boys, and Charles Nickles, who is back at Garfield since he is the only one who can manage the stage equipment in the new auditorium. There is Dorothy Keelor who designs shades for Revlon, and Mary Scrog- gins, star of a new dancing show on Broadway. Speaking of dancing, I heard that Geneva Killion won the dancing marathon, remarkable at her age. Shirley Hamrick, the new truant officer, is checking up to see if everyone is here. Here comes Ruth Carnes and her husband, Pat Hayward, with their twins. With them is Louise Paitson, who just finished a piano concert tour of South Amer- ica. Look at the beauties coming in. Marilyn Iames, Virginia Thomas and Margaret Kieth are all Powers' Models. And there's Margaret Church, star of M. G. M. and Dorothy Pickett, famous clothes designer, with her seamstress, iContinued on Page 5591 fs Page Twenty
