Place: Phoenix, Arizona Time: 2005, 7:15 P.M. After a hard days work at the local paper-doll factory, Eddie Garcia, and David Russell, the only two bachelors remaining of the W.H.S. class of '57, wearily climbed the last flight of stairs to their apartment in the basement of Pepsi's Massage Parlor owned by Eddie Sandoval. The two bachelors settled to their easy chairs for a nice enjoyable evening of TV. One of the bachelors was trying to tune in channel 653, while the other mixed a couple of zombies, which they had every night to make them feel better after such a long, hard days work. On this channel, the regular Friday night fights were just going on the air. This was surprising because it was only Tuesday. Anyway, tonight's fight pitted James Killer Hausmann, against Bruce Spider Thompson. They were fighting for the pro-weight championship of the world. This was surprising to the viewers, because both of these two fighters also graduated from W.H.S. in '57. The Pro-weight title had been left vacant, by Henry Tiny Miller, who could no longer make the weight. They noticed, sitting at ring side, the wives of the fighters, Betty Jo Chapman who had finally consented to marry Bruce, after four years of trying to avoid him in W.H.S. Seated with Betty Jo were Gloria Cox, Hausmann's wife and their 16 children. The fight could have been judged fairly if the referee, Delfin Sanchez had remembered to bring his glasses, but he didn't, and he thought he was judging a rock-and-roll contest, instead of a fight. The final verdict was a tie. Little did David and Eddie know that a majority of their graduating class had set their career in the entertainment field, for they changed the channel to 1012 where they were surprised to see that Glenda Gum had taken over the part of Eve Arden in Our Miss Brooks. Glenda is now a perfect resemblance of Eve Arden, since she has gained 60 pounds, and is now sporting a butch haircut. Parker Sutton had taken the part of Walter Denton, ever since he had been fired from the Arthur Godfrey show for bribing children to throw peanuts at Frank Frederickson who had taken over the part of Corny Godfrey. The Frank Frederickson (Godfrey) show was now ended and next was the $64,000 question show with Dennis Donovan as master of ceremony. The first contestant was Nancy Peckumn an old school flame of Dennis'. Nancy's category was on how to catch a horse,- in an armored car. She missed her question and was seated. Next up to try was Bonnie Willsey, testing her wits on the category, how to install a set of twin pipes on a John Deere Tractor without removing the windshield. Her knowledge of the subject permitted her to last until the second question. Carol Sutton the brain student from matrimonial college was next. Her category was on banana harvest in Alaska. But at the last minute she changed her category to habits of hyena bugs. Bonnie and Carol are next door neighbors in Phoenix. Their husbands work conveniently at home in their back yards picking oranges for the other patients at their estate on 24th and Van Buren. Their lawful wedded husbands are Dale Payne, and Darrel Miller. After the $64,000 Question program was over, Henry (Liberace) Alexander came on. He opened his program by singing You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog. One of the guests he had was Irene Juarez. She worked out a stunt with Ann Dickie. They were doing the Mambo, and a cheer for old Williams High. Another guest was Peggy Van Brunt. She was displaying her collection of class rings, which she had collected over the years at W.H.S. The next program was Superman, which starred Lee Strange as Superman. The plot of the story showed Superman rescuing Betty Walker, a prominent lady reporter, who was trying to snap a picture of Richard Olguin an amateur artist, standing on his head on a flag pole, trying to paint a picture of the sky. Peter E. Gardner and Peter W. Gardner who were leaders of The Hoods were trying to swipe Betty's camera for the Hoods to use in their next operation. The next program was Robin Hood, starring Robert Jackson as Robin Hood. Robin Hood was trying to show his skill with a pea shooter by trying to shoot the peas through (Little) Jon Smith's head. Marion, Robin Hoods girl friend, was played by Margaret Lee. She was busy keeping score for Robin Hood Jackson.
