Class Prophecy 1978-ANNOUNCING THE GRAND OPENING OF BELVA'S PLAYHOUSE. It is sure to become one of the mai tractions in the metropolis of Buck Grove. Belva is busily trying to decide what color of hair she wants for the Grand Op ing. The Chief of Police, namely Russell Haan, has arrived to keep the minors away from the opening party. A flashy limousine with chauffeur Dave Wolff has come from the eastern states. In the limousine are Professor Todd ben, who won a mathematics scholarship from Harvard, and Wayne Perry. Perry formed a Van,s Royal Blue Store in Balti more, Maryland? They are greeted at the door by Ron Aalderks, who is employed by Belva as a bouncer. Whoops! Whoj tripped out the door? It's none other than Delores Borneman, the director of the Leonard Bernstein Orchestra. Can't you her tripping over the podium? Next to leave the car are Collin Ocheltree, the noted scientist, and Noel Oldenburger, the g expert on X-rays. They have brought along their latest creation, the X-ray glasses. They are planning to pass them out to audience to liven things up if things get too boring. The last of the Easterners is Linda Behrends, who is now modeling th latest New York Fashions designed by Pam Brouwer. It seems the young look? has gone from one extreme to the other the last ten years. Now our attention is directed to a plane landing in the cornfield. As the door opens we see a familiar looking person w ing down the steps. It's Martha Dreyer with her staff from the home for lost souls in Austria. After Martha is Donna Abb who has taken Dear Abby's place in all the newspapers. 4'Dear Abbas helps her former classmates by referring customers Marthais in Austria. Nancy Jo McClaren, Miss Dreyer's able assistant, and Pauletta Kampman, her secretary, make up the of the staff. The last two passengers on the plane come from the deep jungles of Africa. They are none other than the members oft famous Gary and Alan Ostercamp Gospel Team. All of these foreign visitors are picked up and taken to the Playhouse by Shoemaker, now a captain in the Air Force. He took over his mother's bus route just to help out the transportation probl Seeing the plane land, the citizens of Buck Grove come flocking to greet the visitors. The first to arrive are Randy an ane Lindaman, owners of Rabbitis Rabbit Farm. Other farmers in the area include Beef Stahl, who is the father of ten littl porkers, and Teresa Everts, who owns a coon hound farm. Nancy Druvenga, famous flat-proof unflatable tire saleswom and Mark Miller and Ramona Muller, Buck Grove's distinguished actor and actress, come to complain that Teresa's hound keep them awake all night. Norleen Willis and Marlene Wygle are two of Buck Grove's busy mothers. Marlene finally had to resort to a school hous as a home for all her kids. Norleen is a recreation director on a playground. June Bakker can also be found nearby. She fin ly got settled after being moved by the Air Force for so long. Jeanne Brown's kids are hollering as loud as she did when sh was a former AHS cheerleader. Now she cheers the Buck Grove married couples on! The party is about to begin. Word has just been received from Japan that Kuniko Yoshida can't make it because she is s busy with her sales of American radios. The entertainment has begun, and to start the evening out we have a wrestling mat with Carol Schipper beating the tar out of Joyce Van Dyk. Dave Sy Miller can be seen on the sidelines coaching Carol o a victory while Marcia Kooker, Joyceis coach, is becoming frantic. By the way, Marcia has recently been named captain of world famous All-Amreican Red Head's Basketball team. I wonder why?? In the audience we can hear a discussion going on about hair. Darwin Uhlenhopp is talking about the big business Cur Free' is having. He has found out it really works! Wayne Meyer and Paulette Neymeyer have traded hair styles during the past ten years. Wayne has finally gotten his hair grown long enough by appearing in so many plays. Marvin Boekhoff hasj reached the world's record of one million strokes through his golden hair. His reward is a gold plated comb. Listen carefully and you can hear Bruce Bassler startling everyone with a bass drum solo. All of a sudden he steps up th tempo as Becky Reinicke dances through in her grass skirt. Suddenly she shrieks! Myron Poley is chasing her with a lawn mower. This incident even catches the attention of Steve Brouwer, who is stuck in the Playhouse phone booth thumbing through his little black book. Debbie Schurman is now the center of attention. Zip is in super demand as a dancer. The roar of motorcycles drowns out the sound of the ever beating bass drum. John Smith crashes into the Playhouse, fo lowed by the rest of his gang. Curt Kannegieter heads for the chandelier and starts swinging like Tarzan. Gerald Peters hunt for a cradle to rob, Larry Stubbe's hair got in his eyes, and he stubbed his toe as he entered the Playhouse, and Kenny Cap knew exactly where to find the refreshments. Last of all comes Jim Schipper. Jim picks a fight with Alan Stockdale, but in the meantime knocks over the flea cage. I guess we won't get to see Alan's flea act anymore since everyone leaves the crash party itching like crazy because of Alan's fleas.
