Class Prophecy On whom do you suppose Louello Parsons was giving the scoop over the radio last night? None other than the witty class of '54. The first familiar names to catch our attention were those of Raymond Kosmerick, Bill Losinski, Robert Miller, and Fred Schlautmann, who are diving for technicolor jelly fish. Giving them competition is another accomplished field is Bill Wingfield, George Phinney, and Dean Akins christening their discovery of a jet propelled raft. The glaring headlines of the Hodunk Gazette, edited by Richard Killian, blare out the exciting news that vivacious Sally Spade has just replaced Marilyn Monroe and will be starring with Richard Hovda in Lolipops for Two. Another replacement is Westinghouse's Betty Furness by Jean Wohlers. The world's most noted playboy, Ronald Crompton, has just netted over a million with the selling of those much heard about Greasless Pigs. I guess that will make his most recent toy, Norma Metzger, overjoyed. While not surprised over Ronnie’s good fortune, we were astonished to hear of the recent death of ‘Red Hot Mama , Sophie Tucker. However, she is being replaced by Elizabeth Bidwell. Here's the marriage news. Phyllis Hartman and Tom Duke, the spinister and the hermit, are to be united in the not so near future. Phyllis Hathaway, Judy Fifer, Phyllis Walker, and Joanne Hollister are the brides of the week. The ceremonies were performed by the Reverend Charles Collins. As these names were batting on our eardrums, we pulled our chairs closer and closer to the radio. There were many celebraties with whom we are well acquainted. Fran Kruszka is practicing with the Detroit Tigers. He is trying to replace Trucks as pitcher. His ardent fan, Sammy DeVor, is always cheering him on, even at practices. Waterboy for State’s championship football team is Marvin Holt, and helping him carry the buckets is Wanda Greeley. The title will be decided Friday night when Shirley Harrison and Betty Nutt, the light weight wrestlers, meet at Madison Square Garden. Gordon Albright is now teaching a girls' Physical Education class at Yale with Eleanore Bash as his model student. And now for businesses recently started. Franklin Ross, with his shining glory as an example, is now operating a Beauty Shoppe in Paris with Ruth Rierson as a steady and also a special customer. This should interest all you fashion wise women. Curtis Butters' Grand Opening of his lingerie shop, The Lacy Unmentionables, will be Easter, '65. All styles will be shown to their best advantages by Karl Hoffer and Ronald Modert. The Lane Bros, store has recently been changed to Wotta and Smoker Inc. Lois Deal, manager of the unemployment office, says that Nathan Coats is becoming a permanent fixture. Sharon Hoard and Phyllis Himes are the owners of the new Arf-Mew Motel. If any of your pets aren’t sleeping well nights send them to the motel for real comfort. If any of you listeners would care to have your portrait painted, the different and unique style of Sonya Palmatier will satisfy you. With each portrait you receive an autographed picture of Lois McNall. You will be greeted with a friendly smile from Vera Brower, receptionist. Margaret Kalvin's “Buy Wrong store, where you always buy right, is having a special sale on grimy grits and smell-free onions. Patty Andrews is also in business with Margaret. Patty now has on the market, the new giant economy size “Crunchy Hersheys.” Your kids will love the Hersheys. (The candy bars we are referring to.) Gerald Brewer and Norman Dixon will entertain your children while you shop.
