(Ee roph aa This is WBHS on your television screen telecasting from the 50-yard line at the 1970 annual Luti Charity Game. The players are just emerging onto the field led by Bruiser Finn. Not far behind is Muscles MacDonald followed by Crazy Legs Puleo, the crusher duo, Mel and Billy Smith, Bowl-em-over Strout, Chubby Stott, Bull-dozer Doyle, Bill (The Tank) Bushee, Killer Sanchez, Hurling Hurley, Grease Pit Peterson, and finally rolling out onto the field with his usual graceful jaunt comes the captain, Twinkle-Toes Howell. Down along the sidelines we see the field manager, Don Peterson trying to straighten the chalk lines he drew last night. To his left we find the head official Honest Steve Springer and his assistants, Call-em Right Roebuck (who’s still working his way through high school), and also Pat Hyde (the girl with the built-in whistle) and Rough-House Hinckley to provide the women’s viewpoint. And to their left trying to untangle themselves from the water buckets they dropped we find the tape and gauze boys, Narramore and Harvey. The band members are taking their places across from us. They are led by a truly superb musician, Swinging Bart, alias Vincent Bartolucci, accompanied by Cool Connors, Trombone Chambers, and that jazzy drum beater, Fontaine DeLuca. We have quite a program set up for you today, Ladies and Gentlemen. Between the halves we'll have Twirler Guertin, Legs Lundgren, Torrid Torres, and More More Mortimer leading the world famous Devilittes. Our star reporter Shutterbug Shea has scheduled an interview with the opposing coaches Give-up Given and George (Fumbilitis) Mosnicka and in order to give you those thrilling aerial shots we have planted Chancy Nancy Pratt atop the flagpole. We've really gon2 over-board to supply the viewers with close-up views of the players in action as you can see by our two reporters swinging from the goal posts, Faker Fay and Rubber Goodrich. The concessions will be sold by O’Leary, O'Leary, Russo, Russo Company, those famous connoisseurs of bad food who have employed a veritable army of hot dog throwing, mustard slapping venders such as Half-a-dollar Harff, the hot dog boys Herby and Ronny Johnson, Dick Russell and those queens of the popcorn stands Ellis, Jackson, Anderson, Ramsdell, McKinnon, and Skelton. Some of the top officials of the state as well as many of the most important per- sonnages in the country are at this game today. Up in the box seats you see the Governor, Lucky Lacey, the Attorney General, Bull-dog Keene, and the Treasurer, Lily Liljegren. Right next to them incidentally is Machine-gun Masciocchi and his gang, Blue Beard, Gentle Gentile, Clutcher Hutch, Mugger Matthews, Trucker Jones, Prindiville, (the Mata-Hari of the under-world), Lombardo, (the Mad Bomber), and Manninen, the purse snatcher.

However, our most frequent patrons, the bookie firm of Guido, Penny, Caterino Hogan are missing today du e to the diligence of our local constable Chuck Newton and his deputy “Chester” Small. Over in the celebrity section we see glittering with jewels La La Moore and her secretary “Ma” Griffin, who is working in order to support her large family. With her are those belles of Society, Snooty Seminatore, Money-bags Morgan, and under all those furs, Mal Cunningham. Down in the grandstands we find several well-tanned natives, fresh from vacations in Hawaii (John Fortes, Ruth Kindred, Dick Healey and Gayle Swett) as well as Judy Pareseau who has just finished a dancing tour of Paris night clubs. The game is just about ready to begin. Our cheerleaders, Agnes Allen, Judy Chase, Barbara Roberto, Nancy Richardson, Betty Pazeretsky, Jan Goss, Cathy Van Germet and Edna Watters are just leaving the field. Our time keepers, Stop-watch Kimball and Ticker Kelleher are giving the signal, our chain bearers, Jorgenson, Ulson, and Lovejoy are set, and our camera operators Lens Tobin and Spotlight Duncan are focused on the ball. Twinkle-Toes kicks one high into the air. And now a few words, on the fine qualities or our sponsor, Petunia’s Inc., by our flower experts, Winchester and McIntosh. Sorry you missed the game due to our extended commercial, but you wouldn't have liked it anyway. This is your favorite broadcaster and mine, Dick Dyer and my agent Joan Gelinas, who has carefully edited my last year, saying goodbye until we once again bring you the Luti Charity Game.
