Byron, Illinois June 1, 1974 Miss Gertrude Finklebreezer Rest Easy Sanitarium Sleep Eye, Arizona Dear Gertie, Twenty years have passed since the Class of '54 graduated from Byron High-----twenty years since we taught there together and left together----you to a sanitarium and me to a hermit's cave. Well, Gertie, my frayed nerves are finally mended, and I have left my seclusion to mingle once more with the outside world. In the past year I have collected data as regards that graduating class and will pass it on to you. Alvin Oltmanns, now a famous scientist, announced at a public lecture today that he discovered a way to turn water into gasoline. Professor Olt- manns was late for his lecture; he ran out of gas. Jerry Frye, private eye, just saved another case. Said Jerry, I just played a hunch. This makes the twelfth straight hunch that has paid off. Jerry Newhausen has just released a new recipe for making Gory Gum- mies. Everyone reads her column, Aunt Doreen, in the Byron Distress. Audrey Colwell, now well known golf star, won the Women's National Open with a fifteen under par. What a swing! Wayne King was picked today as Judge of the Year for his work on the Hiccup and Belch Murder Case. Harlan Sugar Throat Shank sang so well today that eighteen fans fainted. One girl said, You send me. She was standing on a moving platform at the time. Joan Furman has gone into work as a waitress in the Hashhouse and has gained a position of head aspirin dispenser. She claims that it isn't quality but quantity that make's the people sick. Kay Campbell was given an award for telling the best jokes on radio and television. Kay said, Golly, I didn't think I'd get it yet already! Jenifer Nelson, owner and operator of the Second Look Beauty Shop, has designed a new hair style called the Pet Shop Special. It is a combination of the Poodle and Pony Tail. Doctor Bellyachin Bain has just informed the public of his new miracle drug discovery. Dr. Bain said it would cure abdominal discomfort originat- ing from nutritional over indulgence. The name is O U 8 2 much. Nancy Auker, much distressed about radio and television's trend toward science fiction is demanding a return to western programs. More and more we hear the thundering hoof beats of the great horse, Silver, and the accom- panying cry of the Long Ranger, Don't turn off that radio. 14
