Tjeailfvisfos gg j f c 2 15.15012 inassciloot 31:14 CLASS PROPHECY Ladies and Gentlemen: I am telecasting from the Willaff-Castoria Hotel, Can- ton, Missouri. The occasion of this telecast is the fifteenth anniversary of the gradua- tion of the Canton High School Class of 1939. To begin the evening's program, each of the class will be presented to you, and each will tell you where he or she is now, and what he or she is doing. The first to telecast, naturally, is Mr. Ellis, sponsor of the class. He doesn't look a day older. He has been State Superintendent of Schools in Missouri for two years. Congratulations on your rise in the world, Mr. Ellis. We knew you had it in you! Thank you, Anna. Did anyone lose this handkerchief? . . . Shall we recall a day fifteen years ago? On that day, very few of the people now here had any intention, of being what they now are, or looking as they now do. I see Harry J. Thompson is the next person to be introduced. 'I-Ieh-heh-heh. Here is Harry J., folks, just back from the Congo, where he was fhief ofka Zulu Mission. Several monkeys seem to have adopted him 3 hence Mr. Ellis' itt e jo e. Hello, everyone. I'd like to apologize for my appearance. My monkeys won't leave me. They regard me as a brother, and won't go away, so they go wherever I go. The Class of '39 has risen in the world. Here is Tommy Moore, just down from a wor!d's-record balloon ascension. Hello, folks. This solid earth under my feet feels good. I suppose everyone knows that I am now an aviator with the hobby of ballooning. Here comes Margaret L. Bertram. She has just been elected National President of the 4-H Club. Hello, Margie. How are the 4-Hers? , Just fine. Never better. ' And just behind Margaret L. is Homer T. Kimberley. He has been Vice President of the F. F. A. for sometime. Rumor has it that he audi Margie are seeing a. lot of' each other. How's Washington, D. C., Homer? A little excited over the Second Armistice. But of course that's a little out of my line. But it's right in Senatress Day's line. Hello, Annabel! How's the war situation? I don't know. I've been too busy filibustering on the Twenty-Dollar Bill. Ask John Wills-here he is. ' Hello, John. I've been trying to find out something about the war situation. 'You came to the right person. I'm known as the Brains behind the Lines. You look to me like the Chest Behind the Medals. What's all that tinware about? Oh, they just couldn't find anyone else to hang it on. And your chest was nice and broad and handy? Modest as ever! Here comes: Dorothy Gruber. Maybe we can find out from her. Gruber, why's John so decorated? Personal courage, bravery under fire, heroic deeds, life-saving, and good excuses for A. W. O. L. Sounds like old times. Here comes-catch your breath, folks!-Flossie Bertram, Queen of Movieland. Here she is, smile and all! Speech, Flossie, Speech! I believe I owe much of my success in Hollywood to the nickname settled upon me by my classmates, and I wish to take this opportunity to thank them. Don't faint, Tommy. She has changed, hasn't she? Flossie has brought her King along. Hello, Audra. How does it feel to be a Glamour Boy? I don't like it. I'd much rather dwell in obscurity. Is he the modest King! Y Pm trying to persuade Flossie to retire. I want to raise-er-chickens and pigs. Wait till she's a little olderg then she will want to retire. Good luck. Audra. Here are Frances Riggle and Herr Violin. I hear you're giving us a solo tonight, Frances. Is that right? Eet ees right, but nevair call heem a solo! He ees a duette-my violin and- I shall play togethaire. Get me? Yes. Have you been studying in Paris, Frances? Oni, oui! And muchness have I learned. Obviously. Even the accent. What is that noise, Dallas? That's the Sunset Special. The one that follows the sun? Yes. Wait till you see who is on it. I am President of the Line! Celebrities! travel on our lines.
