qty-am On the morning of January the 20th of the year 1976, a wealthy cattle man, Richard Painter, and his wife, Joan Weikal, who is a cattle judge in her own right, sit in their living room by the 48 inch T. V. to watch the inauguration of a fellow classmate. The lucky Mouse Party nominee is Dave Booth, who won the presidency by a land slide. His wife is the former Heavy Weight Wrestling Champion of the World, Reita Johnson. The driver of the new president's 16 cylinder Cattle-Hack is Si Burgher. Si is married to Connie Kinzer, and the two have been blessed with twenty-two offspring. By a strange happening the outgoing President is none other than Jerry Duncan. His wife is Marilyn Windell, the Rose la Rose of 1960. The incomin veepis the one, and only one, Gene Barmore, the All American Olympic Runnin Champion, who runs backwargs to give his opponents a chance. Gene is still a bachelor as he always was, but Ee has some cute ones on the string. The outgoing Secretary of State is none other than Dale Harvey. His wife is Barbara Evans. They are now going into the chicken business breeding their own strain of chickens, the Hard Rock Harvs. Alf Eddleman is the new Secretary of State. He is lauded for his acting ability. As a playwright he is known for BEAUTY AND THE BEEF , in which he starred. The former Secretary of the Treasury is Anne Wells. Her husband is Bill Stumm, who is famous for crossing cows with eagles so they can fly in at milking time thus sav- ing the farmer much time. The new Secretary of t e Treasury is Rosalyn Shoemaker and her husband, Phil Dicka- son. They are well known misers. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is Robert Brown, who studied law at the Metropolitan Law School of Clay Center. During the parade, Ronald Beard, the mustachioed animal trainer and the bring 'em back alive expert, is fiercely eading the Mouse Party emblem in the parade. He pauses now and then to use his whip freely over a herd of wild mice. Following Ronnie is Don Reed lassoing everyone from his three -wheeled tricycle. Eileen Ken- dall, the famous model for size 44 dresses and size 2 shoes, is waddling along in seven foot strides. Her ardent support of the Mouse Party may win her an ambassadorship to Paris, it 's said. Dick and Joan are further entertained as more Mousecrat celebrities pass before their screen. Soon the parade ends, and they look forward eagerly to the Inaugural Ball, which has been scheduled for the evening. The entertainment at the ball includes the 3 C's and a D, that infamous quartet from Carmel. They're taking the same parts now as they did at Carmel---Deloris Wilson, bass, Carol Renick, baritoneg Carolyn White, first tenor: and Carol Horton, second tenor. Veryl unpleasant music was played by the orchestra, led by Carolyn Zerbe. Emily Brown played a solo on the tuba. S e is the only person who can play Hot Canary on the tuba, if you want to call it that. Benny Wilson, the famous singer from the Metropolitan Opera Company, gave his version of THREE BLIND MICE to welcome the new party, the Mouse Party. At this point, somewhat overcome by the spirit fsj of the affair, Senator Bob Deering, the typhoon senator from Florida, struggled to his feet for a speech in honor of the occasion. Senator Deering is known for the filibuster record he once set on the floor by expounding for seven days, twelve hours, nine minutes and thirteen seconds. He succeeded in stopping a vote on a bill that would have raised Senators' salaries. After the vote was stopped, it was found that he had thought the bill was to lower senatorial pay. All he could say, after losing 87 pounds for nothing, was No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Among the celebrities we see Judie Stamper, the next ambassador to Timbucktoo and her lazy husband,I. T. Eskew. Also among the milling crowds is the famous Cinda Ellis, designer of the gownless evening strap, and her fa- mous husband, Jim Pad ett, who played leftout on the 1957 Purdue Big Ten hamps. Also on the floor are the three new Military Chleqs of Staff. Bob Dra a, of the Air Force, rocketed to fame for flying a model plane across the Atlantic. Jerry Demaree, famous CON'FINTENTAL lover and war coward, won his position with the army on an election bet with the new President. Bob Dozier, the new Chief of the Navy, learned to navigate in the bath tub by floatinga bar of soap. He has never been on a ship, but he knows the President's weak points. Other people from Carmel, not so lucky as to be a crooked friend of the President, are Pat Meyer, Shirley Grimes, and Ann Randall, the Cigarette Girls??? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Boy! ll Also the crowd is entertained by a chorus line of eye -appealing' dancers. Smiling from the T. V. screen are Nancy Marple, Esther Pollard. Mlllha Lockhart, Jean Miller, and S irley Miller with Melvin Basey as director and supervisor of all dance numbers. 28

Three famous Olympic Champions also put in appearances. They are Bill Roeder, shop put champion, who has a phenomenal record distance of 127 feet: Paul Clark, the world famous pole vaulter, who soared 27 feet, 9 l!2 inches: and Don Pursel, the runner, who ran 87 miles for a new distance record. Next on the program are two of the most daring Bubble Dancers in the world, Lyn Illingworth and Dora Owen, who use 12 inch ubbles.' A very eye relaxing specialty! Last, and most certainly least, was some of the faculty of old C.H.S, First appears our beloved old Principal, J. B. Johnson, who is now making quite a wad of dough each year modeling toupees, and has he got the talent for it. Next is Miss Swartz, who is now a dwarf in the famous Broadway Show Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Dale Graham appears and says he is now coachin the State Champion Tiddlee Winks Team. Last comes Mr. Lamb and Miss Schipper to present the Keys to Carmeg to the New President, Dave Booth. Mr. Lamb, you remember, invented the square basketball and lost every cent he had on itg because he forgot a very important detail. Bas- ketballs have to bounce. AH, cruel, cruel fatel Oh well, on to Miss Schipper. She became the world 's fastest typist by typing 517 words per minute, but she melted her typewriter in doing so. Miss Schipper, a Mousecrat from gvay back, has often expressed the desire to better her own record, but she dislocated her arms while making the irst record. As the Mousecrats and their guests leave the gay inaugural ball, who should the T. V. cameras pick up but Steve and Dave Mitchel selling peanuts on a street corner. They said that they had sunk all their money in try- ing to revive the Model A For , but that it hadn't caught on because they had to chargle 86,595.99 because of high overhead. People just weren't interested. So they have to sell peanuts to keep t eir wives and thirteen ch ldren going. The revealing camera switched to the White House where the chief custodian, Fritz Young, is barking orders to his help whi e swinging a mean broom himself. The chief maid, Suzie Bower, is sliding down the banister to dust lt. She used to test slides for a toy manufacturer and just can't resist sliding whenever she gets a chance. As Dick flicked off the T. V., he reflected on the distinct advantage it is to go to good old C.H.S. Other classes might be great but not so great as the class of 54. After all, look at all of the talent, good looks and person- ality of this unusual class. 29
