CLASS PROPHECY The year.1965 Ladies and Gentlemen, here we are at the world-reknown Carnegie Hall in New York City for the opening performance of America ' s two most nationally recognized singers, Misses JULIA VICKERS and CAROLYN SPIVEY. Accompanying them at the piano will be the great concert pianist, Miss ANN WALKER. Many celebrities are present tonight for this great event. Before we retire to the inside of this theatre, I will give you a brief description of each celebrity as he enters: Ah, the first car to drive up is an Eldorado Cadillac with New York license plate No. 1. Stepping out is none other than the Governor of New York, VANCE DAVIS, and his charming wife. Chauffeuring the Governor is ALLEN M ESSER, who is having to work his way up to the top again after going broke trying to sell left-handed toothbrushes. And here comes Judge ALBERT HARPER of Washington who has just beenthrough a very trying experience of sentencing LULA OSTEEN and EARL PRUITTtolife imprisonment at Sing-Sing for attempted murder of Miss Saunders, former teacher at Owen High School. WAYNE MAHAFFEY, candidate for the Senate, has a lovely escort for the event, Miss CAROLYN LUCKADOO, Owner of Matthews Motor Company in Asheville, N. C. Arrayed in gorgeous diamonds, about to enter the theatre, is Mrs. KENNETH MARTIN, former Miss LAURA SMITH. Mr. Martin could not bepresentfor the concert due to the fact that his football team, whichhe purchased last year from Washington, is playing at Detroit. Arriving on my right is the well-known Editor of the New York Times, Miss SARA GOUGE, with her poodle, Fifi -_(Which is cared for by none other than the great veternarian. Dr. JACKIE SARTI.J Another arrival. Miss CHARLOTTE KNOEFEL, who is currently in the Water Follies of 1965 , has just entered the lobby and is chatting with Dixiecrat candidate for President, LARRY RHYMER, and Ein¬ stein ' s successor, SCOTT STEVENS. Many of tonight ' s attendants are arriving en masse. One of the lar¬ gest groups is a delegation of faculty members from Owen High School. These include: Mr. JOHNNY MILLS, Latin Professor; Mr. BILL BEL¬ CHER, Director of Athletics; Mr. ROBERT PRUITT, Professor of Span¬ ish; Mr. DANIEL WILSON, Professor of English; and JO ANN BIDDIX, Professor of Economic-Sociology. AnewFord Continental has just driven up, and STANLE Y GARLAND, President of a ritzy girls ' school is stepping out. Accompanying him is BILL WELLS, Dean of Women at the school. Most of the celebrities are in the lobby now. I ' ll see how many of them I can spot: Coming across the room is Miss SUE ANDERSON, Vice President of Anderson-Brown Patrol. Big Wheels in the world of football, Mr. SCOTT PORCHER, Mr. JIM POWLAS and Mr. CLIFTON KILPATRICK are busy discussing game tac¬ tics. Ah, here comes another fine group of Socialites ....Miss JOANN ALLEN, Publicity Manager of the Blackwood Brothers Quartet; Miss SONDRA BALLARD, who has taken over Louella Parson ' s gossip col¬ umn; Misses HAZEL BRANDON and MARGARET BREEDLOVE, joke writers for the Saturday Evening Post; Miss MYRNA BARTLETT, fam¬ ous basketball player; and Miss DELILAH ANDREWS, World Champion Speed Typist.

Mr. FLAKEY BLANTON, designer of Cat clothes for the G.I. outlet, is involved in a deep conversation with Ted and Fred Bartlett, famous wrestling team who are matched against the great Moto every Wednesday evening. VAN HAROLD CHAPMAN, NBC crooner, has just released a new record with lyrics written by Miss CLARA PICKENS, composer and ar¬ ranger. Right now he is talking to Multi-millionaire GENE BURKE, owner of a classy reducing salon. Mr. Burke has recently hired Miss BILLIE ANN BRIDGES to take care of keeping the machinery in order. Wearing gowns created by Miss GWEN NANNEY of Swannanoa and Paris, France, were Misses MARIE MELTON, WILLIE SLAGLE, IRIS McKINNEY, and BETTY BURNETTE, all connected with Advertisement world, mostly television. Speaking of television, we have a wide variation of T.V. ' s most well known performers present here, ranging from announcers like Mr. DAVID CARSON and Mr. HERBERT CORDELL, to commedians such as Mr. DON LEDBETTER and Miss MARLENE OGLE, who are the successors of Jackie Gleason and Martha Raye. Reserving seats for a special box are Miss MELBA TRANTHAM, Secretary to the President of the United States; Kathryn Wheeler, Sec¬ retary to the Secretary of the President; and ANN MORRIS, Secretary to the Secretary to the Secretary to the President. (?) The crown jewels of India are being shown for the first time tonight. FAYE HOLLIFIELD and INEZ JONES, accompanied by their two body guards, are wearing the $100,000,000,000 gems. It is a rather bright sight. Woman lawyer, HAZEL MORRIS, has informed some listeners that she will not r unfor Congress againbecause competition against SHIRLEY McGUIRE is too steep. A party of viewers have gathered in one corner of the room, looking over tonight ' s program. Theyare: Mis s BETTY BALL, dietician at Owen High School; Mrs. VIVOLYNN C. BLANKENSHIP, great, great grand¬ mother; Miss EDNA PRUETT and Miss FRANCE SILVERS, soup tasters at the Mocombo Club, operated by Miss CAROLYN THOMAS and Miss BETTY WOODY.

Misses SHIRLEY COCHRAN, KATHERINE GARDNER, WANDA GAL- LION, and GEORGIA MELTON are ticket salesgirls for the concert, having been chosen for their honest (?) faces.
