THE CLAY TOWNSHIP BROADCASTING This is Clay Township Broadcasting System CCTBSI bringing you today, May I5, I959, Ralph Ramsey Brinkley and Melvin Wingard Huntley with local and world-wide news flashes. This special news program is broadcast annually to bring you news of graduates of 20 years ago of a small, but world-famous, high school located in Central Indiana. And now we take you to Waupecong for the local news given by Ralph Ramsey Brinkley. Mr. Brinkley: A local housewife, the former Sharon Newman, has recently developed and put on the market a new line of hoola hoopsflop sided ones for odd balls and square ones for block heads. Business for these hoops is really rolling! For meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty, Bill Myers has recently received national recognition in the W.O.L.F. Association, better known as the Worshipers of Lovely Females, but true to form, he was late for his own recognition dinner. Norma Powell, through research of her family tree has iust discovered that she is a direct decendent of the famous Dick Powell family of Hollywood. She plans a trip to Hollywood in hopes of using his prestige to become a private secretary at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie productions studio. A prominent local accountant of our community, John Whitley, who recently invented a new style lawn mower, is now vacationing in sunny Hawaii. While there, he will test his new mower on the native grass. A flash from the West Coast: Beverly Stodgell, a well-known Hollywood dress designer, has iust been awarded an Oscar for the costume designing in the movie of the year, Business Prefers Women. Rhea Hoskins was voted best-supporting actress for her performance as, an efficient, female executive in the same movie. Miss Hoskins rose rapidly from the ranks of the amateur to stardom after her magnificent performances in The All-American Family and Father Was a House- wife. Dr. James Paschal and his nurse assistant, Miss Sondra Rickard, have recently discovered a sure cure for the common cod. Although the after-effect of the cure is an advanced case of pneumonia, the cold is completely gone. Janice Glassburn, well-known Indiana home econcmist, has iust established the National Associa- tion for Batchelor Girls of America. This association is dedicated to streamlining the household chores of one-room efficiency apartments in order that the occupant may do all housework in one- half hour daily while reading in bed. Secretary of the Gormet Division is none other than Janet Dear- dorff. Miss Deardorff's most famous culinary achievements are in the field of foreign cookery, including such delicacies as chocolate covered ants, french fried bumblebees, and rattlesnake steak. She claims the serving of these delicacies reduces the cost of party-giving for no one eats too heartily! Jay Agness, renowned scientist, has astounded the world by recently proving the Einstein The- ory to be false. Next week, Jay will pilot his own rocket to Mars. He claims and is attempting to prcve that the only men living on other planets are decendents of earth men who traveled there manylcenturies B.C. If Mr. Agness returns to earth with proof of this theory, he will surely be nominated for the new Nobel Pride for astronautical physics at the spring meeting of the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. Lois Myers, named Miss Rocket of I975, in recognition of her exploration of the moon, has volunteered and been accepted to accompany Mr. Agness to Mars. Upon her return, she has con- sented to write a book about her experiences entitled Was This Trip Really Necessary? The world-famous chemist, Kenneth Myers, is on the verge of making a magnificent discovery of an acid that will eat through anything and everything. His most important problem now is: What will he keep it in? F 4 ll 'Q B 3-V, i Q I B T J t v luw1'wr- N R A 5
