Looking in on CARL TUDOR ' S Toast of the Universe on the 21st day of May, in the year 1965, we find that the guests of honor are the 1955 graduates of the former DeLand -Weldon Senior High School at DeLand, Illinois. Carl starts by introducing the Flower of the Musical World, JACK KNISLEY. In his band we find DONNIE FUGATE playing the drums and LEOTA KNISLEY, the former LEOTA JILES, assisting Donnie on the cymbals. We wonder how Leota got her job ! ! ! KAY FLOYD, Mrs. Liberace, who plays Rocket Lane Blues is happily married to guess who and is first on the program. She gives recognition to her and her husband’s hairdresser, DALLAS SHAW. In the audience we find JACK BEHRENS, coach for the Harlem Globetrotters, and his two famous cheerleaders- -HELEN CARR and MARY WEAVER. They have just returned from Europe. Seated directly behind them is JACK GOODMON, bat boy for the Moon Destroyers. Present on the stage are: TOM REYNOLDS, a Captain Video Ranger, PHILIP FLASH LIS- ENBY, now Flash Gordan ' s assistant, and last the famous planeteer, MAX SWARTZ, who has just discovered the new planet Hophebiamnorlene while cruising through the universe in his atomic -powered rocket ship. BOB JONES, a guest singer from Hit Parade, sings the top song of the decade, Falling Through Space which he made famous. Tonight MARY ELLEN REMMERS is unveiling the Lincoln -Mercury new atomic -powered Model T. Seated in it we find GEORGE MASSEY, the famous chauffeur of LOIS ROBERTS, Universe ' s Lonely Hearts Advisor. As the Model T is unveiled the cameraman, STEVE SWANSTROM, switches his camera to the audience to catch the expression of DEAN SMITH, Chief Engineer for General Motors, who is, of course, spying! We see the latest fashions from the Moon with EDNA SVESTKA modeling them. By the way, they are tall girl fashions. A preview is given of the World’s renowned stock car driver, JIM JORDAN ' S new movie, Jimmy Bright, an atomic-powered reproduction of Johnny Dark. CARL TUDOR announces that next week ' s program will feature KATHRYN KING, demon- strating her universal judo holds. At the close of the program we hear a word from the alternate sponsor, Cimota, reducing tablets; spelled backwards it means Atomic. Advertising these is the interplanetary dietitian, NORMA FOLLOWELL. Upon our leaving the theater we see EUGENE SPELLBRING, the New York TV Studio ' s Custodian. He tells us that he still has his motorcycle. Walking down to the rocket ship port we meet ETHEL LOIS REYNOLDS, who operates the space gates there. She informs us that JIM SCHUTTE is a librarian at the Library of Congress and is trying to sell FRANCES TAYLOR ' S devastating new book, Jupitor ' s Lowest Peak. Returning home we are happy to relate that the class of 1955 has been a rocketing success!
