has ,Qlailecy As we turn the dial on our T. V. set we see a great comedian directing his show, none other than Uncle Hokey, alias Bill Hockinson. He has replaced the Uncle Milty Show. Boy can he make the audience roll in the aisles. As we settle our brains down to watch the show, Uncle Hokey introduces the great soprano of this time, Jean Sowers. She really is a scream. Following the opera singing by Miss Sowers came the commer- cial with Kenny Lardi advertising mattresses. Doesn't he look realistic when he tries them out. As we switch the dial of our T. V. set to channel 8. we see Norman Sauerwein, the great television tycoon. Besides owning a large number of television stations, he also owns a new camera which he invented. It is called Oscar's Special. We then switch the dial back to 4 to see Thomas Perkins walk on stage. This show is 'sponsored by Perkins's Lumber Company. lt introduces talent from all over the world. The first act that will be presented will be three beautiful housewives from South Wilmington, Illinoisg Bette Lou Gaddo, Noreen Ferrari and Delores Residori. They will sing When You and I were Young Maggie. As the program ends we can see three well known names which everyone knows: Broducer, Phyllis Johnson, Music by, Mary Lou Bally and Clothes by Betty Wren. As we turn the dial to channel 5 we see a show that will interest every farmer. The Agriellltllral Review. directed by MI- Kell Luiz- president of the Illinois College Agri- cultural Center. Today he is talking on how to keep your hogss healthy. Richard Holms, who is Mr. Lutz's chief assistant is one of the world wide known biologists. Janet Brown is the first speaker. She is the 13b0l'3t0l'Y teacher which is experimenting with many diseases. We now change the station to channel 7. We come across a quiz show with Rita Krull, M. C. and her partner, who sponsors the show, Miss Lorraine Jewett. Miss Jewett owns several modeling agencies around the country. Miss Marilyn Ulbrich, who has studied in Paris, designs all of the creations you see on television. She sponsored many of the well-known shows. I

She will sing l'm In the Money. We now change the channel to 9 and as we are waiting for the next feature, a com- mercial is being done by none other than our old senior sponsors, Mr. Black, who is advertising for Nashes and Mr. Wilhelm, who seems to be advertising for Buicks. Now there seems to be a squabble as to the better car. E-gads, it is getting to be a free for 311, Quickly we change to another channel and find the roller derby in progress with Richard Wilson and Bill l-lowland, Joint owner. Mr. Howland is also the chief instructor gf astronomy at Illinois University. As we swing the camera around in the audience we see seated in the front row a well known doctor, Miss Nadine Burklow and her able nurse, Wanda Reader. It is getting very late so we must turn off the set and hope the future of the gradu- ating class of 1952 becomes as successful as here aforesaid, but before we retire let us turn back to channel 9 and see how the fight is going. Well it must not have been much of a contest for they are carrying Mr. Wilhelm out on a stretcher. With the ex- ception of Mr. Black's puffed eye, he seems to be in good condition.
