Bonita Powell from Tiller, Oregon, and Ray Knight from Kuna, came to join us as we graduated from grade school. At long last, Freshmen! ! The highlight of the year for these greenie s was initiation, when they had to dress as Little Abner and Daisy Mae . After Kangaroo Court all was forgiven when the Sophomores gave them a swell party. LeRoy Albasini from Scranton, N. Dakota, Evie Olsen and Peggy Morrison from Central Cove were just in time for the punishment. When the class returned a year later as Sophomores, they found themselves with a new student, Donna Ethington from Chandler, Arizona, and two swell advisors. Mr. Aki Nishimura and Mr. James Bostwick. Sixteen students were chosen by the Junior class for the prom and later M. Watterson and T. Yost were picked bv the Seniors to lead Baccalauriate.

2-:N PRIIPHHIY Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! This is the Homedale radio station TROJAN broadcasting to you from the scene of the 1954 Senior class reunion. We have all waited tlliirty years for this event and l shall try to give a brief sketch of each graduate as ey arrive. The first person I see this evening is Charles Tucker, a prosperous farmer, raising cattle and grain on the edge of Snake River where he used to raise cain. As I gaze on around the room I see Dorothy Uria wrho is now a big wheel with movie goers. She just recently purchased MGM film studio and is producing her own movies. Next to Dorothy we see Thomas Yost who was quite a ladies' man until one broke his heart and now he's a confirmed bachelor. Hurrying tlu'ough the door we see Weneda Rowland, a mother of ten of whom she is fondg but hang it all, Julian, all ten are blond. Some of Weneda's kids are now going to school under the tutoring of Margaret Watterson who teaches Chinese to the second graders at Homedale and says that under no conditions will she be an old maid school teacher. Ah! We see that Le Roy Alhasini has just arrived. He seems to be quite happy with his job as gatekeeper at Alcatraz Island. Look gang! Here comes Ray Knigiht and his trainer and gym teacher Clyde I-Iill. With that Charles Atlas physique and all those muscles he's Mr. America of 1984. I just no- ticed Bonita Powell bursting in the back door like always. She's still a bashful chemist trying to invent longer nights. The fellow you hear on the other side of the room is Wayne McDannald, an auctioneer who has finally convinced Queen Elizabeth that she should change from Raleighs to galoshes. The ever graceful and delicate Miss Peggy Morrison just stumbled into the ballroom. A wrestler of national and world wide fameg her muscles are bulging and man what a frame! Another old grad just arrived attired in mink and diamonds. It's Donna Ething- ton who married a millionaire right after graduation and seems to be doing quite well. Donna seems to be very interested in all the bottles and formulas which Bonnie Parker brought along. She's busy trying to perfect a new formula for the atomic bomb. As I move around the room with the mike I can see the ex-Mrs. Barbara Miller Bogart with her newest husband. Babs has been married so many times that she has ten private eyes just following her ex-husbands. The most famous of these detectives is Fred Mack ey, alias Fred Shovel who works as Sam Spade's partner While shuffling through the newspaper the other day I noticed that Evie Olsen had made a success as a Broadway playwright. She's written -her ovsm version of the play Gentlemen Prefer Blonds ' it's called Love That Peroxide Bottle . I understand that she is considering the possibility of using Eleanor Lemrick in the stage production of her play. As a burlesque queen on the Broadway stageg this curvacious blond is really the rage. The refreshment counter seems to be quite popular. Maybe it's the drinks mixed by Ruth Burton, the gal who always wanted to be a member of the bar. She almost made it she works behind one If I can get the mike over to Gay Babbitt maybe she will say a few words. She's quite a celebrity now since all her red hair and freckles got her the job as summer replace ment for Godfrey. Engaged in conversation, we see Henry Leavitt whose lifelong ambi tion has been realized. He is professor at Vassar University for girls. Talking with him are David Sharratt and Julian Landa. David's a space man and Julian is an ambitious mortician who says that he is looking forward to seeing some of his old classmates soon Frances Kushlan is doing well as the head nurse in Homedale's new hospital, donated by playboy, Frank Starman, who has a monopoly on publishing comic books. The opera star providing the evenings entertainment is Nancy Weaver who gives concerts as she tours the country with Bob. Her accompanist is Shirley Tibbett. Jean Porter has an orange grove in California and has already retired at the age of 28. As a hobby, Jean has a mice dairy. You see with the price of mouse milk at 510,000 per pint she's really making money. Shirley Rowen is here with her twelve kids. The six little boys look like Max and the little girls all resemble Shirley Last, but not least, we would like to talk with our old class advisors Mr. Tucker and Mr. Zollinger. They both seem to be in good condition . . . Considering! Last week Mr Tucker fell out of his wheel chair and broke his arm. It's time for him to take his pur ple, pink, and green pills now so we'll move on to Mr. Zollinger. Perhaps we should move to a darker corner because the light reflecting off of that bald head is blinding me. He is still the Superintendent at Homedaleg he likes it there. We hope you'll excuse us for talking a bit loud but it seems that neither of the gentlemen have turned their hearing aids up It's been fun being with you tonight and we would like to remind you that this special program was brought to you by the Sylvia Herman and Florence Johnston Dance Studio which specializes in Latin American numbers ' i 1-1- : 'QQL A-3' ' i lg, Q sg i uf ' Jn., -1. ge
