PROPHECY “Ship ahoy! All aboard! All ashore that's going: ashore!” “Yes, sir, the class of 1950 sailed out of pirt exactly ten years ago on June 8th. The year is now 1960 and there’s a big meeting for all the old classmates on the S S. John Greer Steamship.” “I'm the Captain, BILL WILSON. Yes, sir, been sailin’ nigh on for ten years. Voted to be the most successful in the class and now got my own tramp steamer. Over there is my first mate, BILL SAMARAS. He’s gained about two hundred pounds since most of these kids last saw him. You know how he loves those chocolates at the Ritz. Ain’t married yet though.’’ “Well, here come the alumni. Stick around folks, this may prove interesting.” “The orchestra tuning up over there is FREDDIE GREEN and his “Texas Term- ites' featuring ERNIE CLARK, the old womens’ dream-boat, and his wife, DORO- THY CRUMLEY, so slender—so tantalizing. That’s BONNIE BARRICK waiting tables. She’s so shy. Won’t hardly ever say a word. She’s selling a package of “Strike it Lucks’’ to JIM ARMSTRONG, the tobacco king of “Cooler.” Just can’t stand smoking his own Cigarettes. Over at this table is the great marble shooting’ champion, HOWARD NELSON, with his wife. JANET Me MUR RAY, who just won the professional wrestler title. Nice couple huh? Yes sir, PAT MADISON and .ALLEN OLSON finally got married Been sweet- hearts since her childhood. Too bad. that JOHN BROOKS couldn’t be here this year. Just couldn’t get away bein’ so important and all Yes, sir, the town's only street cleaner. More guests are entering now. We have BEVERLY WINTERSTEEN. MIKE SCUL- UN, and BARBARA MURPHY. Big wind would blow them down. I’d say they weigh about ninety pounds apiece. They have made a fortune selling those pills that guarantee to reduce you or kill you! Too bad about that Hollywood actress, IRENE REESE, who took them just before she so suddenly passed away. By glory! There’s “Shiny Top” BETTY COLLINS coming in. She lost her hair in a revolving door while chasing RUSSELL DROLLINGER, who has that certain way with women. Here is BOB PRUITT with his “Suicide Physique.” He has 'caused an alarming number of suicides among love-sick fe- males. Rumor has it that he is planning on marrying his trainer ELSIE POTTS. All eyes turn as ELEANOR COMPTON enters. She is sacrificing her successful legal career to defend her client DICK CORRELL alias “Killer” being charged for the murder of his wife, MARIANNA MOORE. What will be the verdict? EILEEN EVANS has just been crowned the “Hamburger Queen.” W'ith her is RUBY CAWTHON wearing the famous Hope Diamond, “Hope, hope, hope I get married.” LEW VORICK and MARY PATTON make a very romantic couple jitter-bugging. They are hoping to win the Olympic title. “One a Week” EVELYNE SUDDARTH sued for a divorce from her 52nd husband, HOMER KELNHOFER. Homer’s heart is about to break . . . Already people are beginning to guess who her next husband will be. Who will be the next sucker? Could be that she is hoping to capture BILL WAGONER? A good catch for any- one with his cabbage kingdom. “HONEST GLEN DAVIS” is trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to BOB MERRITT again. Although Bob isn’t the greatest yo- yo champion in the world yet, (too young he has bought that same bridge five times. DONNA McVICKER is modeling her new strapless evening gowm which she just de- signed w'hich is “sprayed on to stay on.” She is betting her fortune on which twin has the Toni, LINDA LINN or JOANNE LON G FELLO W An important announcement! The “Slim- mets” former HARRIETT SINCLAIR. NORMA CONNER and PAT HEDGECOCK will be starring at the new “U C PLENTY ROOM” in their home town Hoopeston. Illinois the first of November. The fabulous ly rich RICHARD METZ is the owner. Ah . . . Aren’t they a sweet couple?? Alwrays fighting. PAT BRIDGES and DAVID LAWSON have been married for five years and all ten of their children are named Bob or Roberta. Poor David, and all that he asked was that one girl be called Patty Holt Lawson. BETTY ANN “Ray of the World” IN- GRAM is still trying to reform the bad. She has a great interest in trying to reform VIVIAN TONEY the Dice Queen of the world. Philip Sims, who is never seen with less than two girls at a time is escorting MAR- JORIE GOCKING and GUINIVERE SHIN- NEMAN. Quite handsome too, in his spangled tights and the girls carrying his tight rope. Last but not least, we have FINN CART- WRIGHT, BOB CLEM, and KEN CROUCH, the finders of “CCC- See More Eye Glasses.” DON WHITLOW is suing them because he bought a pair and saw too much. We’re all here now-so wre ll close the doors and begin the evening of fun.
