The Kaleidoscope L Aass The big game of the year 1968 is going to start in just a few minutes. The Hopewell Blue Devils (every member of the squad an all-state player) are to play “The Crimson Ripple’’ (the only team in the state with just eleven players, no substitutes!) The game was scheduled especially for the members of the class of 1948, to bring back memories of what used to be. It is almost time for the kick off. A man is selling candy and cigars and I think he looks familiar. Of course! he is “Shug” Shornak and the man buying the cigar is “Pop” Skelton. Elliott has become bald as well as the boys’ adviser and assistant principal of H. H. S. Now the team is thundering out onto the field with Coach “Curly” Powell leading them. The Hopewell lads are in tiptop shape and the star of the season is “Goo-Goo” Nelms, the son of famous “Baby” Nelms. The crowd cheers and stands as the team fights bravely. Who should be a cheerleader out in front but an all-around fellow with a circular-circumference—Little Birdsong, offspring of the widely known Howard. A happy couple is sitting near me. The motherly-looking lady blowing bubble gum reminds me of Elsie Keener—and she is! 1 am suddenly blinded by a colorful figure approaching the broadcasting booth—Jean Roberts, the famed Artist. She is wearing the new color Canvas, 1 believe is the name. I hear mad laughter as one of the officials falls in the mud. No mistaking that laugh, it’s Drummer Daniel, the mayor of the largest and most prosperous city in the world—Hope- well ! ! I am trying to see the game through my field glasses but a movie star keeps borrowing them. Yes, its Pete Wells. He’s wearing sun-glasses so the teen-agers won’t miss the game while getting his autograph. There’s an airplane diving straight at us, and someone is bailing out! It’s Paul LaForce coming from Alaska to see the game. He’s going to drill an oil well on the field later. (Some¬ one told him it was pay dirt.) Here comes a girl with a sign on her back which reads: “If you have a decaying molar, Come and see Joretta Holder. She will pull it very quick The bill will be your only kick.” The aroma of hot-dogs fills the air. The person munching them looks familiar but her hair is covering her face! Pete says she is Judy Rash who has been trying for twenty years to find a becoming hair-do. She decided that this one styled by the famous hair-dresser, Ken Barrus, is the best. Alvin O’Berry, H.H.S. principal, and Pat Hitchcock, girls’ adviser, are carrying on a heated conversation. They’re arguing about who should give the referee the hot-foot! Each says it is his turn. “Goo-Goo” Nelms just ran 90 yards for a touchdown ! The crowd is going wild ! Two men are arguing as to-whether he can run as fast as his “pop” used to run. Phil Robbins, a noted criminal lawyer, who has won several important cases including the case of U. S. President, Rudolph Leggett versus Mike Mardigan over the possession of a dead duck, is arguing with Forrest DeShields, the author of the crime novel, “Who Done It?” Robert Colona who is the Sergeant of Police is hastening up to stop the argument before the men come to blows and here comes the Police Chief, Pete Altman, to help him. The Blue Devil team is driving mightily down the field! Wait! The Ripple’s players have landed on our full-back. 1 hear two screams and there go nurses Agnes Hart and Peggy Talton out on the field to administer first-aid but the fullback is getting up now. It seems that all he needs is a needle and thread. Herbert Hendrix, world famous surgeon is repair¬ ing the damage with his novel pick up stitch and the play will be resumed in a minute. A dirigible is hovering over the field with a banner advertising “Grow-Pup”, sold at T. N. T. Super Market—Joe Alexander’s new grocery store. It’s now the half-time and Band Director, Maurice Synan is leading the band in the new march, “The Waltzing Flea,” com¬ posed by Mary Bishop. The main feature during half time will be the “You Throw ' Em—- We’ll Catch ’Em” tumbling act starring Vera Jane Hardy, Earnestine Parson, Christine Starke, and Frances Savage. Propli ropneci r
