CLASS PROPHECY minks. His advice to all males is “Raise minks young man, raise minks.” But Mutt, we thought you were going to raise Foxes? Les Sutter is now a sports announcer on the radio. The sale of Carter’s Little Liver Pills has gone up 1009 since they started to sponsor his program. Donna Heinhertz is swooning over a certain new jeep. She thinks that it’s absolutely wonderful, especially since she has half interest in it. Beverly Perry and Mary Gingerich have become very successful partners. They pose for “before and after” pictures for the Du Barry Success Course. Bernice Railing is a school teacher at Hebron. She is teaching all the little girls “what not to say when.” Mrs. King is a model at a huge concern. She poses for a company that makes animal crackers. Mr. McMurtry is now doing research work to advance the development of tele- vision. Solid Geometry was too much of a snap for him. George Deardurff (who is now head of the molding department at Indiana Steel) spends all his spare time making statues of beautiful girls. Miss Xurafees, who is an ambassador to Russia, is teaching all the young Russian males how to speak Greek. Mr. Betz just wrote a book entitled “Why Students Shouldn’t Heckle Teachers.” It is dedicated to his 1949 bookkeeping class. Miss Cochron is now the girl that shoots the guns to start horse races. She shoots —the horses start to run and she invariably pops up with “I didn’t say to yet.” Well, folks I must leave you now. See you next week. Tune in at 7:15 to KPJS.

CLASS PROPHECY Ladies and gentlemen we now present to you the “Who’s Who Review of the Air.” Our commentator tonight will bring you up to date on tne Kouts Senior Class of 1949. Mr. Lowe!---------- Good evening folks! This is Jack Lowe broadcasting from Kouts’ Pride and Joy Station—KPJS. Of course the man in the news tonight is Jim Schumacher who is now running for President of the United States on an independent ticket. He has a good chance of being elected too as his former classmate, Vincent Sommers, is the newly elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. It is rumored that Judge Sommers is going to outlaw both the Republican and Democratic parties. The Presidential candidate was seen lunching in the very exclusive restaurant on broad- way run by Jean Arnold “Susie Slop Slingers”! Miss Arnold’s best chef in Don Polizzotto who specializes in Luigi cheesa-sand-da-weeehes and ap-pa-la pie. Another celebrity seen dining there was Betty Bodamer who is now a very famous clothes designer. She is most noted, of course, for her French bathing suits which she also models. Ooo-La-La. Dining with Miss Bodamer was Miss Evelyn Kraker who is now engaged at Carnegie Hall. Her public’s favorite is, of course, “1 he Mexican Hat Dance,” which was discovered many years ago at a party in this fair city of ours. Seated outside the cafe was Mert Clay pool who is now a taxi driver (a Chev, of course). Her motto is “Safety First” and she’s had only two or three accidents so far this week. She is, however, doing Luie French a great deal of harm since people often refuse to deal with him. The word got around that he taught Mert how to drive. By the way, he runs a business called “Lessons for the Ladies.” He teaches them how to drive. His assistant is Mary Laubner who demonstrates “what not to do.” Flash! We have two very important announcements for you. Lana Turner has again announced wedding plans. Who is she to marry? Why no other than Hollywood’s most sensational new French star, Jac Tableau. (Jack Tabler). Lana says that this time she’s marrying for love instead of money. Our second flash—you have all probably heard of the strange disappearance oi Joyce Neuffer. Well, Mr. Broad has developed a new, very powerful, telescope and insists that he has seen her running around on Mars, lie leaves us to ou own conclusions as to how she got there. Well, back to my regular announcements--------- A common sight these days is that of an old man walking down the street leading two cows by a leash. It is Wilbur Lippeit who feels that animals too should have their daily exercise. Speaking of cows reminds me of Vic who is now a minister. Reverend Martin holds revival meetings every evening in his barn while he milks his cows in time to the rhythm of “The Gettysburg Address.” Naturally we can’t forget our Senior Sponsor. I am very happy to inform you that Miss Dittmer is at the present a private tutor to Jim Tuesberg. She couldn’t stand the monotony of the teaching profession after he graduated. The cause of the lack of dates around town has at last been found. All the beautiful young girls are flocking around Mutt Fox who is a very successful raiser of
