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.
