CLASS PROPHECY This is Station LSJH-TV coming on the air. Here we are at the New Jacksonville Municipal Auditorium. This night of June 12, 1965, will be recorded in the annals of Jacksonville's history as a memorable occasion upon which this new magnificent and much needed audi- torium was dedicated. The spacious building was de- signed by architect Schley Hunt and built by the Yar- borough and Hamrick Construction Firm. Before the curtain goes up on this first benefit pro- gram, I will tell you some of the prominent personages in the audience. I am up in the TV box and right below me here I see Jacksonville's most famed reporters, Verna McClain and Artie Perry. Snapping pictures down there is Denis Umstot. Since tonight's performance is a benefit for the Cancer Fund, there are many people of the medi- cal profession here. Together tonight is the famous pair of scientists, Doctors Babs Carter and Pat Zipperer, who have iust discovered a cure for polio with the help of chemist Jerry Hartwig and pharmacist Tony Braden. I also see Doctor Wondle Bynum with her two nurses, Misses Margaret Lofton and Cecilia Williams. Way over in the corner is the famous team of veterinarians Dennis Enger and Patsy Roddenberry. Dentist Roy Reid and his assistant, Helen Hallenbeck, are also here. There are four other dentists down there too, Doctors Donald Farlow, Don Mobley, Jackie Allen and Robin Tinsley. Sitting in the front row are Dick Ralph, stock car driver ancl Jimmy Mangels, motor boat racer. Other sportsmen and sports women in evidence are Colin Cameron, Gloria Amos, Vir- ginia Hansford, Stan Parkinson and Buddy Mullis. Golfer Pat Robinson and baseball player Pat Smith are here also. The co-owners ofthe Collis and Futch Funeral Parlor are attending with their families. Well, I see the curtain is going up! The first act on the program is the famous dancing team of Brown, Ham- mond, and Stewart-Gee,-weren't they good? The house lights are coming on now. In the front row I see those two famous inventors Buddy Phillips and Blair Jarrett. Seated next to them are the heroic officers of the courageous ship Do-nut, Jack Mersereau and Bobby Markham. These two men with their crew, part of whom were the Lake Shore boys, Eddie Allen and K. L. David- son, saved a wrecked ship barehanded, and barefooted I might also say. Sitting near the back are pilots Bobby Richens and Robert Cassedy, escorting the lovely air hostesses Penny Pickels, Nancy Winegeart, and Nancy Easterling. They just flew the Nicholson and Hewett Flea Circus in for the performance tonight. I think some of the actors must have escaped into the audience. From behind the curtain tantalizing tunes are coming from the orchestra under the direction of Sam Matthews. The house lights are now dimming and the curtain is rising to reveal the daring act starring Lynn Brodt, animal trainer. incidentally, she collected some of her animals on an African safari with the missionaries, Angela Howell, Polly Polston and Billy Stevenson.-Well, I see that Miss Brodt's nurses, Annette Kirkland and Barbara Hilton didn't give any first aid tonight. Folks, you have a treat coming after the next act. Dur- ing intermission we are going back stage. While they are getting ready for the act, I will point out some more notable people for you. Right now in Jacksonville the Stenographers of Amer- ica are holding their annual convention. Many of the association's officers are here, some of whom are Sandra Osborne, Lois Leath, Nioma LaVorgna, Rae Jean Fletcher, Mary Ann Haynes, Linda Aaron, Doris Bryant and Helen Dwelle. We have just been informed of the disappear- ance of Miss June Highsmith, model from the Nuckolls and Morton Model Agency. It is believed that she might have eloped. The Bassford 8: Henry Detective Agency is working with the FBI agents, Billy Wilks, Gary Meadows and Janet Bishop, in an effort to find her. Seated with Miss Morton and Miss Nuckolls tonight are three of their models, Qayle Johnston, Donna Kay Paul, and Carol Stepp. Attending the show tonight are two of the world's most prominent writers, Susan Dalhouse and Nancy Pad- gett.
