nNow,n said Connie, NI'll tune you in on Hollywood, where we will see a demonstration on hair styling.N And who do you suppose the beautician was? None other than Miss Betty Heshelman appeared on the screen. It seems that Betty was hair stylist for all the Movie Stars in Hollywood and owned the most exclusive shop to be found anywhere. And then Miss Slack got tired of the program and changed channels. She had the State Finals of the IHSAA and Lyons was playing in the final game. They were leading Tech of Indianapolis by thirty-one points, and the Lyons team was being coached by Bill Fulk of Bushrod. Lyons won the game and the I. U. Band was play- ing the Lyons School Song. The I. U. Band was under the direction of Eddie Deckard, the new I. U. Band Director. Miss Slack then turned off her TV set, and picked up the current issue of UThe 1962 Bui1der's Guiden. She opened the mag- azine and saw a beautiful home pictured. nMy H exclaimed Miss Slack, Uwhat I wouldn't give for a home like that.W The house had won first prize in a contest sponsored by the magazine and, to her surprise, the builder was none other than Architect Richard Baker of Lexington, Kentucky, formerly of Newberry, Indiana. She turned the page and saw an advertisement which read, UBuy your TV set at Gary's.U It seemed Gary Earlywine was now running a TV Shop at Farmersburg, Indiana, where he and his wife, the former Helen Morrison, and their six children were living. At the bottom of the page was Bob Vaughn's add. nGet your Registered Angus Cattle at Bob's Farm at Sullivan, Indiana.n Bob was owner of several hundred head of Angus Cattle. She glanced on through the magazine and saw an add for a new make of automobile, UThe Haper-6 N. The builder and designer of the car was none other than Phil Haper of Lyons and Indianapolis. Just then Miss Baker brought in the UMorning Starn. nMV,U said Miss Slack glancing out the window to see the sun slowly rising, HDon't tell me I read all n1ght.N As she looked at the nMorning Starn, she saw where the ship USS Missouri was docking at New York, and Joe Bill Hasler was the Lieutenant Commander in the Navy in charge of the ship. nwell, look here, Mavis Fines is getting a marriage license.n Wwell, her ambition was to get married and have a family. Good luck to you, Mavis.N WHere's another add.n NLet Koehler's Electric Shop do all your new home wiring.n nAnd here's where Jim Campbell has just purchased a new fleet of trucks and has a million dollar contract with the government.N And in the Society Column, Miss Slack saw where Mr. and Mrs. Keith Anderson were vacationing in Florida.

PROPHECY One dull evening, in late February, as Miss Slack-was sit- ting in her home, reading the February 25, 1962, issue of the Lyons Daily News she came upon Jimmie Fiddler's column of gossip about important people across the nation. The very first paragraph was about Ethel Malone, the famous society figure, who had just been named to top the list of the HTen Best Dressed Women in America.N And here was another name Miss Slack recognized, Katy Pat- terson. This is what Jimmie had to say about Katy: UMiss Katy Patterson, the famous Metropolitan Opera Star of the South Pacific, has just been appointed Secretary to the President of the United States, D. H. Vass. It seems that D. H. and Katy have been friends of good standing for a long time.n Hwhy what's this?H exclaimed Miss Slack. Hlt says here the very talented ballet dancer, Marilyn Wesner, star of the Ballet Russe, is making a trip to Rome, Italy, where she is to star in a 'com and performance' before the King of Italy in the large Roman Stadium.n And just think, I knew her way back when, thought Miss Slack to herself. Just then the telephone rang and who do you think it was? Yes you guessed it, Mr. Keller. He had called to tell Miss Slack to turn on her TV set to channel 14, where the program NCurrent Eventsn was just about to begin. So Miss Slack ran to the ice box, grabbed herself a candy bar, and prepared to watch TV. As the program began, a medley of very impressive music was heard, and as she turned the knob to focus the picture better, she soon recognized the orchestra as the New York Philharmonic, and what do you know, there was Bernie Crum directing the orchestra and they were featuring, Miss Miriam Nichols, who had won world fame as a concert pianist. nwhy, I remember when both of them were in Lyons High School, but I never dreamed they would some day be that famous.H And then as the program progressed, the scene was changed from Boston to New York where a fashion parade was taking place, and on the screen flashed Miss Jane Truelove, who was now a famous model in Macey's Department Store. She was modeling a very beautiful coral tafetta, off the shoulder evening gown, and over her left arm was a white ermine evening cape. nBy the way,U said the announcer, nMiss Truelove is married and rears a family on the sideline.n End now W the announcer said, whom Miss Slack suddenly recognized as donnie Edwards, Nyou are to be an eye-witness to a Jet Plane flying faster than sound.H Later on she found that the plane was piloted by Ricky Byrd, who was a Colonel in the Air Force. The announcer added, Nyou will remember Ricky in the great motion picture, 'Love, Love, and More Love'.u
