Vicky Jo Erley is singing with the Screach and Scream Opera Company. How many are the times I have listened to her screaming and enjoyed it? She can sing two whole songs and still keep reasonably close to a tune. Undoubtedly you sheep men here in our audience know Marv Crawford and John Mayfield as co-owners of a ranch on which they have perfected a new type of seed which will grow wool faster than sheep. They are putting you out of business and aren't the most popular people around here. You must all be familiar with Janet Hofstra, editor of the London Times, but her main interest lies in the field of Beautitian work. Last time I saw her, she was on her way to style Charley McCarthey's hair, but she managed to get away and be with us tonight. After she graduated from College, she got a proposal from a Texas oil man, but was dedicated to her work and joined the Cuttem Close Hairdressers' Union instead. Some of you may remember me as Sharon Mac Dougall. Now I am a surgeon and occasionally Janet Hofstra and I combine her beauty culture with plastic surgery. Incidently, my degrees consist of Bachelor of Science F. O. G. , H. E. L. P. , D. D. T. , and S. O. S. ; so if any of you feel like you need any type of surgery, come to me. Also, I am affiliated with the local mortician and can get you a reduced price. Stan Cheek made quite a hit with the women in Hollywood. He tried out for a lead part in a new movie and got it because the gals just can't resist his winning ways. He is co-starring with Lassie. The class of '55 turned out a teacher and professor. It is Art Cearns, and he is teaching veterinarianism. He is a fine vet himself and has a contract with Joyce to doctor her horses, but his specialty is caring for sore throats for giraffes. Barbara Coburn is a famous lawyer that argues many of her cases before the Supreme Court. She is well known for her speaking ability and often goes on speaking tours. Barb gained her basic training from daily reports that she enjoyed giving so much in her Senior American Problems Class. The girls watching this show will certainly know David Hansen, who has already piled up his first million, as editor and owner of a women's magazine, Dave's Fabulous Fashions . His hobby is designing ladies swimming suits, which he can advertise in his magazine. Dave is quite happy in his work. Do you remember Bob Green the famous cyclist? Well, he is back in his native Texas, living quietly on his chicken farm, which was his first prize in an Indianapolis motorcycle race. He has to wear a hat when around his chicks because they are afraid of his flaming red hair. Elton Martin was heard giving a speech on the subject Squirrels on the White House Lawn by a TV scout and consequently is sound effects man on Television. I understand he has quite a number of ideas. In fact, he is working on this show right now and doing a fine job. Craig Wilson is certainly up in the world, and a good position to look down on the rest of us, as a window washer on the Empire State Building. Sports fans know Jack Bateman as a coach for the Los Angeles Rams and his team that hasn't been beaten for 7 straight years. To make a little pin money, during half time Jack pushes a cart around the field selling fresh fish. 15 Sharon Mac Dougall

As spokesman for the class of '55, may I say we are all very happy to appear on this television program, World's Most Famous People . I am proud that we are all so well known as to be asked to appear in a group. Now I will refresh all your minds with some history of these important people, and what they have accomplished since they graduated twenty years ago from Maupin High School. First, you all know Joyce Wing who lives in Hawaii and owns a string of race horses. Just last year one of her horses won the Hawaiian Handicap for 25 year olds. It is rumored that she is seeing a lot of a Sheik from Saudia Arabia whom she became acquainted with at a steeple chase in England. Knowing Joyce, I am sure her interest was in the horses and not the Sheik. Harold Spurgeon is in the automobile business and invented a device that will give 157 miles to the gallon. As yet, it works only on bicycles. He also owns a service station and Bob Skeen is his head mechanic. Bob made a slight mistake while fixing the rear end of a custom built Cadillic and all the gears went backward, except reverse. Next is Dolores Webb, who runs a fashion show in the Nevada Desert for educated monkeys, of which she is head model. She made a tour of Paris with her shows and came back with many new ideas and fashions. Dolores is not married but is still planning on it eventually. I must say, George is awfully patient. Many of you will know on sight the president of a construction company, Junior Whitesell. He is right now building a multi-million dollar dam on Trout Creek at Willowdale. John Eckert is a prospector in the Rocky Mountains and has added Francis, the talking mule, to his pack string to keep him company. Gladys Palmer owns a logging camp at Tygh Valley. She is married to Dick, her foreman, and they have five children who are known as the Lucky Loggers Dance Team . By the way, the name of the camp is Lilac Bush Logging Company . Although Don Cooley was expected to be a minister he is a gambler in Nevada, where he runs a huge establishment and is putting Harold's Club out of business. Don makes a lot of money and is said to be really loaded. So, are his dice. 14
