SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY We, the undersigned being empowered with special ability to foretell the future, do hereby prophesy the following event. The year, 1976, November 5, election night, two confirmed bachelor girls, Anita Kurtz and Ruthann Buchanan are seated in their swanky New York apartment awaiting the 1976 presidential election retum on the M H S Television Network. What are they watching? You guessed it! Ruth Legs Leader and Mary Ann Can -Can Parker also featuring Lanky Franky Sterling and Silly Billy Davis in the Crazy Legs Jive Session, the most talked about program on the air. Suddenly the program is interrupted by a news flash. J. Frederick Nigh, the famed news com- mentator, announces from Deweyville where the outcome of the election has just been determined, Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen: The most fantabulous thing has happened. Voters of the U.S. have just elected their first Woman President, Mary Haughn. This miraculous news has stunned her to the point of speechlessness. Her personal secretary, Donald Phillips, will speak for her. Mr. Phillips? Thank you for electing her. This guarantees me a job for the next four years as personal secretary to the newly elected President. I have been authorized to announce the following appointments to madam President's cabinet: Secretary of State - Fred Altstaetterg Secretary of Treasure - Phyllis Rozelleg Secretary of Interplanetary Hot Rod Rockets - Ralph Nigh, Secretary of Army, Navy, and Airforce - Barbara Ewingg Secretary of Health, Education, Welfare and Super Markets - George Franks, Secretary of Cottonpickin' Agriculture - Marvin fTater Bugj Tate, Secretary of Labor - Susie Wade. Further Cabinet appointments will be announced at a later date. This isJ. Frederick Nigh returning you to The Crazy Legs Jive Session, sponsored by the Linda Wagner's- Wobbly Wagon Works. And now speaking for the Wagner's wagon is Kenny fBeansJ Bryan, former All-American center. Ladies and Gentlemen, I always transport my boiled beans in Wagner's Wobbly Wagons. This brings to an end our program for this week. We would like to remind you to tune in next week when our show will headline such world famous acts as: Connie Brickman directing her all-male ukelele band playing their latest smash hit ,'Peg of My 1iver'g Mary Ellen Adams' Talking Chickens, and Gerald Allen, world famous magician, who will attempt the impossible fete of making his vivacious assistant, Brenda Holladay, disappear on this very stage. Next weeks' show will be brought to you by our alternate sponsor, Roger Orwick's Orange Oysters. Suddenly the peacefulness of the bachelor girls' apartment is shattered by a loud rap on the door. Upon opening the door, the girls peered into the eyes of Dizzy Dale Smith, owner and operator of Smith's Special Delivery Service, who handed them a special message from the President of the U.S. With trembling fingers they opened the message and found that they had been invited to a lawn party honoring McComb High School's class of 1958. The girls were delighted to find that they would be transported to the nation's capitol by Sandra Shafer's Supersonic Strato -Cruiser, piloted by ace pilot, Bill Foltz. The announcement also stated that the food would be provided by the nation's finest catering service, J. D. Smith Incorporated. The girls noticed that the entertainment would be furnished by four members of the class of 1958. Just back from a concert tour of Europe the outstanding ladies quartet con- sisting of Bass, Joleen Shank, Alto, Rosie Wasson, Mezzo Soprano, Mary Stoepfelg and Soprano, Rosie Rader. The invitation stated in gold letters that the speaker for the occasion would be Industrial Tycoon and Playboy millionaire, President of General Motors, the highly successful Jackie L. Myers. The big day finally arrived and all members of the class of 1958 were present at the party given in their honor by the President of the U.S. However this prophecy would not be complete without mention of that unsung hero who worked late into the night long after all the guests had disappeared. Bending low with his sharp -pointed stick picking up each bit of paper, we see the lonely figure of Hobson Rader. 19
