Setting: Class reunion of W-'57 graduating class. ' Characters: Two unidentified graduates having a d1S- cussion. QDonettej Well, Carmen, seems as how we are the first ones to show up for this class reunion. fCarmenJ Yeah, I guess so. It's been 20 years since we've seen the old gang. I wonder if we'll recognize them. Well, here comes BOB BROWN. Did you hear he announced his engagement to Jayne Mans- field the other day? fDonetteJ That's nothing, did you hear about JEN- NIFER BOWEN? She is running the bump cars at Disneyland. You remember how she loved to run into things. QCarmenJ Remember Gary's car? Ha Ha. Here comes ED CARPENTER. He was elected Senator of Nevada and he appointed CHARLES KELL Commissioner of Gambling. fDonetteJ Do tell. Well, LOLA GWALTNEY is a salesgirl in the very store where Miss Reichert buys her striped T-shirts. CCarmenJ No! Well, I'm not one to gossip, but did you hear that KEN TAKESAKE, that famous artist, completed his painting of the Boiler Room at Nar- bonne, hanging secretly from a cob-web in the corner? RON BRUNSON the new principal, states that his future aim will be to open the little store. Did you know that RICHARD HOLLIS, the millionaire, donated a large sum of money for the cushioning of Mr. Turner's bench? fDonettej Well, look who is coming in now. ,It's SHIRLEY WASHBURN. You know I hear she is a professional hog caller now. CCarmenJ Look who is with her. B. B. CRANE, the biggest sensation since Elvis Presley. Have you heard his latest song, It's Me They Love. QDonetteJ Yonder comes RUTH MUNOZ, the strongest gal in the class who is now a world famous pretzel bender. fCarmenJ Oh, look at that handsome guy. That's VON LUDWIG the great composer, who just tin- ished Ludwig's Concerto No. 56 in B-flat minor. His old pal BUD GILMAN won't be here tonight, because, well, you know he's the famous ballet dancer, and he broke his big toe the other day. CDonetteJ No, he was always so graceful. You re- member Little KAYM MASUKAWO? Well, she's still pretending she's King Kong chasing Kubo through the barracks. CCarmenJ See that guy over thar with the bulging muscles, he just opened a new chain of body build- ing gyms called DE LEON'S DANDIES. CDonetteJ Yeah, I know JOAN BIRCHLER got a job working there as the before in the before and after advertisements. fCarmenJ See that guy in the uniform? That's HOWARD HENTILA. He received the Congres- sional Medal of Honor for bravery beyond and above the call of duty. He faithfully walked the Sargent's dog for five years. CDonetteJ Did you hear about DOROTHY GRIGGS? I hear that she is one of the greatest tackles they have ever had on the Rams team. fCarmenJ There comes their quarter-back TOM JONES, who is starring in a movie portraying his life. Co-starring as the manager of the team is BILL FATH. CDonetteJ There comes BARBARA FOSTER and she is still blushing when she's teased about Brunson. CCarmenJ Remember when Mr. Bernard teased her? Ha Ha. Why there's RICK MARKLEY. He's a graduate of Cal-Tech. Did you hear he developed a new method of extracting orange juice from an orange without piercing the skin. fDonetteJ Yeah, he always was a dingy one. That's COLLEEN MCCORMICK with him. I hear she's still pulling meanies on her little Ordeanies. CCarmenJ Is that HEIDO over there? Yeah. Did you hear, CNow I'm not a gossipj but I heard he was voted the most eligible bachelor of the year. I wonder if his friend NISKIMOTO will make it. You know he is Commander of the World, but was exiled to Siberia. fDonetteJ No, well CARMEN, is it true what I heard about you? I heard that you have been trying to spank your bratty kids, but they are all too tall. QCarmenJ That's true, who told? By the way, DON- ETTE, I hear that you are a spinster working in the Cafeteria at Narbonne. CDonetteJ Did you hear that SONJA MOONEY- HAM is a professional dragster now, and look at SHARON GOSSETT coming in here as absent minded as ever. She has on one blue shoe and one black one. fCarmenJ Oh, there's TOM CHAPMAN that noted veterinarian surgeon. He just performed the most important operation of his career. He removed a fish hone from his wife Judy's cat's throat. CDonetteJ Do you remember JOYCE RENTMEIS- TER? Well, I hear tell she is still wearing mops to the hayrides. CCarmenj Well, with her is ALLEN HUGGINS who has a job painting tops of flag poles with his partner FRANKIE GUARDO who paints the bottoms. CDonettej Here's EVELYN SAMPSON. She's now teaching Miss Reichert to take Shorthand 10. CCarmenj With her is ALLEN MURRELL who sold a lock of his precious curly hair for 35,000. fDonettej No fooling. I'd sure like to have some of it. Here's BARBARA REED. I hear she's been fill- ing Miss Herwig's shoes at Narbonne even if it takes her whole leg. Isn't she with RICHARD LEARMAN? fCarmenJ Yeah, he made a hit in colored TV be- cause of the redness of his face when he blushes. Look at him now. fDonetteJ Did you hear about BETTY CARLSON and ELLEN MOODY who are co-partners in manu- facturing growing pills. CCarmenJ That looks like BUD TRAVERS the noted architect who designed the new police build- ing next door to Narbonne. With him is ED PENA who topped Benny Goodman in the recent Down- beat poll. QDonetteJ There's LEEEEENDA GWALTNEY. I hear her mother in law still says Pass the spaghet- ti and Set a little harder on those levis. fCarmenJ See that distinguished looking man? That's ROBERT CHAPMAN, who is in the acting field, he is an equal to Peter Lorre. fDonetteJ I hear ROBERTA BANDELIN has just founded a children's orphanage. You know about her complete devotion to them. QCarmenJ Yes, she loves the little dears. You know that LELAND GREEN. He has developed a salad dressing to top Chef Milani. CDonettej Did you hear that LINDA BLOOMER made a million dollars, now that the hloomer girls are back in style. fCarmenJ Did you see BILL WITTINGALE on TV. He is the new Master of Ceremonies of Mickey Mouse Club. CDonetteJ Did you hear about MARY MARTINEZ and her contest. She was competing in a jump rope contest against BARBARA MILLER. CCarmenJ CARL WADA and his co-worker, KATS MINE, the mad chemist, developed a new method of picking fleas from dogs and gnats from cats. fDonetteJ D0 you see SANDRA RICHMOND? I hear she is teaching elephants to ballet. CCarmenJ I hear HERB PROVOST is home from a trip to Europe just to teach Latin at Narbonne. With him is HARRY QUINN who just returned from Egypt where he was on safari, looking for the wig of Mata Batcher, Bacha Roney's wig. fDonetteJ HELEN TRAMPUS is the scandalous Midnight at the Bubbles Theatre. fCarmenJ JOHN CAUSEY announces the birth of his 15th daughter. Not only that, but MARK WOODS that noted chiropractor is living in San Francisco with his wife and 15 kids. GEORGE KOSHAK is running Remington Rand Uni-Vac for a big marriage bureau operation in L.A. fDonetteJ Did you know that DOYLEEN is still stabbing pictures of moose-mays. CCarmenj Oh, there's JOHN STROOP who at last owns the controlling shares at Richfield and is now off the graveyard shift. fDonetteD There's DONNA KNOTI' demonstrating how a party dress can be made out of an old feed sack. fCarmenJ I read where COLIN WALKER, the heavy weight champion of the world broke his wrist building block houses, and LARRY ED- WARDS finally completed the payments on his '56 Plymouth. QDonetteJ DELORES COUNCILMAN and her old maid sisters have opened up a flop house for old bachelors. fCarmenJ I've got inside information on the fact that FELIX FOSTER will re-open the Hot 'N Tot for members of the W '57 class only.
