(? edition zt 02( ctdAutyton, Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! This is Chet Brinkley, David Huntly, and Murrow R. Edwards reporting for Station N. A. H. on this 1984 Inaugural Ball. This is more of a class reunion than an inauguration, as the President has invited the members of his high school graduating class, the class of 1961. Most of them haven't been to the White House since their trip here at Washington, D. C. The guests are now filing in—the first to be greeted by Sondra Schopfer, the President's secretary, is the new governor of Illinois, Dorothy Holston House. My goodness, here is another person we did not ex-pect--it is none other than Neilicka Schaller, Premier of Russia, accompanied by the U. S. Ambassador to Russia, Gerald Meehan. And now in a wild array of fur and diamonds enter Barb Nuemberger and THE playboy on the society scene, Chuck Oberholtzer. These two are engaged in making a new smash musical written, produced, and directed by Don Sexton. By the way. Sam,” as he is affectionately known, and his Bohemian Buddies are providing the music for the ball. A large group from New Athens has just entered the hall. Among them are the president of the Farm Bureau, Roger Conner and his cousin-secretary, Carol Neff. With them are Betty Harriss, Irma Parker, Nancy Becker, and Betty Range, all secretaries in the Pentagon. Also entering is the former Rose Burnett and her husband, who has distinguished himself by flying over the North Pole and diving under the South Pole in the Navy's latest invention. Snuggling up in a corner are Steven Rockafeller's son, Ashley, and Barbara Kniepkamp, socialite heiress. Coming into the view of our cameras now are two couples who have really distinguished the class of '61--Mr. and Mrs. James Kirchhoefer (he is the president of Westinghouse, Inc. and Pat Hesse, his wife, is a Dior model in New York), and Dr. and Mrs. Jerry Leinecke. Dr. Leinecke is experimenting on lengthening the lives of various animals. Mrs. Leinecke will be remembered as Jenie Fischer, debutante and socialite on the New Athens scene. Here are some guests--Ron Barr, head coach at the University of Illinois, and Dennis Schatte, star center of the St. Louis Hawks, --sampling the elaborate spread at the banquet table prepared by Keith Moore, owner of the great chain of Carriage House Restaurants both here and abroad. Gene Beggs, of the Beggs Transport Service, isdiscussing a contract with Howard Moe Gamble, millionaire diamond miner. Thanks to Moe's taxes the national debt has been cut in half. And now back to the entrance hall for some late arrivals. Here comes Doctors Gay Herzog and Charles Knewitz, who are collaborating on a new theory of nuclear cosmofission. Next on the doorstep is Margaret Lynn (better known as Peg Wilderman) who has just finished her latest novel, Please Don't Eat The Gladiolas Beside Peyton Place. On the arm of the Secretary of Defense, Vic Main, is Jimmie Rene Calloway, his secretary and wife. One of the most charming women here is the ex-stewardess, present Mrs. America, the former Judy Vielweber. As usual, she is being her gracious self, entertaining Donald Bald, Yosemite National Park forest ranger and Jim Seibert, designer of the nuclear milking machine. Our outside cameras have just picked up the President's car approaching the drive. By the way, the President's car, the Feurer Flame, was designed by Jim. And now, the First Lady—Janice Zinkhon, former co-editor of the ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH—steps into the limelight. Her ravishing gown was designed by Mary Ellen Fries, and her stunning hair style was created by tlje owners and operators of the Salon de Paree located in the Effel Tower, the Misses Fran Loesche, Judy Schopfer, and Bev Rogers. The audience becomes silent as the orchestra begins to play the Inaugural March. And as hearts swell, with the music, we give you the President of the United States—Robert Rohr. It has been a great pleasure to bring you this long-to-be-remembered event. It can be said that the New Athens graduating class of '61 made good. Stay tuned for the next show on Station N. A. H. following a brief commercial. 16
