LASS PROPHECY The prosperous city of New Knoxville lay garlanded and expectant beneath the Iune sunshine of the year 1974. Today the seats of the N.K.H.S. stadium were rapidly filling with hundreds who wanted to have part in the reunion of the class of 1954. The old-time members gathered for the opening march. There were heads with graying locks-if the truth is to be told there were heads beginning to lose their locks, but the old fires of enthusiasm bumed in eager eyes and perennial youth glowed in their hearts. The band finished the introduction off a lively march and the class of 1954 took its place on the flower-trimmed platform. The music changed to the strains of their old Alma Mater and the assembled members began to sing with trembling but proud voices. As the song ended DALE HENKENER, the well noted president of the Lonely Hearts Club, stepped forward and began: Ladies and Gentlemen, schoolmates of the good old days. and friends of bygone years. Before I pro- ceed with the address of this occasion I wish to present the members of the class of 1954 and give you a few facts concerning them. I will begin with LLOYD KUCK. Lloyd is the thief of the class: he stole an office from his opponent and got into the legislature-now he's in Congress and no telling what he'll get into next. Then here's PHYLLIS SCHROLUCKE. She always had a fondness for chickens. calves, and baby baa- baas, so of course she became a veterinarian. THOMAS FISHER is in the State Hospital-he has charge of it. His motto is Nuts To Us. We are proud of IOYCE HENKENER who has become the first woman president of the United States. Although it was impossible for her to be with us today, she sent her private telephone operator, IANET ELS1-IOFF. who persistently listens to all of the president's personal calls. ALFRED MANBECK is a worthy doctor. He is an allopath, and while it's said that all paths lead to the grave, I want to tell you that Alfred doesn't lead patients there very often. Maybe this is because of MAR- LENE WISSMAN, his private and very helpful nurse. NED KATTERHEINRICH, as you know. is principal of N.K.H.S. at this time and RUTH HOGE has charge of the English department. They both wanted to teach in this school in order that they might have revenge on future classes for the roasting the Faculty gave them during their high school years. DALE STOLZENBURG is part of the backbone of the country-for if good farmers are not the country's back- bone tell me what is. Dale gets all of his prize cattle from CHARLES SCHROEDER who owns the biggest cattle ranch in the state of Texas. ARLENE VVIERWILLE came today in her own private plane, The Sneaky One. She has just retumed from Germany where she has been teaching in a private school for flyers. Yesterday at the Kentucky Derby a horse by the name of Quick Silver won first place. This horse was ridden by the world famous jockey, NED WIERWILLE, who is here today and believe me he is loaded-with mon- ey. NANCY WIERWILLE lives here in New Knoxville with her wonderful family. She, as most of you know. is the mother of the famous Niemeyer Octuplets. Last week the New York Razor Blades won the world championship basketball trophy. They are coached by our very own Bl1.L BEICKMAN. I might add that all of Bil1's players get their hair cut at Luke's Lucky Barber Shop owned and operated by LUKE STIENECKER.. The Reverend GLENN WILLIAMS is here today. Glenn is pastor of the Evangelical and Reformed Church located in Shinbane. a suburb of New Knoxville. ANNETTE HINZE, the famous fashion model from New York, is not able to be here with us today. but she sends her love and told me to tell you that she will see you in the new issue of Fashions For Women. You have all heard of the new miracle drug Ridapain. This drug was discovered by the well-known surgeon MARLENE MCCULLOUGI-I. Lost week Marlene saved the life of that glamorous movie star, Carolyn Conroe, alias IEAN ANN I-IENKENER. Iean was rushed to the hospital after she accidently swallowed a diamond shoe string. ROGER EVERSMAN arrived this moming in his first successful invention, the folding automobile. As you can see, it is folded up, lying on the chair beside him. Now, dear friends, having introduced the old class of 1954, I will proceed with the address to which I invite your attention. Here the recital of the class reunion ends, for if we endeavor to recount what the flowery orator of the day said, the farmers in the audience will not get hcme in time to milk the cows in the morning. 18
