SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY This is Louella Parsons reporting on station N.L.H.S. The occasion is the annual get together of the 1953 graduating class. Although many have aged the past twenty years, everyone is in the jolly mood, including their dear old sponsor, Mrs. Mlllikan. Fred Huddleston, the well-known football coach at Purdue, is really strutting around. It seems that his team has just won the Big Ten Conference Championship. Jack Garvin, world-famous inventor, has just received a patent on his latest inven- tion, wind-shield wipers for eye glasses, What next????? The Honorable William King, Senator from Indiana, has just returned from a jaunt to Cuba. This very famous Senator is the one who has succeeded in sponsoring a bill to have a nation-wide speed limit of ninety-five miles an hour. Wade Wilkinson, owner of Wilkinson Sales and Service, in New Lisbon has just an- nounced the new price on gasoline, 92.5 cents per gallon. Inflation is now with us. Ray l-lalland Son are the owners of the largest farm in this area. They have the neat- est and cleanest hog pens in Henry County. As we look around, we find two very happy young women. One of our girls married as soon as she finished school. She is Barbara Pence. She is now married and has her rings to prove it, one on her finger and one through her nose. Betty Stringer, who went into the field of education, is now president of the Vassar College. It is a very cheap school,only 82,000 per semester. just call her if you are in- terested in enrolling your young lady in the Vassar. Don Burchett, the famous auto designer and builder, has just come out with an out- standing automobile, called Geronimo. Seems as though he got his ideas from his old Plymouth he drove during his high schooldays. Anyone wanting a demonstration, please have all insurance paid up and be prepared for anything. Another well-known member of the class, Ruth Ann Herr, was the first woman to drive in the 500 mile race at Indianapolis. Having broken all speed records, she is now concentrating on air racing. As you know, this program is sponsored by POORE'S HONEY WAGONS. You will find Wendell Poore's jet propelled honey wagons in every state in the Union, Canada,and Mexico. Be sure it is Poore 's Honey the next time you are in need of good honey. And so until next year, this is Louella Parsons signing off for the Class of 1953. 9
