SsmiD c (phophsiaf This is Arthur Godfrey speaking to you from the Nokomis U. C. Me. Television Network for the maker of Lipton’s tea and noodle soup. The Class of ’50 is having their ten-year reunion. I’ve been getting some news about them. The attractive couple mingling with the crowd is the former model, BARBARA POTEET and her husband, the noted man of many characters and mysterious actions, MERLE HERPSTREITH. MARY ELLEN DAVIS has reached the height of her ambition—she is singing with Spike Jones and his “Corn Cobblers.” EVELYN CHAMBERS, “ripping good” seamstress, is sewing animals for her employer, Taxidermist DR. LYLE JANSSEN. They agree the “stuff is sew-sew.” HERMIT HECK arrived late. In honor of the occasion he gave his long white beard a Toni. DON “McHUBER” has just started a world revolution by introducing polka dots into Scotland. BOB and GEORGIA “KETTELKAMP” SCHNIEPP have changed the Club Supreme into a “Toot N Tell M” hamburger stand. ANDY HVIZDOS, the headless wonder, has improved his famous meat-cutting machine. It removes heads instead of “hams.” SHIRLEY AUMANN, the proclaimed old maid, is taking accordion lessons at Eastern State in order to accompany Maestro DONALD STAUDER and his “Toot the Flute” Symphony Orchestra. EUGENE JOHNSON has just finished successful experiments on a Pontiac rocket-ship to Mars. He was disappointed to find another person; KILROY WAS THERE. HELEN CLAVIN and BILL CASSIDY are running a swank night club, “The Lost Corner,” in Brooklyn, New York. JEAN POCOCK and MARY ANN TESTER have laid aside their broken hearts and established a world-wide organization, the S. S. S. (Sorrowful Spinsters Society). TOM CLAVIN is a wealthy playboy; his fortune was gained by inventing growing pills so every one can grow as tall as he has. DORIS WARNSING is a graduate with high honors from Dennie Demwit’s Dramatic School. She will play the leading role in “My Friend Irma” this fall. LUCILLE HOEHN has recently been promoted to a Sergeant in the Wacs. Her once soothing voice is now a growl. Surprise! Fuller brush salesman, CARL BEVILL, is no longer a mechanic, but not because he can’t see very well. His new Cadillac doesn’t require the attention that the Ford of ’50 did. Are your children weak-eyed and knock-kneed? The Blasko children aren’t. They have been fed on Lipton’s tea and noodle soup since birth. Surely you have heard of the famous three sets of triplets born to Mr. and Mrs. PETER BLASKO. Mrs. Blasko is the slick chick from Hillsboro. Yaaas!! It’s the tea for me and the soup for you. And now to go back to this gathering of celebrities. RALPH PAVOLKO has put Nokomis on the map. He is known as “Ralphie, the Crooner.” The song he made famous was “Sway Back Home.” DENNIS JOHNSON and his “missis,” the former JOANNA SPEARS, are living, in New York where she is supporting a Change Your Name Law in Congress. DOCTOR FRANCES BENDER has invented a new machine by which she can milk the Milky Way. P. S.—She reports it comes out pasteurized. TWENTY-TWO

SmuoSl (phophsm MARILYN HINTON, a Chicago fortune teller, predicts that N. T. H. S. will have a plastic gym in 1999. Making the tours with the noted orchestra, “Tiny Hill,” which is now called the Five Mistakes, are JIM KEELE and RICHARD HARRISON.

SHIRLEY CHADWICK is a part time gas station employee (her husband, “Aines,” doesn’t like to work very well). MELVIN BOLIARD is now teaching others his only accomplishment, pounding sand into a rat-hole. HAZEL STEVENS, world’s famous acrobat, is touring with Barnabus Bailey’s Circus. She does hand stands and backward rolls 100 feet in the air. GEORGE REED is the society editor of the BOWERY GAZETTE. He writes of only the good-looking female type. EDWIN BEST, JR., cannot be with us today. He is touring Hawaii, speaking on “How to keep warm.” NORMAN CHADWICK is performing before 50,000 at Sportsman’s Park. His wife, LINDA BARNSTABLE, is there cheering him on. BERTIE BAGLEY is now doubling for Frankenstein in his latest picture, “Love ’em and Leave ’em . . .

T. T. (Teller of Tall Tales). Congratulations! DAVE CARROLL is a wealthy antique collector. He has just arrived on his bicycle built for two. With him is his most valued antique, his wife whom he picked up in Arabia. ALVENA WILLIAMS is a famous lawyer. When she has the facts, she hammers the jury; the law, she hammers the judge; but when she has neither, she hammers the table. “Time’s up so ... if the good Lord is willin’, I’ll see you in ten years.” B. B. R. H. And now a word from our sponsors: The Class of Nineteen Fifty Because it is so thrifty For such a lively group Uses Lipton’s Noodle Soup. It brings them from a coma Just in time for their diploma, And whether rich or poor Will use it evermore. TWENTY-THREE
