THE PROPHECY And now, friends, THREEFEETS TOOTHPASTE brings to you its universal news commentator ..... Gabriel Radiator!!!!! Ah, yes, thereIs good news tonight. After twenty long years on life's stony path, the weary Class of '47 gathered to- gether this May night with their sponsor, Mrs. Robert Taylor tstill with red hair and still talkingD to relate their successes and failures. It was a rather informal gathering-recalling their days in Pinkiels English classes. Since my time is limited I shall only relate the careers of the most peculiar, unusual, and outstanding people of this famous group. Perhaps I should mention hrst one of the molt unusual of all occupations, that of one Mr. Whitney Bramlette, a well- known millionaire, whose alimony checks, so his secretary, Miss Doris Joyner reports, are getting more and more numerous. In the past twenty years he has been married to Marie Hacker; home-economics teacher, Mary Alice Smith, now the wife of Count Amos Connellovitch, Becky Ann Shultz, who has gone back to W. D., and Love Lindsey, a famous model from the exclusive Hallie Hall Shoppe. Incidentally, it is rumored that Vivian Tucker, recently widowed millionairess has an eye on Mr. Bramlette. In Mr. Bramlette's party at the reunion were Joe Stansell, one of his many lawyers, and Margaret Ann Tubbs, Mr. Stansell's secretary. Mary Ellen Shanks, Jimmie tBrown-Eyesl Foster, and Jeanne Hugli, stars in the famous Broadway musical, Bob Fortis Follies, flew from New York this afternoon just for this reunion. They were accompanied by Mr. Fort and their director, Jeanette Williams. Also coming from New York was Joan LeSueur, owner and manager of the LeSueur Advertising Firm. George Newsom, arrived several hours later. Her assistant, Another former student attending was Jim Oune Fruitl Mayberry, nationally known emcee on the Fivefingers Quiz program. The commercial singer on this program is Miss Jerry Ryan. The Fivehngers program is followed by Carolyn LuEman, the Lady Next Door, teller of children's stories. The two famous bandleaders, Oglesby Moe Lowe. and George Stelogeannis, were fortunately playing three week en- gagements in Miami, so they flew up with Ben Dalton and Joan Duane, nationally famous dance team, which was appear- ing with them at the Beach Comber. But before I continue,-a word from our sponsor. Are your teeth soft? Do you have trouble chewing your food? Use Threefeets and solve all your troubles. Thank you. Ben Covington and Dickie Meadows, struggling comedians, were the closest to home, however, playing a one-night stand in Santos. While speaking of the struggling, I must mention Marion Doro, cub reporter for the womanls page of the Star-Banner, whose editor is Joanne Pharmer. The commercial art firm of Hicks, Dossey 8c Moorhead, Inc., Was represented by Loretta Hicks, Melba Dossey, and Bobbie Jean Moorhead. While some of this class have spread throughout the United States, a great many have remained in Ocala. Ah, yes, it reminds me of my youth. They are: Patsy Holden, golf- pro. at the Highlands, Roger Lee Philips, local milkman, who fulhlls this capacity in more ways than one, Bob Jaycox, foot- ball and basketball coach at Ocala High, Bob Mauk, garbage collector, Jimmie O'Steen, Colonel of the Home Guard tthatls the closest he could get to the Armyl, James Yancey, shoe salesman at Penney's, Chedoine Flapper Stanaland, still soda- jerking, Grace Stephens, music teacher in the primary school, Allen Ross, owner of the Grand Champion Bull Sultana, Ray Milton, Colonel Garth's successor in the Chemistry lab., Wil- liam Raymond Faust, Sultana's doctor, Chris Jensen, beloved History teacher, Dot Vogt, one of Chris' students, Audrey Henry, author of best selling sequel to Gone With the Wind, Here Come: the Breeze, Dorothy Douglas, tap-dancing instruc- tor, Frances Ferguson, orchid collector, Ruth Gray, pianist at the Sunset, Willard Shoemake, vocalist, also at the Sunset, Nancy Hefner, poet laureate of Florida, now residing at Chat- tahoochee, Shirley Huff, recently promoted from ticket seller to assistant manager at the Ritz, Louise Katiba, Chamber of Commerce secretary, Mary Helen Ketcham, professional baby sitter, Margaret Odom, model, Mary Lewis and Shirley Lindsey, co-owners of famous chain stores, Lewis-Lindsey, Thelma and Zelma Roberson,- owners of toy shop specializing in toys for twins, Melva Rose Schneider, carrying on as florist for Schnei- ders Florist Shop, Ann Shaw, just sitting around and assisting Betty Jane Pentacost and Marjorie Blair in their novelty shop when she gets up the energy, Jay Parrish, beach comber at the Sulfur Trickle, and Whigham tPaO, Whigham tBarbaral, and Britt tDonaldl , local law hrm. One moment pleaSWa communique from Cairo, Egypt has just been handed meeOh, tsniE-snifD this is sad indeed!!!!!! Two of the most promising members of the Class of ,47 developed a surprising insight into the future after writing the prophecy for their class. And now after twenty long years of silence, their voices have been heard across the continents tand the ocean, tooi as they sit in the 'shade of the palms tthey couldn't stand the sunl surrounding their oasis, sifting the sands of time, and predicting the future for the millions of people who come seeking their aid. Some day they may returnewho knows? tthe shadow knowsl. But now, I see that my time is running outeso I will bid you a fond farewell from Threefeets Toothpaste-and reminding you that if you use Threefeets todayenofeets tomorrow tand no teeth eithen. Thank you and good-night. NANCY ANN ELLIS and BETTY DEKLE, Clan Prophets
