There is the founder now. Miss Judy Pearson. Who are those boys she ' s chasing? I do believe they ' re Herb Dulinsky and Bob Diffenderfer . Shame on those boys, they should know better than to run in the halls with nothing on but hospital gowns. Those graduates of the 1961 class of Petroleum are up to something. We got here just in time for the weekly hour of innnates on Parade. They are opening up the show with a commercial. Jim Gerber is advertising his own food. It seems he had all his teeth removed so he could gum the food properly like a baby. First, we have that famous trio of rock and rollers, Shirley Bowman, Raymond Pinkerton and Dorrence Lewis. Ray and Shirley are revising that old standard song, The Twist. Dorrence has finally reached his idol ' s dimensions. Here he comes, swinging in the best of style, like a hound dog with an itchy flea. Next, we have a classical number by Ronald Ramseyer with Spider -Finger s Ellison accompaning him at the piano. Ronald is going to sing Madame Butterfly. While you are listening to this fine arrangement, we will set up a film tour of the hospital. I ' nn quite sure a few of us enjoyed it. Those that didn ' t will you please wake up, now ? In this slide we see some typical family problems that confront the co-workers. Connie Johnson is having trouble locating her husband, Bob Williams. I guess he doesn ' t like to work well enough to support their two maids, old maids that is, Judy Shaffer and Susan Stoner. They are trying to convince Bob to hire Steve Smith as a chauffeur. They love his quaint way of flirting. We now come to an illness known as mechanical illness. Steve Studebaker seems to think he is a Studebaker Lark. This ordinarily wouldn ' t be very serious, but his engine has a noticeable knock. Here is that illness known as love sickness. Deewayne Harshman is recovering from a fall from the Statue of Liberty. He was singing, Please Help Me, I ' m Fall- ing, to Rosemary McClish. That ' s all for now folks. Will you all kindly retire to the basement for a party presented by the inmates? The host and hostesses are Mr. Alan McCune, Miss Judy Bower and Miss Pat Uptgraft. They are announcing their engagement to each other. They like the three-way plan. Thank-you for attending this quiet social event in our honor. Good-bye and Good luck. Flash! ! We have just received word a new member has been admitted to the Asylunn . We wish to welcome Mr. George Smith, and we hope he ' ll be as happy as the rest of us squirrels. Oh! excuse me. I mean nuts. 60 The HF Grout Indiana Plant ,102224 C 15 00 7 27 2007
