We are happy to have with us the two academy award winners, Virginia Alexander and Brady Wolfe, who are leaving by jet to go on location for their newest movie, Kat People of the Moon , co-starring Gwen Faulk, Howard Tutwiler, and David Marsh. Now to get on with the show. You will see the wonder of the world as the famous magician Hudonit , Wayne Mauk, will turn his partner, Jo Ann Wilbanks, into stone! Anita Johnson, the little girl who has determined to put Kate Smith in the shade, will sing When the Moon Shines on Central City . Penny Jebeles and Howard Whitley are hare to give you a preview of their new dayt'.me television serial Search for Yesterday , written by Terrell Duchock with organ music supplied by Ronald Travis. To conclude tonight's parade of stars, I present to you the Marsette Quintuplets , who are just back from a two-weeks' vacation. On our most modern space station, they will demonstrate strange dances taught them by Robert Grady Sides and Jerry Swafford, the scientists who hated bop and decided to remain on Mars. Members of the group are Jimmy West, Faye Pate, Mary Jo Salter, Jimmy Cullen, and Barbara Smith. We are sorry that Jalon Payne and Mary Poarch, the comedy team, who always keeps us in stitches, couldn't get baby sitters and were unable to be here tonight. Thanks to Eugene Burford and his fine band for furnishing the music for the show, and especially to our director, Donald Chambliss, who scouted the corners of the world to get all our friends together tonight. Just before signing off, I want to read a telegram from Principal Alan Holmes of Phillips High saying, I now pronounce you 'Big Wheels', the ancestors of the green doors of whom we are very proud. P. S. Your darling descendants, of whom I am taking very good care, are also very proud of you. —Ann Varnon page 25

Curtains Rise Outside Green Doors The curtain goes up for the first time in the New Year of 1970 on the Inky Gog-gan, Jr. Show sponsored by the Linda Hamrick-Joyce Lewis Mud-Pack Corporation including an actual demonstration by Bertha Taylor. Tonight you will see a parade of Big Wheels who got their start behind the green doors of dear old Phillips High School. First, we shall hear from the Middle-agers , composed of Tyler Glenn, Billy Cross, Phil Boissel, and Jerome Lane, who will sing Too Old To Cut The Mustard. We should like to send our best wishes to Judy Sawyer and Nolan Nakos, who are abroad competing for the Ping-Pong Championship in the Olympics. Girls, hold on to your seats, for that teen-age rage, Ray Davis, is going to sing Too Much , written by the famous composer, Ruth Brown. Sylvia Brown and her Slew Foot Five including Fay Thompson, Carolyn Marie Jones, Mary Ann Burton, Judy Strong, and Corrine Zylman will do their rendition of Rock Around Mother Goose. Ralph Neely will demonstrate the new Neely Tot Rod which seats twelve people, especially designed for the Misses Sherry McCurry, Mary Sue Ray, and Jane Donaldson Girls' School. And now to introduce that sensational singing duet which recently toured Africa: Olivet Summers and Jimmy Nail, who will sing Throw Mama From the Train. Tonight we are honored to have in our audience some celebrities, whom I wish to introduce at this time. Let's have the spotlight on Jimmy Cartledge, newly-elected garbage collector of Inglenook, Alabama. His able assistants, who run the Greasy Spoon on the side, are O. T. Alford, Larry Bryant, and Bruce Nelson. Up in the balcony I see my old friend, Charles Waide, who is running an old folks' home especially for dilapidated football players. Sandra Kincaid seems to be making a big success as head nurse. Her assistant nurses, noted for their cheerful bedside manners, are Carolyn Shealy, Juanita Richards, and Mary Poarch. PAGE 24
