 Today we have arranged with Dr. Ruth Rokahr, prominent psychologist, to let you watch her deal with some of her patients. We take you now to her office where Charlie Harmon, ace camera man, is secreted. If your screen goes blank, don't think there is something wrong with it. Charlie has been told to censor anything risque.” The screen is blank. They must be censoring something already. I'll bet that camera man is enjoying it though. Listen. Wow! Wow!! WOW!! Go back to your cell like a good girl, Doris. How many times do I have to tell you, Dr. Rokahr? I'm not Doris Burnley. I'm Miss Rockville' of 1949. I am, too! I am, too!” Slam!! That must have been good. I wish we could have seen it. Ah. They've quit censoring. Dr. Rokahr speaks. A psychology teacher once told my class that one out of every ten people would wind up in a mental institution. Out of my class of seventy-eight, seven and eight-tenths are now in this very institution. I’ll introduce them to you. This is Jimmy King. Poor Jimmy is terribly frustrated. He keeps tearing paper into little pieces and sits and counts them out, muttering to himself the whole time. Let's listen to what he’s saying. Loves me. Loves me not. Loves me. Loves me not. She don't love me, Dr. Rokahr. I’m going out and eat worms. If Jimmy would go jump in a lake he'd feel better. How do you figure that, Allan? According to Archimedes, if a body is placed in a liquid it is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, so if Jimmy were buoyed up he wouldn't feel so downcast. That was Allan Burdette. He suffers under the illusion that he's a mathematical genius. And then there's Carl Holland, a kleptomaniac. What have you got in your pockets, Carl? Oh, just a few things a man gave me to take care of while he goes on a trip. Where is he going? To study prison conditions in Siberia. You probably won't recognize her, but this is June Lynch, former poet laureate of America, has wasted away to mere skin and bones trying to think of a word to rhyme with 'cancerophobia.' Those two girls over there standing on their heads playing catch with a ping pong ball, are bara Cole and Joanne Dawson. They got so neurotic trying to remember complicated basketball that they don't know which end is up. I know you've been dying to meet the .8 person, so here is Janice DeHaven, bare feet pipe and all. She isn't quite all there. Pfft!! Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are forced to disconl idiot spit tobacco on the microphone and gummed up the works. The Video Correspondence School is on the air! This program educating anyone interested enough to look and listen. Our faculty is rained subjects; from agriculture with Mr. Carson Fender to classes for the Wilson. In between are typing with Miss Pauline Elder, the inventor Miss Nevile Smith, whose specialty is wind instruments; art with ” for the movement in her still lifes; and knitting with Miss Ma of purling with oysters. As a special course we are introduce ticular. Wc have arranged for two experts, Misses Delores hunting and fishing. After much practical experience, these they don't know about the subject. I would also like to make it known that our faculty stands mend for use in their classes. They have to. The manufacturers of th Raymond Rawn Co. Stationers furnish us with all writing materials.
