PROPHECY OF THE BRAVES Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your announcer BARBARA PAULLIN introducing another famous Home Folks show. As you well know, there are only a few hours left in the year 19783 as a special New Year's Eve show we have brought to our studio the 1958 Class of Rowe High School from Conneaut, Ohio. This may mean nothing to many of you out there in television land, but our emcee of the Home Folks show was a member of this famous class. Here he comes now, folks! MR. LEONARD CEGLIE. Hello, everybody, the show coming up to- night is one near and dear to my heart. So instead of introducing our guests myself, I will have my announcer do the whole show. But first a word from our sponsors. For your New Year's Eve Party tonight, food is a big factor and I hope everybody bought plenty of Crunchy Munchy potato chips. Imagine those thin slices of potatoes dumped into big vats of hot greasy fat to come out crisp, crunchy and greasy! And now back to the Home Folks Show. I'll introduce each person now and then we'll tlk to them after we greet the New Year at mid- night. First, the famous Allen and Sullivan of to- day RICHARD LAMPI and GARY TUTTLE. These boys took over the competing Sunday evening shows on different channels. Both have highly rated programs. Next on the agenda are our three glamorous actresses PAT MOSTELLO, NITA KUHN, and CONNIE LEAVERS. And we mustn't forget NITA'S poodle which has become a trademark to the three girls, who are now as famous as the Garbor sisters of twenty years ago. Now tripping out on our stage comes the funniest comedian ever to hit television. When I say tripping, I mean it, for CHARLIE STUMP al- ways stumbles into his act. A little fanfare from the orchestra now as three bearded men walk out to the microphone: DANNY SZALAI, BOB DIASIO, and DICK NEL- SON. They recently took a trip to the moon and came back in a hurry. The explanation is in their book A Trip to the Moon in More Days than We Could Count on Our Fingers and Toes. May we quote this inspired passage, We came back from the moon because it's made of green cheese: and if there's anything we hate, it's green cheese. The fashion dictator of the world comes pa- rading in with her cohorts and her top models. As they draw closer to the camera, we recognize SU- SAN PARKOMAKI, with BARBARA PAZIORKO and NANCY BLOOD and her models MARIE PASSMORE, JOY KESATIE, and BECKY GRAY. Since SUSAN'S rise in fame, skirts have stayed at a twelve inch height and haven't hovered above and below the knee each year as they had back in the Nineteen fifties. One of the busiest men in the U. S. at this time is the atomic scientist standing beside me, JIM DENNING. He and a few other fellow scientists VICTOR MOISIO, JOHN BENNETT, JOE BRITCHER, and JOE SPECHT are engaged in finding a way to get the latest U. S. Statesnik out of the sky. For after it was launched, someone discovered one of the workers, FRANCIS THOMAS, had been left in- side. Poor FRANCIS! A modern day Mannik like the Muttnik of 1957!

PROPHECY OF THE BR V Now come the smartly uniformed secret po- lice guarding our President. Officers WILLIAM BACON and DUANE ANDERSON look very tough and imposing as they escort our President to the microphone. President CLARENCE JOHNSON and the first lady KENNA MOOK bring with them Secretary of State NORMA BLOOD, who is the first woman to be appointed Secretary of State. Rhythm and Blues singers JUDY HUNT and LESTER BENNETT dash out on the stage now amidst the roars and screams of todays' teenagers. Their latest hit song is 'Charlie was a Boxer! So What Does That Make George?' JUDY and LES will sing their song later in the eveningg so quiet down now, kids. Here we have the famous star of the new Lone Ranger series, LANCE KELLEY and his faithful Indian scout GARY EVANS. The only actors missing now are Silver and Scout who are undoubtedly out riding the range. The Betty Crocker of today is standing before our camera now. It's JOAN READ with two of her assistants, CAROL TUTTLE and BONNIE LAW. CAROL and BONNIE have to taste all the recipes JOAN invents. Lucky girls, for JOAN'S recipes are out of this world. I see all feminine eyes turning toward our next visitors, MISS KAY KIRK and her flying glamor girls BRENDA MOONEY, and RITA KUHN. These girls operate the Sissy Flying School and Airport in New York. Later in the show Kay will give you ladies some pointers on what to wear while flying. Next is BARBARA KASTO, author and Pulit- zer-prize-winner for her book It's a Great Life if You Don't Weaken. Police-chief RICHARD COLE is coming in now! Being police-chief of New York City is no easy task, and to protect himself RICHARD has brought two body guards FRED BAIRD and DA- VID BALDWIN. Also in the party is Mayor HARRY SEIBERT from Conneaut, Ohio, who is another member of this famous class of 1958. Ocean swimmer VONNA THOMPSON steps into the camera range now. Recently VONNA swam from New York to London-nonstop, of course. When asked how she accomplished this feat, Vonna replied, I swam! Now some of my favorite people are coming through the door JANET HICKS, JUNE WAL- FORD, MARY BAIRD, and FRANCES RUDLER. They opened the Risky Restaurant on Fifth Ave- nue where the specialty is Big Girls, named after those famous Big Boy hamburgers of long ago. Cattle baron, DON HOGLE is taking his bow! DON with the help of his ranchhands DICK TOWNE, GEORGE WHITE, CHUCK LAIRD, and BILL CARLSON is still trying to make brown cows produce chocolate milk. And now, folks, I see it's nearly midnight, so raise your horns and welcome 1979 as we sing Old Lang Syne. That noise becomes deafening when one per- sistant ring penetrates my consciousness. It's my alarm clock! Ho, hum! Time to get up and leave my beautiful dream of the future. Today is grad- uation day and, though my classmates may never be famous in reality, in dreams they can reach the top. BARBARA PAULLIN
