CLASS PROPHECY This is SUSAN PERSONS, your on-the-spot reporter from St. Augustine, bringing to you one of the finest programs ever presented, The 1981 Saint Joseph Academy Alum- ni Talent Show. My committee and I thought it would be a good idea to have a Class Re- union in this manner. It has been ten years since we parted at Graduation, to be exact, May 30, 1971 , and it seems only yesterday. As we walk up the steps and into the lobby of our Alma Mater, many memories return. We are greeted by two familiar faces, BABBY McGRATH and KAREN USINA, always on hand to make you feel at home! They are serving refreshments. Does that cake look great, some exclaim. Who made it? I did, says KAREN. KAREN will always be remembered for her delicious cakes, and BABBY for her cream sodas. They were the best in town. In recent years, BABBY has become known as The world ' s richest woman. Undoubtedly, it is the result of her extensive holdings in Stan- dard Printing, Inc. Lovely MARGIE JOKERST and STEPHANIE VAN FORTNER are just arriving. I hear that MARGIE is working on the SPACE program. She always had her head in the clouds! STEPHANIE gives lessons in music and in The Art of Speaking, at the Hastings University. Tonight, these two girls are performing their Vz vulture, l A walrus act. If you haven ' t heard of the Famous Far Out Four, you will now! They consist of CHERYL BEE SON ELLEN SCHRECK, FRANCES BEALL, and PAT SHEELEY. M issjSEESON p resently teaches music appreciation at St. Joe; Miss SCHRECK is still the Hostess with the Mostest at the Santa Maria Restaurant; Miss BEALL is teaching En- glish at GWTW University located at Tenth and Decatur, Atlanta; and Miss SHELLEY is presently starring in that off Broadway Production, Granny, Get Your Gun. EDDIE HONIKER and STUART HARROLD, run the Mouth of the South GABBY Radio Station. They are going to do their ever popular Benzinni Brothers Routine for us. AL CRUTCHFIELD and MIKE ROBSHAW have just arrived from California (just one of their many diversified trips). DAVID CARTER, on his way here, had a bit of a scrape. It seems that someone tried to steal his truck. This time, he was still in it. He handled that situation very well! Some of our former instructors traveled from far and near to be with us tonight. Many wives, husbands, and children of the class are here, too. What a gathering! Arriving from New York, where he has taken off time from his busy schedule managing his own chain of Castilian Beauty Salons and Holiday Inns, is JIMMY BYLES. He is still wearing that grin. We recently heard that JIMMY bought out the entire Clairol Com- pany. Yes, says JIMMY, and soon we ' ll have a whole new line of hair lighteners on the market. We call them ' Liquid Sunshine ' ! The Master of Ceremonies, or should I say Mistress, is KAREN GOODE. She has a fine boutique shop in St. Augustine. Working with her is KATHY GUIDI, who designs beautiful acetate smoking jackets. The Man of the Hour, Bakersville ' s own and most valuable, JAMES RUSSELL (Mr. America, 1980) COLEE is accompanied by DR. WILLIAM HUBBARD, S.N.A.G. The Doctor has just returned from an International Physics Conference held in Belgium. He comments, Physics is just a relaxing hobby with me; actually my real occupation is psychology in which I endeavor to explore the analytical mind of those less fortunate than me, that is, those that ain ' t geniuses.

DENISE PACETTI is the President of the PACETTI ' S DOWN ' S, Miami, Florida, opened and operated since ' 71. Nipper is still going strong, even if he has one wooden leg. All the children ride him— free! The bouncer for the evening is coming up the aisle, DR. KATHY KISTLER. She is wearing an attractive white muslin pants suit, trimmed in black satin, with a black satin belt to match. DR. KISTLER tells us she is practicing in Oxford, Ohio, where the action is. We are very pleased to have the owner of the Zorado Castle, YVONNE PIERRE, here with us tonight. YVONNE has been very successful— tourists still find this Castle educa- tional and interesting, even if they do have to strain their ears a bit. TWILA FLEMING, alias Arethea and Soul Sister Number One, has just hit tops with her recording of, I Found Love On A One-Way Street. TWILA sings at the H.S.M. Re- cording Studios where ADELE McLAUGHLIN is owner and producer. Both have made the trip in their Rolls Royce all the way from the City Gates. MARION (Hopalong) WILLIAMS, on crutches again, just entered. What happened this time, MARION? I had just recuperated from a sprained ankle . . . then ... I fell down the stairs and broke my leg. MARION is coach of the basketball team at St. Joe; occasionally, he sings at the H.S.M. His latest recording is, Ouch, I Did It Again! We are honored with the presence of the Mayor of the Town, WILLIAM (BILLY) CREECH. He has turned a little gray at the temples but is still dignified and smiling as ever. The Mayor was our Class Treasurer that last year at St. Joe, and he certainly knew how to climb the ladder. (We found absolutely nothing in the Treasury after he graduated. I wonder if . . .) There is a noise of voices outside. A crowd is gathering. They ' re coming closer to the entrance. People are stepping aside. Why, it is the President of the United States, DWAYNE TULLY! I wondered if he would be able to make it this evening! Hail to The Chief is being played by BABBY McGRATH as he walks up the aisle with his bodyguards, the Daring-Due, JOHN L. COLEE and DOUG GRISSOM. DWAYNE al- ways had his hands in something— if it wasn ' t the National Honor Society, the typewriters getting out letters for Career Day, etc., or Drama, it was KAREN ' s CAKES and BABBY ' s cream sodas. JOHN L. states that in the near future he will be heading for the Olympics as the reigning tennis champion of the United States, and DOUG, whose back is insured by Lloyd ' s of London, because it is the world ' s most valuable back, states that he will be on the United States Olympic Sleeping Team— soon! FILOMENA CAPPARELLI and PEGGY BEACH, Business Manager and Partner of this Production tonight, walks over to the President, hands him important documents (which they documented), and are telling him something. All eyes are on him as he opens the large, brown envelope. He looks it over. He smiles and stands. All voices are hushed. He walks up to the stage and seats himself beside BABBY at teh piano. They are saying something about the papers. He places them at the piano and they begin to play a duet, GRANADA. We haven ' t heard them play like that since our last year at St. Joe! Each alumnus took part in this Class Reunion Talent Show. What a show! One we will never forget. We are all very happy that all could be present tonight and are a little sadden- ed to part; and as we do, thirty-one strong sing the grand finale, Those Were The Days. Again, I repeat, what a show!
