(?la4A PtafeAeccf Radio Station S. H. S. Broadcasting B. K. and B. S. Announcing In reply to a request made by President of the United States, A. J. Thomas, once advisor of this class of '51, we have found the following information concerning the members of the 1951 Sheridan High School Senior Class. We are pleased to state that: The most daring president a class ever had is now getting his '35 green Ford in shape for the race of the year--the Indianapolis five-hundred-miles speedway classic. Freddie Braach says that his Ford can do anything (when it is running). After searching world wide for a trace of Ruth Mantha we discovered her right in her home town, happily married to Ed McRea, sole owner of the Savings Center Super Market. In her spare time Ruth keeps books and takes care of the money. She got her first experience in this sort of work as secretary-treasurer of this great class. Ernie Bock, the boy with the laugh, is now in South Africa acting as a medicine man to rid the natives of their ills. He went to Africa after being exiled from the United States for making a defernal machine , which blew up the white house. Miss Phyllis Babcock the famous heiress and newly elected best dressed woman in the world, had made her fortune. She married for money instead of love and is now making two mil- lion dollars annually on alimony. Instead of taking all the pictures Garry Preston decided it would be nicer to be in them. Being quite the commedian he decided to try for a role in Hollywood; however, MGM thought he would make a better lover. You will soon see him star in The Passionate Rat. We found Helen Mayo on Mockingbird Hill plowing with a three corner plow and a mule that she bought with a ten dollar bill. She plows real deep and her rates are cheap. Bob Sprague is president of Vassar College, exclusively for girls. They are afraid they will have to dismiss him from this position because all the girls go around in a daze. My suchaman! During the summer he gives tours through the states and plays the roles of the famous bard, Shakespeare. Mary Lou Marsh took over the work of her retired uncle and is now the one and only under- taker in Sheridan. Her work has proved quite interesting but business is kinda dead . In her spare time she cares for her seven children and plays the tuba. She and her family have a band which plays at all funerals. They can really jazz the funeral march. Paul Moore, the fames scientist, is on the planet, Venus. He built a rocket ship and is studying the metals on the land of Venus; now he doesn't know how to get back to America. He is getting very lonesome because the little green gremlins will not laugh at his so called jokes. Joanne Reeves has taken up an old but different profession. Because of the modern met- hods of transportation her business does not thrive as it once did. She is the first woman blacksmith Alder ever had. If any old plugs need sparked up see Joanne. On the way home from Korea, Bill Steiner was shipwrecked and after sixty days adrift at sea without food and water, he drifted to the island of Evol. Now he is king of the island and spends his time lying on the beach with beautiful native girls waiting on him. Going over bumpy roads (?) mountains, and streams, we found Bonnie Kelly in the Cen- tennial Valley herding her flock of sheep. When a young girl she gave up men as a bad job and desired the peace and quiet of the hills. She had grown to love the sheep but still isn’t satisfied. Lee Spuhler is still working on the forest. He has established a little town in Idaho at the forest line and he has named it Muskrat Ramble . He is mayor, chief-of-police, and owns all the businesses in that town including the Green Bubble. However, he is the only inhabit- ant. Mary Jane Eby, the cute blonde in the class, is now a hard boiled sergeant in the WACS. She is up and out on the job early in the morning. During the first few years of her army career she was known as the best potato peeler in the platoon. Now she tells the others how it is done.
