Senior Prophecy Hi there, this is Bob Wersland your master of ceremonies welcoming you to the show It's a Great Life sponsored by Nolan Daley Vitamins. I am so glad to see all of our classmates back again for our reunion this June 10, 2005. On such an important occasion it is only right to introduce our Governor Russ Hanson. Who is that we see in the front row? It is none other than Gorgeous Dave Utter the wrestler. Next to him we see Gary Hodge the designer of the Supersonic 8 and his best salesman Don Matson. What is that strange noise we hear in the background? Why it's the MUSIC of Rocky Hill and his Pebbles; Rollie Brunsell, Roger Erdahl, Duane Hestnes, Bob Heydon, Sally Knudson, Dick Mullen, Mike Thomas and Bill Martin. They have a new member tonight, Howard Venden, the singing cowboy. As our spotlight is again turned to the audience we see Willy Rossman the coach of the McFarland Marvels and three of his stars, Carl Helgerson, Ronnie Nelson, and Arlo Bredeson who was recently acclaimed number one best dressed man. Who are those two fellows sleeping in the back seats? Oh! it's just John Holverson and Dick Kreuger sleeping as usual. No, it can't be--here comes Sure Shot Hough back from her hunting trip in Africa for four foot rabbits. Look at the guy with the test tubes in his pockets. It's Duck Halverson, recently returned to S. H. S. to become the chemistry teacher. Time out for the commercial and here comes our dancing girls--Donna Bruesagar, Karen Burchadean, Bev Severson, Jean Skojolaas, Thyra Pieper, and Lois Broughton. As the girls bunny hop off the stage, a new attraction comes into the spotlight. It is Poker Faced Oren the highest paid comedian. After he has performed for only a few minutes, his manager Eddy Seils will hurry him off the stage to collect his ten percent. This is really impossible--but here is Dick Gjermo, the flag pole sitter, who has come down for the occasion. All of a sudden the entrance doors fly open and who do we see but Larry Lynch--late as usual. As I wander through the audience, I see Dale Bostrack, owner of the HER-KIE FUDGE CANDY COMPANY. Over there we see Bob Larson who is now a radar specialist on jet planes and his crew of service men, Marvin Gjertson, Micky Johnson, Dave Christenson, and Dave Munson. Now we see another sight it is Joan Olson bouncing her basketball down the aisle. We are now ready for another performance and as our spotlight centers on the stage we see Pat Horton and her ballet troupe consisting of--Margaret Helgerson, Kathryn Evenson, Pat Farr and Joan Lund. Again we come to the commercial for this program. At this time samples of our Daley Vitamins will be given you by the Happy Healthy Hostesses--Pat Slater, Audrey Lundeberg, Jane Gibbon, Janice Hill, Ellen Kane and Terry Ball-weg. That strange sound that you now hear is Bessie Paulson demonstrating the whistle she patented, called the Bessie Giggle. Now we will have a few words from the next Democratic nominee for the presidency--Berniece Reierson, who is accompanied by the candidate for vice-president, Lois Weston. Norbert Prein, who pole vaulted 90 feet on the moon, has just fainted due to the low altitude. Barbara Olson, LaVon Lockwood, and Lorraine Arneson and 24

Virginia Schaefer registered nurses, rush in with their bottle----of smelling salts and revive him. For your entertainment we will now have a fashion show with world famous models, Margit Smedal, Janet Johnson and Sonia Ortman. All you lovely ladies can have figures like these if you go to Madame Georgia Wene's Reducing Salon, where Jim Quam the zoo keeper takes his pet elephant. Will the four ladies, Rose Ann Fitzgerald, Delores Kleven, Wanda Rudd, Arlene Pickerts, please remove their rings for the flashes are hindering T. V. reception. Don Peterson who recently bought out Arthur Murray, and his two assistants, Nancy Nelson and Sylvia Felland developed a new type of old-time dance, called a mambo. Lloyd Rowley, famous engineer, who dug a hole to China to see Mary Peterson, a teacher of Chinese music, is now trying to buy out half-interest in Francis Hammen's patent on the wheel. Francis is sponsored by Barry Beske, the universe's first quatramillionaire. Having parked their tractors out in front, Paul Nelson, John Gerber, Wayne Maertz, Harry Reese, Arne Sime, Darrell Hauge, and Gerald Graffin, co-inventors of the elevated farming system where you plant on both sides of the ground, have arrived. Having arrived to give a short talk on Marsmatics are Emily Johnson, Carol Everson, and Gail Greig, teachers of the primitive Martians. Also along for the trip are Ruth Jacobson and Carol Ast. Librarians on Mars. Two teeth-pickers, Sylvia Dahl and Mary Lou Kirby, have arrived in their flying dentis chairs to give us instructions on how to prepare false teeth that don't come out at night. Already a line is being formed to get these new teeth. They are Grant Schroeder, Chuck Moe, Deretta Streeter and John Ed Porter. Flash! Marv Johnson has a special announcement. Detective's Irv McLeod and Mike Fitzgerald have just raided the Club Kegonsa, owned by Dave Bjerke and Sam Moe. You can read all about it in the Nosey News morning edition, coedited by Carman Haley and Karen Cook. Squealing up to the curb in their hotrods are Charlene Weum, Marlene Holtan and Mayre Lou Thorson, famous stock car drivers who just came from the Mexican Road Race. Judges for the Mexican Road Race were Howard Skjolaas and Tom Asleson. Tonight we reserved a whole section of seats for Re Rideout and her F. E. S. P. K.'s. We notice that her litter has increased considerably since 55 . Richard Quale phoned in to say that he is watching the program on the floor to ceiling T. V. set that he recently developed. We'd like to give an acknowledgement to Florence Maly and Shirley Brandt who prepared the script on their electronic, 1,000 word-a-minute typewriters. This is station S. H. S. T. V. signing off, having brought you wonderful glimpses of the class of 55 . 25 Sylvia Dahl Mary Lou Kirby Russ HanSon
