CUSS PROPHECY The program that you are about to see is the tenth annual reunion of the 1954 graduates of Tappahannock High School being held in the very beautiful Warrior Ballroom at Tappa- hannock, Virginia. We will describe the graduates for you as they enter for it is very doubtful if you would recognize many of them. The ballroom tonight, is decorated very beautifully in the class colors of purple and white. We see the first guest arriving. Let ' s see if we recognize her. Yes, it ' s the country ' s greatest woman politician, PHYLLIS WINDER, arriving early so that she can meet every one at the door and remind them to vote for her in the coming election. Entering now is RICHARD BROOKS who is manager of the Pea Ridge Construction Company. With him we see JOE RYLAND MITCHELL, owner of the Mitch-O-Ranch-O at Upright who owns 5 new blue Dodges. Also in this party is GOULDIE HAYES who is manager of the Rexbury branch of the Standard Oil Company but still rides in JOE ' S Dodges for free. If your picture is not clear at this time, do not call this station. It is only FRANK SMITH who is flying in from Chicago where he attended the National Rabbit Breeders Con- ference. We see ROBERT CROXTON arriving from Florida where he has been basking in the sun and still trying to make a hit with the girls. JOYCE SHAUER, the first woman clerk of Essex County enters followed by MARY JANE PRILLAMAN, BETTY ANN BRIZENDINE, and ANNE LOUIS OWENS, all teaching at the Howerton ' s School for Dignified People. MARY JANE teaches dancing, BETTY ANNE teaches singing and ANNE LOUIS teaches How to hold a boy friend. That celebrity--Oh ! that ' s JEAN UEBELE who has been featured at the Stork Club as the world ' s outstanding Rhumba dancer. There ' s ANN HILLYER— remember how she wanted to teach Home Ec. ? Well, now she ' s assistant professor of food preparation at Madison. She ' s really made a name for herself with her Salad hodge-podge . Mink coat, diamonds, that can ' t be THELMA CHENAULT. How ? Oh, you said she hadn ' t been interested in either of her 20 jobs since high school, so she married an old millionaire. Isn ' t that just like Thelma? That ' s not one of THELMA ' S diamonds flashing now, it is MARY SMITH MOORE ' S Ipana smile, which she has been using to make her for- tune on TV. My, who is this stylish looking person coming in now- -it ' s BETTY BARBOUR who is a dress designed in New York. With BETTY is her old friend ( ?) ANNE TAYLOR who is happily married to a VPI graduate and is secretary to the President of Radford College. We have just received a telegram from MARJORIE CARTER, leader of the Pea Ridge Debating Society, who is touring Europe. It seems MARJORIE got involved in an argument with a French model and couldn ' t stop in time to attend the celebration. The subject of the argument--American Men vs. French Men. Now entering is DOROTHY DAVIS who is working ( ? ?) and is happily married to ( ? ?). Just in view of the camera is DOLLY MAE BROOKS who is an X-Ray Technician at the Warrior Memorial Hospital in Tappahannock. . DOLLY says she still likes to ride in blue Dodges. Now you see the distinguished gentlemen CLYDE JONES who has made a fortune selling Old Age Insurance to T. H. S. Teachers. We shall conclude our program with a word from our sponsor, Akers Wildroot Cream Oil, invented by ROBERT AKERS, another one of our THS graduates of 1954. - 13 -
