Class Prophecy... This November of 1956 I find myself reviewing my show with some pride. Here in the bock I find Chubby Thompson, the hunter of all times in charge of—you guessed it, the animals. Here also we find Joe Griner his friend and assistant. Well, what do you know, there's Buddy Bryant still handling the feeding facilities. Over near her elephant is lone Pridgeon, world famous for her ability to train these creatures. And here is Annie Jo Walker, the lion trainer in pink tights, a blue sweater, and knee boots. And what is this? Oh, yes, its Lawerance Rauletson in the monkey cage handing out peanuts to the monkeys for dessert. The peanuts were of course, toasted by Marie Brinson. Then I come out on the grounds. Here is a side show. Ladies and gentlemen, the world's most lattcoed woman, Leota Walker. Ring two out of three and take your choice of prizes, that's Gloria Poppell at the basketball shooting gallery. Right next door is the rifle range, Mabel Parker in charge, calm and peaceful as usual, with her face and hands greasy. Yes, what is this? Oh, the fire department with Genny D'Antcnio, Ruth Parker, Doris Bass, and Preston Sheffield, the flaming red heads of '46. Now what do you know? Here in these whoo-whoo costumes are Lydia and Mary Frances Hendry, those shimmering snake charmers. Oh, here we are in the looks department. Harry Massey, the photographer, is taking a picture of Curtis Simons while Clayton Swearingen holds the curtain so no one will know it was taken. Now for something unusual is Betty Lou Crouch, in her fast moving way, guarding the gate. She has on her customary uniform, a short blue skirt of shiny satin, a bright yellow jacket, a little red cap, and yessir, swinging a great big blackjack. On either side of her is Joyce Worley and Foyce Cruce taking up tickets. Well, what is this selling tickets? Oh, it is none other than that glamour girl of all glamour girls, Euna Coghlan. Hamburgers, hot dogs, soda pop. Yes, that is Tommy Swanson over at the hot deg stand. He sells them while Moude Rice does the cooking and slaughter work. Mary Frances Cone takes her place in seeing that the place is sanitary for the wellbeing of the people. Clarence Giddens assists her very well as janitor. Katie Whiddon with her natural wisdom of machinery keeps the place on the move with the help of Bernice Morrison. Music, music, and more. That is the band's motto. Music for fun and gaiety. Here is Thelma Dorman, band majorette,- Ralph Denmark on the bass horn,- Grady Burch, the drums, and Chalmus Holmes, the potato flute. Some class! Boy, is this exciting? Say, why are all those girls over there? Oh, now I see. It's Therion Tedder, that fire eater. He gets mere like Robert Taylor every day. Also in this show is Patsy Miller, the fat lady. Geraldine Knowles can be electrocuted and still live. Poor electric chair. And Elam Sapp, the skinny woman.
