Glass Prooli ropnecij Here it is 1976, and as the nation celebrates its second century of success, we wonder what ever became of our old school mates of the class of '52, Valley High, and how large a part they played in that success. Tch, tch. They say such reminiscence is a sign of getting old. We certainly don't want that, so let's turn on the T.V. set for a news broadcast and confront ourselves with present-day affairs and problems. The very first thing we hear is the name of one of our classmates, Eldon Wilson, who has been promoted to the position of 1st vice- president of the T.V. network to which we are listening. Eldon is a news-cast specialist and has done great work in bringing the cor- poration's news-casts to be the best in the world. Nice going, Eldon. Now we have the commercial before the newscast. Well, heavenly days, look who sponsors this program. The Howard Roberts' reducing salon, with Turkish baths in New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco. We would certainly like to see Howard now. Do you suppose he started the business for his own convenience? Now for some news. Goodness, that an- nouncer looks familiar. Well, no wonder, it's Jim Keefauver, who claims that he is a regu- lar patron of Howard's Turkish baths. Jim still has that familiar grin, almost like you could reach out and shake hands with him. First off on the news today we see that Virginia Peterson, personal secretary to Jack Martin, who is president of the Bank of America, has announced that the bank will for- ward a $2 billion loan to England. Ah yes, it looks like England is still expecting. Senator Marvin White announces that Congress has passed a bill permitting the con- struction of a dam on Spoon River between Maquon and London Mills, Illinois, and that the contract for building the dam has been granted to the Rock Construction Co., the largest construction company in Illinois, and owned and operated by our old pal, BILL Rock. Donald Sheckler, national president of the Farm Bureau, predicts a bumper crop of corn this year. Donald was a little corny at school sometimes, too. John Dallefeld, the famous stock broker and economist, predicts a slight raise in the stock market for the summer months. Lawanda Thurman, nurse for a famous dentist in Chicago, announces the invention of a painless, noiseless dentist’s drill. Ah yes, the world has been needing those for a long time. Marjorie Cannon, the famous botanist and president of the London Mills Orchards, Inc., claims that she has discovered a new fruit. It is a cross between peach, apple, pear, apricot and cherry. She has decided to call it the ''papae.” Nancy Masterson, the famous woman de- tective and crime expert, says that she has found a new method of criminal identification and is using it to track down the famous armed car robbers of 1949- They may get that case solved some of these days. Nancy Lindstrom, owner of the world's largest balloon factory, has discovered a new puncture proof balloon. It seems Nancy worked her way up from the bottom; she was a balloon tester when she started. We knew she could make good use of all that wind. Jim is signing off now. He gives way to the news of the world of sports, brought to us by none other than Firmon Melton, the modern-day Bill Stern. He opens the broadcast with the finals in the World Ping Pong championship matches and we hear that Ivan Combs has copped the title. Great work, Ivan. Mr. Pogue always predicted a brilliant ping pong future for you. Walter Platt and Charles Halsey, test drivers for Ford Motor Co., were the winners of the Indianapolis Speedway races with a car they designed themselves. I'll bet they never 11
