Class Prophecy of 1953 Good evening, folks, this is Terry Evans, your YVXYZ-TV news reporter. Ah, there’s good news tonight (or is it bad news?)! But first, before we look into this evening’s news, a word from our sponsor.

And now on with the news: From New York: We have just received announcement of the engagement of Shirley Woodcock, head nurse at Nleadowfield Hospital, to Dr. Fixup, topnotch surgeon. I hear she had to give up her part time job as head demonstrator at the Hula-Hula Skirt Shop, but I guess it was worth it. From Washington: Leonard Sewell’s expedition to climb Mt.

Mary Overpeck, former Waveland teacher, was captured in the raid, because she caught her foot in the roulette wheel while trying to get away.

The reason given is that too many of the family are getting involved. His first four sons are in for murder of the other eight kids.

(They have just played one in the past year.) From New York: We have just received news that Web Eubank, former janitor of Waveland High School, is now head janitor of the Empire State Building.

Dean Sowers, former Waveland student, is entering his champion black Angus, Flying Maggie, in this year’s Kentucky Derby. Dean is pretty sure to win because he has hired himself as jockey. WHAT NEXT!!! From Culver Hospital: Ed Iloffhaus, retired math teacher, is in room 1213 with minor injuries. It seems he was studying t x many angles to suit Lucille. Or was it curves, Ed?
