TWENTY YEARS LATER By the Class of ’56” Hello, everyone. This is station WHSQ-TV, located on the 10th floor of Whitecottons Hard- ward in Waveland, Indiana. Tonight we are bringing you a special television program, pre- senting the reunion of the Waveland graduating class of 1955. All the events from their gradu- ating days up to the present year of 1975 will be reviewed. The reunion dinner is being served tonight by compliments of Kellv’s restaurant. The meal was cooked by the great chef himself, Melvin Kelley, an ex-general in the army. The first year after graduation was a great year for Shirley Wasson. A rich uncle willed her a fortune. She invested a small amount of money in a $50,000 pushbutton house, which was the first one to be built in Waveland. Since then she has had 19 houses (one for each year). In 1957, Angus Smith took over the half-hour television program left vacant by Libcrace’s retirement. Angus plays the piano beautifully and takes his daily trip to his hairdresser. Jim Mitchell was crowned “Mr. Corn King” in 1958. He won this honor by growing an ear of corn 3 feet 2 i inches long, which was a new world record. Television received its greatest reward in 1959 when Joan Hodgkin started playing the leading role in Don Porter’s show “Private Sec- retary”. She was always good at typing and dictation in high school. Linda Weatherman, a retail buyer in Marshall Fields’ Department Store, has ordered several selections of Dior’s fashions for Harriett Mason to model. Harriet was voted Miss Rhinegold for 1960. In 1961. Janice French started her teaching career at Waveland High School. She took Mr. Hall’s place as history teacher. Her students say she can recite the whole history book from memory. Evelyn Hastings became a district co-ordin- ator of public relations of Congressional District 7, State of Indiana, in 1961. She is a socialite in the Bal Hinch community. Martha Brown, in 1962. started missionary work with her husband in the Belgian Congo. Since she started work in the Congo she has found a new hobby of hunting elephants. She now holds the world’s record for killing the largest elephant with a bow and arrow. A successful horse ranch owner by 1963, Elizabeth Atkison had the largest horse ranch in the United States, which is located in Flat Rock, Wyoming. Every day you can see her out riding her prize-winning palomino. Norma Newell won a prize for the number one housewife in America in 1904. I guess Mrs. Good should get a lot of credit for Norma’s success. Later in 1964, Joe Hodgkin became noted in Europe for designing a new make of foreign car. The new car is 36 inches high and 40 inches long and made completely of rubber. Mr. Huntsman's Waveland Hornets became Pago 16
