The famous Vulgamore Shopping Center was owned by KITTIO VULGAMORE. One of the larger shops was a music shop owned by MARJORIE SAUTTER and JOHN SCRIBNER. ROBERT WOODS, noted contractor, was sampling a new record. Another shop in the shopping center was a dress shop owned by LA DONNA CASHMAN. Her famous models are MELINDA FISH and LOUANNE CHRISHMAN. Some of La Donna's most steady customers were there, such as MARILYN ALLEN, noted social worker; MARY LOUISE COOKE, famous congresswoman; and MARY ANN BLAND, well-known actress. There was also an insurance company owned by LEO CONK-EL. At the far end of the shopping center was a small art store run by CAROL WELLS, LOUISE SNIVELY, and HAZEL STULLEY. The next scene was in a crowded barber shop under the management of JIM CUCKLER and LARRY EVANS. In the barber chair at this moment was the well-known Naval Officer on leave, DENNIS NEUFARTH, getting a haircut and shave. The person working on him was FRED NEWBY. Coming into the shop was the brilliant scientist JOHN SKINNER, stopping in between lectures. Across the street from this barber shop was the electrical store owned by BOB McCONK-EY. The store wasn't electrical; they just sell electrical products. The PATTY SIMONTON Experimental Laboratory came into view next, where experiments are made on all the products advertised on T.V. JIM TRACHSEL was at that time trying to find out where the yellow went. LLOYD JACKSON, world-famous producer, was trying to sign up Mr. Clean as Yul Brynner's stunt man. Big Bear was the next thing to come into sight. This particular Big Bear Store was located in California. DALE COMPLIMENT had worked himself up to manager. The next scene was a huge oil field. It had two owners, RONALD and DONALD PUCKETT. The experienced truck drivers for the Pucketts were JOHN O'HALLORAN, ROGER ROBINSON, JACK HENKEL, and JAMES HEIBEL. Before these truck drivers could leave to do their job, they stopped to have a hearty meal at the road-side restaurant owned and operated by VIRGINIA RADABAUGH. IRENE SHELPMEN, RUTH DYKE, and LINDA WARD. Cab drivers JAMES ISOM, ESTEL JAMES, and WILLIAM LEFFLER, also stopped for a bite to eat. The next scene to come into sight was a beach on the Atlantic Coast. The life guard on duty was BILL OVERMAN. He had just relieved EDWARD STUCK, who had been on duty all day. There were two people teaching swimming lessons. They were LINDA EVANS and MARJORIE WISE. Suddenly the crystal ball became all dark and gloomy looking. I thought that someone must be going to have an awfully dreary life; but when Madame Leene held out her hand for her $5 fee, I knew that must be the end. Dam it! - 23 -

PROPHECY As I was walking down the Midway of the local carnival just after school graduation, I noticed a large sign advertising the skills of Madame Leene, the fortune teller. I decided to visit her to find out whether she could tell me of the future of my former classmates. Upon talking with her, I found that she would be able to do this for me. Madame Leene slowly performed all the little gestures and sayings that went with the actual story-telling. After all of the spells were set, she began to get the picture from her crystal ball. First thing to come into focus in the crystal ball was the scene of a wrestling ring. A ladies' tag-team match was about to start in which CRISSIE WORK, KATY WICKLINE, PHYLLIS BOGGS, and FLORINE MURRAY were the wrestlers. The referee for this glorious event was PHIL COLLINS. At ringside sat TOM Killer CRAIN, famous king of the mat. As the view of the wrestling arena faded away, Las Vegas came into sight, There the famous $ Restaurant was seen, owned by the notorious gangster gentlemen, MIKE MEEKER, RICHARD BURKITT, and DON MALOY. Inside the restaurant we saw the famous night club entertainer, MERRY DAWN Bloomer ODLE. Running around among the tables were the cigarette girls BECKY PATRICK, DONNA CRIST, and LORA SHEETS. Now Madame Leene related what she could see at the scene of the JOHN ROUFF Hospital. Up in room 2304 was BUD EYLAR, who had accidentally broken his leg while playing basketball for the University of Cincinnati. The nurses taking care of Bud were SUSIE PATTERSON, DONNA STREITENBERGER, and GENEVA SEELING. As the scene faded, it seemed to be time for Bud's bath, and I hope that the girls had good luck. The next scene was of a steam room where JOHN JONES, President of the Jones Bubble Gum Factory (Squish! Squish!) was taking a steam bath to lose his excess weight. He was reading a copy of Mad Magazine. As he opened the magazine to the first page, there was an editorial by TOM OYER. A few pages later, there was a story about STEVE SULLIVAN'S taking over Michelangelo's job of painting on the ceiling. Next was a view of a T.V, studio where the program Broken Arrow was being given. The new Cochise was RONNIE ANSARA. His pale face blood-brother was DAVE PALMER. By the way, JOE CHATTIN owns the arms that break the arrow. Cameramen on duty were DANIEL BELLAW, ELMER THOMPSON, and ROGER BENNETT. On a remote radio broadcast from the local drag-strip, LARRY BARKER was the announcer of the day’s timings. Some of the top drivers were TERRY TAYLOR, JAKE DYKE, ROGER CUCKLER, and SAM BUCY. The co-owner of the strip was PATTY KEMPER. The drivers always fill up with gas at LARRY ACORD and COKE FYFFE'S gas station. Madame Leene then showed me the scene of an immense pencil factory. The well-known owner (well-known to school kids) was ZUELLA COLEGROVE. Her right-hand helper was MARGARET BURDETT, who makes sure the erasers are on tight. The next scene was in the office of playboy executive SWANSON MOUNTS. Around his desk were his secretaries JO HICKMAN, LINDA MURRAY, SHELBY LEETH, and MARTHA KUHNER. He must have plenty of business to have all those secretaries! - 22 -
