CLASS PROPHECY IMON- This is station W.O.R. in New York City bringing you a play by play description of the first game of a double header in the 1959 World Series between the New York Yankees and the West Carroll- ton Pirates. The first game is being played at the Yankee Stadium. In case you did not listen to the broadcast yesterday my assistant Tink Jonas will give you the results of the game between the West Carrollton Pirates and the Miamisburg Vikings. JONAS- Good afternoon, baseball fans. Yesterday's game played here at the Yankee Stadium was quite a push over for the West Carrollton Pirates. The score of the game was West Carrollton -- 9, Miamisburg Vikings- 1. Turning you back to the description of the game, l remain your sports announcer, Tink Jonas. SIMON- A tremendous cry just arose from the grand stand as Babe Knight takes his position in the pitcher's box.

If so take a tip from me, and run down to your nearest Schell's Cafe and get a box of B-Dills' Pills. SIMON- This has been quite a ball game so far. At the end of the fifth inning the West Carrollton Pirates are behind by a score of 6-0. The Pirates are now coming up to bat. Just a minute! What's all the commotion? Pitcher Knight's wife has just entered the stadium. Mrs. Knight, the former Miss Marilyn Johnson, has been elected the World Series Queen and will be crowned after the game. Now to get back to the game. The West Carrollton Pirates are now trailing by a score of 7-6. The bases are loaded as Throck has 2 strikes and 3 balls against him. Here comes the pitch. The crowd goes wild. lt's a home run! The final score is I0-7 in favor of the West Carrollton Pirates. In a brief moment we shall give you all the details of the crowning of the 1959 World Series Queen. JONAS- The West Carrollton band is now approaching the center of the field. The crowd stands up and cheers as the head drum major, Paul Mahaffey, struts down the field. When the band is in the center of the field, it comes to a halt, and Miss Nancy Graham, standing in the center of the field, sings the National Anthem. The queen is now being brought upon the field in one of the new 1959 Stockert Convertibles. The photographers, Miss Phyllis Rose and Miss Naomi Wood, who are very prominent in the sports field are taking photos of the queen. The queen's court is made up of Mrs. Jack Combs, the former Ramona Shell, Miss Sonya Weishampel, Miss Doris Tut- tle, Miss Grace Rosenberger and Miss Joyce Coder. The manager of the West Carrollton Pirates team, Mr. Dickie Lee Root, is now com- ing on the field to place the crown on the queen. SIMON- Ladies and gentlemen, it seems as though we have a great celebrity in the crowd today. As I was making my way through the crowd to the refreshment stand whom should I meet but Thomas Earl Bond, the All-American left half-back of North Carolina University. After chatting with Mr. Bond for a few minutes I arrived at the refreshment stand and whom should I find hustling about selling hot dogs but Mr. and Mrs. Dale Parlett. Mrs. Parlett is the former Ann Wood. On my way back to the broadcasting booth I was nearly knocked down by a careless employee of the stadium who was slowly ambling over the stadium picking up papers. When I looked into his face I found it was none other than Mr. Charles Dorsey. Now that I have arrived at the broadcast- ing booth the second game is getting under way. This game is between the Moraine City Wildcats and the Newtown Runts. Officiating this game are Hamilton at first base, Bowie at third, and Sheppard at home plate. As the Moraine City Wildcats take their positions on the field a small child follows the pitcher out onto the field. It seems as though the child is the pitcher's son, Bernard Recher, Jr., the son of Mrs. Recher, the former Mary Payne. The first up to bat on the Newtown Runts is Pauline Howerton, the girl wonder of the Baseball World. Now that the game is over and the Moraine City Wildcats have won 3-I the people are crowd- ing to the betting window. Maryanne Grant is bustling around behind the window paying off the customers. Mr. James Greene, the multi- millionaire, and his cousin, Charlotte Greene, have cleared about 31,700,000 in today's game. As I was making my way out of the stadium I saw Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Chambers and their triplets hurrying home to attend to their farm chores. Mrs. Clarence Chambers is the former Harriet Enyart. In front of the stadium I hailed a taxi to take me back to the radio station and the taxi driver was my old classmate Jack Combs. Any similarity of characters on this pro- gram to actual persons is purely intentional. JEANETTE JoNAs PAT SIMON
