PROPHECY FORMER WIDNEYITES HOLD REUNION The Royals, Class of Summer '56 held a Reunion last Sunday at the Beverly Hills home of Peter Markley. The former students traveled a total of 123,725,172 miles to ioin the Re- union, estimated Suzanne Schmid, Statistician. Unfortunately a few students were not able to attend. Leonor Garcia, Interpreter, planned to come, but had to work with the Spanish delegation at the United Nations Assembly. Vicky Garcia, the baby sitter who answered the 564,646,446-4.64 Question on Popular Music, found that her world tour took longer than she had expected and she will not be back for 3 weeks. John Reed who has been celebrated as the first amateur radio operator to establish communication with Mars, was able to make contact with them and both sent their best wishes. Mike Karanasos, Master of Ceremonies on the S64,646,464.64 Question said that Vicky wouldnth t'df hl ' ' o ave rue or t e ost question without the help of Loretta Hummell musician. As you all know, Vicky was asked to sing all four verses of Joseph Pomeroy and both ladies remembered it perfectly. incidentally, Loretta is quite a celebrity in her own right. When she began her own Television show and Confidential Magazine featured an article about her, Donald Bleich found that his sales had doubled at his magazine stand. llater Suzanne estimated that the gain had actually been 103.274 per cent.J About the only one who wasn't overioyed about Vicky's answering the S64,6-46,464.64 Question was Betty Caple, the show's sponsor. However, she says she can spare the money. As president of the Caple Capable Cosmetic Company, she owns the largest cosmetic industry in the world. Sheila Boland Pharmacist, reported that in her drug store more people buy Caple's Capable Cold Cream than all other brands ocmbined. lAfter investigating, Suzanne announced that the actual number of people was 527361 While Betty's cosmetic definitely have a high quality, credit must be given to Carl Richmond, Commercial Artist, whose clever advertisements h-ave helped increase her sales. 1727, stated Suzanne.i Just as the guest were getting ready for dinner, a bright round object appeared in the sky. Donald Bleich, who had been a member of the Ground Observer Corps, recognized it as a Flyin Saucer. SI l 't d d ' g owy I escen ed, landing on the front lawn and out stepped Flora Poynter, dazzling star of the Martian Pictures Association's movie, lnvaders From Earth, and her cameraman, Wesley O. Smith, Mr. Smith, a former teacher at Widney, became in- terested in motion pictures during his sabbatical leave in 1955. Also aboard the Saucer were Flora's seven children and Benena Black, their efficient nurse. A delicious dinner was then served. Not only did it taste wonderful but Janet R ber 1 Y Q, Dentist, said that it was one of the most nutritious meals she had ever eaten. fAnd she should know-all her children have beautiful teeth.i Suddenly as they were eating des- sert, a loud splash was heard from Peter's swimming pool. Everyone rushed out to see emerging from it another Flying Saucer. Out came a slightly shaken up Claron Earl, owner of the Silve D Fl ' S ' ' r ome ying aucer Fleet, and his secretary, Merry Lou Fellows. Claron explain- ed that he had been delayed with business and had been very worried about whether he would arrive on time. When he discovered that there were still helicopters parked around Peter's mansion, he became so excited that he didn't keep his mind on piloting and crashed into the pool. Merry Lou said that everthing was all right, but being a little old fashioned she preferred riding in helicopters. Everyone went back to dinner, but Sheila Boland recommend- ed that they'll take bicarbonate of soda. After dinner two speeches were made. The Widney Student Council, who came over with Widney's new principal, Betty Rivers, had been listening intently and wanted to give their opinions of the Class of S'56. Student Body President, Joseph Pomeroy, spoke of the accom- plishments of each Royal. His sister, Josephine, who is president of the Spacemen, graduat- ing class of '76, expressed the hope that her class could be as notable as the Royals. Feeling wiser, everyone happily went home-everyone except Claron, that is. His Flying Saucer fell into the swimming pool again!
