611-M Wfl0Ph-'U1'4- Here's Norman Piercy, the class wit, who is still shocking his employers. He is an elec- trical engineer. Next around our banquet table is our tallest member, John Riddle, who is now a promi- nent fruit-growing expert in Southern Illinois. He invites us all to visit his expansive orchard tomorrow and he says he'll treat us all to peaches. He isn't referring to his wife. CThat's his pet nickname for her.j She used to be Katherine Kurtz. Now, let's go in imagination to a large metropolis, the burglar alarm soundsg instantly, like a flash, something dashes by. The crime is solved. Sherlock Sherman has added another victory to his long list of fights against crime. Yes, it's Floyd, and don't look so modest, Floyd. We think you're wonderful. Next is Esther Owens-Knox, who owns and personally directs the most exclusive fash- ion salon in New York City. She is a world-famous style authority known as Lady Esther. Her husband, Gleason, teaches boxing in his own private school. His twin boys, Russell and Muscle, are his most apt pupils. Here's the biggest surprise of the evening. Meet Rev. Billie Owens, Pastor of the Evan- gelical Church in Los Angeles. Congratulations, to you, Billie, on the marvelous success you have had in your profession. And here's that stately blonde whom we used to know as Wilma Hoeinghaus. Well, she has shortened her name to House and she is secretary for her hsuband, Gene, who owns a large ranch in Utah. , Here's Faye Hogshead, who is just as demure and blonde as she was in 1946. Hers is the perfect marriage , she says, and she lives in a veritable paradise with her husband. They are joint owners of a doll shop in Chicago. The model which her husband most admires is a Dresden figurine of Faye, a miniature of which he is wearing on his lapel. Next, I wish I could describe the beauty for you of a mansion in Wyoming. Back of the mansion are hills and hills of moving white things-goats, the finest goats in the world, and they all belong to Donald Loyd. Louis Phelps, one of our most versatile athletes, is now known as Uncle Dick to his juvenile radio audience. You may hear him telling bedtime stories over WGN every evening at 9:15. Violet Jones teaches physical culture by correspondence. Her fame as a strong wo- man is widely known. In her most recent publicity stunt, she lifted the rear end of a street car and put it back on the track. Ann Fantz has gained fame in the professional world as a singer with Gene Braddy's orchestra. Incidentally, Gene was chosen King of Swing in 1955. Wilma Flanagan, who has become an expert in home economics, has her own radio pro- gram daily over WMAQ, but she also finds time to make a home for LeRoy and the two little Downes, Terry Lee and Jerry Roy. As a closing note we must remind you not to take your apparent success or failure too seriously because we cannot guarantee our infallibility. We would ordinarily assure you that we are absolutely correct, but since our late quarrel with Hecate, the Goddess of Witchcraft, our soothsaylng has not been up to its usual standard. Page 11
