2. HORNETMAN 2000 SCRIPT. As promised some time ago, I am happy to be able to reprint below the absolutely hilarious script for the Hornetman 2000" radio serial written by Dan Bayne (71) and presented by Dans troupe of radio thespians at the All Classes Reunion on 6/24/00. Hearing this presentation sure brought back many warm, high school-era memories of Mr. Coluzzi, Mrs. Johnson, Gerald Pickeral (who attended the event), Glendal Jenkins, Ellen Talbert-Miller (who attended the event), and the many other conventional and quirky characters featured in that extraordinary and much-loved P.A. radio serial from the late 60s and early 70s. (Of course, you had to be there.) Kudos to Dan and his talented troupe!

3. DONT MISS THE OSCARS! I am extremely thrilled to report that Marcia Gay Harden (76), has been nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her work in the film Pollock. (Youll note that only she and Ed Harris get billing in the prominent newspaper ads for the film.) You can see some photos of Marcia at http://us.imdb.com/PGallery?0001315&source=granitz. Congratulations, Marcia, and good luck!

4. SEARCH ASSISTANCE REQUEST. Amy Martin, AMartin@shsny.com, is trying to locate Cynthia Louise Robinson (80), and she asks that you please contact her if you have any information that might help her.

5. CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations to Tony Antonioli, son of Vince Antonioli (69) and Terry Zinneman Antonioli (70), who just won the State Championship at 160 pounds in the private school State Wrestling Tournament! This is a truly remarkable achievement!

Congratulations also to our Y2K Reunion Parking Lot Attendant, Alex Smith, son of yours truly and Donna Rae Smith (70), who just finished 8th in the public school State Wrestling Tournament, posting the best performance of all 152 pounders (a 7-1 loss) against the repeating State Champion.

In the words of the great and legendary Lew Jenkins, long-time Surratts wrestling coach and State Wrestling Hall of Fame honoree, these are extraordinary feats by two of the worlds toughest boys in the worlds toughest sport. Way to go Tony and Alex!

Tickets are $15 per person, and the price includes dinner (5:30 7:00 p.m.) and OBNCs classic rock (7:00 p.m. - midnight). The event will be held at the Clinton Moose Lodge at 10404 Brandywine Road.

Mike Miller (60) received the inaugural Achievement Award, and the Foundations Achievement Award Committee is considering candidates for the 2001 Award. Nominations are welcomed and encouraged.

For instance, a number of Classes that had not held reunions previously, or that had ceased to hold reunions, have renewed their interest in reunions and rejuvenated and re-energized their Class activities. In addition, many alumni have been reconnected with faculty and staff members who made a major difference in their lives.

HORNETMAN 2000

NARRATOR:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Hornetman 2000 is lovingly dedicated to the everlasting memory of Roland Coluzzi, vice-principal of Surrattsville High School, without whose selfless dedication to the students of Surrattsville, there would never have been a Hornetman!

(Music up)

NARRATOR:
Hornetman 2000, a Bayne-Perron production
Sound by Smith Sound Inc.
Security by Clagett Enterprises...and starring
Lori Pinkey, Class of 71 as Pinky
Glenda Gillan Schornick, Class of 70 as Brainy
Darlene Bayne, Class of 75 as Captain Johnsdaughter
Ruth Barrowcliff, Class of 63 as Ellen Tollbooth
David Faircloth, Class of 71 as Glenjenkins...and

Tom Schultz, Class of 71 as RC Greenpeace & Hornetman

As our story opens, it is a sad time for all in beautiful Metropolitan Surrattsville, for their hero and protector, Hornetman, has given his life to save the populous from the evil Pinky and her sidekick Brainy. Their plot to rid Surrattsville of all indigenous insect life through a massive application of DDT failed, thanks to the heroic efforts of Hornetman.

In her laboratory, Pinky, notorious criminal mastermind, and her sidekick Brainy are celebrating the demise of Hornetman.

PINKY:
Lets drink a toast Brainy. With that flying BeeVomit out of the way, Surrattsville is ours!

BRAINY:
Gosh boss, the good stuff, Chateau de BK Millers. I see youve spared no expense.

PINKY:
Money is no object Brainy. Besides they were having a case lot sale.

BRAINY:
So whats our plan now Pinky?

PINKY:
Something so diabolical, it will bring the economy of Surrattsville to its knees.

BRAINY:
But what about Capt. Johnsdaughter?

PINKY:
With Hornetman out of the picture, Capt. Johnsdaughter will be no match for us.

(Both laugh diabolically)

NARRATOR:
At the same time at stately Pooh Bear Manor, located at #1 Honeypot Lane, former socialite, now town spinster Ellen Tollbooth offers a toast to the heroic memory of Hornetman with her guests, Capt. Johnsdaughter and Glenjenkins.

ELLEN:
He was a saint. I remember in 1970 when he rescued poor Pooh Bear from the clutches of that evil Goon Squad. Why I just dont know what Id have done all these years without Hornetman. And now...(sobbing) hes gone!

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
Yes Roland Jacuzzi was quite a man. He stood for all that is good and decent in Surrattsville. I shall cherish his friendship always.

GLENJENKINS:
Yes, he was a bug among men! But you know, it might be possible to continue his legacy. If we were to search his hive, we might discover a sample of his DNA. With that, Ellen and I could spend weeks locked together in the chemistry lab trying to develop a serum that would enable someone else to become a Hornetman. I still have several of his old crime fighter uniforms down at the antique store.

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
Do you really think thats possible Glenjenkins?

GLENJENKINS:
With our combined scientific knowledge? Why yes, I do!

ELLEN:
Weeks locked in a lab Glenjenkins? I think not!

GLENJENKINS:
Ok, well leave the door open!

NARRATOR:
As Ellen Tollbooth and Glenjenkins go to work to discover the secret of Hornetmans powers, Pinky and Brainy are hard at work on a plan to undermine Surrattsvilles economy.

PINKY:
Brainy, we are going to embark on a scheme to install vending machines for everything. We will corner the market. Just think, mystery meat on a stick. Itll put those portion challenged cafeteria workers out of business.

BRAINY:
Yeah, and that new Janitor in a Drum...boy Gerry PickleBarrel wont know what hit

him and his custodial staff.

(Both laugh diabolically)

NARRATOR:
And so as Pinky and Brainy go about the business of replacing every aspect of commercial enterprise in Surrattsville with a vending machine, a frustrated Capt. Johns daughter phones the laboratory of Glenjenkins.

ELLEN:
Glenjenkins chemlab and used crap nobody wants anymore! You kill em, we chill em.

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
Ellen, is that you?

ELLEN:
Good news CJ, I think Glenjenkins is on to something, but we need a human victim, er test subject. Do you have any ideas?

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
As a matter of fact, I do. Ive been giving this a lot of thought. What about RC Greenpeace? Hes smart, athletic, good looking.......

ELLEN:
I get the picture!

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
....a sex machine to all the chicks...

ELLEN:
For heavens sake Johnsdaughter, get your head out of the sewer, thats John Shaft!

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
And we can dig it!

GLENJENKINS:
Johnsdaughter, I think thats a brilliant choice, but will he do it? It could be very dangerous.

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
Leave that to me.

NARRATOR:
Capt. Johnsdaughter wastes no time in calling on RC Greenpeace, visiting him at his universal map emporium and tanning salon.

RC:
So Johnsdaughter, if I do this, whats in it for me?

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
Only the admiration and thanks of every citizen of Surrattsville. Not to mention that youll be a major chick magnet!

RC:
WOW! Thats good enough for me. Where do I sign up?

NARRATOR:
And so, Capt. Johnsdaughter and RC Greenpeace make their way to the lab where Ellen Tollbooth and Glen Jenkins have completed work on the Hornetman serum.

RC:
I feel overwhelmed by all of this, after all no one can replace Roland Jacuzzi.

ELLEN:
Yes, Roland Jacuzzis sting will be hard to duplicate, but we must stop Pinky and Brainy, or Surrattsville will become the automat of the East Coast.

GLENJENKINS:
Are you ready RC?

RC:
Lets do it!

NARRATOR:
And so Ellen and Capt. Johnsdaughter set about strapping him down to the surgical

table, as Glenjenkins prepares the serum for injection.

GLENJENKINS:
Hold on to your butts. Here goes nothing!

NARRATOR:
Glenjenkins injects RC with the experimental Hornetman serum.

ELLEN:
How do you feel RC?

RC:
Im getting lightheaded. WOW! My whole body feels light as air. I want to wake up and smell the roses!

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
OK...lets unstrap him. OK RC, take off your shirt.

RC:
JC, not here, not now!

ELLEN:
Get a life RC, we need to see if you have sprouted wings.

NARRATOR:
Amazingly, the mystical wings of HORNETMAN have begun to sprout out of RC.

GLENJENKINS:
Here, put on this uniform!

HORNETMAN:
Uniform? Thats nothing but an old wrestling team warm-up suit and a pair of lab goggles.

ELLEN:
Yeah, but its tradition!

ALL:
(breaking into spontaneous song from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF) Tradition.....Tradition!

NARRATOR:
As Hornetman and the trio plot their demise, Pinky and Brainy are busy muscling in on businesses throughout Surrattsville.

BRAINY:
I dont know Pinky. Surrattsville was a quieter place before McDonalds. You know when the choice was eat at Shulers or go out of town!

PINKY:
Quiet Moron. Do you hear that?

BRAINY:
Sounds like bees to me boss.

(Bee sounds)

PINKY:
Look up there. But thats impossible. Hornetman is dead.

(Bee sounds get louder)

HORNETMAN:
Thats right Pinky, youre wrong. And you two are going to spend the rest of your miserable lives in the hive of evildoers for the murder of Roland Jacuzzi.

BRAINY:
Dont sting us Hornetman...please dont sting us!

NARRATOR:
As CAPT. JOHNSDAUHGTER arrives on the scene.

HORNETMAN:
Capt....take these 2 maggots into custody. THEY MAKE ME SICK!!!

NARRATOR:
And so Capt. Johnsdaughter places Pinky and Brainy under arrest.

PINKY:
Youll never hold us copper!

BRAINY:
Yeah, Hornetman. Dont think youve heard the last from us!

(Both laugh diabolically)

NARRATOR:
Later, back at Pooh Bear Manor.

ELLEN:
That was very brave RC.

CAPT. JOHNSDAUGHTER:
Roland Jacuzzi would have been proud RC.

GLENJENKINS:
Yes RC, great work.

HORNETMAN:
Ah, the names HORNETMAN folks. But I have just one question. What do we do with all of these vending machines?

GLENJENKINS:
Sell them at my Used Crap That Nobody Wants Anymore Outlets, of course.

(All laugh hysterically)

NARRATOR:
And so Surrattsvilles citizens can once again sleep at night, secure in the knowledge that once again thanks to Roland Jacuzzis DNA, Hornetman is back on the job!
