1963 CLASS PROPHECY My-oh-my-Nothing is more delightful after a snack of warm milk and toast then spend- ing a beautiful afternoon in Central Park watching the going-ons. You see, we, JUDY BURT and CHERYL COOPER are what the public commonly term as (uh) old maids. As we accidently look over the tops of our newspapers we cannot help noticing a group of campfire girls who are marching down the middle of the sidewalk carrying signs with the words, fifty miles or bust. Following the girls are the leaders who are riding on motor skooters. Why, that ' s KAREN JACOBS and JEAN FERRIS. Talking with them we find that they are carrying out the physical fitness program for President DARHL E. FULLER. Looking through the New York Times, we find that a nightclub called Al ' s Joint, owned by ALAN KOHART was raided by the vice squad last night, (and Alan seemed like such a quiet boy in school!) Now this classmate, MARY ADEN has done very well. Mary receives a thousand dollars a week just for showing her big smile and stating My group had twenty-one fewer cavities with CRUST. JUDY FULLER, the Wallstreet Wizard had struck it rich again with an investment in the Snap -Crackle gum company. Noticing a large crowd milling around some strange object in the park, we temporar- ily leave our bench to join the crowd. The center of attraction appears to be a space cap- sule. The door opens and out crawls BETTY PESSEFALL. The crowd begins to scatter because of a very weird and frightening noise that is coming this way, but running away is unnecessary because it ' s only Judy Delaney and her Salvation Army band. It ' s time for STUART FERRIS to come walking through the park on his way to the Yankee Stadium. You see, Stuart has finally made a place for himself in the world of sports. Stuart is the dugout custodian for the New York Yankees. We are approached by a beatnik complete with leotards and bongo drums, and reciting poetry. This beatnik, CAROLYN SCHWADERER, stops reciting just long enough to tell us that an old friend of hers, SUZANN SHISLER, is doing very well with her new job as the head of the Boys ' Reform School at Washington, D.C. Things seem to be moving fairly slow in the park, so we return to our newspapers. In the society page, we note that RUTH WARNER, America ' s First Lady of Etiquette has written her third best seller called HOW TO LOOK NICE WITHOUT TRYING. Now here is an interesting article about one of our old classmates. BONNIE SPENCER has disappeared and is thought to have been captured by some African natives. You see, Bonnie is a missionary. Sitting under a tree are JERRY RETCHER and GARY STORK who eagerly tell us about their latest experiment on their experimental farm . They claim that if they cross a cow with a dachshund, the cow ' s a ' draggin ' ! Our attention is then drawn to a very loud voice coming from a lady standing on a soap-box in the niddle of the park. As we ap- proached this rapid-speaking person, we discovered that she is RITA ROUGHTON who is now a lady auctioneer. She is surrounded by antiques and the only one buying them is and old classmate, SUSIE STOVER. Susie tells us that Judy Sickmiller and her little volkswagon could never part, and that they are traveling throughout the country win- ning trophies in dragraces. Susie also tells us that CARLA McCLURE , who is now a government worker, has persuaded the internal revenue department to give green stamps with tax returns to make taxes more enjoyable. As we return to our bench, we see Rockin ' ROBERT MOORE mobbed by teenage girls. Robert ' s new song, The Worm, has become the national dance craze. In the newspaper we see that authorities have finally caught up with BETTY FOHNER, the notorious car -bumper -bender, but again she has been released from arrest because of her famous lawyer, JOE PERRY MASON PAJR.RISH. JUDY HORNER has been named Mother of the Year because of her ability to take care of her ten children and run a practical joke shop in her spare time. Well it is getting late now, and we must return home to see our favorite television program, An Evening With GAYLORD PROXMIRE. 20
