Prophecy It is 1963, in the merry month of May; the scene is Berlin, and what a Berlin it is! It’s now the proud owner of a newspaper, a radio station, two theaters, various drug stores and confectioneries, and many other general improvements. I, as editor-in-chief of the daily paper, the Gazette, am certainly proud of the way Berlin has grown and thrived. New buildings have sprung up. Brother Daniel Garlone’s funeral home, which owes much of its success to the touching epitaphs of Miss Jean Raymond, is located on Main Street. Next, are the main offices of the oil tycoon, Ralph Simeone, who supplies the state of Connecticut with oil to keep it warm all winter. In his absence on business trips, it is his able secretary, Irene Gacek, who carries on. Our radio station is run by Edward Wroblewski with Alyce Cameron singing all the commercials (probably her best known work is her stirring rendition of the Kornichuk Krispy-Kernel Candy Company song), and Alfred Roy doing the news commentating. A great step forward has been the formation of a cooperative by a group of local businessmen with Allen Austin running a chain of grocery stores, Donald Munson and Raymond Stange growing the produce, and Robert Johnson taking care of the trucking part of it. Our fire department has grown into one of the best in the state with George Skene and Norman Hutchinson as co-fire chiefs. Fred Buxton is now the owner of a tremendous used car concern (and they say he started business with only a Model A Ford, too! ) Our new high school, a gift from the generous Barbara Hall, has just been completed, due to the efforts of those two contractors, Paul Zigmont and Steve Paskiewicz. Edwin Kriwacki has been appointed Dean of Girls, Lois White, head of the Home Economics Depart- ment, and Eleanor Saravalli, head of the Commercial Department. Naturally, John Pipkin has charge of the bus transportation for the students. The school’s first assembly will have as its guest speaker Miss Irene Haman, the great culinary expert, who will speak on the subject of different methods of preparing pigs’ knuckles. Lillian Bighinatti and Kathleen Cooney are now the proud owners of a smart dress shop, and the delicate craftsmanship of the dresses is due to the head seamstress, Ann Horbal. James Holigan and his men’s clothing store are responsible for the newest fad in men’s suits — casual corduroys, mauve or twilight teal. Although the town has no general hospital, there are many Berlin girls, Irene Slimsky, Ruth Peer, Katherine Hoppe, and Nancy France — who hold impor- tant nursing positions in hospitals all over the country. Many former Berlinites are now famous authors. The best known are R. Patrick Dennehy, whose book Free Thinking for the Irish” has caused so many
