Class Prophecy 1960 H ERE it is leap year again, and as we swoop into the old town in our Super Convertible Amphibious Auto-Copter designed by Victor Heurlin and Justin White and powered with several of Charles Elliott’s famous per- petual motion engines, we see that the girls at dear old B.H.S. still outnumber the boys (not counting the shy ones) Flying low we see that ye red brick high school is adorned with an enormous and beautiful addition twice as large as the original building. The Rock Bowl” has also succumbed to a new surface and the installation of thousands of cement bleachers (A dream you say Well, isn’t the whole prophecy a figment of strong imaginations?) In the square Frannie Doo Doo” Nott with her tresses and Margaret Green with her monicker are acting tratfic lights while the real ones are out to shine Nancy Guiliano, jolly proprietress of the local super market, is passing out fruit to the offspring of the Class of ’44 as they trudge (in much the same way their parents did) wearily home from school Mr. Jordan’s two tone ’3 8 Chrysler is still parked outside the school as we pass it and note the diligent student activity occurring therein that of shooting spitballs and being general nuisances Up on Hancock Street, Betty Jones is rehearsing for her weekly radio-television show with Biz” Barrett’s band (They have all just arrived from the west coast to attend our shindig) Marguerite LeVangie is the proprietress of a skata-bowladrome in New York, we are informed, as she pauses long enough in her volcanic unleashing of words when we almost knock her down by flying too low, to say so We are meeting at the new high school auditorium because it provides ample space (something the old one did not do) Dave Knowles is to be the M.C. tonight. He was our streamlined class president way back in ’44 remember? Fran O’Rourke’s Skyline-Shoreline Super-Service Station looms up in the distance of East Braintree He’s doing quite a business, we hear Ray Warner is adding to his collection of ancient automobiles Bob McClellan is adding to his collection of ancient jokes . . . (that you may take in any way you wish) . . . Ralph Libby has his ice house to cool off in whenever the need arises eh, Ralph? Don Plummer, the basketball shooting troubadour, is enjoying great success at the Met in New York City Freddy Vines has graduated to a Cadillac of his own now that he is a featured saxist coast-to-coast weekly Pudgy Powers has joined Laurel as the other member of that laugh team Al Mattie has just pulled in his third million derived from his invention of producing chocolate and strawberry milkshakes from the first and third spigots of Bessy-the-Bossy Louis Barker is enjoying reasonable comfort and success from his dicta-type It’s quite new I’m sure that all of Miss Kirby’s students will be glad to know that you merely talk into the machine and it types all your letters or homework by itself As the head of Consolidated Radio Corporation, Jimmy Maxwell is in a responsible position (It was he who supervised the installation of wall fiber and the public address system 1944 [ 27 ]
