This is the way an advertisement will read in the New York Times: “Artist wanted, no experience needed, good wages, Cartoon Section, Satur- day Evening Post. Gail Dick will answer this ad. Soon the Advertisement will read: ‘ Would like job as artist, prefer cartoon sections.” The Post won’t supply enough work to satisfy Gail and her four little artists. Marjorie McDonell will win first prize with her laugh on People Are Funny, then get a job of her own laughing from Coast to Coast on T. V. Betsy Forguites will stay single until 1962 when she will meet a dog trainer whom she will marry. You see, he will be able to train her dogs; her kennels are getting quite crowded. Pat Hope, who liked sewing so much at Brandon High, will graduate from U. V. M. and will work as an assistant in the operating room of the Mary Fletcher Hospital, sewing up incisions. Ruth Disorda, after marrying Leonard, will decide they spend too much money on the car getting it fixed in garages. She will start learning how to be a mechanic. She will then have her own garage in Middlebury where she can fix everyone else’s car. Jean Thompson will retire to her home just waiting for any eligible, handsome, wealthy bachelor of whom she approves. Gert Baker will be one of the heroes of the class of ’53. During her first season of driving at Pice Raceway, she will spin off the track twice. After several years, she will become one of the leading drivers in the National Stock Car Association. I see that Wayne Howland will take over his father’s farm. I see a wife. Oh, it’s Pat Hope. It’s not long before the family starts to increase! I see thirty head of cattle, and a couple of experimental yaks imported from Alaska. Mary Bruce must have taken the Senior Jamboree quite seriously, because I see that she will take up wrestling as a side line. You will be able to see het at 11:00 o’clock on channel 7 on Saturday Nights. Janet Smith will turn out to be a great success. She will set up a business of writing class prophecies, with offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, and Timbuctoo. She will hire her husband as 17th Vice- President. Bill LaRoque will join the Navy and become chief dough slapper of the baking squad. This is a very important job, as everybody knows what wonder- ful artillery fire navy biscuits make. Gordon de Lancey in school had only one girl; but after going in the service he will meet many and will become quite a Romeo. He will have girls wherever he goes, but he’ll still prefer brunettes to blondes. Gale Parmelee will do quite well on his farm. He will get a pretty profit after someone finally teaches him about the birds and bees. Bob Bassett, our class politician of ’53, will go to Washington to campaign for United Nations delegate and get himself a job as the American peace delegate to Russia. He sure will talk himself into something this time. John New, who had a very excellent baritone voice, will join the service and be known as the singing sergeant of his outfit. When he lands in New York on his way home, he will walk down the street singing and will be given a job, so he certainly won’t go hungry. He will be the only singing Good Humor man in the United States. Janet Smith, Carlisle Geldert.
