CLASS PROPHECY It is a beautiful spring day in 1959.The trees are bursting into blossom.High in the trees the birds are chirping their welcoming song to the season.Their joyous melody floats through the open win- dow of a building which we recognize as Victor Products.A man is sprawled in an easy chair having been lulled to sleep by the cheer- ful ditty of the birds.On the office door in bold letters we see written,hiwood M.Faith,manager.At his elbow lies a magazine with a cover showing an attractive girl with a charming smile which we recognize as Mary Lou Eword.Mary Lou gained her position as cover girl by advertising for Colgates.The sight of this former class- mate brings back fond recollections of his graduating class of '49..
