CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1963. It is the time for the class reunions at Coe-Brown. But wait! Where’s the Class of ’53? Let’s ask that lady over there. “Why, haven’t you heard!’’ she exclaimed. “They have all gone to start a new civilization on the moon. They left by rocket ship a few years ago. Dick Bengtson was one of the leaders of the ex- pedition. He is now President of the G. E. Corporation which just set up a new lunar branch. Alberta Witham is a private secretary to Alvah Yeaton’s well-drilling com- pany and raising little well-drillers to furnish the water supply on the moon. What is Ted Geers contributing to this civilization? Oh, he’s running a dog kennel and has a large dog biscuit factory to provide food for all the dogs there. Say, who’s the new Professor of Chemical Engineering in the new univer- sity? They say it’s Clifford Bane who just came up from Harvard. Did Pearl Yeaton fulfill her ambition? Oh, yes, she is now a private nurse to Ralph Twombly who has recently entered the new Naval Hospital there. Marilyn Sherman is head of the Nursing Department there on the moon and is also chairman of the entertainment committee for the space patrol. Did Bob Grant go with the rest of them? Oh. yes, he’s married to Dotty Holmes and has one of the biggest garages there is up there. He says that it ought to keep the twins in shoes. What happened to Joanne Tuttle? Well, I heard that she and her hus- band, Billy Crummey, are in the business of building ranch style homes for those who have large families like themselves. Did Kenneth Magoon get his promotion in the Navy yet? Oh, yes, he is an Admiral now and instead of following the saying “A girl in every port,’’ his motto is “girls in every port! ! ! !” I heard that there has been an addition to the families there on the moon. Sure, Joy Wiley got enough booties knitted so that she could take her little Panamainians up there from Panama. Say, isn't Marilyn Tuttle one of the head nurses at the hospital? Oh, yes, when she went up there she brought up the forces from the naval hospital in Chelsea. I hear Phyllis Twombly and her husband are making out pretty good up there. Yes, their baseball team just won the pennant. Nine boys, I guess, are pretty useful. Did Margery Heath have any use for the Home Ec. that she took at Coe- Brown? She sure did! She and her husband Arthur are pretty busy trying to make their seven-room house comfortable for their children. Isn't Mary Lovely in the Air Force? She certainly is. She is command- er of the Woman’s Air Force up there on the moon, and has captured the hearts of all the generals. Well, I’m glad we have heard from the class of '53. Let’s hope they all fulfill their ambitions and lead a successful life there on the moon. 15
