Class Prophecy Oince those who have worked with us most, our parents and our teachers, during these four formative years would probably like to make one all-inclusive prophecy for the class, we shall here and now formu- late our own individual futures in order that thtere may be no mistake made. Already we hear the sweet strains of Lohengrin as Joan Baltrush, Dot Hamner, Sally Gillespie, Deb Burt, Bernie Heaney, Madeline Becker, and Marie Hansen take the big matrimonial leap (Hey, how did he get in there!) We shan’t trace their careers any further into the pots and pans and dirty socks, but leave them at the altar. Still others of our girls will answer the call to tread the path of Florence Nightingale, Joyce Young, thermometer in hand; Lena Kehl with made to order bedside manner;” Anita Macomber, just what the doctor ordered; Betty Mazzo, guaranteed to cure what ails you; Margie Wctmore, internes’ favorite and Lillian Satkoski, the doctor’s right hand gal! These are the girls with an eye to the future; it’s all the same idea but the eye happens to wander to the boss’s son. We see Theresa Cervone, feet on her gilt edge desk, reading one of her usual pocket size books; Irene Caputo, her mind only half on the shorthand and her eye on the clock; Janet Monsell, ex- ecutive secretary to the Society for the Prevention of Fatigue from Overwork; Evelyn Mulhall, quitting business school to come to the rescue of Bernie’s financial entanglements; Ann Price, working after hours to get in solid” with the boss; Tina Gentile, the young cosmopolitan, lunching at the Waldorf and work- ing now and then.” A few say they’re undecided, so we’ll venture a guess. Fran Schaumburg we know won’t be idle, and whether she gets him sooner or later, still, he’ll be there. Mert Tolman seems somehow just made for a sweet little vine covered cottage for two or three or four or more. Roger Tabor isn’t letting it leak out, but, we hear he’s slated to be the owner and operator of the largest one man farm, including the whole of Long Island. Curt Breese is signed up to take Red Barber’s place if the Dodgers lose this year. (The doctors have it diagnosed a broken heart.) Our four, and only four, prospective knowledge seekers will be back at the grind under a new, more romantic title—college. Far in the future we see Joyce Goldin, B. A., M. A., Phd., in other words B. T. O.; and Beth Harrer complete with glasses and the old look,” lording it over forty unfortunate adoles- cents; Paul Haldeman, in his impeccable white dinner jacket and bow tic, smoothly operating a hangout for New York’s most fashionables; Jim Mulhall, king of the campus, discovered by Broadway pro- ducer,” featured in the headlines. Beware, ye denizens of the deep. With Clarence Jester and Ted Schrocder realizing their lifelong ambitions, what chance has a poor fish got? And then a good percentage of the class are, of course, rugged individualists. After a life s experi- ence Etorc Giovanelli produces To Riches or Rags on a Squeeze,” or 'How to Play the Accordion in Five Easy Lessons.” Jimmy Lindsay aspires to be operator of a women’s airline service from New York to Florida. The crystal ball becomes cloudy at that point. William Coulter we sec adopting black, bushy eyebrows and a fat cigar as he takes over the United Mine Workers; that is, when Uncle Sam get tired of being pushed around. Leroy Smith figures that with the recent matrimonial venture of the world’s most eligible bachelor, a place has been opened for him. He is now on his way to his first million. Everybody’s out of step but Tommy when the Army snatches Santacrocc shouting vainly, But Sam, you made the pants too short.” Virginia Hansen and Dot Gagen think they’ll just work” the rest

of their lives. We think back to G. H. S. for them, to reverse their attitude. Ramon Dejesus has decided to spend his life dabbling in diesels. Jimmy Dinizio in his bell bottom trousers and Don Reeves in his pith helmet and buffalo horns will expand their hobby to a profession in big game hunting. Bill Boken Bur- bank will without doubt, produce a new Long Island potato, the only one of its kind, a one-eyed variety. Rockefeller’s name shall henceforth be written subordinate to Arthur Rowland in the history of the Stand ard Oil. Wiggy Harris intends to continue throwing the bull as head baby-sitter for the Bessie’s Better But ter” dairy farm. Ken Miller will heed the call to build a a better mousetrap.” Priscilla Staples with new raven hued tresses, we’ll see next with Xavier Cugat, out-rumbaing them all. With the demise of Micky Mouse, Barton Foster will take over as Disney’s man Friday. Nannie Morris, turning down a plea for the Eastern All-Star Basketball League, prepares to take it sitting down—shorthand, that is. Unpack- ing his pin-striped suit, white gloves, and dancing slippers, Andy Zipkas grooms himself for dollar-a-year man; he wants to dispel all rumors of inflation. It’s a bird, it’s a plane”—no, it’s Hootie’s new, jet pro- pelled yacht (emergency oars in the forecastle) with Higbee doing coolie labor on the deck and Monsell in full command.
