Class Prophecy It's June 15, 19774, and the Class of '49 is holding its annual reunion. It looks like everybody made it this time, let's look around and see, I've been class sponsor for many classes and this is the first one that ever turned out for reunions. Oh, there's Joyce Becker over there, I mean Joyce Bidwell. She certainly is looking as young and pretty as ever. Must be a sign of marital bliss. To think she's got a daughter in high school too'. Say, who is that good-looking man she's talking to? Why, it's Dave Boyes and with gray hair Well, I guess that's understandable. Those five children of his are ample cause for gray hair. I hear Dave has started to raise thoroughbreds, as well as run that large farm of his. Speaking of farmers, here comes Johnny Combs--whoops--there goes Johnny Combsi Age certainly hasn't slowed down his driving. Well, it looks like he did stop. I see he's talking to the former Kathryn Fleck, probably thrilling her with tales of his new barn. Kathryn is certainly dressed in the latest style, but of course as wife of the owner of a big chain of women's stores, she has to be. There's a girl who really made a success of her career. She worked up to private secretary to the owner of Winkleman's before she married. Now who are those two women under the tree? Oh, I know, it's Delores Dahn and Phyllis Themm Seems they've stuck together all these years. Now that's real friendship, Delores is the only woman driver of a Hartland School bus, she's driving the new No. 6. Phyllis is content as a busy housewife. I wonder who that is zooming around the refreshment table? Well, you might know it's Tootie Foldenauer. I, guess she's the busiest woman in Hartland, what with three children and all the activities she can squeeze in. Did you know she's president of the P.T.A. too? There's quite a group around the refreshment table. Twenty-five years hasn't changed the one common characteristic of this class. I see Tony Gaffka speaking to Norvel Gardner between bites of Tootie's chocolate cake. Helcertainly has that prosperous and successful look about him, even developing a bay window. He's head engineer at Hartland Edison Company, you know. Norvel inherited S 100,000 from some long-forgotten relative and has built a canal outside of Hartland for young canoeists. He travels a great deal on his yacht and is leaving soon for a jaunt to China. It seems we're going to have a little entertainment now. The class is fortunate in having Milton Hoose, the famous radio singer, as one of their group. Someone's just arriving in a brand new super Ford '74. Why, that's Jackie Hogan, the popular Power's model. She's just arrived from a vacation in Bermuda. Thatls where she got that wonderful tan. Do you know that person who is with her? Oh, Andy Helquist, of course. He's the owner of the new Ford garage on Avon Street. And here comes his most frequent customer, Dick Johnson, who is still a hot-rod driver in Owosso. He has cracked up quite a few times and I guess he is going to retire soon and take over the position of janitor at the modern new school building in Hartland. It's called the Morgan School, after the well-known architect, Russell Morgan, who designed it. Two of the Class of 49 are still attending Hartland, as teacher and superintendent. Virginia Kordatzky is head of the new Dramatics Department in Hartland High and she's going to do very well, while Richard Strong is superintendent of schools and rules with an iron hand just like his idol, W.H. Griffiths. Mr. Strong's right hand girl is Betty Lou Olrich, his super-competent secretary, who still has enough personality to make the high school boys pay their lunch money. It's a wonder Harold Sloan and the former Barbara Kirshman managed to have time for this reunion. Their twin boys are graduating this June and are they busyi Harold's registered Holsteins are said to be the best in Michigan. By the way, would you like to attend the home demonstration at the new music hall? Ruth Ann Lyons, the Livingston County Home Demonstrator, is giving it. Therels sure to be a crowd for this one is on cherry pie baking. Did you notice the new Mack Pharmacy as you drove into Hartland? Being just a block long, maybe you missed it. Bob Mack has certainly done a lot for Hartland by building it. No, those two women over there aren't policewomen. That's Betty Martin and Ada Rayl--they're co-commanders of the big WAVE Training Station on Maxfield lake. They certainly look very happy and pretty snazzy in their new uniforms. There's Gordon Masters as big as ever. See him over by Dorothy Moore Tamlyn? Did you ' know Gordon is head dogcatcher in Hartland? He ran on the Democratic ticket of course, and now that he's entered politics he's thinking of running for mayor. Dorothy is Mrs. Richard Tamlyn of course. And she's mighty proud of her three boys and two girls who are all A students at Hartland. Oh, there's the librarian of the new Cromaine Library, Barbara Powell, did you know she traveled all over the world before she settled down in Hartland? That's Barbara Newlin, the very successful interior decorator, she's talking with. She's decorated most of the new homes in Hartland. I see Helen Willer and Joyce Price chatting as usual. I imagine Helen is telling Joyce how well she likes her work as superintendent of the Women's Divisions of the Detroit Police Depart- ment. Even though she's married, she decided to continue her work. Joyce, on the other hand, is probably trying to find one of her children. It seems she brought all six of them along since she couldn't find a sitter. Well, I guess the reunion is just about over for this year, but I'm sure they'll all be back again next year, too, for we class sponsors have to stick together. Barbara Kirshman, Harold Sloan, Gordon Masters, Robert Mack, Russell Morgan

Class Song GOODBYE TO HARTLAND To the halls of Hartland High School, we have come to bid farewell, So we'll sing to praise the school we love so well. Sing a song of dear old Hartland and its memories entwined, Which forever o'er our pathway cast their spell. CHORUS: We're graduates all, who must go on our way, Ah! Alr! Ah! We're scared of the future--we wish to stay, Ah! Ah! Ah! We're very young and still very weak As we go forth our way to seekg Kind teachers! We are now so meek, Ah! Ah! Ah! To the daily, friendly greeting, we must ever bid adieu, And go forth to seek for friend- ships that are new: And we'll miss the kind protection of our Alma Mater, dear, As we pass tonight forever from her view. But we'll not forget your teaching, in the home or in the mart, As we scatter o'er this world so far apart, We shall strive to honor ever all the lessons we have learned, And to carry dear, old Hartland in our hearts. Tune: Whiffenpo of Song Committee: Betty Lou Olrich, Chairman Richard Strong Milton. Hoo se Ada Rayl Virginia Kordatzky
