24 CLASS PROPHECY Ever since, and long before, the auricles of Delphi and Apollo sent up their mysterious smokes, and made their two-faced prophecies, man ha sought to lay bare the secrets of the future. Some have discovered a foolproof method: just look for the future one day at a time. I set out to find what had become of the remarkable class of 1952, for much had been hoped and expected of their steadfast talents and genius. To start with, I looked close to home, in Suffield. In Robert Stoughton I found a sturdy son-of-the-soil who has stuck to his guns through years of change. As he him¬ self expressed it, He’s been again ’em all!” One of his near neighbors is Joe Hryniewicz, who has become a Gentle¬ man Farmer” by means of raising tobacco, the great money crop. However, he still likes to get out and work his own land. In my conversation with him, I asked him if the fertilizer he used stimulated growth. Well,” he said re¬ flectively, I don’t know if it stimulates plants, or if it’s iust so down-right repulsive that they do their durndest to grow away from it!” Red McBride, after making his million as a red-headed movie villain, retired and became a volunteer fireman. He wasn’t a very good one though, because he liked to let the fire burn up good and bright, so that he could see what he was doing. Speaking of fires reminds me of Jean Kennett (not that she has set the world on fire). The whole country is laugh¬ ing at her latest book entitled Who Rang That Firebell!” Another author of note, today, is Murray Phelps. Critics are raving over his book, The Queen Bee”, but from the price, I should say the buyers are getting stung. Stanley Beneski, who rose to fame as a Chimp or I mean Champ in basketball came into an unexpected fortune. A distant uncle of his willed him a share of the well known treasure-trove in Fort Knox. When Stash heard the news, he murmured piously, Yesterday at five in the morning, my uncle and I passed on to a better life.” Of course, this sudden windfall reminded many people that THERE was someone they ought to know better. Mabel Richey, a very successful businesswoman in the insurance field, was wel¬ comed by Stanley as an old classmate, and it is reported that she had sold him a policy in record time. She will tell the world that, Honestly, it’s the best policy.” Anne King, neat and versatile, has become the private secretary of that noted psychologist, Dr. Thomas Carleton Upson. In doing research work on the complexities of childhood, she has discovered one fact of note— Children rarely fear water unless soap is added.” Dr. Upson has a rather unique daffinition for psychology: Common sense put into language no one can understand!” Parks, Prior. From Gloria Paganelli I learned that political affairs are just as bad now as they were back in 1952. As the secre¬ tary of an electioneering candidate she claims that she and the reporters are the only ones who take all that lying down. Louise Romano has become an excellent office worker, but she still feels sorry for any man who hasn’t the imagin¬ ation to spell a word two ways. Joanne Rutkiewicz, I find, did not become the world traveller in Uncle Sam’s navy which she hoped to be, but she now has a very interesting job in a post office on wheels. She cremates the dead letters. Shirley Pedersen enjoys her work as a stenographer, but as she herself says, The trouble with going to work on time is that it makes the day so long.” Carol Kwolek, although now married, still remembers her wonderful college days. One day, in particular, stands out in her memory. On that day, a certain professor wrote on the board a notice stating that he would be un¬ able to meet his CLASSES. A prankster erased the letter C. Suffield has become a world famous fashion center. Joyce Parks is the creator of women’s sytlish hats. Her shop, elegant in every detail, caters only the best. Madame Parks’s creations are so sought after and exclusive, that any woman has a price on her head—if she wears a hat. Her foremost model, whose face appears in the most fashionable magazines, is the charming and curvacious Nancy Prior. Although Nancy retains her maiden name, she is married to a great brain of the scientific world. In jest, she said that she now believes that genius is not only the infinite capacity for TAKING pains, but also for GIVING them. Carolyn Reed, well-known concert pianist, usually re¬ fuses to sign autographs, for her hands are her chief con¬ cern. However, recently she broke this rule in favor of a little girl who said pleadingly, I know your 1 fingers are tired from playing, but mine are too—from clapping!” Vivian Jones, after years of intensive study, both in this country and abroad recently attained an unprecedented suc¬ cess in her debut at the Met. Her word of advice is simple, Success consists of getting up just one more time before you fall.” Susanne Osborn, whose original hair styles were the sen¬ sation of the school back in ’52, has made her charm school a prosperous and popular venture. With due respect to Benjamin Franklin, she says to do well in any enterprise just EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE, WORK LIKE HECK AND ADVERTISE! Shirley Hill and Sally McConnell, by the great combina¬ tion of their charm, talent, ingenuity, and labor have accom¬ plished wonders in the field of social work. They have received the Hobel Humanity Prize for outstanding con¬ tributions in the field of self-sacrifice in the interest of all people. The simple credo which has led them on is If you lean over backwards being fair, it’s harder for your enemies to kick you in the pants.” Ann Bogdanski has found a field which requires the full amount of her time, energy, talent, and wits. She is mar¬ ried. While she gets a great deal of pleasure out of her family, she also knows that handwriting on the wall isn’t a miracle; it merely means that there are children in the house.
