CLASS PROPHECY As I lay on the terrace swing of my 10.000 acre mansion 1 started to think of my Classmates of ’53. Just two days ago we had a party to find out the whereabouts of our classmates. George Babcock has been employed in a copper factory for the last five years. As far as we know he is still running as wild as he did in high school. Ed Wise is now a professional basketball player. He has been playing center position for Stone’s Dairy Maids for some two years under Coach Peggy Patrick. James Bezner couldn’t come to our party. Jim, long since married to Eugenia Fredenburg. had to stay on his large farm in Argentina tending to his goats as well as a few kids of his own. Elaine Robarge is now anticipating marriage. Men are flocking to her with thoughts of marriage to her money, a gambling hall in downtown Cobville. Floyd Brigham and Lyle Gillette are now working in their combined labs. Both boys are trying secretly to change each other into the opposite sex. By last reports they were both in for a big surprise. Gerald Richardson, now the up-and-coming owner of the Dogpatch Bowling Alley, is taking life easier than he did in his pin setting days. David Bundy is now a New' York State game warden with poaching as a side line to his regular work. Catherine Widrick is now the assistant prine ipal and History teacher of A. H. S. Mrs. Haggerty, formerly Ann DeMaise and Mrs. Cowles, formerly June Ebdon. are working in Wa- tertown as telephone operators waiting for the Air Force to complete theii careers. Hazel Remington, married to her husband, has been busily engaged baby sitting for her own kids, of course. Edith Dickinson is now President of Smithville W.C.T.U., Alcoholic Anonymous Division. Wc hear she is having a wonderful time trying to clean up the town. Lois Porter, better known as Lois the “Grappler’’ Porter, is now the Women’s wrestling champion of the world, with Pen ), the ‘‘Killer’’ Fowler as her manager. Prof. Pearson and Dr. Marti are now professional manufacturers of modern moonshine, and are having a rough time avoiding the Feds. Six star General Bill Freeman, who recently took over Moscow, is now chief director of the Siberian Salt Mines. Mrs. Alice Moore kogut is now running a large nursery with half the attendents her own. Pharmacist Ronald Heald, Esq., is about to have his license revoked. Could it be the increased death rate in the village of Ruby, ten miles south of Diamond? Lloyd Miller, manager of Station N.U.T.S.—T.V. or National Universal Television Station—'I .V. is now working on the invention of Smellivision. The F.C.C. thinks it just slinks. Bill Hewitt, president of the “Very Lonely Hearts Club’’ of Cattail, has not. as yet. trapped any foolish female. Supersonic Dick LaLonc is attempting to fly around the universe. The last we heard he was visiting Venus, the all women planet. Actress Avis Howe has just finished her second film role in ‘School Daze.” Could she have gotten her start in our Senior Play? Dave Iredale is now Proprietor of Airedale’s Restaurant in Dogpond. Main courses include Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads. Well, its about time I ran along. The mail just came and I have to drive four miles in my Cadillac to get it. [ 10]
