ClaAA PnofJtecy While I was lying in bed the other night thinking, I had a funny thought. I began to won- der about my fellow classmates. I decided right then and there I was going to find out about them. I knew something about some of them but not all, so the next day I started my journey and this is what I found out: I found out that Steve Burns is now running his own barber shop. Mrs. Steve Burns, formally Jenny Groves was his first victim. He doesn’t have to worry about business because he’s got enough little Steves so he can get enough practice on his special haircuts. His fancy haircuts are called “Steve’s Special.” We all remember them from back in our high school days. I found out that Kathryn Groves is still going steady with Buzz Reed. We’re beginning to wonder when they are going to get hitched. She is still buzzing even though she hasn’t Buzz yet because I found that she owns a small beehive on the outskirts of Lorraine. She is trying to make a small profit for their future home and maybe buy more bees. I found out that June Dowker has joined the rank of June Allyson, even though she hasn’t blond hair. I found that she carries'her old date book with her. She may not end up with a baseball player but she might get a wrestler. I have recently heard that the former Miss Sylvia Nichols, now Mrs. Fred Galvan of Dallas, Texas, and her husband have moved to Vermont to join the lumber-jacks. She is trying to cut trees and take care of her little Jacks at the same time. They are trying to live in their little shack of leaves and tree branches until they get enough wood cut to build their future home. At the present time Miss Marilyn Brown is working in a large department store in some city in California. We hear she is working in the Men’s Clothing Department where she is try- ing to catch her man. Now, we see how that she is happily married to Frank Golding. Miss Mary Kehoe, now a great lawyer in Boston, Mass., has helped break up many marriage cases. During her years being a lawyer, many of her classmates have visited her on such cases as divorces, drunken driving, and murders. So far she has steered them all clear. We see she is also married to the love of her life and has two children. Bob Miller is now married to Jane (Adams) Miller and has four kids. He is also the Shop Teacher at Adams High School. Dick Heald is back from the Marines after seeing if he could beat his brother in rank. He’s still looking for the right girl. Leslie Sprague has gained some height and is married and the father of five daughters. Bob Leuze is now Dean of Yale College and has won many high honors and degrees. Ray Berry is now the owner of a 1,000 acre farm. He has a big family to go with it. I have recently heard that the former Miss Anne Priest now Mrs. Ronnie Trowbridge, is living on their 500 acre farm in Worth. It keeps her busy between working in the fields and taking care of her little chicks in the home. At the time they have seven but they wish many more. Mrs. David Iredale, the former Ruth Reeves now in joint ownership of Hotel Adams, a history teacher of Adams High School, has a great future ahead of her. Just think in about 35 years she’ll be able to settle down with a big pension and think about litle hotels that have recently sprung up in different sections of Adams being run by her many sons and daughters as well as her grandchildren. But the main old “Hotel Adams” that sits on Church Street is still going strong. It will always be noted for its history. I recently read in the daily paper that Virgil Robarge has been ordained to the Catholic Preisthood. He expects to be sent as a missionary to the monkeys of Africa. I have recently heard that Kathleen Murphy is on the go again. This time she is leaving Las Vegas where she has been painting the town red for the last two weeks. She is now on her way to New York to represent the New York Mirror.
