CLASS PROPHECY Continued Bernard Kendall is supervisor of the township of Corinth. Lt. Commander George A. King, U. S. N. has just been assigned to command the Mosquito Fleet Patrol in the Panama Canal Zone. Gerald Messia, who developed into a raconteur of note in the days of Dr. Blodgett, is a scenario writer for M. G. M. William Oberg, naturally enough, is now president and principal stockholder in the Good Hurngr Company. Alfred Poskanzer has expanded the Poskanzcr Delicatessen chain until it now covers New York, New England and the Middle Atlantic States. Robert Potenza when last heard from had just set forth with his bride for Alaska to do some trapping in the frozen Northland. Robert Rees after a few interesting years as a traveling salesman for Eli Lilly, married the farmer’s daughter and is now general sales manager. Edward Rogers, physical fitness director of the United States Marine Corps, is stationed in Portsmouth, Me. Arne Rovig is a successful textbook author. His most recently published tome is “Mathematical Wizardry in 10 Easy Lessons.” Irving Sexton won the plaudits of the mob for many years as stellar goalie of the Maple Leafs, but infirmities of age have now forced him to be content with coaching that invincible hockey troop. George Skinner is residing in a laboratory in the foothills of the Catskills near Westford, his boyhood home. He is engaged in scientific research, one of his current experiments dealing with vapor condensation. Warren Stone, better known as “Gordon Q,” is head ranger of the New York State Adirondack Park and may frequently be seen dashing over the Mount Marcy cliffs. Donald Swayze has just completed the final draft of his autobiography entitled “Deep in the Heart of Texas” or “From Cowhand to Toreador. ” Well, well! Of all things, Brooks Franklin Wood, the Dolgeville Demon, has really distinguished himself. Of 27 members of the class of ’42 Brooksie is the only one still engaged in retail Pharmacy. His Dolgeville Drug Dispensary makes Lascoff’s look ancient as did the Throop Apothecary' back in 1942. Thirty Toreador—synonymous with bullthrower.
