Senior Prophecy Leaving our liigh school attachments behind, we not only look back on pleasant memories, but v e must always look on toward the glorious future. Before we leave these halls we wish to publish this prophecy of our lives in the world of men. Let us look in on the class of 1952 ten years from now. Pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals and enjoying his fame, Wayne (babe) Atwell is surrounded by his fans, four Power' s models named Jean, Virginia, Teresa and Shirley. Dolores Brown makes a very efficient housewife as sne cooks all Dave McHenry’s favorite foods in their little house on Pingrey Hill. $ow as we look in on Mary Brown, you probably expect her to be Mrs. Roger Stocum, but she surprised even herself by sticking to her vow and is now head nurse in the children's ward of the Strong Memorial Hospital. Nursing is the profession of another former senior, Mary Lou Clark- She is now working in the office of Dr. Alfred Ross of Andover. Paul Clark is carrying on his father's work by taking care of the farm. He still pursues his high school hobby of photography. The Citizen's National Bank cones before our eyes now and we see Mike Connor, class president who ten years later progressed to president of the bank. Lights, camera, action—the scene changes again and we find ourselves in Washington D.C. employed by the Civil Service Department. What are we doing here? Why looking in on Neva Curry. Teaching is the profession of Marc; Daley. She i3 now ten years older ana still faithful to Skip and her high school sweetheart. Another grand old senior Ronald Bills is living abroad where he is carrying on a successful career of hating women and writing novels. Having brain waves? Well, get your appointment with Dr. Mary Fowler, whc is an eminent psychologist and has her office on Fifth Avenue in New York City. We find Bill Ace” Glover, who is now a famous United States Air Force pilot. Bill is complaining these days, about how all Marlene's fan mail weights down his plane. Mr. and Mrs. Dale Green, she is the former Charity Howland, are rewriting Cheaper By the Dozen on their well-populated farm in East Valley. Accounting 13 the career of Pete Figures Howland, who is also well knowr. among race track owners for his ability to balance bookies. If you see a typical sailor with a gal in every port ten years from now, you'll knov; it's just Clyde Jackson carrying on as usual. Far off India is the setting for our 3tage now as we see Mr. And Mrs. Don Broun carrying culture to the natives. JoAnn is now the proud mother .of four small redheaded missionaryettes. Another member of the class of 1952, Anita Nichols, may be sten curling tne hair of her patrons between bottle warmings and diaper changes. She is now Firs. Richard Hancock and the mother of twin girls. Clarice Hye always wanted a career as a Home Economics teacher and now in 1962 she has finally reached her goal. Tune in station J-O-K-E-R and you'll find another senior, Danny Kaye Peltor delivering his famous imitations. Lois Ruger, now Mrs. Freeman Dennison is playing the main character in her favorite song I I'anta Play House With You. Travelinr around the world has been very educational for Billie Ryan and she now is read; to settle down and edit her first book of poetry. Teaching agriculture in Greenwood Central School, Lyle Slocum was found. He and Suzie have temporarily put aside their continual fighting long enough to take their vows. Joyce Spicer is now happily married and is making good use of her Home Economic major. Our old classmate, Carl Waters, has just returned from the first successful rocket trip to the moon and now plans to continue his teaching career. Rodney Wheeler is now a successful farmer and is kept company by his charming bride, Millie. As he always told Miss Chandler, Roger Wright's career is typing at a rate of 205 words a second for the New York Tlm s newspaper.

’ f t Entering our sophomore year, we realized some one was missin... Looking around we discovered that Ron Sutor, Dan Lynch and Don Greenan must have tired of vs ana quit- Jean Elauvelt moved away, Beverly Sutor moved to Delaware and Doris Burdick to Troupsburg. Sonny Darwin Lehman ajid Ralph Howard joined the Navy, Ernest LaFollette was attending Barker and Beverly Hackett had passed away de lost eight members and Gained one, Anita Jean Nichols, making the class registration thirty. Our homeroom was in the lab under the supervision of Mr Reil. Beverly Hackett before her death, was president, JoAnn Marsh, vice president and Beverly Sutor, secretary and treasurer. In our junior year we had diminished until we were twenty-four in number. Ron Ellis joined us the last half of the year. Mary Fowler entered, left and reentered the class in the course of a year and also we received a new member, Rodney Wheeler. Betty Sutherland left us. We were divided into two homerooms, the Girls in the Commercial room with Miss Sauer as our Junior class advisor and the boys in the art room with Mr. Bartz’as their supervisor. Wayne Atwell pro-sided as president. Dale Green as vice-president, JoAnn Marsh as secretary and Mary Brown as treasurer. That year the Junior Girls had a party at Mary Lou Clark's. Later we went to Stony Brook Glen and then we visited the drive-in at Hornell. That year we sold cone hangers from which we made a profit of 160 dollars. Near the end of the year we ordered our rings which we received at the beginning of our senior year. We consulted Mr. Mandel about the next year's schedule and we thought to ourselves , just one more year for all of this: basketball games, parties, jokes and-just one more year to sing our Alma Mater So entered the senior cl ss of 1952 and with it entered almost more than ct class can endure and yet with the knowledge that Mr. Conde' would want us to 'o on, we struggle forward. But we cannot say it has all been sadness, for we have worked together, argued,had fun and planned for the night when Mr. Kessler hands each of us our diplomas. Mike Conner, president of the senior class, ha3 shouldered a great deal of responsibility, since Bill Glover, vice president, who took the Job, so he told •us, because there was little work attached. The class secretary, Lois Huger, tried to read the minutes above the hub-bub and confusion and our class treasurer, Mary Lou Clark, holds the purse strings. Wayne Atwell in the last ear has reformed from grumbling. Dolores Brown is quiet but with a quick, cheeeful laugh. Mary Brown is noted for always havin her work done without being a- rlnd. JoAnn Marsh remai R «niet, studious and v ell liked. Mary bowler, who always hustles and bustles, finished her sehior year in January. Margaret Daley, her dog Skip, and the famous school crush. On dov n through the list of seniors we find Carl Waters, who never failed to entertain us with some weird story for a book report, Rodney Wheeler,who spends most of his time vacationing down on the farm. Tall and lanky Ro- er Wright and Lyle Slocum who fool around more than they work. Ron :ilis has broken the record for quittin and re-entering the halls of .C.S. Neva Curry did a stupendous job on the yearbook while Anita'Nichols will oe remembered as the red head who is big as a minute. Paul Clark had to replace i fan belt to his father's car because of the senior class. Dale Danny5’ Pelton gas livened up many a party with his imitation, Ronald :iPete’ Howland remained one of the best liked seniors and one of the biggest pests. We shall remember Joyce Spicer as the yearbook typist,Clyde Jackson as the best salesman any class :ould ask for and Billie Ryan as a ready supporter of the class. Bill McNeill tried to rush things b being a junior one half of the year and a senior the next; half and myself Clarice Nye, I never have my work done. Two from the class left us, Dick Nye who is now married and Bill Gorsuch who gave his life in Korea. Mrs. Falsion is our senior supervisor, and Mr. Mandel our advisor. These notations are no - to hurt character, but to record memories of the grand class of 1952. We hope that something which we have done will be of some.benefit to our Alma Mater.
