CLASS PROPHECY Oh, what a time we’ve hadj We've been rushing around finding people that we haven't seen since we left High School ten years ago. It's surprising how far people will go in ten years. But we need all of our ex-classmates if the Alum- nae Ball is to be successful. First of all, we sent a cablegram to Neva Brayman, who is now an airline stewardess for the Pan-American Airways and is in Brazil at the present. Bob Carruthers is now painting a picture of President Dewey (he got there, at last) in Wash- ington, so we sent him a telegram with an invitation to our Alumnae Ball. Next on our high school record book is Lenita Combs, a staff nurse in the surgical department of the Glens Falls Hospital. We now telephone Donald Durkee and kill two birds with one stone as we find that he and Donald Wicks are running a restaurant and tap room on Wain Street in Argyle. Here is Emerson C. Grant's name. It is rather hard to call him, because as president of the G.E., there are so many secretaries that we have to argue with first. We hear that Ella Inman is in Alaska, Just freezing the men , so there goes another telegram to invite her to the ball. Rowland Knowlton can be easily reached by calling his office In Glens Falls, where he is a well-known lawyer. Can you believe it, Lois McWhorter, we find, has married an undertaker and she is also his assistant. As they live in Argyle, we can speak to them in no time at all. We were very disappointed when we cabled Mildred Reid, who is now a mis- sionary in India. She informed us that she cannot leave her people to come to the ball. When we called Clara Revnells, she told us that she is running a taxi business in Argyle and would love to come. Just as we surmised, Eleanor Reynolds married her Jimmy and is teaching Horae Economics in Argyle Central. She told us that we could reach Victor Ruby in Fort Edward, where he now owns a big garage. A bell rings in our mind when we see the name of Catherine Shear. She is making a name for herself by taking over the Job of Supervisor of Nurses at Ellis Hospital. Everyone has heard of the famous Skellies Nursing Home for Aged Ladies. This is the establishment run by our former class- mate, Margaret Skellie. We now have the honor of sreaklnp to the last on our list, Eddie Strainer. Always popular in class, Eddie made millions in the stock market two years after his graduation in 1949. Now fhat we have the whole sixteen of the class of 1949 contacted, we can make more arrangements for our Ball. Do you think we should dress formally or informally? Lennie Combs IZ
