Prophecy Let us look ahead into 1961 . and read a few excerpts from newspapers of that time. As you see, they all pertain to this year's seniors. REGINA VIRKLER became the mother of the second pair of known quintuplets at 3:15 yesterday afternoon. Nurse DOLORES MAHAR reported this morning that Resina was doing nicely. Former critics o: LOWELL GENZEL'S invention of the Atomobile are now compli- menting it. The Atomobile is a car which runs on atomic power. Last week billionaire RICHARD BILAK purchased the first Atomobile to come out of the factory. NANCY BEYER returned to the school from which she graduated to become the secretary. Principal RICHARD WHITE reports that she is doing a fine job. JAMES CAMIDGE, it has been announced, has been, after eight years of service, promoted to Admiral in the United States Navy. Mrs. Kenneth Austin, the former JOANNE TAYLOR, recently moved into a new ranch house in North Carolina. Mrs. Austin has hired KAREN FARNEY as private nurse to take care of her four boys. Mrs. Fred Gruner, the former MARY IAMOUREY, has been named one of the world's ten best-dressed women. Her former classmate, C1E0 LEHMAN, is the designer and dress-maker from whom Mrs. Gruner gets her dresses. WILLIAM PARKER won first prize of $5,000 and a free trip to Honolulu in the world oratorical contest. His speech was entitled ’’The False Teeth of Today”. The Talking Society” has recently elected new officers. EARL PRESSAW Is the president and LILA GINGERICH vice-president. No one is accepted into the society unless he can talk for at least thirty minutes without stopping. SHIRLEY SHULTZ and ELLEN MONNAT, both graduates of Beaver River Central School, are now dental hygienists in the same school. They have a very efficient method of cleaning and checking teeth. While one is checking, the other is clean- ing. This is not cnly efficient, but it is swift nn saves much time. Farmers everywhere are approving DONALD SCHNEIDER'S invention of the indoor pasture. This pasturo is domed with an unbreakable transparent material which keeps out the rain, but permits the sunshine. The famous Riverbank Farm” has been taken over by HAROID TAUBE. The farm was originally owned by Harold's father. JANICE MARTIN has been hired as Mr. Tau'oe ’ s personal secretary. A new Oldsmobile factory, 15 miles long and 0 miles wide, has been opened in Croghan by ROGER KUHL. Mr. Kuhl has 13 0 men working for him at the present time, and he expects to soon turn out 1,000 cars a day. A Little Honey”, given by the sehior class of 3eaver River Central School has won first prize in the recent play contest in which 30 high schools Par- ticipated. PHYLLIS LAMBERT, the art teacher at this school, has be n given much of the credit for this success. JAMES KLOSYER, the manager of Kloster's Department Store in New York City, has recently hired some new clerks for his store. MARIE ZEHR, one of his classma.es while in high school, is one of the clerks. BERNICE MEISTER was recently awarded the job as manager of the Upstate Telephone Company, which has its main office in the metropolis of Lowville. JOHN MOORE' in his fourth year as a basketball player in the National Basket- ball Association, has certainly lived up to his clippings which publicized him as the best player in the United States. Last night John, who incidentally plays for the world champion New York Knickerbockers, tossed in 70 points for a new professional record. He is no longer handicapped by fouls as he was in high school because in professional ball he is allowed six personal fouls. CHARLES NUFFER was recently bestowed the title of the most eligible bachelor in the world. This honor was given to him by the New York Times and many other leading newspapers. A new rule is being considered in the National Basketball Association. This rules deals with raising the basket from ten to fifteen feet. The reason for this Is BERNARD MATT, who, because of his height of eight feet, can score too easily. A new best-seller is now the rage of the country.
