Prophecy In 1961 Mrs. Eastman decided to take a trip around this old world to look up her old class of 1951 Her first stop was in Syracuse to see Ed Niebuhr display his hook shot with the Nats, She then boarded a train to New York City. That night she spent her evening at Radio City hall, as a guest of Don Harris, the famous Uke player. The next day she visited the A P Lab where Terry Kohl was the official food tester. On her way to the train she happened to run into Carolyn Williams, who is governess of John D. Rockefeller's grandchildren. Arriving in Washington she visited Rosamond Ebdon, who is now the President's wife. While reading the paper at the President's home, she noticed that Doris Cummings had been chosen as the All-American softball player for the year. By the next day, Mrs. Eastman traveled to Chicago to visit Madeline Kellar who now owns a large Bowling Alley. While in Chicago, she visited the Vaudeville acts in one of the theaters. One of the main attractions was the Champion Weight Lifter of the World which was, of course, Eleanor Kohl. Another main attraction was the Worlds' Famous Cartoonist, Kay Saunders. Marilyn Otis was starred as the Fat Woman. That night she stayed at Beverly Veley's home. Beverly is now noted for her ability to make false teeth. Mrs. Eastman then went to Kentucky where she visited Stuart MacDuffie who is raising hops as a moonshiner. A day later, we find Mrs. Eastman in California watching the world's most famous Hell Drivers performer, who is, of course. Jack Gillette. At night she watched the Great Gildersleeve perform on television. Little did she know that it was Dick Corron who was substituting the Great Gildersleeve'3 laugh. She also watched LeRoy White play the bass drum in Phil Spitalny's All Girl Orchestra. That night she stayed at Frances Eastman's house. Frances is now married to a movie star and has five children. The next day Mrs. Eastman went to Texas to see Barbara Brown who is an Air Force Hostess. The reason for this is that she had to keep an eye on Paul. Before leaving she met Frances Mull in on the street selling pop corn. Frances said that her senior class always made a lot of money that way, so she thought she would try it. She then took a plane to Moscow, Russia. In Russia she found Howard Hodge arguing with Stalin over the European problems. Before leaving Russia, she met Charles VanBrocklin wandering on the streets with a large box in his hands. He was asking everybody he saw what The Thing was. She then went to Italy to see Maida Hedger. Maida was making her living as a jockey in the Plug Horse Races. From Italy she went to Paris to see Joyce Flagg and Phyllis Pulton perform on the stage. Joyce was a ballet dancer and Phyllis was a strong girl in an acrobatic trio. From Paris she took a train to LeHarve where she took a boat to New York. On the boat she met Charlene Golding still colored as a maid. She liked her part in the senior play so well she made it her future. In New York she took a train back home to Belleville, New York. 12

We, the class of ’51, ’Pon leaving school and all the fun, Take up our pen and start to write, And put this down in black and white, And put this down in black and white, So, after we have gone to rest, We may have fulfilled our last request.

To THE BOARD OF EDUCATION and THE FACULTY we leave headache pills and nerve medicine along with our gratitude and best wishes for a quick recovery from us during the summer months. To OUR PARENTS goes our whole-hearted thanks for all you have done to provide us with an education and our promise that we will try to use it to its best advantage. To THE JUNIOR CLASS we leave the honor and prestige of being Seniors and our own uncanny knack for skipping school.
