Ca i. ' P ' uyfr6ecy Time: 1972 Setting: Teachers Lounge of Bellingham’s new High School. Enter: Miss McKenna and Mr. Trudeau Miss M.: Have you read today’s article on Jimmy Eames’flight to the moon? Mr. T.: Y es, I have. What a spectacular feat that was! We certainly can be proud of him. Miss M.: That’s for sure! It also gives me great pleasure to know that Joseph Whalen and Dennis Roy were in charge of the entire flight. What great engineers they have become. Mr. T.: Come to think of it. quite a few of our former students have chosen careers in the Armed Services. Miss M.: That’s true. A1 Laime and Howie Gabaree have just been named to lead the Blue Angels in their daredevil stunts. Mr. T.: I wouldn’t doubt it; they’ve been such close friends. Miss M.: And then there’s Fred Streeter and Richard Ridolfi who have just completed a two- year experiment in suboceanic living. Mr. T.: It must have taken a good deal of courage to endure such an ordeal for that length of time. Miss M.: By all means! And I understand it has solved many perplexing problems in Ted McFall’s program of underwater civilization. Mr. T.: It has also proven Virginia Rhodes’ theory that man can adapt to such an environ¬ ment. As a nurse in the Navy, she is very much interested in this project due to the recent population boom. Miss M.: Thank goodness the educational facilities have been able to keep up with the ever- increasing number of students. Mr. T.: Speaking of education, did you know that Lorraine Gladu has been appointed Dean of Women at the University of Bellingham? Miss M.: Yes, I did. I’ve always said she was a born leader. Remember Lucille Desmarais and Connie Giordano? They are now accomjDlished English professors at the Univer¬ sity. Mr. T.: Oh really? I wasn’t aware of that, but I do know that Dick Briere has just received his Ph.D. in Chemistry, and that he is now in charge of a research program. Miss M.: Isn’t that the program in which a drug is being sought to halt the aging process of the human body? Mr. T.: That’s right, and also playing a great part in the program is Marilyn Gavasso, the best noted biologist of the age. Miss M.: Do you believe that such a drug will ever be discovered? Mr. T.: Well, sure hope so. My back has really been bothering me lately. Miss M.: Why don’t you go down to Marchand’s Pharmacy and get a prescription? Virginia is the head pharmacist there. Mr. T.: Oh, is that right? Say, do you realize how many of our former students now operate their own businesses? Sue Laprade, for instance, manages the famous “School of Modern Hairstyling.” Miss M.: And then there’s the “G G Commercial Building” owned by Donald Grenier and Reggie Graves. It houses the offices of such successful people as Paul Szuflicki and Robert Chase, world renowned commercial artists. Mr. T.: Also, there is “Gaboury’s Plumbing Enterprises” owned by our mayor Roger Ga- boury. I never thought that he would hold such a high position in politics. He was so misunderstood in high school! W 20

Linda entered our school in 1957 as an 8th grader; this was her Junior year in high school. We, therefore have reserved her place in our EPILOGUE for 1962.

Miss M.: Dick Kornicki is also a prominent citizen. He has attained great wealth through his chain of package stores, which is under the supervision of Gerald Baillargeon. Mr. T.: They are all to be commended in their success, Jackie Dalpe and Priscilla Thibeault included, for they are private secretaries to the President and Vice-President respec¬ tively. Miss M.: Oh, by the way, I was speaking to Mrs. Goryl yesterday, and she told me Jackie just had another baby. Mr. T.: Well, I ’m not surprised at that. She always said she wanted to settle down quietly with ten children. Miss M.: It certainly appears as though her wish was granted. No wonder Marion Bruce opened a local nursery—why she could amass a fortune on Jackie’s family alone! Mr. T.: Speaking of children, have you read the latest best seller on child psychology, “Kiddie Capers,” written by the noted authority, Agnes Lee? Miss M.: No, but I will make a point of reading it; after all, Agnes was one of my star psychology pupils in high school, along with Pam Kornicki. Mr. T.: Is she also engaged in that type of work? Miss M.: No, she is employed as a physical therapist, working together with Sue Lavallee in the children’s ward of the new hospital. Mr. T.: Do you mean the hospital that was designed by architect Kenny Mowry and con¬ structed by Roger Remillard and Roger Rattie, the famed contractors? Miss M.: Yes, and besides Pam and Sue, it also employs Bob Rhoads and Dick Tuttle—elec¬ tronic technicians who install and maintain all those modern pieces of medical equip¬ ment. Mr. T.: Well, there’s the bell. We’d better be getting back to class and continue our work in turning out more successes. Miss M.: Well, we have a high goal to reach, because this has been an exceptionally suc¬ cessful class.
