SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY October 12, 1963 Just ten years ago this month, the United Nations held its first General Assembly in the U N’s new World Capitol. The thirty-nine floor Secretariat Building, the General Assembly, the Conference Building, the Library and all the other parts of this mammoth institution combine to form a city in itself. The careers of eighteen Bement High School graduates were launched and the new IJ. N. building opened, both in the same year. The people of the class of 1953 went many different directions upon graduation — some to the army, some to college, and some just went. Here they are ten years later and. believe it or not, they've all found employment in the new U. N. Building. No longer does Mr. Vishinsky storm the halls with his bombastic speeches, but now Kent Siders, U. S. Delegate, “roars out bis policies with fiery enthusiasm. Looking into the maintenance and operational crews, we find Gene Schum and Dan Scott riding a sixty foot scaffold washing vast areas of glass. John Hannon is supervisor of the three-floor, twelve-hundred-car subterranean garage. Many a Cadillac has had its beautiful finish marred. Working as general supervisors of the Secretariat Building, Joyce Day, Janet McCollum, and Jean McHenry are kept busy turning the handles of some one hundred fifty mimeograph machines. Ann Perkins sits all day and pushes books from the library into a pneumatic tube which sends them thirty feet per second to the Secretariat Building. Eva Strater found that many government men use the elevators. so she got a job ns an elevator operator. Young men in politics travel her elevator frequently. Jerry Fleming, sound engineer, listens all day through his earphones to speeches in all languages. Once in a while he turns a knob, but it looks like a pretty soft job. Kay Crlnigan has learned to speak five languages fluently. She can translate a Russian speech into English faster than the speaker can talk. John Fuqua sits back in his delegate's chair and selects the speech translation he wants by just turning a knob. Linda Byerline is head receptionist on the twenty-eighth floor of the Secretariat Building. Between obligations, she drinks coffee which is piped into her desk. Sonya Clark carefully dry cleans the Mags. Her job is done at night, and by the time she finishes with the complete group it is time to begin again. Dale Turner is the chief cook in the huge cafeteria. He has been serving horse meat for six months and no one knows it yet. Ray Hannon is recording director. He makes and files recordings of every speech. They have had to watch him recently because he has been adding his own versions to a few of Malenkov's speeches. Dave Hawkins and Richard Strater Join the staff of one hundred thirty porters who cater to the big shots. When the President's brief-case came up missing a while back. Richard and Dave made a frantic but successful search. The President added $50 to the national budget to reward them. Everyone agrees that the U. N. Building is the largest and most modorn work shop In the world, and wow! What a staff it employs!
