We have enjoyed our school and our teachers. Our class advisors are Mr. Roger Ciufo and Mr. Stuart Rist. We have had many activities. The first one was a square dance party. We appreciated Mr. and Mrs. Allison for furnishing the records. The class was very fortunate in selling magazines. We came in second in having the most profit brought in.. Most of us took part and more than $70 filled our treasury. We won second prize on our float. It was the Jimmy Fund.” It was very nice of Mr. Graves to lend us his truck. Decorations were very nice. We are proud of our class and appreciate the teachers very much. -24-

 With special permission from A1 Capp, who is now residing in upper Rubbleovia, we went to Dog Patch to visit the world-renowned prophet, Old Man Moe, to receive predictions for the future of the members of this class of 1956. We now quote them to you for the year 2000. First, he said that Charlie Pierce has a voice instruction studio in Hollywood, Cal. Of course, it's for girls only. We see that Jim Miele is doing pretty well for himself. He owns a chain of Super Markets. Oh, my! What a pity! It seems that Steve Petelle tried out one of Tom Novak's Hot Rod Rockets and is now recuperating from space amnesia. He’s being well taken care of, however, by a charming registered nurse—Mary Foster. This expedition has gotten Sonny Citro and Jit Scales busy at drawing up plans for Inter-Planetary space runway. We understand that Jeanette Witalec is now designer of Paris fashions and Sandy Stryhas runs a beauty salon. Come on, girls, let's give our classmates some business. Gerry O'Connor was always partial to animals. He is now a veterinarian, caring for warm-blooded seals on the Antarctic Circle. Our basketball player, Tom Perrino, will still be going strong as he enters his second year as top scorer for the Universe Trotters. We all thought Don Graves would sell Buicks, but now it seems he has discovered a uranium mine in Montreal and doesn’t have to work. Let's see! Jean and Joan Wortman and Shirley Wheeler are doing basic training in the WAFS. What’s this? Mildred Pierce is their leader! Come on, girls, step it up! Johan Naess received a degree as an electrical engineer and is now working in the G. E. Ocean Station. Christie Bradley, it seems, liked Plymouth so well that she has a little novelty shop there. We also see that she has a new perfume on display, Grabbo, invented by Bun Green, to lure men. The prophet recommended that we go to Carnegie Hall to rhe concert on Novem- ber 16, 2000. It seems that Phyllis Washburn is to be the concert pianist. We also have a couple of our boys on Broadway. Paul Brown and Larry Baker are Broadwav street sweepers. We wonder if they got their start back in BRHS. Sponsored by SCHMIDT LUMBER CO., Ludlow —26—
