young junior executives around. That's putting courses in business administration to good use! Famed for the design and construction of ultra-modern houses, Jon Anderson is now reknown as America's foremost architect. Janet Maxwell and Jackie Burrill, the Florence Nightingale's of the Class of '54, recently assisted Dr. I. M. Nuty in the first installation of sealed beam lights in man. No more fiashlights! Aren't they clever? Dwight Wall, world-famous columnist and commentator, recently announced that Pete Ottowitz has been awarded the T.I.V.H.T.D. award for his scientific con- tributions to agriculture. Angela Magno's face shone happily as she told me of her debut at the Metropolitan Opera. And, she asked if I had heard of the success Mary Lou Wahlstedtis musical talent had brought her. The bright neon signs of a huge theater drew my eye - Viseskis' Varieties they read. Cathee's biggest drawing card is the trio of Helen Kowalsky, Barbara Johnson, and Joan Kearney. Such comediennes. Their salaries, l'm told, are saved for summer vacations at the beach. Elly Sampson and Bruce Hale have combined their work experience and opened a car washing business. We clean 'em cleaner faster is their slogan. Vivid headlines blazed their way across the smiling face of Betty Williams. I wonder if the present administration will recover from her blistering editorial attacks. Jackie Walsh and Tom Daly, after twenty years of prospecting, finally struck it rich and are now considered the most eligible bachelors in the Upper Yukon. Go to 'em girls! Ann Hansling and Lois Hall are operating an exclusive ladies apparel shop, famed for its chic in New York. Judy Morgan and Terry Hood are two of their socially prominent clientele. Turning to Ruth Creswell,s picture I was greeted by a little boy who said his mother wasn't home and anyhow she was too busy cleaning house to buy anything from a pesty salesman. Goodbye! Brad Ames confidently predicts a clean sweep for his team if his boys put into use all that he's taught them. Uh-huh. Louisa Bailey greets dowdy women entering her beauty salon and bids them goodbye when they emerge, beautiful, after her three-hour beauty treatment. .The tune of a popular hit filled the air as I looked at Gene Archambault's picture. Future idol of the teens! Joanne Jacobs' top-flight secretarial ability has won her a job fposition, you'd call itl with the prosperous business tycoon, Shelden Radin. He manufactures lollypop sticks. Doris Smith and Janet Dellert recently completed a tour of France, at last realizing their life-long ambition. They enjoyed their high school French so much, l'm told, they felt they just hadn't lived till they'd gone. Howard Painter's best seller , How to Get Rich Without Working, has sold more than one million copies. Howdie's one person who practices what he preaches! The same sympathy and understanding which endeared Shirley Roane to her classmates in school has caused her to be named Mother of the Year . Annamae Fricke has certainly proved her mettle as a super-efficient business woman. Part of her millions have provided Bloomfield with a new high school - at last! Bring 'em Back Bolliger has just set out for the wilds of Africa. This time he intends to trap pink anteaters fto match his shirtj . Ooops'. There goes my pince-nez! Smashed completely! Now'll I'll never know what became of the others - teachers and underclassmen. Well, I'm a mite tired any- way. Not that l'm not just as spry as I used to be, mind you, but . . . JOYCE MERCIER Class Prophet 3

JACQUELINE BURRILL Class Testator CLASS PROPHECY When I was fortyish and hardly fat at all, in fact, quite well-preserved, I grew weary of wandering through life in a myopic haze fthat means I couldn't see well, in fact, it means I could hardly see at alll. Deciding to get glasses, I went immediately and was outfitted for a pince-nez, which I tucked in my pocketbook, and then went home. Dropping into a chair, I took off my shoes fl wish low heels were in fashion, not that I don't bear up just as well as I used to, you understand, I just happen to like low heelsj. Anyway, I settled back, gazing about the room. Something bright, about three feet away, caught my eye - a vivid green square - green and square, on the . . . I felt around. . . bookcase. Ah! My class book! Adjusting my pince-nez, which was perfectly safe as no one was at home, I picked up the book and turned the pages lovingly, gazing upon my former classmates. There's Muriel! Dear Muriel! I thought fondly. You were always - why look at all those children about her! I didn't know she was even interested in anyone then. And even if she had been - oh, my! - I quickly turned the page. I came upon Ronnie Marinaccio who seemed to have pie splashed all over his face. I bent a little closerg my nose was now touching the page. Was that really Ron? Oh, sure! l looked from the glasses and looked again at the page. Suddenly light dawned. Muriel had achieved her ambition to become a teacher, and Ron always had been a comedian. My glasses simply enabled me to look ahead to see what had become of my friends. I turned the pages as fast as I could, anxious to learn more. Here is what-I found: Pat Gregaitis sitting behind a big desk in a modern-ofiice ordering handsome 2
