 SENIOR GRASS PROPHECT OW, as our class is about to graduate and go out into the world with their hopes and plans for the future, we wonder what places in life they will fill and which of the world's burdens will rest on their willing and capable shoulders. So let’s skip over the years and see the mem- tiers of our class in 1942. Joseph Sullivan: Joe’s fiery oratory and shrewd statesmanship have won him a seat in Con- gress where he is busily engaged in curing the nation's governmental ills. Alice Dwyer: Alice is the Honorable Mr. Sullivan's very efficient and capable secretary and deserves much of the credit for his success. Joseph Barilla: Joe has let his hair grow out and has liecome a successful orchestra leader. Catherine Bodley, Stanley Bushneck and Harold White: -These three members of our class now compose one of the world’s most famous teams of adagio dancers. James Roach: Jimmy’s keen sense of humor and ready wit have earned him success and wealth as editor of Ballyhoo.” Louise Buckingham: Louise is now the recognized leader of the New Woodstock’s 400 and the hub of its social whirl. Thomas Kennedy: After passing his apprenticeship with Dutch Ridel, Tom has blossomed forth into a second lloudini and is astounding the world with his feats of magic. Gerald Elmer: Gerald long ago gave up the struggle and settled into the rut of the perfect husband. Adelaide Pangborn: Adelaide has realized her dream of ! ecoming a literary genius and stir- ring the world with her pen: she writes scenarios for Mickey Mouse!” John Walsh: John is in the meat packing business: he is an undertaker. Emma Panning: We had hopes of a better future than this for Emma, but fate does strange things;—she is a cigarette girl in a New York cafe. Harold GREEN: Harold is a traveling salesman and, despite any stories you may have heard of the members of this profession, is an honorable and respectable young man. Leif Espenas:—This handsome member of our class has commercialized his masculine charm and become a gigolo supplying romance to middle-aged women whom love has passed by. Marian Davies:—Marian is now one of America’s most sought-after artist’s models. Patrick Ryan:—Pat has made good in a bad way. He has amassed a huge fortune thru his operations as a big time gambler and beer baron and now enjoys the distinction of being the village’s public enemy number one. Nancy Hankin: We always thought that Nancy was not really as quiet and demure as she ap- peared and we were right. She is now hostess in one of Broadway’s best known night clul s. Percy Stanford:—Percy is a big butter and egg man and president of the local branch of the Dairymen’s League. Gwyneth Burns: After a sensational rise, Gwyneth is being acclaimed by Hollywood as the most promising discovery of the year, a rival for Garbo’s throne. Her exotic beauty has taken the fans by storm and she is well on her way to stardom. Donald Doyle: Donald is still in the drug business; he is running an opium den in San Fran- cisco's Chinatown. Florence Totman: I am sure you will Ik surprised to learn that even in this modern age there are still some of those fine, old-fashioned girls who prefer the role of wife and mother to a career. Florence has sacrificed her personal ambitions to become a farmer’s wife and the mother of a family of true, red-blooded young Americans. over) Twenty-three HIlllUHl —I—Mill 111 ■■■■
