THE PROPHECY Dear Liz: We were all sorry you couldn’t make it to the reunion of the Class of 53, held at Norma Lamb s “Pump Room.” It was the first time we had been together in ten years, and your presence was sorely missed. We have all noted with pride your success on Broadway and we were sorry your new play kept you in New York. As you couldn’t attend the reunion, I thought I’d write and tell you what your former classmates are now doing. The biggest surprise of all is that Charlie Cochrane has just been elected representative from New York’s Third District—cigar and all. Remember how we all used to kid Charlie about being a politician? Strangely enough, the 2 A’s from our class, Jane Asselstine and Lynwood Aller, are now operators of the Double A drive-in. They have quite a thriving business and they employ Pearl Lister to sell tickets and Robert Powell as the man who tells people how to park their cars without taking the sound equipment with them. Now in Norma Lamb’s famous Pump Room are the Seneca Seven led by Bill Mignault. His band consists of Ward Hall, Tom Young, Don Hirsh, Tom DeNeve, Ann Lowery, with its featured attraction, vocalist Janice Earle. The chorus line there is really good and you would recognize many of them as old classmates: Bubbles” Claver, “Cuddles” Brown, “Can-Can” Canino, “Ragtime” Reed and last but not least “Silent” Shirley Gregory. The service here is really efficient. Head waiter Fred Fauler assisted by Dan Geist and Bob Payne serve up the wonderful food of chef Lisle “Pierre” Miller. While enjoying a pause between my meal and the floor show, I began to look around the room and much to my surprise saw that the Class of ’53 was patronizing their former classmate’s establishment quite well. Seated at the main table in the dining room was a host of men and women who are outstanding in their varied fields of endeavor. Giving the principal address was Ronald Patchett, M.D., who is President of the American Medical Association. Attentively listening were Dean Normand and Ted Duxbury; president and vice president respec- tively of American Automobile Manufacturers of America. At the far end of the table, Bill Gifford, well known Industrial Relations man, was mediating a quarrel between John Tappan, president of Amalga- mated Mercury Pushers Union, and John Horner, head of U. S. Thermometer Corporation. Due to the fact that the verbal argument was getting rather hot and heavy, I went out of the dining room and into the lounge where even more of your old classmates were seated. It was quite a thrill to know that so many of our friends have done so well. Sitting in the lounge and arguing over which is the best branch of service were Ensign Claude Reith, U.S.N., 2nd Lieutenant Bill Hirsh, Army, and Major Ed McDermott, U.S.M.C. It would be interesting to point out here that just across the street in the Gong Building, Sports- caster Earl Whitney is giving rare notices to All-American Basketball Players Oley Houghtaling and Art Peters. By the way, Gerald Gallup and Wayne Trew plan to be out your way pretty soon with their Wild West Show. What did you think of the Four Bees winning the American Bowling Congress Title? Len Davis, Ray Bresee, Paul Premo, and Bob Zimmer were really quite happy and the prize money is nothing to sneeze about. 34
