Class Prophecy I'm a dreamer, aren't we all? Just a dreamer, aren't we all? In my dreams last night it seemed That my classmates came to call. HE day was clear, the sun was bright, but there was a strangeness about our surround- ings. I could scarcely realize all that had happen- ed in the past ten years. We were in an airplane and had with us a very powerful telescope which Marion Bilstein and her efficient secretary, Margaret Carley, had invented in their laboratory. With this telescope we were -able to see the individuals in the world below and as our eyes swept the scene., we saw many of our classmates. We were somewhere in the vicinity of Short Hills, .New Jersey, and could see Violet Horak fMrs. .Harold Debbiej sending her young son and daugh- 'ter to school. About a mile down the road we saw Florence Weber fwhose married name has slipped my mindj sending her twins to school, also. We could see Jone Howard with her sunny disposition, 'waiting to start their day in the right way. Jone seems to have to be in school to be happy. We were flying to Chatham to attend an Alumni meeting, and as we passed Epstein's in Morristown, we were interested to see Janet Budd, personal buy- er, and the two attractive fashion designers, Mary Brockie and Edith Lilieholm, discussing the future styles. Along came Penny Carpenter, Parisian buy- er, to add her viewpoint to the subject. Over there in the dress department we found Margery Hitchen, Helen Smart, and Jessie Whitehead, three of Ep- stein's most attractive models. In one office going over Epstein's books was Betty Kofel, C.P.A., and in another were several hard-working secretaries, Carmel Rillo, Hazel Gunsel, Frances Monticello, and Edith Ekander. The meeting was held at Alumni Hall in C. H. S., which had recently been completed. This meeting served a two-fold purpose: as a class reunion and as an opportunity for the faculty to see whether they would recommend James Clingen as an Eng- lish teacher, and Becky Allen, Bobbie Whitman, and Priscilla White as new gym teachers. Two new buildings have been added to dear old C. H. S. L24 The town surely is growing. The meeting was opened by a speech by none other than Craig Allen, Mayor of New York City and our former class president. Later we had a roll call and report of the whereabouts of the members of the alumni. Some were reported as follows: Jane Bartholomae-dietitian at Cornell Medi- cal Center where Dot Triolo is superin- tendent of nurses.
