CLASS PROPHECY Little did I know when I took the job os postmistress, so that I could get my stamps at a dis- count for letters to that certain soldier, that one day while taking charge of the mail I would find a card inviting me to the alumni banquet celebrating the 20th year since my gra duation from C.C.S. The next week I arrived for that momentous occasion and was surprised to see all my class- mates there and while talking to them I found out that most of them had become successful. I wasn’t surprised to learn that Gert Johnson had become very prosperous with her cat form. I also learned that Fred Tierney had become a very well-known surgeon and that he and his two assistant nurses, Mary Loucks and Joan Everts, are campaigning for a hospital to be built in Chittenango. Lately we have heard a lot about one of our classmates and have seen him on television feo- tured in the sports world. He is Phil Dwyer, who has just been named the season’s most popular wrestler. Allen Featherly has also made the headlines in the sports world. He is now the champion midget auto racer. It was nice to hear that Zone De Forest has made a hit on Broadway as a great Shakespearean actor. Zone acquired most of his acting obility by reading or maybe by struggling through Mac- beth in English IV. It was nice to see two of my classmates back at their old Alma Mater as school teachers. Jay Button has been doing very well as coach at Chittenango and Carol Hatch is having a big year as music teacher planning for her concert. Louis Fuller has become well-known through his newly elected position as president of the C.I.O. Louis has always been capable of managing things and people! Beverly Wesseldine is doing quite well as Assistant Editor to the New York Times. Bev was well qualified for the job os she hod learned much about ti os Assistant Editor of oix newspaper, Whispers. It is well known to all that Minnie Wilcox has become a very successful housewife on that certain farm on Brinkerhoff. June Bender and Sally Burke are doing quite well as the new proprietors of the White Star Cabins. But every now and then June has a tough time getting Sally up in the morning to start work. I was glad to hear that Jack Egelston's long awaited dream has finally come true. He has just completed the last store of his numerous ones in Oneida. Jack always did enjoy Oneida. Frank Warren has become a very successful mechanic. He now owns and operates his own Texaco Gas Station. Donald Loope, who always enjoyed taking trips to Sherrill, now has his own .bus line between Chittenango and Sherrill. Four Star General Jimmy Brownell was appointed by the president of the United States as commander-in-chief of the rockets to the moon. Rosie Boeckle now has her own afternoon television show, to teach housewives to become superb cooks! To my surprise I found that a few of my classmates are still having difficulties. Wesley Van Dyke is still going up to the North Woods to try to shoot that deer. I hope you shoot it soon, Wesley. And it seems that Joan Tierney is still trying to develop some suitable clothing for ‘easy going people . Russell Barrus ond Ivie Kirk are still having difficulties trying to keep their cars running. Something is always happening to them. Either they are without a license or they have been in a wreck on some desolate road. It seems that Doug Minor still hasn’t decided between becoming a welder in his father’s busi- ness or a dealer in Ford cars. At the close of the banquet, which was a big success, I returned to my small job as postmis- tress to await the following year when I might again be surprised to find a card in the mail invit- ing me to the alumni banquet at C.C.S.
