Class Prophecy The year is 1960! The day is June 24! Yes, fourteen years ago today graduation exer- cises were held, and today we find that class hold- ing a reunion. The class has all turned out success- fully. The reunion is being held in the now large mining center of the North—South Colton. Yes, there are the fourteen on the front lawn of Paul Mittelstaedt’s beautiful home. He is now Physical Ed. Instructor at the new Colton-Pierre- pont Central School. Paul’s wife is bringing a tray of refreshments. She was the pert, little blonde of the class, Ann Thomas. The tray of refreshments is now passed to James Corcoran who is a multi-millionaire and owner of a large night club in New York City. We find he has as his secretary Grace Sevey, who was the quietest person in the class of ’46. Marion Thomas is now an attractive Social Stud- ies Teacher at the New Colton-Pierrepont Central School. The tray goes on and stops in the hands of two handsome men—Fred McEwen and Kenneth Perkins who own the large airport in Colton. We doubt if the tray will go on, if these men are as fond of eating as they used to be; but it does—and Margaret Perkins, who was the youngest in class and won the rating of “Prettiest” girl in school two years in succession, passes the tray to Florence Fisher. Margaret and Florence are nurses and are working as superintendents in the large hospital in Colton. Judy Sullivan, who is fourth from the end of the line, has reached her goal as a Chemist in the lab- oratory of the local hospital. We see Judy talking to Theresa Hayes, who owns the Hayes Dress Shop in Chicago. She has two models from the class— Margaret Alford and Mavis Leonard. These girls are looking forward to becoming Power’s Models. Finally, the tray stops in front of Virginia Ray- mond who is still in South Colton happily waiting to occupy the highly desirable position of a South Col- ton housewife! The tray has made the full circle, so have we. Refreshments are done and so is the prophecy of the class of ’46. Fame of ”46 In the pleasant town of Colton, Situated on a hill, Stood the former Colton High School Cool and quiet, calm and still. Though a new school now is standing In a not too distant place, ’Twas the former school was famous For “Seniors-46’s” pace! All the graduates were successful, In abilities were high; Scientific research flourished, Through our genius alumni. So those who chance to pass this way, May stop and stare; they may well mix Some awe with admiration, for Here graduated ’46! Virginia Raymond.
