THE CLASS PROPHECY or The Voice of the Turtle Some time .ago I was 'informed that I had volunteered to write the annual class prophecy for Edinboro High School's yearly pamphlet. After much research on the subject, and with the very able assistance of the noted fortune-teller, Dr. Hassenflaffer, who was kind enough to consult his crystal ball in order to help me, I was able to get a vivid picture of what each of us would be doing ten years from now. It did not take much time to arrange this prophecy, b.ecause rather than travel all around the world searching for classmates and possibly being accused of being a fellow traveler, I just put down the names of each graduate of the class of 48 in alphabetical order and followed each name with Dr. Hassenflaffer's prediction. The one who always occupied the front seat in our class is Charles Alward. In 1958 he will still be working with dairy products and will be aiectionately known by the com-mon he.ard as old Icy Fingers. His fame will be due to having perfected the dairyman's hand-shake to a fine art. Then comes Leonard Alward, who will b.e a lawyer honorably defending his cases fof Pabst Blue Ribbonj. Next is the keystone of the class. I don't intend to mention his name because I'm too modest to say all the good things th.at I would have to say to do myself justice. -Will you please excuse me for a minute? Well, here I am again, I just had to get a drink. Arthur Budzowski in ten years will be in charge of a large nursery, he always did like babies! Jimmy Burawa will still be buying refills for his Toni wave, and doing push-ups to make his stature match his de.ep bass voice. Frank Fish will be a very successful plow jockey and own one of the biggest spreads in Erie and Crawford counties. Then, of course, Walt 'Ghering will follow a life similar to his father's. He will prevent disease from spreading and promote health by driving a truck for the Department of Sanitation. Dr. Hassen- flaffer saw a great future for Ardell Hayes four illustrious class presidentj as a traveling salesman. Now the farmer's daughters really have something to worry about. Next, Dr. Hassenflaffer and I considered the case of Don Hoig who, we found, twill be a big business tycoon, with Rolls Royces and Chauffeurs and Cadillacs .and Buicks: one for each day of the week. Ted Hutchison is one who can have anything said about him, and it will not hurt his feelings, so, ten years from now, he will be one the best umpires in the international sports world. Red King, after years of experimenting and trying new formulas, will finally End a soup that you can eat with a fork. He will be known as The Soup King. Jesse Koon in 1958 will have ,a Gross of little Koons. Harold Kingsley will have a Ford in his future and fconfidentially, girlsj I think there's a future in his Ford! Frank Nicholls started out in 1948 with only two rabbits, and do you know how many he'll have in 1958? Two. They were both fe-males. If anyone has read this far into the prophecy I want to thank him for herj personally, and tell him for herl that the small medal at the bottom of the page is his Cor herj reward for valor. Jimmy Pontious, who is .everybody's friend, Will follow in the footsteps of his famous grandfather. Norman Sauers is going to move to Indiana so that he can be near the speedways. Joseph Sedor has finally reformed and is going to teach English Literature, especially Shakespearean plays. Andrew Sheets is going to be a Jack-of-all-trades and will hold down not one., but several jobs. It will be a long time before another guy as efficient as Sheets bustles around Edinboro High School. Now we start with the girls, and boy! will this be fun! Bette Baker is first on the list, simply because there are no girls' names in the class th.at begin with A. In 1958 Bette will still be trying to bring back the old look -meaning short skirts. Ruth Belt, our gift from Mahaffey, Pennsylvania, will have realized her fondest wish and attained the height of 5 feet 13 inches. Bernice Barnes will be a very happily married woman with a lot of little Internationals following her around. Janet Buckowski will be a psychiatrist's psychiatrist. Dr. Hassenflaifer said she could psychoan- alyze him anytime. Charline Campbell is going to come back to visit her old Alma Mater every day about

11:25, so that she may visit her old friends, the faculty. Doris Coyle will have just completed her famous book, What to do With the Boring 99175 of the Class Period, or There's a New Moon On the Door. Bette Crozier's ambition will have been fulfilled by 1958. She will have the former Miss oy for a sister-in-law. Helen Cupak will go skating every night and she'll really have something to slow for it. One million ticket stubs from various skating rinks. A quick and efficient way of bookkeeping books will be devised by Charlotte Eastman, her plan is to grasp the' covers firmly between th thumb and foreiinger of each hand and press them firmly toward each other. Lois Fetteroif will h ve just finished reading Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. In a review of the book she will say, Th author had a wonderful vocabulary, and the book has interesting illustrations, but the plot was weak. Pat Flynn always said that she wanted to swing across the gym on a long rope. In ten years she'll be work- ing in Tarzan pictures. ' Someone who read the notes I had on this prophecy said that only a fool would read it, which encouraged me very much. Since one is born every minute there should be quite a few who get a kick out of it. Everyone has heard of the book Who's Who. Well, one of our classmates, Mona Folmar, will have her name in a similar book What's This. Marjory Freeman will have developed her own scheme of life and be carrying it out quietly, saying little but doing much. Donna fHamiltonJ Wright has always been at the head of her class. One of her greatest achievements has been learning to write Wright right. Margaret Harned has a wonderful job waiting for her .as a beachcomber. She will not consider it a very profitable job, because, as soon as she has it all nicely combed, the waves come in and muss it up. Dr. Hassenflaffer sees Erika Henke in the future as a nurse, and -murmurs this warning, Doctors and nurses bury their mistakes. Dorothy Holowach has realized her lifelong .ambition and is wlvorking for the telephone company. Now she can really be called a big time operator. The bathing b auty of 1958 will still be an Esther-not Esther Williams, but Esther Lloyd. Gust ask Kingsley.J Our Elpalented fellow student Lorene Lodge will b.e making her debut at the Met, and we will find Vera McAtee taking notes on Dale Carnegie's book How To Win Friends and Influence People. Everyone has some remarkable characteristic about him, as for Jenny Nason, she will still be remarkable for her red hair. Ruth Peters will not only master P. O. D. but will be teaching it in 1958. Pearl Soltesz will be pleased to hear that, about 1958, someone will leave a tip for her at the Dairy Bar. Mary Ann Skalko will be a gym instructor. fWe wonder what Jim.J Beatrice Tau will have her study in cooking rewarded. She will be head chef at the Brown Deby. When Dr. Hassenflafer made that prediction he- said he wasn't talking thru his hat. Barbara Tuttle is the girl who never lets her school work interfere with her studies. In 1958 she will be an exp.ert typist, and I'm not ribbon you there. Reva Werren will not only be an excellent cook and a wonderful housewife, but her ch.ances look good for becoming a Baker. Charlotte W'indsor will have been in many picturesg her latest may be seen on her mother's dresser, Doris Zindel will probably be either' a math or a music teacher, and sh.e'll have a new Buick with collapsible fenders and all the other new gadgets. I feel that in finishing this I should mention something about the teachers who have endured us these past few years. I really think they'v.e been swell sports. I'm not going to say anything about our class being the best that ever graduated from Edinboro High School for three reasons. In the first place, bec.ause Pm not one to blow my own horn. In the second place, because there isn't enough space, and in the third place, because everyone knows we are in the Hrst place. Your author, Ellis Atkinson
