Class Prophecy Due to the fact that some of the seniors of 1948 have become so famous, and have brought such fame to their home town, I, Mary Masten, thought perhaps it would be interesting to see what all of them are doing, so after much hard work I was able to find out something about each of these students of old Era High School.
