CLASS PROPHECY I am Foudinithe Great. Today I am pleased to foretell the future of the class of 1957. As I look into my crystal ball, the years roll by and finally the numbers 1982 come through clearly. There is aroom with many men. On the door isa sign ‘ Teachers Only’’. The subject for discussion is Should we have a ten o’clock coffee break?’’ Tom Krajewski and Don Savory, heads of the poultry and the horticulture departments respectively, are very much in favor. Charlie Mahar, diary head man, is holding out for a milk break. Alden Carter, Edu- cational Manager, thinks the time should be used for a study period. The picture fades before a definite solution to the problem is found. Here is another picture. Many people are in a hall and a man is pounding with a hammer. No, it isa gavel. In the background is a banner, Massachusetts Dairy Association. As the picture comes into focus, the bald-headed man pounding the gavel leans heavily on his crutches. President John McCarthy, employed at the artificial insemination farm in Shewsbury, is calling for order. The gal taking notes is Secretary Betty Jackman, who operates Mumpsy’s Guernsey Farm. Seated inthe hall are John MacDonald, foreman for Hoods, and Pete Bonin who is herdsman at the State Hospital. They are shooting the breeze with Bob DesRoches and Dick Ellis, co-owners of the Des Ellis Milk Co. The speaker for the day is Fred Kilmartin of U.S.D.A. fame. His topic, ‘SHow to make cows produce chocolate flavored milk’’, is extremely interesting. Incidentally, Fred, a heavy stockholder in the Burshey Chocolate Co., advises feeding choco- late to the cows. Here comes another picture, a very familiar scene of the campus at the University of Massachusetts. A group of the big brass, the V.I.P’s, are getting to- gether. Secretary of Agriculture Gerry Lauzon, Attorney General Tom Briggs and former All American and present Head Football Coach Ted Pikul are reminiscing with Professors Bill Hull and Arnold Spicer who head the dairy and hatchery departments at the U. of M. Gerry brings regards to the gang from the President of the United States, Al Doucette, who is very busy playing golf. Gerry also brought news of General Richard F. McManus of the Marines and Rear Admiral Robert G. Stevenson. Dick made a name for himself by making it mandatory for every Marine Faces and places revolve. Ah! I see Essex Aggie. to eat chicken every Sunday. Bob’s fame came from his order that the Waves would fight all future wars. He argued that no man ever won an argument with a woman so let’s use the first team, Bill Hull mentioned that Chuck Amerio and Georgie Podgie Henderson were working at the Experimental Station. Arnold brought up the news that Pete Muller had just been named president of Wirthmore Feed and the new prexy immediately named Paul Johnson as head salesman. Ted Pikul said he had seen Pete Tiger’’? Foulkes playing goalie forthe Bruins in Boston. He also bumped into Tom Colton at the game. Tom manages Doc Eastwood’s farm in Danvers spe- cializing in goats’ milk. The next picture begins as a sign, The Night Owl. As the picture develops I see a night club and behind the cash register sits curly locks, Ken Mead. The food cannot be too good for Ken still looks as though a good breeze would blow him over. Through the double doorway, made special for them, come Tom Bentley and Karl Magnuson, owners of a greenhouse and landscape business. Ken gives them the glad hand and leads them to the tables reserved for the gang. Already there are Dave Snell, florist from Haverhill, George McKie, DuPont’s head scientist, Norm Nault and Ron Brazas, boss mechanics at Vernon’s Tractor and Farm Implement Co. Of course, the queen at the table is Connie Welenc who is making a pretty penny from her chainof greenhouses scattered along the coast from Boston to Portland. Ed Bridge, manager of Connie’s Portland branch, could not make the reunion because of the press of business. Al Gates comes in late and whispers to Connie, ‘We made five C’s today in the Winthrop store. Dick Kawadler was elected Mayor of the city and every- one was sending a basket to the new chief exec.”’ Al is very interested in Connie’s business for they file a joint income tax return. This time I see trees. Ronny Parsons, the boss forest ranger at Parker State Forest, is climbing one and Paul Kelley is climbing another. Paul’s tree is a new variety of strawberry tree which he, as head of the Aggie fruit department, had to invent because it was too dfficult to kneel. Another picture comes through to me. Five men are sitting on stools at a diner. These men have joined forces and now operate the largest florist and landscape service in the county. Billy Wood, Dave Hall, Charlie Varney, Al Hancock and Andy Darisse are celebrating their merger in a very familiar way -- morning coffee. The story of the class of ’57 begins and ends on the same note -- morning coffee. Maybe this is a good omen for the future. Remember -- the crystal ball never fails. Foudini the Great
