BOYS’ PROPHECY While sitting back reading the Maple of the class of 1962, I've just realized that 10 years have passed since I've seen my old classmates. I think I'll take the day off and see how they are all making out. Well, how about that, Bob Buchanan is head of the Farm Bureau down at Waltham, Talking with him is Steve Pretanik; you see Steve is the warehouse manager and they are getting things straightened out about hiring boys from the Aggie for the coming summer. Over on the highway I see that Ray Bessom owns a scooter company. Business is really booming. Ha! Look who the mechanics are-Stan Fishman and Mark Wettingil. You couldn't beat that if you tried, Harold Bowden and Charlie Grigoreas are still over at the Waltham field station grinding away. Charlie is the foreman now, but Harold is still just a worker making a tremendous income of $65 per week, Have fun men! Down at the Aggie I see Paul McNaughton is the head of the Fruit Department. Paul tells me that Tom Nowell has a tobacco farm down in Alabama and is making a slight profit of about $20,000 per week, Tom sits behind a desk with a cigar in his mouth and tells his foreman Verne Hardenbrook to tell his workers what to do, No hoe for Tom, Wow! Look whose teaching Driver's Education; it's Lloyd Campbell. I see Lloyd is having alittle trouble with one of the student drivers, but Lloyd tells him to stay calm and rel ax because when he started out, he was the same way. Good luck Lloyd! What's that, sign I see? Philip Lebednik, Educational Manager? Yep, I guess that's right. Phil is fighting hard to get some new buildings for the campus. George Grant is the head of the Dairy Department and, as you know, George is not happy unless someone else is sad or mad; so he gives the students 2 hours of homework every night, Nice guy.” I see that Paul Johnston and Dick Perron have gone into partnership in the dairy business; it has all the modern conviences, Don't work too hard, men! Bert Cole is making out quite well with a hatchery over in Ipswich, and look whom he's talking with, Don Gilday! Yousee Don is a gentleman farmer and he has a few chickens onhis place about which he is getting some information. Down the road I see that Mr. William Carroll has gone into the turkey dressing business. I wonder how he ever got into that. Ronnie Tilton, Bob Nihan and Dick Churchill have just signed a 10 year contract with the Boston Bruins. Boy, those fellows really love to skate. Lots of luck, boys, Well, well, look who has gone into the Restaurant business, Walter Lunt and Dick Lee. Dick has a lot of work to do, waiting on customers, sweeping floors; washing windows, cooking, etc. while Walter sits in the back eating all the profits up. Frank Poitras and Paul Sweeney have gone into the greenhouse business. Business is really good, but the doctor bills are high. Paul is always bumping into the ceiling. I guess that we will either have to raise or he will have to shrink. Bernie E, J. Levesqus is the head of Essex County Co-Op in Topsfield, Right now he is trying to figure out how many boys he will hire from the Aggie this summer, He won't hire people off the street because he can get boys from the Aggie for $.50 per hour. Ha! Ha! Have fun E, J.
