CLASS PROPHECY Ten years ago it was D-day at the Aggie for the senior class of '65. It was a tough four year battle, but we managed to get through, Now, here we are at our first class reunion, so let's see what the class has accomplished. I see Mr. Mike Mascovitz has taken over Mr. White's job as Educational Manager. There's Dave Smith, our old class president, and he looks very happy. He owns a Super Cow that's worth a million. She lays eggs, gives milk and makes Swiss cheese. James Newton owns his own stock car factory. He's manufacturing clunkers with the number 427 on all of them. John Peel is head of ''Kill It or Make It laboratories. Last week during an experi- ment he blew up his million-dollar industry. Doctor Kevin Keenan is a psychiatrist out at the University. He is psychoanalyzing chickens. He wants to know the reason why they don't lay more eggs. Paul Lynch is teaching Cub Scouts to shoot foul shots for their merit badges. He's their grand leader. Bob Shaw is the president of the You Soak It Up sponge plant. He's really making the greenbacks. Sal Frasca owns his own judo school, with Pete Sanborn as his assistant. They are both in the hospital with broken hands from trying to split toothpicks in half. Roger Cote has gone into the vegetable business with Mr. Meuse and specializes in selling condemned vegetables to the school cafeteria. Marion Norcross and her husband Don from the Culinary Arts School own their own bakery selling pastries with the Coakely cookie touch. Pat Grove, now Pat Arathuzik, is living with her husband at the 'In Debt Loan Company. Petey Le Blanc made the headlines the other day. He went up in a spectacular display of flames and fireworks as he tried to photograph the technicalities of a fireworks factory with a gunpowder flashbulb. Jack Shimanoski is running a Burned Apples for Vitamins health store and every February he enters some apple ashes in the F.F.A. science fair. Ron Osborne is a poultry inspector down in Georgia now, but he seems to like inspecting those Southern Belles better. I wonder why. John Dorman is back down in Maine now. He's president of ''Eat a Maine French Fry company. Joe Russell is the owner of a clothing factory manufacturing baggy Navy pants and driving his hot Rambler on the side as a getaway car for the Boston underworld. Bill Howarth owns a brownie factory. They call him Brown Bill. He simonizes noses on the side. John Kukene runs a lonely hearts bureau in New York, but he hasn't met another lonely heart yet. Jim Shevlin is a butterfat tester and taster at ''Eat a Ball of Butter Daily, Inc. Wayne Morgan is a renowned professor at the University of Miami. He is teaching underwater basket weaving to dolphins as well as Flipper and his crew. Tom or Reverend Mikulis is the new Parson and head leader of the Black National- ists Movement. Dan Barry is the forest manager of Yellowstone National Park with a load of freedom riders as a maintenance crew. John Thompson is a guide leading expeditions through the Andes. No wonder he hasn't been seen since the first trip. Bill Freitag just took over the payments on Cobbis Poultry Farm. He's still trying to get that '58 Ford of his running. Get a Chevy Bill.
