611155 Prophecy By RosE JoDicE After spending ten years in Italy, running my own spaghetti and pizza res- taurant, I immediately flew home upon receiving word that my old U. S. History teacher was finally being married, and I was invited to attend the wedding. I stopped off at my house first, to see how things were. After spending a few hours at home, I decided to take a walk up to Foxboro, and catch up on the doings of my classmates before going to the wedding. As I was walking up the street, I heard a lot of commotion in the woods. To satisfy my curiosity I looked in, and who else did I see but Gypsy Marcia Foster dancing to I Got Bells On My Toes And Rings On My Fingers, with Norman RebeI Allen as the sole audience. Deciding I didn't want to disturb them, I continued my walk up town, and I saw John Engley coming down the street and I observed that he is now a gentleman farmer. All he raises is his hat. We stopped and talked for awhile, and he told me some news about some of my classmates. He tells me that John Cook, and Alan Kivela have started their own beer joint. They now have taken over Nellie's Cafe. Ronny Foster is a comedian. He recently invented a machine into which he puts stale iokes and the result is that they come out new and snappy. Charles Groome is New York's Beau Brumbmel. He is said to rise at 7 A.M. and has written a book entitled The Man About Town. Joe I'm not that type Brigham has established his own dancing school special- izing in the Hot To Trot, Ready To Gallop iitterbug. His only pupil thus far is Barbara l'm still wearing buckles on my shoes Guildford. Elaine LeBaron has been elected National President of the International Ailuro- phile Society. Her pet cat, Blossom, has iust recently retired from the office of membership chairman of the local branch. Doret Newell is the president of the Aching Hearts Club and her staunch members are Phyllis Julius and Catherine McKay. The A.H.C. is for maidens disappointed in love. Their motto is Down With Men. Alice Murphy is now a telephone operator. She simply adores her iob. She can now finish her latest book, Who's Who, and What's New in Foxboro. Well John was in a hurry to tend to his work, so I bade him goodbye and started once more up to Foxboro. My next stop was at the Bay State Drug, where all the gang used to hang out. I spotted Marlene Dolan in there, so I decided I would go in and see how she was. To my surprise I saw her giving three little red-heads cokes, while keeping an eye on a certain big red-headed officer directing traffic outside the Bay State. She was quite surprised to see me, and we sat and talked for awhile. She told me quite a bit about some of my old friends.

She has the odd ability to make beautiful crea- tions out of flour sacks and potato bags. Carolyn Darling has traveled all the way to Mansfield, and is now a secretary at the Mazzini Club. The graduates of Foxboro High really go places. Carol Britton, a wise chemist back in the good old school days, discovered a new element which she used in the manufacture of high explosives. Unfortunately she dropped it, hence she has never been heard from since. lt was time for Marlene's babies to take their naps, so she had to hurry off, telling me she would see me at the wedding. l left the Bay State, and I noticed a store which was advertised as The Forty Niners Beauty Salon. inquiring about this, l was told that Betty Spencer, June Ludwig, and Adrienne Russell had decided to try to beautify the feminine popu- lation of Foxboro. Deciding l didn't want to stop in, l turned my attention to a store front which read Second National Stores, lnc. Jack Davis, Proprietor. I started walking down to the high school to see what was down there. On the way, l met Kibby Honnors who is working as a secretary at the Company. We walked together down to the school and she told me more news about my classmates. Francis Buckley is playing the role of Happy in the 1963 version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Robert DeVautour recently won the Pulitzer Prize for the writing of the best play of the year. It was entitled Four Years at Rocky Point, or l Slid Through High School the Easy Way. Robert Hum is an eminent scientist. He has iust succeeded in crossing pine trees and apple trees in order to produce pine-apples. Hayes Ellis is breaking all records as a stock car racer, and Peg MacKay is banging the dents out of the fenders.

Joyce Gafford is colorfully known as the red-headed blues singer. Her theme song is Love ls Like A Burning Flame. Gail Fitzpatricklhas taken over Fannie Farmer's business. I guess those weeks at Lowney's proved profitable. Kibby and l talked all the way to the high school. Yes old F.H.S. still looked the same, but appropriately situated near the high school is an ultra modern funeral home. The owner of the establishment is Konrad the friendly under- taker Brown.
