I also noticed, “Pulitzer Award Given to Professor Price.” His hook, for which he was given this award, was entitled, “Fair Goshen The Land of Morons, Imbeciles and Idiots.” The train arrived at Goshen. Since I was in no hurry, I decided to walk over to Dot’s, hoping to find some old acquaintances there. On my way, passing the Post-Office, I saw a woman fumbling with her mail. “Why if it isn’t Mary Kit Wallace!” When she turned around and saw me, she just giggled; the way she always did in Mr. Whitebread’s class. Mary Kit is determined to pass her Latin III and is now taking a Correspondence Course in this subject. Well, I proceeded on my way when I heard someone trying to play an accordian . no not that same Walter Jensen yes, and when I asked him why he played in the streets, he soberly said, “Could you think of a better way to earn a quick quarter.” Could be. All of a sudden the sidewalk in front of me started rising. You can imagine what a relief it was when Stanley Dudek stuck his head out of a man-hole and said, “I’m just planning to engineer a new sewer through Main Street.” I guess his college engineering course has made him very successful. I walked into Dot’s and found Paul Traverse seated at the counter, “Tom Lynch’s Trucking,” written across his back. I took it for granted that Tom finally gave up his P. G. courses in order to have more time to contribute to his $1,000,000 trucking business. As we were talking, Ray Dzierzek walked in. It seems that Ray learned something about farming in school for now he, and classmate Harry Smith, have a monopoly on farm products, equipment, etc., in New York State. As I was about to leave, a woman came towards me. Why Janet Hanley! I hardly recognized her without Joe. She informed me that Joe was now a Professor at R. P. I., her father is a retired trooper, etc. Then she suggested a ride in her old jalopy to talk over old times. “The car runs just as good as it did in high school and I have nothing else to do right now,” she said. My better judgment kept me from accepting Janet’s off- er so, after answering all her questions on children’s ready knit wear, I said good-by. I walked along the crowded Main Street and noticed the motion picture which was playing. It seems that the star was a former Goshen resident. All the kids were lined up in front of the theater because they didn’t want to miss “Cannon-Ball of Lower Road” with the leading role played by their idol, Stanley Lane, better known as “Sideburns” Jesse James. Then I noticed a voice coming from a nearby office. On the door: “Miss Rosenberg, Noted Psychiatrist.” I walked in. As I was seating myself, I could hear Miss Rosenberg explaining to two of her former classmates (whose maiden names were Dotty Pearsall and Ginny Parks) that children should be allowed to go out on dates on school nights. Her classmates agreed with her, but they said it was difficult to give children too much freedom, especially when their fathers are “sailors” or “roamers.” As these mothers left, another former classmate, Barbara Bradley, entered and inquired, “How is it possible for a certain man to be mature in almost all instances and yet fickle about all women and unwilling to be content with one?” That was too much for me. I’d come back later. After walking around the enlarged shopping district, I went over to the park to rest. I was surprised to see one of my old friends sitting there Ken Sehoonmaker to be exact. It seems that Ken graduated from Albany State Teachers College and came back to his home town to teach. He said it was often discouraging to teach vour own classmates’ children, especially when they have the same traits their parents had. As he was leaving he smiled and said, “I wish I were as wise as Bob Osburn. He hooked a millionairess and retired just fishes now.” Well, I was still without a room and seeing a sign, Christensen’s Hotel, I walked in had dinner Walt Jensen went by on a motorcycle when I told Lucille that the food was excellent, she said, “My sister Marguerite is a dietician who has taught me how to increase or decrease appetites profitably we buy all our fresh eggs and milk from Rose Scesa’s farm.

PROPHECY KNIT-WIT MILLS INC. 500 Fifth Ave. JUNE 27, 1960 R. B. SHUTTLE CHARLOTTE MONGO President Vice Pres, for Sales Dear Fellow Fiftiers; Since Mr. Hooker has asked all ten-year-graduates to write of their experiences since leaving Goshen, I would like to tell you of mv latest. Last week my boss rushed into the office and shouted, “C. T.,” “Knit-Wit Corporation must rejnain above all other knitting concerns. Since you are sales director of the Knit-Wit Corporation, I’m sending you on a tour of New York State to secure information to improve our sales. You’re to start now!” As luck would have it. Bob McBride, my favorite cabby pulled up. We weren’t riding very long before a siren screamed him over to a curb. “What’s the idea?” the officer says. To my surprise McBride slaps him on the back and says, “Now, Bob Davis, you aren’t going to give me a ticket just because I was speeding and the cab was back-firing? Remember the old “Brockway” back in high school? You certainly got a charge out of it then.” McBride shouldn’t have tried to bribe Davis, for the next thing I knew we were on our way to the nearest court. As we were walking in, a woman bumped into us. A man in the door-way was yelling at her, “Miss Tut-hill, I have taken all of your incompetent secretarial work I care to. You’re fired!’’ It was good to see Florence again; she has-n t changed a bit. The officer proceeded to announce our arrival to the judge, who had apparently been taking a nap. It was not a shocking surprise to learn that the judge was our old friend Louie Peavy. Yet, when I saw our attorney coming towards us no ' - - - it couldn’t be not Mr. William Stanton! But I shouldn’t complain, for it was Stanton’s ability to talk a blue streak which convinced Judge Peavy (who was sleeping throughout the hearing) of our innocence. As we left Brooklyn by way of the Brooklyn Bridge, my new cabby turned around and asked me if I had ever heard of a guy named Clifford Kelsey. It seems that this man was recently sent to Sing-Sing because he tried to blow up this same bridge. lie also mentioned that Kelsey was connected with that big Bradford Hotel explosion in Boston ten years ago, but the cops just couldn’t put the finger on him. Arriving at Jersey City, I purchased a ticket for my first stop. Yes sir! . good old Goshen, my home town. It wasn’t long before I realized that the train was smoking like an old chimney and the riding was far from comfortable. I attracted the attention of a conductor, who meekly walked towards me. “Why if if it isn’t Sam Herbert.” Sam had made no decided change in character, for when I asked him who the engineer was, he softly said, “You must remember Gilbert Heitz.” Well, I needed no more explanation, but Sam continued slowly, “Since his father and grandfather worked on the Erie, Heitz decided to keep up the family tradition. You know it doesn’t do any good complaining to a guy like him; so I just keep quiet.” When I looked out the window, I could tell we were nearing Goshen. That isn’t all I saw, for 1 noticed a familiar name on a large sign . “Bring your friends to Cippi for dance lessons. Don t let them learn from amateurs . learn from the eminent Cippi who has danced herself in and out of the “Copa” I was glad to learn that Dolores Ci priano, an old acquaintance, was finally making use of her dancing talent. Just then I heard a great deal of confusion. To satisfy my curiosity, I turned around “Could it re illy be of course not but it was Senator Bernaski coming towards me.” Eddie had continued with his interest in politics and he informed me that he intended to run for President in 1964. Bernaski and I departed at the next station, so I continued alone once more. Picking up my newspaper, I read these headlines, “Miss Holcomb to Become Partner of Einstein. It seemed that Einstein needed her assistance in solving his super theory of relativity. page eighteen
