ot rietor. Other clients of Mr. Weekes include that well-known All-American He- Pr ” jack Ritz, and his closemouthed bodyguard Prank Lefty 1 Griffith. More sil- 9 please. Thank You. Hmm, such a large coin. Now I see a large picture. I cognize Gerald Wood, inventor of radar-vision typewriters which type words as F® are seen; Dee Davison, secretary of American Tobacco Co.; and finally, Nadine t Vancha and Nancy Collette, world renowned hunters, hunters of single men for they are still single girls; and now Mary OfGrodnik, truant officer of Deer's Cor- ner Central School, who is again bewailing the fact that students stay away from school to watch the ever-popular childrens program, Jolly Robert , starring Bob Quackenbus . and gentlemen, this is Walter Kronbite once more. It is evident that Lafitte and Kidd mean no harm. They will probably steal away as quickly and auietly as they came. June 25, 1971. What kind of a day will it be? A little better than has just been shown, we hope. Senior Class Will w«, t'Yte Seniors of ‘Sb of Harrisvl 11® C.

Senior Class Prophecy YOU ARE ALMOST THERE JUNE 25, 1971 LAFITTE AND KIDD RETURN TO HARRISTON June 25, 1971. What kind of a day will it be? A day like all days, filled with those events which alter and illuminate our time. Everything is as it will be then, except, YOU ARE ALMOST THERE. June 25, 1971. Sometime during the night the indestructible H.C.S. PIRATES dropped anchor a few miles south of Harriston. Two well-known pirates, Lafitte Coulet and Kidd Alavancha, were spotted swimming up the Oshegotus Canal early this morning. Why are they returning? What is the purpose of this un- expected visit? That, ladies and gentlemen, is a matter of conjecture. It may be a friendly visit, and again, it may have been inspired by the same spirit of adventure which, fifteen years ago, led them to the edge of a cake-filled stage and almost cost them their reputation. We are told that, with the first news of their arrival already spreading through Northern New Cork, the citizens of the near-by towns of Clipon-Time, Oshegotus, and Tedwards, have locked their doors, barred their windows and turned on their air-conditioning units. It seems that... ladies and gentlemen, it is reported that Lafitte and Kidd have just touched shore north of the bridge in the heart of Harriston. We switch you now to Ned Crooks in Harriston. Come in, Ned Crooks This is Ned Crooks. At this moment we are standing on the east shore of the Oshegotus. Lafitte and Kidd have indeed just touched shore. We will do our utmost to obtain an interview with the pair but, remembering their custom- ary non-committal attitude, we can promise nothing. Pardon me, gentlemen, but could you tell us what brings you here? Out of m’way, I ain’t got no time to convert with ya’. This is Ned Crooks once again. As you have just seen. Messieurs Lafitte and Kidd had no comment to make. We switch you back to Walter Kronbite at our main studio. This is Walter Kronbite once again. Air conditioning units have been turned off in the neighboring localities. It seems that...an important develop- ment seems about to take shape at the western end of Harriston. We switch you, therefore, to Sod Hunter. This is Sod Hunter. Pardon me, sir, what are you saying? A Bopemian family in town? Yes sir, we understand. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we are informed that a Bopemian family moved into the vacant Food’s Garage sometime during the night. We were about to report, before being interrupted, that both pirates are reported to be headed this way. Bopemian family, pirates: coincidence? Perhaps. We will soon know for Lafitte and Kidd are less than a hundred feet away. Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, they are entering Food’s Garage. Let’s go inside. Lafitte and Kidd are addressing what appears to be a fortune teller. What’s ever become of our ’quaintances? The woman has now seated herself in front of a giant puffball. We would assume that this will serve as her crystal ball. She is looking intently into the puffball but appears to have difficulty seeing anything. Now she is whispering to Kidd. He hands her several oversize silver coins. Now, I see very well. It is a tall girl.••sitting at a desK in the of- fice of the Elevator Shoe Company......her name... is...Shirley Clarke. Now (cough) another girl....a cigarette girl at Ciro’s....it looks like Jane Walrath. And now a boy....oh no! not that woman again! Say, Lafitte, what would you do with a talk- ing puffball? That blooming Olympic debater Janet Powers, is at it again. Always she clouds my puffball! It seems there is a question as to whether or not Donna McCarn is a society matron in Boston or Dogpatch and whether Betty Lou Wicks is still the undefeated hog-caller of Pigville. A little silver, gentlemen, might rid us of her. Thank you. Now the picture is moving, moving quite fast. Yes, it is Captain Jack Ford of the Mitcairn Highway Patrol on the trail of Clyde Frank. You know, of course, that he is wanted in three states for illegal deer. Now... I see another stormy picture: Stuart Valentine, newly elected president of Vermont Maple Sugar Co., is betting his last dollar that no syrup is better than Vermont syrup and Mr. LeBlanc says New York syrup is the only syrup. More silver, if you please. Thank you. Now I can see Tex Montana’s star singer, Ernie Shaw. And now I see Elaine LaPlatney directing a class in poise at the Conover Charm School. It was there, Mr. Kidd, and this is free, that Stewart Parow acquired the funda- mentals which earned him a leading role as one of the Dead End Kids. Mr. Parow s entire wardrobe is from Richard’s Clothing Store on Fifth Avenue, Joe Weekes,

How We Looked Then Above is a photograph taken when we were first graders in 1944. We defy any one to identify all of us. If you can correctly identify one half of us, you are much better than we thought. But if, perchance, your memory is as poor as that of most of us, simply turn the page upside down.
