CLASS PROPHECY After the excitement of graduation with all its rrows of leaving our friends and beloved alma mater and fhe joys venturing into a new and wonderful life, I yLgan to wonder what each of our lives would be like ten years from now. Then, not long after, I decided to browse among my precious souvenirs of high school days. Each one brought on a daydream, and as I stared at the drops of rain on the window-pane, it was like a vivid prophecy brought into reality. Melbern Aldous is at his successful job of selling 191$ Chevrolets. Melbern feels his studying of Bookkeeping and Salesmanship helped him to become the greatest salesman of his time. Next we see Loean Barr who has become a great hair stylist. Her latest hair cut is the ’’Scare-Crow Special.” We’re also able to see Elaine Bishop. Elaine is a missionary. Her latest work took her to Africa. Then comes Don Burke. Don is teaching American History in Hermon-DeKalb Central School. Don has replaced his beloved, retired history teacher, Mrs. Bigelow. Mary Durham has put her dramatic talents to work and is currently appearing as Lola in the Broadway show, ”Damm Yankees.” , Phyllis Foley has a modeling job on Jones Beach in Florida where she is modeling bathing suits. That is just her part time job; you see, Larry Jr. keeps her pretty busy. Marilyn Cobb has a job teaching Driver’s Training, but she still has the habit of closing her eyes whenever the speedometer hits BO miles an hour as the student steers for a tree. Mary Seymour has become a successful nurse. In addition to this, she has a part time job checking cameras for tourists while they tour Mount Vernon. Nadine Warren keeps house for her new husband in their 6 foot trailer in Connecticut. Dean has a part time J°b in a Pizza House. Wayne Hall has taken over his father’s farm. He recently started raising mountain goats to utilize the rocky terrain of the farm.

Helen Watson has a job at an information booth located between Hermon and DeKalb. The sign over her little booth reads The Eyes and Ears of the World. Ricky Lavine was a winner of a Texas Tall Tales contest and is currently employed as a barker in a carnival side show. Bob Jennings runs a Savings and Loan Company in Rock Hollow. Where Bob started his investments it’s hard to say. Surely not when he went to high school. He was far from a miser then. Joe Conant has a job as head carpenter on the new Hermon-DeKalb Central School building. It is rumored that he will be the Industrial Arts teacher when the new building is completed about 1970. Pat Conant has a job as assistant to Ezra Benson trying to keep the farmers milk prices up. Deuard VanOrnum has become a very successful song-writer. His latest record release is called Why Girls Thrill Me. Sam McCombs has by this time set up an automobile shop. He’s hung out a shingle which reads, Come here and do your tinkering. In his spare time he poses as a model. Richard Griffith has a job playing his sousaphone in Radio City Music Hall while the Rockettes dance. Richard learned to play while he was in high school. Gordon Miller is now married and the father of fourteen children. He works many long hours at his job as an instructor at A.T.I. Howard Claflin runs a candy store on Fifth Avenue and conducts tours through New York City on holidays. Donald Fenlong has a job advertising his muscles for comic book advertising. He's taken over the title, The Mighty Atlas. Suddenly a voice disturbs my dreams, and I am hauled back into the present. The rain is nearly over. It must be that it was all a trick of the rain and my imagination.
