CLASS PROPHECY OP $7 Here it is 1967 and I am on my way to Washington and New York City, but this time I am not going as a student but as a chaperone of the seniors of Skelton Hole, New York, On the train I saw a speck of blond hair and when I looked to see who it was, I discovered it was none other than Chuck Rowland. He was heading back to Maryland. He says he is making a career of the navy. X thought it quite strange that he got a greenish complexion when I mentioned boats. When we arrived in Washington we were taken directly to the Commodore Hotel. I was surprised to find out that Eddie Homer was the new manager of the Hotel. I also thought it was strange that he runs an elevator in his spare time with a sign overhead which says, Lady’s Only. The night before we left for New York City we took the moonlight Cruise along the Potomac. I discovered our captain was Lynn Bice, He says he couldn't resist that Washington Moon. The next afternoon we arrived in New York City. We were taken directly to the Taft Hotel. I heard the hotel had a beautician so I made an appointment to have my hair set. When I arrived for my appointment I was surprised to see Peggy Simser. Her speciality is putting peroxide on the girls hair. Peggy was up on all the latest news. She said that Barbara G-onyea is now living in Indianapolis, Indiana. Barb and Johnny run a trailer park located in the south end of the city. When I went back to my room the maid was making the bed. When she turned around I saw it was Joan Frisco. It seemed that the Taft had really appealed to her. next morning we went to China town. Our guide turned out to be Merritt Stevens. He had recently appeared in Can-Can and was doing the tour for Kicks. As we were walking through Chinatown I met Kay a me. She is still trying to put her nursing know- USe She still carries her scissors, needle no thread around just waiting for someone to g et a case of appendicitis. ,. hat afternoon we went to see Li11 Abner.

CLASS PROPHECY--CONTINUED In the material department I saw Elaine Paro. She was buying five yards of black faille. She is a designer of clothes now. You can find her latest fashions in the Glamour Magazine. As we were leaving Macy's I ran into Mary Lou Alguire. It seems that she spends the afternoons riding on the escalator. On the way back to the hotel I bought a newspaper. As I was looking through it I came across a picture of Gary Doyle. He had just been named the champion runner of the United States. I guess his speed in the halls at school was really put to use. Back in my room, I changed 'my clothes and went down to Childs restaurant. Our hostess was no other than Mary Allen. It seems that she liked the food so well there that she just couldn't resist going back. After dinner I took the class to a fashion show. There, modeling housecoats, was Rosalyn Jennings. It seemed that someone had seen her run down the hall in the Commodore in her housecoat and had brought her to New York. On the way back to Skelton Hole Joan Aurelio was on our coach. She was just returning from a visit with her penpal in England. She says she is now writing her letters in shorthand to save time. Well, at approximately 8:30 a.m. we arrived back in Skelton Hole. And after seeing New York City that's just about what it looked like.
