Class Prophecy In the year 1961, one of my classmates, Eugene Sawyer, and I decided to have a class reunion at Look Park, All were contacted, and were heard from, First to arrive was Gwen Frew, who is now the wife of Ernest Robinson, a prosperous farmer, She is the mother of twin boys and a sweet little girl, Now right behind her was Phyllis Thibault who is still unmarried and started on a successful career, We also learned that she was receiving the great opportunity of her life, the opportunity to become a star in opera. The next two were in uniform, and who should they be but Anna Mae Fouli and Betty jane St, Peter, They had joined the WAAF'S immediately after graduation and they enjoy their careers very much, Betty jane is engaged to be married. Anna Mae also has a bright future, Ernest Lauffenburger was next, He has a fine position as distributing manager of The Springfield Union',', in fact, it is the highest position in this department, He also is married and has a nice family, two girls and two boys, Norman Beals was next, He is the very same as he was ten years ago, only his wish has come true and he is a registered pharmacist, To our surprise, we found that he is married and the father of a son, as well as being the owner of a large drugstore in Springfield. Myrtie Wood came in right behind him, only it wasn't Myrtie Wood anymore, for she had a handsome young man with her who was her former boss fshe has taken over nowj and is now her husband, We also learned later that she is his secretary and they own a small business in Northampton, She has two children, girls of course, Then we spotted Eleanor DuCharme who is nicely settled in a little ranch style home in Dalton, but as yet she has no children, She is working at the General Electric in Pittsfield, her husband also works there, Looking over toward the door, we saw Eugene Sawyer standing in the doorway, He has become a prosperous farmer, is married, and has a boy. He also has a very nice wife, Since he has become so prosperous, he has bought himself a new car, QA little different from the one ten years agoj, The last to come in was Frances Reddin, She is a happy wife of a prosperous dentist and the recent mother of a bouncing baby boy, Frances Reddin Eugene Sawyer n 1 9
