problems of the school. David Mullen is also connected with schools — he is the new music supervisor at Ipswich High. Do you remember how interested Ellis Hodgkins was in music? He now has his own disc jockey show. With color television in circulation, it is rather difficult for a disc jockey to remain popular, but Ellis is idolized by the teenagers. Dick Dow, since his dis- charge from the Navy, has served as the engineer in the studio control room. Ed: Also in the entertainment field, Flip Davis and Ronald Baldinelli have made quite a name for themselves as comedians. Their Comedy Hour over Channel 13 is proving a tremendous success. In fact, Flip is making so much money he is investing it in Jack Ward ' s House Wrecking Company in Melrose. Flip and Ronald had Tina Chionopolos as their special guest several weeks ago. She became well-known through her performances in many Broadway hits. Grace: Another classmate connected with Broadway is Dick McCormack. His beautiful scenery has long been admired by the public. Lillian Higgins is also important behind the scenes . Why, johnny Ray couldn ' t possibly get along without his efficient secretary. Ed: Our classmates have certainly proved themselves to be successful entertainers. Even Jake Trudel finally settled down and established a well-situated night club in the heart of New York. Many of the popular young singers appear there for recognition from the public. Recently the program featured Shirley Horsman, the vocalist of that ironic song, Peggy O ' Neil. The place was packed for three consecutive weeks. Whatever be- came of Shirley ' s pal, Anne Lombard? Grace: She has become the head dietician at the New York City Hospital, where Frances Galicki is employed as a secretary. Ed: Another girl who turned to secretarial work is Edith Hall. She now works as the executive secretary for the firm of Snorkel and Snide, an is assisted by Suzette Chrimes and Virginia Goodhue. Grace: Your mention of Edith Hall ' s name reminds me of her old sidekick, Betty Nelson. Betty, our class artist, is the world ' s leading fashion designer. Joanne Martel and Barbara Gilman model Betty ' s creations in all the big fashion shows. Caye Seakas is the hair stylist for Betty ' s models. Also in the line of fashions, do you remember Mary Polychronopolous and Eleanor Boy Ian, our best-dressed girls? They now co-edit a very popular fashion magazine. They have hired Beverly Horton as their private telephone operator to handle all their important business calls. Bev also handles many of Jean O ' Brien ' s calls. Jean, our most popular girl, recently wrote a book entitled How to Influence Friends and Win People . Ed: Another person who was very popular with his classmates was Dick Lane. Dick ' s horse, Petunia, just won the Kentucky Derby. I read that Dick gave much of the credit for the victory to Shirley LeClair, his head trainer, and to Stanley Colas, the veterinarian, who gave Petunia such expert care. Say, it ' s almost game time. They ' re motioning for me in the dugout. I have to go get my last minute instructions. Why don ' t you meet me after the game and We ' ll talk some more about our old classmates. Grace: All right that will be fine. I ' ll see you then. GIFTS TO THE GIRLS SCENE: Foot of Heartbreak Hill — Ipswich. CHARACTERS: David Williams, Robert Dort. Dave: Gee, I ' m winded. This box sure is heavy. Bob: You ' re not kidding. Who would have thought we ' d find anything like this on Heartbreak Hill. Dave: I know it. I wonder what ' s in it. Let ' s open it and find out. Bob: Well, for heaven ' s sake, look at this! Dave: We could use some of these things for Class Day gifts for the girls in our class. It will save a lot of money, and they will never know the difference. Bob: Okay, let ' s dig some of this stuff out and see what we have here. Dave: Say, look at this baseball. We could give it to Rosalie Arcisz, our class athlete. She is one girl who will know how to use it. Bob: That ' s fine, and how about giving this pencil and paper to Nunny Blair to replace all that she has used writing for the Cub and Tiger? Dave: I bet Eleanor Boylan could use this automatic coke machine in her father ' s drug store. It will save her much of the time she spends mixing cokes herself. Bob: Say, and you know all those boys Baby Camplese is talking about in Study Hall fifth period? Why don ' t we give her this date book to keep them straight? Dave: I ' ll bet our traveling classmate, Christine Chionopoulos, can use this suntan lotion in Florida. Bob: Hey! Look at this hairbrush. I ' ll bet Suzette Chrimes could use this to keep her beautiful hair shining. Dave: With all Beverly Ewing ' s out-of-town boy friends, she can surely put these stamps to good use. Bob: Let ' s give this calendar to Patsy Cogswell to help her count off the days until Jackie returns. Dave: Hey, I ' ll bet Barbara Gilman would like this picture album in which to paste the pictures of her many boy friends. Bob: That ' s a swell idea; Gee! look at this cow. No doubt Frances Galicki would love to add it to her collection of livestock. Dave: And I ' ll bet this green paint would come in handy for Edith Hall to help her touch up her father ' s car after a slight accident. Bob: Virginia Goodhue should be able to use these bowling shoes to replace those she has worn out while participating in her favorite sport. Dave: All right, and how about tnese smelling salts to wake up our class dreamer, Lillian Higgins? Bob: I ' m sure Anne Hammersley will be able to use a medical kit in her future career as a nurse.

CLASS PROPHECY TIME: 1963. CHARACTERS: Grace Matheson and Edward Sklarz. SCENE: Municipal Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio. Ed is a famous pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. Grace is sitting in a box seat as Ed approaches to warm up for the gome. Grace: Ahem! Excuse me — Pardon me, but . . . Ed: Yes, what can I do for you? Grace: Well, you probably don ' t remember me, but we used to go to school together back in good old Ipswich. Why, we even wrote the class prophecy together. You are the same Ed Sklarz, aren ' t you? Ed: Ipswich High School? Class Prophecy? You must be Grace Matheson! What in the world have you been doing all these years? Grace: I ' ve just returned from Schnitzelburg, the Capitol of Octagonia, where I served as the private secre- tary to John Killam, the United States Ambassador there. Ed: (as he sits down) Have you heard of or seen any of our other former classmates? Grace: Yes, I have. On my flight here I had the pleasure of meeting Tanya Vlahos. She is the buyer for Macy ' s Shoe Department and makes frequent trips to various parts of the country. She informed me that Rosalie Arcisz is a stewardess on a commercial flight from Los Angeles to Chicago. The pilot on her plane is none other than Ray Budzianowski. He always did like to taxi people around, only now he ' s receiving compensation for his efforts and has a capable assistant in Rosalie. Ed: Speaking of flying, I recently read an account of the heroic deeds performed by two of our class- mates. Medals of Honor were presented to Jack Devenish and Vernett Marr, both ace jet pilots, by the President of the United States, who is, of course, Bruce Quint, the boy whom our class voted most likely to succeed. He has certainly lived up ta all expectations. Grace: He certainly has. I hear that all of Wash- ington is Praising President Quint on his selection of George Bouzianis as the new Ambassador to Greece. Also in Washington the presiding society matron is none other than Pearl Mesta ' s successor to the title of most important hostess , Ann Kelleher, who as usual, is making a big success of her social functions. Ed: Our classmates in Washington aren ' t the only ones making the headlines. The hearing af one of the most publicized criminal cases in the nation ' s his- tory will take place next week in New York Central Court. A notorious gangster will be tried for murder. He was apprehended by the efficient work of the F.B.I. headed by Steve Tgavalekos. The State Prosecutor for New York will be Donald Crowe. Opposing him will be his old buddy, Robert Lang. A heated discussion between the two lawyers is predicted by the newspapers because of their previous battles in court. Grace: Yes, I read about the case. It reminds me of our old Problems of Democracy class when the two boys were on opposite sides in every argument but still remained the best of friends. You will probably remember that another one of our classmates, Lucien Arsenault, was , interested in law enforcement. He is now Chief of Police in Ipswich. Also working to decrease the crime rate in Ipswich are Beverly Ewing, a social worker, and Dora Saulnier, who runs a playground to provide young people with wholesome recreation. Ed: Other classmates who have settled in Ipswich are Peggy Homans and Jean Weagle. They now run a prosperous baby-sitting agency. Pat Cogswell really keeps their busineses humming with her fen children. Lorraine Pitre and her triplets are also steady customers at the agency. Of course, all the large families give their shoe repair business to Gini Player. Grace: Your mentioning children brings to mind the fact that Eleanor Blair, assisted by Rosemarie Camplese, is running the Blair Polio Clinic in Boston. Anne Hammersley who also works at the clinic, has developed a new technique in physical therapy. Her technique is being used all over the world and is greatly aiding children afflicted with polio. Cora Marshall, an X-Ray technician, is another staff member at the clinic. Ed: Before we leave the medical profession, I r emem- ber that Sally Tanner was training at Children ' s Hospital. Whatever became of her? Grace: As a result of that training, Sally is the new school nurse in Ipswich. Another classmate who chose nursing as her career has risen fo a position of great responsibility. Joan Surette was recently appointed head of the Navy Nurse Corps. Ed: Another Rowleyite, who always was proud of his native town, has done much to make it the thriving metropolis that it is today. Spencer Knowles ' garage, which has grown into a giant automobile factory rivaling General Motors, has made Rowley one of the most important manufacturing centers in the country. Say, by the way, you ' ll never guess who my battery mate is. He ' s my old high school team-mate. Bob Dort. Grace: Another member of the class who has found success in the sports world is Art Martel, who has purchased the franchise of the Boston Bruins ' hockey team. All the home games of the Bruins are being broadcast by Aidan Chisholm, the famous sports an- nouncer. Ed Damon has continued with his success in journalism and is now sports editor of the Boston Globe. His staff covers all sports events in and around Boston. Ed: In the off-season I am quite an avid football fan. In fact I went to see the Army-Notre Dame foot- ball game last year. The head coach at Notre Dame is none other than our Dave Williams. He and his assistant, Roland Clements, boosted the team on to an undefeated season last year. Even Art Higgins, our 1953 football captain, has continued in sports. He is the highest paid football player in the country. Between seasons he runs a variety store back in Ipswich. His establishment is located next to a wood-working shop owned and operated by Charles St. Laurent, whose specialty is cabinet-making. Say, whatever became of Dottie MacKay? Grace: She has recently been appointed president of an all-boys school. She always did get along well with the boys. Remember Jimmy Perley? He won his coveted C.P.A. and helps Dottie with the financial |30J

Dave: Gee, this sack of coins would come in handy for Shirley Horsman the next time she runs out of change while selling ticke ts at the theatre. Bob: Peggy Homans can use this time card to keep track of the many hours she spends baby-sitting. Dave: Let ' s give this ball of twine to Ann Kelleher to tie her possessions onto her so she won ' t lose so many. Bob: Since Beverly Horton is planning to become a telephone operator, this pillow will ease her long hours of work. Dave: Hey, Bob, why don ' t we give this Ouija board to Anne Lombard to help her choose from among her many boy friends? Bob: This picture of a horse should be perfect for Shirley LeClair to remind her of a common interest that she and Freddie have. Dave: Cora Marshall, our future governess, will cer- tainly be able to use this rattle to quiet the children. Bob: Our class boyologist. Dotty MacKoy, will know what to do with this lasso, and I ' m sure the boys won ' t mind. Dave: And these glasses should aid Grace Matheson to see her future more clearly. Bob: This tar paper is very appropriate for Betty Nelson, don ' t you think? Dave: Yes, indeed. Bob: And this cup can serve as a trophy tor our most popular girl, Jean O ' Brien. Dave: Say, look at this flashlight. Let ' s give it to Lorraine Pitre; maybe it will help her find her way to night school. Bob: Let ' s give this shorthand book to Mary Poly- chronopoulos to use in her future secretarial duties. Dave: Say, I ' ll bet Gini Player has broken many glasses while working in Janice ' s. Maybe this set will help to replace some of them. Bob: You know that constant feud that goes on between Edjue and Kay Seakas; let ' s give her this water pistol to help her subdue him. Dave: Look at this wrench. Dora Saulnier has so much trouble with her father ' s car, perhaps this would come in handy. Bob: Sally Tanner cerJainly is going to have a lot of headaches in her career as a nurse. Let ' s hope this bottle of aspirin will help cure some of them. Dave: Since Joan Surette was our Class Saint, don ' t you think this Halo Shampoo is appropriate? Bob: Yes, and why don ' t we give this doll to Jean Weagle on which to practice some of her homework as a student baby nurse? Dave: Joonne Martel will, no doubt, welcome this Jack-in-the-Box. We wouldn ' t however, advise getting or keeping Jackie in a box. Bob: And look at this catalog, way down at the bottom. Let ' s give it to Tanya Vlahos to help her keep up with the latest shoe styles. Dave: Well, that just about takes care of all the presents. Bob: And all the girls. Dave: Well, let ' s go home. It ' s getting pretty late. GIFTS TO THE BOYS By VIRGINIA PLAYER and PATRICIA COGSWELL As we were walking on the beach One bright and sunny day, We spied a hefty wooden box Floating in Ipswich Bay. We pulled it in and opened it up, And much to our surprise We discovered the Gifts to the Boys Right there before our eyes. Lucien can use this extra foot I ' m sure you ' ll oil agree; If he adds it to his height. More of a man he ' ll be. To Baldy , who plans to be married. We give this bank account; We made it only fifty cents So it won ' t take too long to count. To George, this little gavel To help him make his point. And if he hits it loud enough The noise will rock the joint. To keep Ray ' s car still running Despite its venerable age And to prevent its falling completely apart This jar of sticky LaPage. To Aidan who likes all sports We give this basketball; Memories of his high school days We hope it will recall. Rollie ' s a boy who wants a car To take on a long, long trip And although this won ' t go very far It really is a pip . To Quack, our future vet. We give this little sick mare And here ' s a little needle To help repair the tear. To Bobby Lang and Donald Crowe We give this strong matched pair (hand cuffs) That will help hold together A friendship that is very rare. Eddie ' s the writer in our class; In sports he specializes; These little notebooks he can fill Which come in various sizes. Flip ' s a funny fellow. So we made him our class clown; To make him King of Merriment We ' ll award this golden crown. [ 32 ]
