Senior Class Officers Marilyn Beach, Secretary and Treasurer; Jerry Sebald, President; Judy Young Badman, Vice-President SENIOR PROPHECY It has been 10 years since the class of '50 has left the halls of Lake George High School. In this year I960, Patricia Johnson, noted author and his- torian, has returned to the land of woods and wild bears to trace the ancient tribe of 1950 to its present habitat. As she steps down from her jet-propelled run- about, Pat notices that Lake George has changed quite a bit in 10 years. Her first visit is to the high school itself, which is now located on the one-time athletic field. (Room for expansion, you know). On entering the school she notices that there has been a new decorating job, in chartreuse and pale yellow, done by the school’s new Home Making teacher, Libby LaPlanche. Quite an improvement! Entering the office, Pat notices that the secretary, who is pecking away on the typewriter, is her old friend, Marilyn Beach. Miss Beach takes Pat in to meet the new principal, Ramsay Forster. Principal Forster is perfecting a new theory in education, to let the students teach the teachers. On leaving the office, Pat is almost knocked over by a harasscd-looking young woman sprinting down the hall. As the lanky, intellectual teacher whizzes past, Pat recognizes Marge Haskell who is running after one of her Kinder- garten students. Stopping in at the coach’s office, she sees none other than Bill Winslow sitting at Coach Dawes’ desk and reading the sports section of the local paper. Bill tells Pat that he now has the basketball team in first place, for the sixth straight time, and that the ’60 Georgians beat War- rensburg with a score of 89-23. Dazed with this news, Pat wanders down Canada Street and meets Don Hardesty, the world-famous cartoonist, who is now handling the art work for Adirondack Resorts Press. On the next street corner, Pat catches a glimpse of a familiar figure. It is Marilyn Ramsey, famed career girl, who is waiting for the Ithaca bus. Marilyn has been engaged eighteen times, but each time has decided that her career should come before a man. Passing the corner of Nick’s Diner, Pat sees a sudden, blinding flash of light. Entering the diner, Pat orders a plate of French fries and finds that Bill Webster, head pin- ball electrician, has just caused a short. Bill is making money head over heels to support his boss's daughter. Next to Verra’s Soda Fountain, Pat finds two new stores—Charlie and Mary’s Dress Shop and a branch store of Lee’s Haberdashery of Fifth Ave- nue. Lee Hardesty, proprietor of the shop, has also been dabbling in opera. On the east side of Canada Street is one of the biggest changes Pat has seen in the village. There is the new location of Mountain- side, which has been moved to Lake George because of the great square-dance enthusiasm. On the bill- board, Pat sees that the orchestra playing is the Adirondack Pipers’ Band, conducted by Robert Waite, who married Mccleta Dunning almost 10 years ago. Mountainside looks much more prosperous now, probably because Mary Schoonover is the new manager. Crossing the street, Pat almost bumps into Jerry Sebald, who is a traveling salesman for Single, the Hair Tonic for Woman Haters.” Overhead, she hears the drone of airplane motors. Looking south she sees Lake George’s new Airport. Taking a short trip in that direction, Pat meets Frances LaFond who is now the head airline hostess. As she walks a little farther, Pat notices a mammoth neon sign which advertises Beverly Cabins.’’ For rent by the night, day, week, month, season, year, or decade. Running water and atomic heat. Beverly (Beautiful) Burton, Proprietor.” Going a little farther, she meets Wini- fred Beswick who is visiting some of her old Lake George classmates. Winnie is now the wife of a famous New York lawyer and lives on a large estate in Pearl River. After talking for a while, Pat learns that Monty Seaman owns a string of race horses at Saratoga, including Miss Luzerne, who won last year’s Kentucky Derby. She also learns that the new and bigger Rialto Theatre in Glens Falls is under the management of Bill Flanders, who is now- substituting for one of the Ink Spots. With her assignment almost over, Pat leaves Lake George by the new Bolton Super-Highway. She finds that this masterpiece of engineering was de- signed by A1 Kouba, who always did want to get rid of the curves between Lake George and Bolton. Passing through the town of Bolton, Pat finds the last of the Class of ’50, Anne Exford, who is running a second hand store for slightly used engagement rings. As she speeds back to the big Metropolis, Pat collects her notes and wonders if any other class will reach the heights which the Class of ’50 has.
