1961 CLASS PROPHECY FOR 1980 Having retired as a stewardess, I began working at the La Guardia Airport office. When the Bermuda Clipper landed, among the passengers checking in was a tall, heavy-set, distinguished and wealthy suparbeet plantation owner; we asked his name--Philip Watson. He commuted regularly between his. Bermuda and ' New York offices so he told me of the activities of our classmates that were in New York. By all means I was to go to Rockfeller Center for the star performance of the aerial act (a daring act, hanging by one knee from a chandelier) which was executed by none other than tne versatile, vavacious Jane Weaver ' . Philip than insisted we go to Yankee Stadium for the Olympic tryout. The high jumping champion of the Women ' s Hair Dressers Association, Connie Shipbaugh, was competing against the national champion of the Women ' s Riveters Association, Sallie McDaniel. We held our breath as they gracefully skimmed tha bar at 5 ' 11 but Connie emerged successfully with a six foot leap. Returning to Manhattan at a little too speedy a clip, we we re pinched by a cop who could drive faster than we could. Eeg as we would Steve Fulton insisted that we be arrested and took us before the roughest , gruffest judge, Philip Deemer. We paid our fine and went our way since Phil wouldn ' t let his old friends off. Philip then insisted we go to visit the Brooklyn insane hospital where Marilyn Lahr was working. Marilyn was so glad to see us, but she was sad because her math teacher friend, Phyllis Creek had suffered a nervous breakdown. She had tried every theory she had heard of to teach Karen Friedley ' s Burdoski ' s child to count her fingers and add 1 and 1 correctly so she could pass in the sixth grade. Karen Sue and her husband, both playing in the Philharmonic Orchestra, hadn ' t had time to teach her child the more practical things in life. Marilyn did say that with a complete rest Phyllis would recover. Then I saw a sign which said We Three Weary Warts Beauty Shop . The name was so unique I decided to enter. Peg Dolby met me at the door and assigned me to Janice Henry, operator. Janice took one look at my hair and said a specialist was needed so Mike Matthews with his long shears styled my beautiful hair in the new New York new f angled way. I took one look at it in the mirror and was positively sick at my stomach so I rushed to the nearest drug store for a tranquilizer and pharmacist, William Parrett, sympathetically gave me a bottle of pink pills for pale people. He told me I should have known better than to go to the three quack Warts. The next day I received a call from Rex Billiter wanting a date to go with him to the Brooklyn Bridge to watch Anne Clampitt break the record for swimming around Manhattan Island. She had tried the week before but the scum, rubbish and garbage of New York had slowed her time down. But here she comes! A new record is seti Good old Jay P. Hacker is breaking the way, sweeping all the polution to each side with his magnificent boat. After the ll -mile swim she was starved, so the four of us went to Jack Dempsey ' s for steaks. Standing in the window wearing asbestos gloves and cooking steaks with a blow torch was John Updike. John says he works there in the evening but during the day works out in Jack ' s boxing ring. They say that John ' s a promising feather weight contender. The highlight of the floor show was a husband and wife dance combination in which the Susie- Val Dancers (the former Susie Mills and Val Gene Mclntire) accompanied by the most hep jazz pianist on Broadway, Mary Ebey. This was followed by a little Swiss miss who had lived in Switzerland all her life and had just been flown to New York for her debut. It was none other than Nancy Daugherty.
