Class Prophecy ( Continued from page 21) Passing gossip had it that the newlyweds, Bruce Espey and Jean Backus , were expected to arrive almost any moment now. I also gathered from my classmates that Betty Holm owned and operated with her part- time assistant, Kay Tsiknas, a beauty doggery for female dogs. After the dinner was completed we all went into the livingroom. There I met Edith De- Mello , commanding officer in the W.A.V.E.S., and her crotchety husband, Bill Sullivan. I said good-bye to all my former classmates, as I could not stay any longer. I went outside and hired a taxi to drive me to the station. The driver was Matilda Andrews. When I arrived there and got on the train, the cigarette girl, Jean Stuart, told me the train conductor, Clara Peters, wanted to see me. Clara informed me her line of business had been feminized. She inquired as to where I was going, and I told her back to my job as a teacher. As I sat alone in the train, I thought how nice it had been to see my classmates of the dear L. H. S. again. Milton Soares — Milton, here’s a little Fal- mouth din, so when you get sea sick you can keep your feet on the ground. Marshall Douthart — Marshie, we all know you are learning to dance. Maybe you’ll be another Arthur Murray if you prac- tise with this broom. Harry Pierce — Harry, it’s a long ways to walk from Wareham, especially, when your car breaks down. Maybe this new car will help. Edward Burgess — Eddy, accidents do hap- pen at proms! For a possible emergency, carry these safety pins. Vincent Duffany — Duffy, to revive the girls who swoon, when you sing in your Frank Sinatra manner, we give you this bot- tle of smelling salts. BRUCE Espey — Bruce, as you are interested in the ’’Baker’’ business and would like to get started, here is a can of baking powder. SOCIAL COMMITTEE Standing-. Bruce Espey, Fred Bishop, Harry Pierce.
