'mf PROPHECY RQ 4 ta QTQEL .2 To the Parents, Faculty, Friends, and Underclassmen assembled here, and to you, Honored Members of the Graduating Class of 1968 of Barrington High School, let me say that I am indeed honored and thrilled to be here today as your guest speaker. Just twenty years ago tonight, along with fifty-two other classmates, I sat here on this very platform, garbed in like cap and gown, await- ing a long anticipated and, I might add, sometimes doubted, certificate of gradua- tion. Since then, I have traveled great distances and met a great many interesting people in my profession as public lecturer, but never have I heard of such out- standing success and good fortune of any one class as that of the Class of 1948. So it was with a mixed feeling of pride and honor that I accepted your principals request that I address you on your night of graduation, and tell you of the great achievements of Peck High School's outstanding alumni class, so that you, too. might attempt the heights of success that they as a whole, reached. Since they are scattered far and wide, over the surface of the earth, maybe we should begin here at home, in the United States, and work our way eastward. In Washington, D, C., holding the unique position of Hrst woman of the Supreme Court Bench, Justice Janice Brown, well known Democrat and author of that outstanding book on world conflict, Two Worlds, reports of the success of several other classmates. As presidential nominee on a third party ticket, she states, David Cham- pagne is gathering unbelievable support, and it is feared by opposing forces that his party, the National Prohibition Revival Movement, might well be a leading factor in the coming elections. Secretary of War Gerald McCarthy, who gained much of his experience as Secretary of the Class of '48, is said to be contemplating a move toward hostilities with General Earl Fahlquist and his Million Maidens from Mars. General Fahlquist, Who reached that distant planet several years ago after re- peated attempts had failed, is reported to have absolutely refused the admittance of McCarthy to this all-feminine planet, but Gerald, along with multi- millionaire industrialist Harvey Cooper, and noted brain specialist George Ennis, Qboth bachelors, incidentallyj has stated that he has his rocket ship constructed and intends to resign his government post in order to help govern UQ this female-ridden planet. Henry Gerber, will, of course, pilot his friend's ship with the able assistance of world-famous chemist and astronomer, John Vxfatjen, who is accompanying the group in order to study the chemical struc- ture of the soil and atmosphere about Mars, Also in Washington, and preparing for departure to Russia, is Carolyn Bailey, newly appointed Ambassador. Now that women diplomats have be- come more common, it was not with too much surprise that I learned of Miss Bailey's appointment to this most important post, since she has gone far in the Diplomatic Service since graduation. Perhaps, while in Moscow, she will see Inez Hoar, who, since retiring as Prima Donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company, has settled down with her husband, a former Prince, in the Repub- lican-controlled Russia. According to word received from Rear Admiral T. G. Buckless' office, two members of the Class of '48 have had recent rank advancements. In nearby Norfolk, Dorothy Lother was advanced to Lieutenant S. G. in the Navy Nurses Corps, while Benjamin Weir after a long and colorful career, was retired as a Chief Petty Officer, 28
