We advise TOM ROGERS to join Hell's Angels with his Super 90 and head the pack. We advise MARCIA RUSSELL to open a foreign foods center. With her brains and personality, no one would guess that she wasn't Polish. We advise BOB VENTON to start his vineyard and go into the wine-making business. We hear he's good at it. We advise DICK WALKER to start a horse ranch. With his mustang, he can lead the herd. We advise LYLE WEAVER to get a job at the Fruit of the Loom factory. With his name he has to do all right. We advise BINA WEST to become a stewardess. The pay might not be good, but those free trips to Cuba are. We advise PAT WEST to open a barber shop. He'd probably have the best Clip Joint in town. We advise JOE WILLIAMS to join the Marines and conquor the world in the name of L.C.S. We advise PAT WILLIAMS to move to Hawaii and become a professional pineapple picker. Class Prophecy The year is 1984. Fifteen years after its glorious graduation, the class of '69 is holding its reunion in the ballroom of the New Crescent Hotel, which now covers nearly a full block in the heart of downtown Chaumont. HAROLD ALBERRY drove up in his new mail truck. He has come a long way since his days as janitor of the Chaumont Post Office. CARL BERGEVIN, now a famous physicist, tells us that he believes the earth is flat. He says that the horizon is merely an optical illusion and that astronauts see the earth as round because of the refraction of light caused by the atmosphere which hovers over the flat surface. DIANE ADAMS is now married to a talent scout who saw her in our senior play fifteen years ago. She has won various awards for her performance as Kate in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. We were unable to identify DIANNE BOURCY when she first entered, as she has added fifteen years' growth to her hair. People keep getting her confused with Lady Godiva. DON BOURQU1N drove up in his old 1961 chevy. Except for the hole in the muffler and the trail of oil behind, the car seems to be in pretty good shape. BERNADETTE PICHE appeared on the scene wearing a full-length chinchilla coat, which she bought with the money she earned from her new book - My Most Romantic Days Were at L.C.S. DEBBIE FLOWER CHILD P1CKETTE flew in from Greenwich Village. Even though she has a rich husband, she prefers the life of a hippie. JOHN O'KAY came in very slowly, and it appeared he had been crying. He had just wrecked his new $15,000 high performance car, nicknamed Peppermint Schnaps.” ALAN CROUSE is making his mark in the world as manager and statistician for KEN MURRAY'S basketball team. We are lucky the Coast Guard and Border Patrol gave RON CHEAL permission to come unarmed. He is a successful (?) smuggler, and the Coast Guard wanted to get a good look at his boat, The Rum Runner. WEBBIE DANIELS arrived from the West coast, where he is a famous lawyer. His ambition to become a beach bum led his to set up offices on the beach. He says that he’s very big with the surfing set. ERICA HARE, who won fame (?) and fortune (?) selling Christmas wrapping paper for the senior class, has just signed a contract with the Chrysler Co. to become the new Dodge girl and advertise Dodge fever. PATRICK WEST has just been released from prison where he had been serving time for insulting the President of the United States. 24

I, KENT NICHOLS, leave my overly abundant skill in ping-pong to Ronny Walker. I, JOHN O’KAY, refuse to leave anything to anybody. So there! I, BERNADETTE PICHE, leave my ability to find a problem in any small thing to Debbie Russell. I, DEBRA PICKETTE, leave my ability to create commotion to any girl who likes to wear short skirts. I, CAROL ROGERS, leave to Shana Goutremout the desire to frost, dye, streak, or tint her hair as often as I have. I, NANCY ROGERS, leave my capacity for worrying over nothing to anyone crazy enough to do so. I, THOMAS ROGERS, leave my ability to do a fifty-foot wheely to Tim Callahan. I, MARCIA RUSSELL, leave my outstanding knowledge of Chemistry to any sophomore who wants it. I, ROBERT VENTON, leave my overwhelming ambition to anyone who can make good use of it. I, RICHARD WALKER, have nothing to leave. I, BINA WEST, leave my cheering skirt to Ellen Silver. I, PATRICK WEST, leave my ability to make enemies to anyone who can naturally insult anyone, anytime, anyplace. I, LYLE WEAVER, leave my quiet ability to get into trouble to Phil Stumpf. He has had some good experience already. I, JOSEPH WILLIAMS, leave my gym locker and anything that may be found in it to Richard Horning. I, PATRICIA WILLIAMS, leave my ability to be late for the bus every morning to Cathie Williams. We, hereby formally declare Rowan and Martin to be the executors of this last will and testament.

DENNIS HILLICK, after much consideration, has finally decided to sell his car. Because of the difficulty in squeezing 20 children into his little black car, he has decided to buy a used school bus from LCS. Near the food, we found Dennis’ wife, MARCIA. She is a divorced dietician, and Dennis is her second husband. It seems she is paying too much attention to other people's calories and not enough to her own. NANCY ROGERS won fame as a lady motorcyclist. Unfortunately, she is in traction after a 1'minor” brush-off on her cycle and was unable to attend. TOM ROGERS arrived in a cloud of dust on his Honda Super 90. He says he is still trying to beat Steve Dodge in a race. CAROL ROGERS, now the mother of twelve children, arrived smiling as usual. When asked why she has so many children, she replied, I found it's cheaper by the dozen.” PAT WILLIAMS arrived at our reunion wearing a grass shirt. She flew over from Hawaii just to be with us. She has a job there instructing boys in hula dancing. Wonder if she ever gets bored? We hardly noticed JOE WILLIAMS, since he is still as quiet as he was in high school. Joe is the champion U.S. house builder. He has just completed his second house of the week. LYLE WEAVER has become a successful phys ed teacher. His main ambition is to coach a small team and take them to the top. He is now collecting money to reopen Redwood High School. Arriving late was BRENDA CHAVOUSTIE. We were startled at her appearance as she is now a towering 6 5 ! Shortly after graduation, she discovered Height-On , a health food guaranteed to make you tall. Ambitious BOB VENTON, a well-known TV star, became famous after starring in numerous pep pill commercials. The company that manufactured the pills is going out of business as the pills failed to pep Bob up. Admiral KENT NICHOLS, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, couldn't get to Chaumont, as Chaumont Bay is not quite deep enough for his battleship. BINA WEST is travelling with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra as a page turner and was unable to attend. PAT JOHNSON also was absent. She recently won the Miss Galaxy contest, and Chaumont was not on her itinerary for her 'round the world trip. RICHARD WALKER could not attend, since he has entered the Indy 500 with his custom built Walker Special. We hope he wins. 25
