Class Prophecy I, JoLinda Anderson, a fashion buyer at a large department store in New York, had lunch the other day with an old friend and classmate, Pauline Wallick, who is now a registered nurse at a private hospital in New York. We had a pleasant chat about the students who graduated with in 1961. Masuk High, which has grown considerably, has many of its former students as teachers. Its boys’ physical education teachers are Ray Tompkins, George Mengold, Jim Matey, and Bob Hurd. One of the girls’ physical education teachers is Mary Pereira. Andy Oros is their ancient history teacher. Dotty Couch is teaching biology; Steve Hummel, math; Sally Duffes, French; and Dottie Feltovic, business education. As I was telling Pauline, Kenny Waite and Mike Abbruscato, partners in a thriving cabinet-making business, made some cabinets for Peg Thomfeldt’s new ranch house. Rudy Beers is the owner and pharmacist of a new drugstore in Monroe, Sandra Miller has some very smart fashions in her busy dress shoppe, in Westport. Pauline said that Ron Baker is a surgeon at Bridgeport Hospital, and that Sue Wrabel, Bell Hall, and Ann Edwards are nurses on the staff. Bill Thomas, Garry Nichols, Dick Kennedy, Art DuBois, and Bruce Johnson, are engineers at various large concerns throughout the United States. Doug Millard and George Stockwell are the business managers of a large automobile firm in Detroit. In a recent letter Pauline received from Bernd Nehrkorn, he stated that he enjoyed his work as a nuclear physicist. Francis Unwin is making a career of the Air Force. Ron Edwards is in Alaska enjoying his occupation, trapping animals. Sue Kohut has just published her first book, and it looks as if it will be a success. Pauline asked me if I had read the newspapers the other day about Dave Bridge- man and Ron Murphy, two famous criminal lawyers, who are opposing each other in a widely publicized murder trial. Karen Bozogan, a well-known chemist, is now working on a new wonder drug. Carol Donohue, famous biologist, recently returned from an African Safari. Famous pianist, Judy Clifford, will make her debut at Carnegie Hall next month. Also, Cathy Kiriluk, Mary Warner, Ed Giroux, and Dick Girgasky are successful in their respective fields. Pauline said that someday we should arrange to have lunch with Betsy Hair, who is an executive secretary with a large advertising concern in New York. Pat Wyllie and Merry Jane Brainard arc working at the same concern as typists. I told Pauline that I saw Louise Ward the other day. She is a social worker in New York and is doing a fine job. Pauline said that at the beauty shop which she patronizes. Cookie Young is the proprietor. Rose Rabel and Barb Ellison are beauticians there. I was told that Bernice Paglinco is a dancer in a smash hit on Broadway. Pauline complained about a toothache and I suggested she make an appointment with her favorite dentist, Eric Geslien. Fred Lewis, our favorite disc jockey, is now with WINS. Stewart McKinney, a reliable veterinarian, treated my poodle recently when it was sick. Brad Ronkko works in New York as an accountant. What a coincidence that Dottie DeLuca was the chef at the restaurant where Pauline and I were having lunch. JoLinda Anderson and Pauline Wallick 26
