weight champion, and his opponent, Tcddie Tower, who had to lose 20 pounds within a week in order to make the weigh-in. The champion’s manager, Bob Kane, is very confident that his boy will be victorious, because of his speed and agility. As they enter the theatre and stumble their way to their seats, they find they have been taken by Mary Ann Matson, the world’s strongest lady wrestler. All the other seats are taken but one glance at her and they decide it would be healthier if they stood up at the back of the theatre. Who should they happen to stand beside but Bruce Warila, professor of English at Harvard University. From him they learn that another classmate is also in the teaching profession. It ' s Bev O’Toole, who has just returned to Maynard High to teach her favorite subject, French. The show begins, and M.C. for the night is the famous Tom Duggan. He has a warm welcome for the people and tells them they are in for a big surprise. There are a number of celebrities whom they are going to meet. The curtain opens and the melodious music of Francis Quinn ' s Orchestra is the background for the dancing of the Certainly Girls. Among these talented girls who have replaced the June Taylor Dancers are Audrey Alberi, Eleanor Konowicz and Lee Butler. Their outstanding routine is a fitting beginning for the show. The next entertainer has the audience holding their sides with laughter. He is the one and only Billy Clayton, who has risen to fame in a few short years. Following this humorous act is a solemn bal- lad from Mozart sung by Evelyn Harding, accom- panied by Jeanette Hayes on the banjo. For a change of pace, a breath-taking trapeze act is performed by the nimble Peter Januskewicz. There is a great disappointment to the audience as they are told by the M.C. that Bob Jarmulowicz, the unsurpassed ballet dancer, will not be able to perform because he injured his ankle. But wait! ! The renowned Abe Kaufman has generously agreed to help a worthy cause by filling in for him, singing one of his most popular numbers, O Sole Mio.” As the show comes to a close, the M.C. announces the celebrities in the audience. As each is announced, there is a loud round of applause. The first celeb- rity is Herbert Cremer, high-scoring center for the Celtics. He is well-known for breaking the single game professional scoring record by scoring 66 points in one game. The next celebrity is the famous movie actress, Dorothea Murphy, who has just completed her latest film, Shade From the Elm Tree,” which was directed by the capable Phil Williams. Last but by no means least, is the beautiful Kathy Niemela, Queen of the Orange Blossoms. Soon flickers of light from the present began to enlighten the minds of Nancy and Tom. The trance was broken. Nancy and Tom came from the hypnotist in a gay holiday spirit for they realized that all of their classmates were successful, happy people. Audrey Albert David Crotty 24

Prophecy April 23, 1976 was a rather stormy, miserable day but Nancy and Tom were determined to make it a happy one since it was their Fifteenth Wedding Anniversary. They had planned a lovely day for themselves and had prepared the household. The four children were left in the care of Joan Kankanpa, a faithful governess. The cook, Nancy Allen, and the maid, Barbara McNamara, were given the day off. Tom allowed the butler, Charles Hayes, to bor- row the new super colossal limousine designed by David Nelson for the Hyden Limousine Corporation. All things being complete, Nancy and Tom started off for town. Their first stop was to be at the fortune teller who had formerly predicted that they would be married. Upon their arrival they were astounded to find that the old fortune teller’s booth had been taken over by a hypnotist, Gerard D’Errico. Having been in- fluenced by the advertisements, made up by the Crotty Sign Company, they decided to submit themselves to hypnotism. As the words of the great D’Errico, Sleep, sleep,’’ penetrated their minds they slowly drifted into a deep trance. Soon they found them- selves in a miraculous, wonderful place called the Village of Prosperity.” At this magnificent village they are met by the mayor, Fred Wilder, and his secretary, Betty Chap- man. The mayor is delighted to see them and not only had he been planning a tour of the village but has purchased tickets for the Variety Show of the year, produced by the multi-millionaire, Donald Pres- cott, and directed by Charles Madden. As the group begins their journey, they meet Karl Larson who has just finished inspecting part of the city’s subterranean sanitation. They learn from Karl that not only does he work to keep the village clean, but another classmate also plays an important part in this civic position. Robert Ferreira is the succes- ful head of the street cleaning department. Further down the street they notice a huge tin tooth which is the symbol of the dentist’s office owned by Josephine Massarelli, the most popular and only dentist of the village. Right next to her office is the Parisienne dress shop owned by Carolyn Quirk, whose top model is Regina Sokolowski. Across the street they see a beauty salon and the mayor tells them that it is owned by Doris Piecewicz and Marty Mucciaccio. The travelers approach the center of town and they see the familiar figure of Albert Carlson stand- ing in front of his bank talking to his janitor, Richard Bernier. They hurry over to talk to him and in their conversation they learn about the prominent men of the village. First there’s the doctor, Bob Cutler, and his nurse, Janet Marsden, who have just opened an office in the village. There is another doctor of the village, Carol Seura, a horse doctor. Working side by side with Dr. Cutler is Joseph Graham, the undertaker who has gained a lot of experience since Bob arrived. Another prominent figure is James Smith, chief of police, who spends most of his time chasing Mary Higgins, the instruc- tor of Higgins’ Auto School, and her student, Elaine Kugima, the village librarian. The most il- lustrious lawyer is Robert Luosalo who has just won the famous case of Barilone vs. Hyden of the Limou- sine Company. There is a little confusion as to who is the owner of the company. Suddenly, a shrill noise is heard. They glance up- ward and see a silver streak which takes the shape of a plane as it slows down and lands in a near-by airfield. From Albert Carlson they learn that the pilot of the plane is Rosalie Butler and her airline hostess is Judith Corriveau. All are employed by the Ambassador of France, Lawrence Shorette. Also aboard the plane is Madeline Gabriel, owner of the Jello-fruit gum factory, and the well-known chewing gum taster, Nancy Duckworth. All are coming to the village to see the big Variety Show. As Nancy, Tom, and the mayor’s party leave Al- bert Carlson, they notice Caroline Lalli chasing her 12 children out of the candy store which is run by Carol Bondelevitch. The children see Dana Armour, the village dog catcher, and jeer and throw stones at him. But credit must be given to Dana because he has done a tremendous job. You no longer see stray dogs in the village. Time passes on and they decide that they had better hurry along to Spratt’s theatre so they will not miss the Variety Show. They arrive at the theatre simultaneosuly with Sandra Larkin, the lead- ing society woman, and her personal secretary, Sandra Hagerty. A large billboard in front of the theatre announced the main attraction of the show. It is a champion- ship match between John Bundalavitch, feather-
