Senior Class Prophecy Long Island, New York April 27, 1978 Dear Alberta fWhaleyl Shepard, I just heard about the arrival of your eighth son. If you keep it up you'll have as many as our old classmate Nancy fGossmanl Harris who now has nine sons. She always said that she wanted her own baseball team. Did you know that she is the jitterbug queen of Redfield? At her age, too? ' I was talking to Margaret fweinerl LeRoy last week. She told me that she and Roger had just bought the McLuney Airport. After a few minor repairs they'll be open for business. They're each going to teach classes in flying. Margaret's will be known as Maggie's Maniacs and Roger's will be Rod's Robots . Rachel and Butch Frame are living right next door to Raymond and me. Butch is an executive producer at Radio City Television Studios and Rachel writes the advice-to-the- lovelorn column Aches of the Heart . She has thousands of readers. I read about four of our former classmates in the newspaper just before I started writing this letter. James Murphy has developed a new satellite which will travel around the earth at a terrific speed, but he can't figure out how to get it off the ground. He gives all the credit to Mr. Wolfe, helicopter class instructor and rocket expert. Don Nelson is going abroad to study the farm situation. He's taking Judy and the twins with him. He has developed a new process for milking cows. The pharmacist, Terry Pletcher, and Dr. George McNeal were arrested last week for giving arsenic to Robert Dickerson, but Police Chief Max Brannigan and Detective Keith Reed released them later, calling it justifiable homicide. It seems Robert had been stealing candy pills from them and they slipped some arsenic-coated ones in among the candy ones. Jerry Rambo and Teddy Smith have their own garage now. Theyservicejet planes. Ted has signed up to be the first one to ride in a rocket to the moon. Jerry is going along to take care of the dog. Franklin Tracy bought a '78 Ford. He couldn't get along with his '54 Chevy any longer. It fell apart. He must be one of the thriftier ones from our class. Raymond Younkin has become a professional hobo. He only travels on the best freight cars. There's such a difference between him and his brother Bill who owns the Berry Pop Plant. Bill Tolley has a gambling casino in Las Vegas. He built it for his wife--the glamorous night club entertainer--Tootsie Roll. Douglas Thomas lost quite a sum of money at Bill's Place while playing blackjack. They must not play it like they do euchre- or he would have won. Ted and Jerry would be a cinch for this game, too. I haven't told you a thing about myself. I have a beauty salon on Sth Avenue with Dick Smith as my head hairdresser. Well, I must close for now. Raymond is boxing for the middle-weight championship tonight and I have lots to do between now and then. Sincerely, Vonnie llflayhurstl Reed P. S. Have you read Larry Houk's latest book? This one is quite different from the others he has written. It tells a true story.
