CLASS PROPHECY MARGARET MOLLOY HENRY DE FOREST Wedding bells have rung again for two members of the Class of ' 54. This time the lucky coupie is Thelma Stevens and Russ Suereth. All twenty members of the class were able to be present. A 1 arc a Newell was maid of honor and Jack Wilson was best man. After the wedding we went to Jack Wilson ' s Village Inn in the heart of AAedfield ' s Great White Way. . Since leaving AA. H. S. Jack has built up a prosperous restaurant business. He plans to open a branch on Cape Cod in July. He is noted not only for his good food but his good taste in waitresses. Thelma told us that she was running a nursery school for the children of frustrated parents. After graduation the children take their sheep¬ skins and go home to take care of their parents. Russ is a top disc jockey at WHDH. He has a lonesome guy program and the Boston Barroom in the afternoon. He is currently featuring the records of a new Dixie-land Jazz Band, Renny DeForest and his Racoons playing the coolest jazz this side of Chattanooga. Renny has a large following among college students, especially Colby. Russ still dabbles in song, so he sang Gee for his bride. Shortly after Russ finished his song we heard police sirens. Jack had to cal! the police because of all the teenagers trying to get a glimpse of Renny. But Renny took care of that; he took out his rubber stamp and stamped his autograph on some napkins; this seemed to please the kids and peace was restored. John O ' Leary was the most outstanding among the guests. He had on shorts, a bright laced vest and a perky Tyrolean hat. When I asked him about his dress, he explained that he had just returned home from Europe. He worked this winter at a small Swiss Chalet as a ski and yodeling instructor. He wore the native dress to add a little color to the wedding. He went on to say that he would soon be wearing a checked hat and checked coat as he is going to take over for Pinky Lee this summer. John ' s motto is toast of two continents. Barbara Bowker flew east from San Francisco, in her own plane. Barbara is successfully displaying her paintings. Art connoisseurs from all over the world congratulate Barbara on her display. She has painted on the fuselage of her plane, pictures of all the cars that she has owned, starting with the faithful blue Merc. According to the critics Barb is the greatest artist since Picasso. In church I noticed a family that took up one and a half pews. This family I found out is Chuck and Sue ( Kennedy ) Munroe ' s. They came here from Pennsylvania in their long, long trailer. They have three boys and three girls. Chuck plays pro football, (we always called him pro ) for the Philadelphia Eagles. This year he was voted most val¬ uable quarterback in pro ranks. All the children look like Sue; they could have their own freckle contest.
