CLASS PROPHECY George Nye Cathy Sweeney Time sure flies when you’re out of school for here it is 1963 already. We had been planning to take in the plumbing convention for a long time and the day has finally arrived. I, George Nye thought I would bring someone with me to take notes, so I chose my secretary Catherine Sweeney. We boarded the plane with enthusiasm and with thoughts to our future plans. We were not seated long, however, when we heard a great number of scientific find¬ ings and theories being expounded so we called for the stewardess. To our surprise it was Carol Tammero. She had been working at this job for a couple of years and found it very interesting. We asked Carol about the noise and she told us that it was Pat “atoms ’ Harris. It seems as though Pat was arguing with some Russian. Well Pat is on his way to an atomic research center, for he is now a nuclear physicist and is working on a new theory, on how to resplit the split atom. We heard a familiar voice on the loud speaker but couldn’t quite figure out who it could be, so I went to explore. To my great surprise it was Bill Bowden who is n ow a great flyer. While circling the airfield for a landing we see a little red sports car zooming around the runway. When we landed we asked Rill and Carol about it and they tell us it is Pete Scribner with his new X55. He built it himself with the help of his ace mechanic Larry MacKenny. Pete and Larry have won all the races they have entered so far and are looking forward to winning their next, which is a race with some speedster known as Tiger, who can really go. He was discovered going to a fire. We talked awhile with our classmates and then decided to get a taxi and be on our way. I whistled for a cab and was really surprised to get one with huge black print all over it. On closer observation it read Josie Bravo Airport Special. It was good to see that name again and the taxi was a fifteen seater—some boat! On talking to Josie, she told us that she and Nancy Rogers have had the taxi service for four or five years now and business is booming. By the way, it’s the only women’s taxi company in the world. Nancy and Josie have thirty taxis in all. They guarantee fast service. Their most famous customer is Janice Hutchins. Janice is now known for her lectures on Parisian fashions. She designs, fashions and models her exquisite dresses which are famous everywhere. y We leave the convention after a while and coming out of the hall we- see two marines coming up the street singing the Marines’ Hymn. On closer observation we are glad to find Buddy Guy and Mario Catenacci. When talking to the boys we find they just love the marines and have signed up for another twenty years. They sure

1957 - 1958 Here we are! Seniors at last! This is the last year at our old homestead, Medfield High School. We started the year off with the organization of the yearbook, under the super¬ vision of the editors, Carole Ehnes and Patrick Harris. Marjorie Sargent, Nancy Seeley, Catherine Sweeney, Josie Bravo, and Carol Tam- mero are the senior cheerleaders. As the months slipped by, we put on record hops and held scrap drives. One of the most successful of these paper drives was held on March 9, 1958. On March 15 we held a St. Patrick’s Dance in the high school auditorium to raise additional funds for the yearbook. The Knights of Rhythm were featured and a St. Patrick’s couple was chosen. During the same evening the Yearbook Staff disposed of many pictures used in the past and present editions of the PEAK. During April the Senior Class held an innovation in dances. It was the Bermuda and Socks Hop on April 11. This was the first of its kind at Medfield High School and was enjoyed by all. On April 18 the annual Minstrel Show took place, thanks once again to the generosity of Tom Sweeney. Many seniors had an active part in this Medfield spectacular and gave the audience a happy evening. May 17 was the date of our Senior Remembrance Dance. It was at this function that we really began to feel a touch of regret that our high school days were almost over. Now as we sit here May 27, at the Junior-Senior Banquet we look forward to June 4 the date of our graduation, a night we know we will never forget and to the climax of our high school days, our Senior Reception. So this has been our life as it is written here to go down in history the Class of 1958.

are grateful to some old recruit way back in high school. We couldn’t seem to recall his name though, something like Horace. Well they sure are grateful anyway. Buddy and Mario recommend a famous nightclub where we can eat. We get the directions, bid the boys farewell, and hop into Josie’s taxi again. Riding along we see a sign which reads “Kenny’s Cadillac.” Kenny Wilson is the proprietor and specializes in new and used cars—mostly used. We drive up a long driveway and into a huge and beautifully run nightclub. We can hear the music from outside and it really sounds good. The sign tells us that it is Pete Frame and his Dixieland Five. Pete is doing well in his music—another Jim Dorsey. He is also quite popular on the local school committee. Upon gazing around I noticed a familiar face behind the bar mixing cokes like mad. It was none other than Frannie Rossi. This is Frannie’s second job as he specializes in raising his several race horses. His best jockey is Jane Hinkley and all his horses are trained by Bill Anderson. Frannie tells us that Jane and Bill made a good pair and are pulling in wins everyday. We see a familiar face winding through the crowd, followed by several pretty females. Surprisingly enough it is Joe Dugan, owner of this chain of Joe’s Rendezvous. We call Joe over and he tells us he has several of the ole gang working for him, in this, his most famous secluded spot. All the beautiful mahogany bars and furniture are made by Don Wilson who is now equally well known for his cabinet making. He has his offices all up and down 42nd Street. Joe seats us at a very nice table and calls over his head waiter Richard to take our order. He tells us to stay around for awhile for the floor show, starring another of the old gang, Nancy “The Voice” Seeley. She has made several records and is still waiting for her first hit. She almost made a hit last month with that favorite song—“Around the Moon in 80 Years.” By this time we were very hungry and as I turned my head I met with a sudden crash, we looked to find the head waiter Richard Swallow was so enthralled in what he was thinking (about the ole History class) that he tripped, and our food was now sprawled all over Richard in many different designs and patterns. After a wonderful visit at Joe’s we decided to walk through the park in order to get some fresh air. Here we met Margie Milton otherwise known as Sargent. Margie is busy now with her eleven children, but is very happily married. Talking to Margie we learn that three little Margies are taught in school by Carole Ehnes. At the same school Bill Barth is chief truant officer. Bill has an excellent record of catches this year. He is really good at it! We leave Margie to her children who by this time are very happily fighting with just about everyone in the park. We get a cab, bead for the airport and seated in the plane are a very tired pair. Yes, we may be tired and worn out, but we carry home many old memories of our classmates and, also, a new super duper garbage disposal unit.
