( ' [.ASS OF TlIlUTY-FJanT The Prophecy of the Class of 1 938 Miiillui A. Sli, Ill- Mil ni A. Til mil IK I sec by till- stars tliat in many nionns to como : Tlic Wri rlit Iji-otliei-s now own tlu ' Shaw eran- ry botrs and larie Wri rht. the former larie T.uti of the class of ' 38, sits on the shore and keeps tally on her husband. Crawford. In her hours off dnty from the ] I•lssaehu■ etts General Hospital. Marjorie Lynch sjjends her time p ' avin r cards. Her favorite game is Jacks. Stately and gracious Helen lerrihew walks before the elite of Paris, modeling clothes for the famous dress designer. Sehaii)arelli. Vox Pop has now changed its radio program from a questionnaire to a ta ' king eontest. Tli. winner of this contest has been Mrs. .Teniiy l ai-- tlielmes. former Miss Jennie lawhiiiney. of the class of y,s. Mary lurdock is fulfilling her life ' s desire. She spends all her time heckling the Eng- lish teachers who made life .so miserable for her during her higli school career. Still as sweet and (juiet as ever, Aili Paan- anen is one member of our former class who is going to enjoy life before old age. She makes yearly tri])s to Finland. Who knows but some day she will find a pebble on that foreign shore to fit lier heart ' s desire. ' Marion Patterson and (Jleiiice Perkins are still getting tliemselves in and out of trouble. The last report rumored around the town stat- ed that these two were likely suspects for i)aint- ing Piymoutli Kock red again. I wondei- if that certain young man will be there this time to help Pat ' ' out of her difficulty. My I the chickens down in AVaterville are act- ing fu.nny. Every time they scratch for food now tiiey mark x plus y ecjuals z. I guess Olive Poi ' tei- has been teaching them her great knowl- edge of algebra. By the way. you know Olive now runs a large farm all her own. don ' t you? She ' s one member of the class who went places. The Talk of the Town ' has been sold to our classmate Alice Plissey. The ])ai)er now has four pei-sonal columns in.stead of two. 1 wonder why. ' Coidd it l)e Alice ' s nose for news I was looking at the critic ' s column in the Xew York Times last week. To niy great surprise the name of our classmate. Doris Powell, was • ' ) . . Li II I ff J oil II II. SiiviKje there. Slic is now playing lier cello witli T.,t ' o- pold Symi)hony Orchestra. She makes histoiy as the fir.st wom;m ever allowed this privilege. liss Rarbai-a Raymond is now the secretary of tile great J. P. Morgan, lint Barbara has a vacation for two weeks every summer. During her vacation she still goes to Shady Lane whei-e her favorite past time is falling into li ' y ponds. As you know Helen Roberts, the Ijlonde. is now the private secretary of Mr. Walter (J. Hicks. I wonder why it is that Helen now sto])s at ( ' aswell ' s store in Xortli liddleboro on her way home from work. ' Could it be that a certain blonde from Bridgewater now di-ives the North liddleboro bus and nmkes a diiily stop at Ca.s- Avell ' s for gas . ' lany years have ] assed since our liii:li school days, but Helen Roberts, tin- l)i ' unette. still has her crowning features. Ilcr good looks anu pleasing personality made her the football (pieen of r.H.S. in 1986, and today I saw in my crystal globe that Helen was crowned Miss America. Clarion Thomas has finished her education at Colby College and is no v teaciiinL; American history at Memorial High. Just cari-ying on the family tradition, I guess. Down in the big ' metropolis of Carver. ] Iar- garet Oakland has opened a variety shoj). lar- garet tried to choo.se between three careers; singing, dietetics, and dress designing but the problem was so great she took up all three. She studies at the Conservatory of Music, at P ' annie Farmer ' s Candy School, and at Lelong ' s Dress Designing school respectively. Arlene Sturtevant, the quiet and domestic girl in our class, was secretary for the labeth Wool Concern in Plymouth for a while, but she met her Prince Charming down there in that lovely town and now she is married. Alone, alone, all alone, one could never say this about Barbara Taylor. She still has her boy friend, who now takes her back and forth to work. He used to bring her to school every n:orning of her four years in high school. I guess he was afraid ab.sence would make the heart grow fondei- for someone else. [24]
