Class Prophecy In on unemployment office one must al- ways be prepared for a busy and a surpris- ing day. It was a beautiful Monday morning in May 1960 when something unforeseeable happened. My secretary told me that I had an office full of people awaiting my arrival, so into the boisterous room 1 walked. I was shocked to find half of my high school classmates there. I couldn't help wondering why they were at my office. Judy, spokesman for the group, explained that they were looking for new and different positions. The big city, full of adventure, seemed to be stretching its arms for them. Looking over the list of positions that were open, I discovered that I had a suitable one for each applicant. I had an opening for the principal of the local reform school and I knew no one but Albert Gurner could possibly fill that place, but then again perhaps Dutchie LaCroix would be a betier disciplinarian—no the position went to Albert. I asked Judy if she was feeling in good physical condition because I had a good- paying job which I knew she could handle. They were looking for a lady wrestler at the Madison Square Garden. Judy gladly ac- cepted and left with David Clark, who had accepted a job as an embalmer. | knew David would take care of Judy. I was so happy to see Pat Kubacki again. We started to reminisce about our classroom antics back at Millis High, especially the antics during lunch hour. Pat used to chase Dutchie all over the room, always managing to get him into trouble. Pat was a serious girl though. She always had her nose stuck in a book so I placed her in the New York City Library. She was thrilled to think of her very learned surroundings. Mary Maranjian told me of the where- abouts of some of our classmates. She said Barbie Burdows was a gun moll in the Bowery and Pat Murphy, long known for her charitable deeds, is firmly established there as a social worker—ably assisted by George Lipsett—a perfect example of her work. I gave Mary a position as a confi- dence lady. 1 was a little hesitant about placing Billy Clark as head waiter at the Stork Club when 1 remembered our Washington trip. Billy cleaned everyone's plates and that certainly wouldn't do at the Club. However, Billy convinced me that I should hire him, so 1 did. Billy told me that Donald published a best-seller. The title was “How to Sell Yourself.” Conversing with Betty Smith, I was re- minded of cheerleading days in high school. In our senior year we cheered ourselves hoarse. We certainly had a team to cheer though. Betty walked out of my office ‘on top of the world.’ She was to become Dag- mar’s stand-in. Roderick Washer was chosen to pl ay Hamlet for one of Shakespeare’s companies on Broadway. His part in the senior play in which he expressed himself beautifully gave him the experience he needed. His sister, Becky, the talkative one, is now speaking in Congress. She was hired to filibuster by Hazel Lipsett who is now Chairman of the House. Dutchie related to me some disastrous events which occurred while he was chief plumber in Millis. He had the town flooded for three days—seems like old times. He will now have the chance to flood the city of New York. Donnie Frink had news of Jimmy Murphy. I told him I never read the sports page and I was astounded to learn that Jimmy was the football star of the Philadelphia Eagles. With colored television now, you can see Donnie’s pink face as he emcees on “Fash- ions for the Ladies.” Joan Thatcher is what you might call the leader of “The Old Maid’s Club. She sends her side-kicks to Joan Tabor’s charm school and has them married off in twelve weeks. Jackie had perhaps the saddest news of all. Poor Eddie Roak lost his charm with the girls and has lived as a hermit. He hasn't spoken to a girl in five years. Jackie has joined the New York Police Force where she trains the men in ju-jitsu. Sounding off next was our auctioneer Mr. Grange, himself. Jimmy Power decided to start using his underworked vocal chords. He told us that he and Gerry together have been compiling information for a book to be published under the title—MILLIS CONFI DENTIAL—by Christian and Power. We are willing to bet that it will be a sure best seller. After everyone had gone, a good day’s work accomplished, I reminisced over the past. High school is the happiest of all to remember. Our class motto “Thoughtfulness is the essence of friendship; friendship is the es- sence of a happy life’’ has inspired us to be good, happy men and women. —Nancy Brodeur twenty-three
