CLASS PROPHECY In J une of 1984, my annual vacation came up again, andI returned to my home to decide what to do with my three weeks leave. As I was leafing through some travel folders which I had obtained at a nearby travel agency, Icame upon a pamphlet entitled Visit Camp Mohawk. This set me remembering, a.nd I went up into the attic to go through some of my old things and reminisce a bit. In a trunk in the corner, I came across a n old and battered yearbook which was covered with dust. I cleaned it up and started through it. The yellowing pages brought fond memories of high school days, and suddenlyl knew what I was going to do with my vacation. I would look up all my old classmates and see what had become of them after twenty-five years away from Mohawk High School. The first few were easy to find. I just went through my New York telephone directory and found their addresses. BILL SOWERS was a tree surgeon, and his chief surgical nurse was DAVID SIGLER. LARRY VON BLON was President of the First National Bank of New York, while DICK BROWN was a lawyer, currently representing building contractor LOWELL VARNEY in a case involving something over a million dollars. Dick's legal secretary was JANE PINE. In talking to Lowell, I located two more of the class of '59. DUANE GOSHE and RONALD HUFFORD were both working on construction jobs in Baltimore. I took the train to Baltimore to see these two. They were working on adding a wing to a hospital. The staff of the hospital, to my surprise, was composed mostly of graduates of Mohawk. LYLE BELL and DON SHOOK were laboratory technicians. fThe lab by the way was in shambles.J CONNIE BEASLEY and JANICE TANNER were on the nursing staff, and CAROL PANCOST was head of the newly created department of food technology. Also working at the hospital, but not there at the time, were MAXINE SMITH, Occupational therapist, and RITA MAE ARBOGAST, dental Hygienist. Rita Mae, I was told, spent most of her time out of town, teaching little children the correct procedure of brushing their teeth. Having no further leads, I decided to travel to Mohawk itself and take up the search there. I went to the airport to buy a ticket, and who should the ticket agent be but I UNIOR SEIFERT. While on the plane, I noticed a wealthy-looking man wearing a ten gallon hat. He looked familiar, andl asked his name. It was BOB SHERMAN, he had made his million on the farm and now was out to live it up. The stewardess on the plane was CARRIE RINGLE. When I arrived at Mohawk High, I found that a large percentage of the faculty was members of the class of '59. Teaching first grade were MARILYN BURKS and GLORIA GINGERY. MARTHA GREGG and ROMA BARE were also teaching in the elementary department. Roma was dividing her time be- tween teaching and being a farm wife. DON ROSZMAN and BARBARA OSBORN were teaching in the high school. Barbara's field was commercial subjects, while Don was teaching mathematics. One of the prize pupils in the school, Don told me, was the son of JOYCE and ROBERT MOREHART. LYNN ADAMS, who cou1dn't make up his mind between teaching and engineering had solved his problem and was teaching engineering. In a small room downstairs marked Guidance Office I found CAROL BROUSE and ELLIE ROMANKO, who were quite happy as guidance counselors. 1Who'd have ever thought?j CAROL BROWN was the music teacher, and when I made inquiry about other class members, she put a record on the phonograph. It was the golden voice of NEIL HARTSCHUH,backedbythe big-Band soundof EDSON SMITH and his Disloyal Canadians. Industry, it seemed, had grown up near Mohawk. In v8ri0LlS OffiC6S in the area. Ifound SUZANNE SCI-IRYER, J' ANE GRIFFIN, ,TOANNE MC DERMOTT, SUE TAYLOR, PHYLLIS STONE, SHIRLEY WALTERS, LOUISE MILLER, and JEAN MASKEY working as secretaries. Jean Walker, too, was a secretary, but I was informed that she did little work. She spent most of her time sitting on the boss's lap. VIRGINIA MELROY, IRENE BREYLEY, and DARLENE RANSOM had recently given up their sec- retarial jobs to devote all their time to married life. 25
