At length we've come to Sonny Boyd; A mechanic he will be. He's quite a hunter and fisherman, too. A good natured fellow Is he. And now that we have reached the end It's evident to see. That I, the writer of this poem, A poet will never be. Robert van Wormer CLASS PROPHECY One day while we were wandering along the midway of the 1970 Morris Fair, we spied a fortune teller's tent. Being naturally curious we ventured inside- our first thought being of the whereabouts and activities of our former class- mates . The mercenary Swami began her tale by locatin in her crystal ball Mrs. Harriett Bedford in California. During the years following the happy school days in the old Alma Mater, she has become the mother of four quarreling child- ren. Almost every day you can find her talking over the backyard fence to her neighbor and old school chum, Mrs. Jeanne Patrick. During the conversation in- numerable cherubs of the Patrick family heller and yell in the background. As we catch snatches of the conversation, we learn that Miss Gena Gould, the sec- retary of a famous society woman,has been traveling about the countries of the world with her employer. She has efficiently and expertly dodged all the rich and eligible bachelors. For entortainnent in California one of the best known places is the Mocam- bo where James Hamlin and his famous orchestra are giving evening performances. Since the good old days he has progressed quite rapidly in the field of music and has become known across the country. Traveling eastward as far as the Rockies, we bring into focu3 a lone cab- in. Can it be a hermit? No, on closer Inspection we see on Foote and surely he is no hermit-by the looks of the beaten path to his door. We also see Wayne Harrington who is running as lumber camp in the Rockies. Evidently his great ambition to become a forest ranger is well underway. En route we come across a retired tramp-now he has taken to a bicycle. Ah, yea, it's our eccentric friend, Bonsall Wheeler. We follow him to Pennsyl- vania where he enters a majestic tent owned by the prosperous electrical tech- nician, Francis Klindt. Changing our position and looking into the crystal ball from another ang- le, the scene turns to New York State revealing some of the graduates of 195D, who have stayed in their home state. Cruising up Fifth Avenue in New York City, we look on Lenny's harem. Now that he has retired on the millions he made with his band, he can find time to spend with the women. Out of the hustle and bustle of New York City we see Robert van Wormer, now the head of the psychiactric hospital in Westchester County. In his leis- ure time he attends the operas. On the recently constructed Super Highway connecting New York City and Albany, we see a modern garage run by Clifford Pickens and Earl Boyd, both are married and have settled down after their flirtatious final year at Morris. The Super Highway takes us fight into Albany where we see a spacious Vogue Beauty Salon on State Street. Looking in the front window we see Barbara Hull bedecked in silks and satins giving instructions to the other beauticians. Her favorite customer is the Governor, upon whom she very personally waits and gives him his weekly manicure. There may be more to this tete a tete than meets the eye.
