Class Prophecy Just call me the guardian angel or more appropriately the little dirty-birdie of the class of 1955. Miny, miny, times have I been perched on the shoulders of these mighty seniors as they went about their chores and mischievious pranks. .I know that, flying around these past few days of their secondary education years, these happy-go-lucky kids with their friendly smiles and pleasant words will never change- and you just can't hardly get them no more!! I am now perched on one of the majestic spires of Cove Hi Castle and as I sit here in a Aves-daze I imagine myself fliting around and once more seeing my school chums. As I was out exploring outer space, I felt a slight breeze follow close by me and slowed down as I figured my little biddie-buddy birdie friend was noiselessly sneaking up on me-when to my surprise I discovered that I was on the wing of a brand-new airplane en- titled the 'tLeidy Livewire Lines. Remem- bering one of my former Cove friends I hop- ped in the window and saw Cove's Master Comedian, Mister Robert R. Leidy. CI suppose Bob thought it more economic to own his own airlines for those Emmaus business?? trips.J Peering into the cockpit who should be sitting there, but Wayne Frederick! Uh-ho here comes the stewardess. Why should she be going in there? Oh, now I see, that's the former Linda Nier.-Always knew those two were up in the clouds. As I flew back to the dining area, who should I see but Patty Holsinger! Listening in on a pleasant conversation between her and Linda, I learned that Patty is on her way, with her 1st prize winning painting of the All-Am. Football Star of the year, to an art convention opening in the great Metropolis of Curry Ville, where she will be greeted by the Democratic-bachelor-mayor, Gary Gartland. Well, so much for that! Now since I have been reunited with a few of my Cove friends, I've decided to look up the rest of them. Flying earth-ward, I was alarmed to see an airplane heading straight for me. Dig that cra-azy pilot with his eyes closed! Well, I might have known, it's none other than Ron- nie Klepser in an air force uniform. Finally arriving in Wen-Kroy City, I was absently window shopping along 5th Avenue when I came upon a beauty salon with this sign in the window, Carol 8a Ruths' Glamour Galour Salon. Inside the plush salon I rec- ognized Teeter and Greenleaf both talking to an old friend and their best patronizer, the former Lou Anna Shirk. She was telling them that her's and Anna Marie's sons were lst baseman and pitcher, respectively, of the Blue Jay Junior League Baseball team, coached by Bob Brumbaugh during his vacation from as- sistant coaching the Brooklyn Dodgers. Hearing the blasts and drum beats begin- ning a parade, I rushed along with the crowd to line up and watch. The leading car was a new Cadillac in which sat the recently honor- ed 4-Star General and his wife. Straining my eyes I discovered that she was our one-time friend, Lys Martin. As the many units of the parade marched by, I became interested in a newspaper lying on the sidewalk. There on the second page was a large wedding picture of Donna Paul. Lucky she! Married her rich boss. Reading the elaborate ceremony description I learned that the former Joan Dodson was her matron of honor and Joan's small twin daughters were the flower girls. Turning to the advertisement section I read such ads as: 'tWe manufacture unexcelled boxing gloves used officially at Madison Square Gar- den.-George Smith, Jr. 8z Frank M. Keefer, owner-operators. ' ' 'tSee the new Mercurys and Fords at Piney Creek's leading auto salesman, George D- Smith. Big savings on trade-ins.-tHe al- ways did have a good line.J The movie announcements featured It large, half-page ad for the movie, Mapes - All American. This is considered the best movie of the year, not only because it portrays Betty Mapes :Sz her winning the Women's Olympics, but because co-starring with her is Ken Keasey. Butch became famous as the bobby soxers dre- eemy pop singer and is now known nationally as filmdon's leading debonair actor. The last ad was that of the opening of a new cooking school. It reads that Doris Cogan and Linda Hudson are the founders and also instructors of these speciality classes. ' As the parade broke up, I pushed along with the crowd racking my bird-brain as to where I could find the rest of my old chums. Then I remembered that several of the girls wanted to be nurses, so I took off full-speed for the new Cove Hospital since it was to hire local girls as nurses. Upon entering the hospital I was happy to see Ola Metzker greet the visitors as they walked 1n. She has a nice combination of stenographer-hostess job, and, always togeth- er, Betty Beach is head switchboard operator. Flying into the main corridor and nurses lounge I recognized the faces of Joann Ritchey head nurse of the pediatrics divisiong and nurses, Anna Mae Burget, Carolyn Bush and Marg Lou Ayers coming from the children's war. . Deciding to further inspect this marve- lous institution, I next went to the kitchen where Donna Snyder and Anna Grace Mc- Conahy were head cooks. When I got back to the visiting room I saw a large television set and several people were watching. So I looked too and discovered why they were so interested. .

Class Prophecy The program was introduced as Strum- min' Stoney and his Giddy Guitar, and the announcer 15, oh my goodness, it's Shultz or maybe you know him as Ray Showalter. And now here he is, your hill-billy ex- pert-Wayne Stonerook' . . . And now time for the sponsor. Kerrr-chew! l-low to prevent this? Just buy Sneeze-Proof Tissues. Why that girl sneezing is Donna Mae Hoover, hope tnls new invention helps her. Don't switch channels mister, I want to See this. Oh well, I guess he can't hear me. TV station WFBG now presents their own popular trio, the Jems' with Jane Brumbaugh, Eva Stern, and Marian Burns. Thank you girls for that lovely song? Gee whiz, that's Carol Brumbaugh announc- ing. l read somewhere that she is known as Cheerful Carol and gives a witticism dur- ing each station identification. I also read that Eva and Marian are successful housewives and that Jane has been given the Job as lst girl Concert Master of the l-'hiladelphla Pflll- l-larmonic Orchestra. Oh that man has switched stations again, Anyway l've still some more of my friends to see so l'll go hunt them up. There's Romaine Slick's new home. It's a mansion! She had old friend and now profes- sional interior decorator Jean Smith furnish it. Slick always said she'd have nothing that resembled a barn and this certainly doesntt, except maybe for size. And here's LaDonna Longenecker's dress shop. She is now a very well-known seam- stress. Gazing more distantly I see the newly erected white farm buildings of Don Pheas- ant, who runs a truck farm, and Richard Keith who raises hogs. As I flew still farther, I came upon a modern garage with this name. REX BEACH -MOTOR TRANSPORTATION 8a REPAIR GARAGE. I flew inside to look around, but instead of seeing Rex I saw Yvonne Longen- ecker. Vonnie is Rex's private and company secretary. Further in the garage I recognized Gerald Kauffman 8z Levi Dick, mechanics, exploring the depths of a GMC motor. And was to later learn that the motor was from the tractor of Dale Hooverts truck. Dale was awarded the driver-of-the-yearl' medal at a recent conven- tion. Seeing Yvonne's school chum Dorothy Crisswell walk into her office, I eaves dropped to hear these facts: The latest rage is the rise of Wayne Brumbaugh and Paul Hoover to the blissful stage of millionarism. On a visit to New York and a popular quiz show, the two were asked, What did the clam say when the crazy fisher- man caught him? These bright, but rather shy friends of ours said nothing, amazed the audienceg and won 5B60,000,000. Dorothy also was telling Yvonne that she had been to a lecture on North-African wild game, presented by Joyce Frederick, just home from her most recent and outstanding hunting safari. Next rushed in Joanne Pote, just off duty. Iisee by her cap that she is a diabetic techni- clan. She carried a book of poems recently pub- lished by Nobel Prize Winner, authoress, Marian Constance. When they started speaking about a cir- cus arriving in town, I rushed over to watch the hustle-bustle of tent raising. Inside the Structure I recognized the pert uniform of a WAC and the frilly skirts of show-acrobats. As I approached I recognized Patty Maurer as the WAC and Janet Summers and Shirley Reed as the trapeze artists. Reading the billboard which advertised the many acts, I also read that the sponsor of the circus was the Sleep n' Snore for Sure Co. I recall reading that the sleeping pill formula was discovered and perfected by top chemist Marilyn Davis and that it was bought and manufactured by Joe Leach and as a demonstrater he has hired Richard Latchford. On my way back from viewing the circus activities, I passed a modern business shop which was listed as a typewriter repair shop operated by Art Dodson and John Brumbaugn. The next was a nice home that had a sign in the yard reading, Day N ursery-State Ap- proved-Hazel Kauffman and Donna Lee Stevens caretakers ?? Who is that coming down the walk with her children? Why that's the former Dolly Brumbaugh. After seeing all of these I decided to go back to the Cove where I knew that several of our studious ag boys have settled down in a co-operative farming town. They are Dick Hoover, Don Burket, Larry Ritchey, and Johnny Metzler. I guess they have a pretty nice set-up. They all work together and then on Saturday nights they invite entertainment in and also have their favorite actor, who is none other than Johnny, reproduce some of the plays that he has appeared in on Broad- way. I am now on my way back to Cove Hi. Oh yes, this new race track that Willie Brown, Cove's champion stock-car racer, has built for students having nothing to do in study hall but sleep, is a pretty good idea. Roar-r-r-r-r-r-r-r Roar-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r My what is that noise? Oh, it's that new helicopter that brings the mail out to school. Yes, that's how it is. Cove High still ex- ists and is prospering as my '55 friends are prospering. Good luck, class of 1955. Hope we all meet again.
