Class CProphecy It is a dull rainy afternoon, in the autum of 1950. I sit before the open fire listening to the patter of rain drops upon the roof, my mind wonders and slips slowly into subconsciousness. Memories of M. A. T. I. pass through my mind and suddenly the class of 1945 passes before me. The girl we remember as slow but sure turned out to be very loyal to her alma mater. For the last two years Roberta Andrews has been teaching freshman foods at Morrisville. Racing over hill and dale you will still see Iohn Bell with his butterfly net. His hobby has turned into a business. Phil Allen. the girl who was sure she would marry at 22 certainly surprised everyone. Two years have passed and she still hasn't roped her man yet. No one would ever guess what Edgar Campbell is doing now so I will have to tell you. He is known throughout the country as the fastest and and best auctioneer of the day. Kay Byme's life turned out similar to her plans. She is now the proprietor of an exclusive restaurant in Syracuse. Curt Fretz is the cordial greeter dur- ing the dinner hour. Shortly after our graduation Prof. Harter retired from his dairy lab. duties. Dave Carter seems to have taken over the business for him. Dave is different from the Prof. however, for he is the only one who knows where the key to the ice cream cooler ls. Our former Gladys Clemons is doing Hne in hold- ing down the job on Charlton Hill. She is doing her best to keep up with the lones's. Byron Grimm has done pretty good for himself in the novelty pin business. lf it weren't for the censorship we might tell you a few of the old ones. The blue-eyed bomb shell bomber of the class. Doris Fuller, has settled down and has become a model wife and mother. Doris and hubby live near the Colgate airport. If you happen to walk down the street in Albany and smell the familiar essence of cigar smoke you can be sure you are passing the swankiest jewelry store in the city. Leon Gruskln is the proprietor. Iune Spohr has passed the one step she dreamed of after her lirst practice period and is now the manager of the Nelson House CoEee Shoppe. In the Morrisville Leader you might read the ad for A Cigar holder free if you will make a date with me. T. V. Taggart has Finally resorted to this to get a girl. Marion Twiss, former Sargent Twiss, is now teach' ing in a well known high school. Her mixed class is studying the proper way to neck. Marcelia Woodrui is now the favorite bathing suit model for I. R. Power. She is busy writing to every one else's boy friend. As you pass by the biggest farm in Brookfield, look for Don Larkin the proud owner and manager. After graduation from M. A. T. I., Mildred Gris- wold steered her course to bacteriology. Her mind often wonders to Sherburne. For a little diversion. we lind George Grogan pacing the platform. calling out, Step right up ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin. Chuckie Huestis has her name in neon lights out in Hollywood where she has taken over Martha Raye's place. Bob Hunsicker is the proud owner of the Burden House. Betty Larkin is the gracious hostess at the Stage Door Canteen. Curt Keyes, well known bach of Morrisville, pays frequent visits at Helyar. Mrs. L. Wilson is the manager at the C. C. S. and is bringing up a crew. Rod Iennys is the new man about town. The girls can whistle all they want. Tum on your radio any night to a Mass. station at 8:45 on the coast to coast hook-up and you will hear the strains of When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again. You will be assured that Ruth Williams is on the air with her 15 minute musical program. The blurred vision disappears. I wake with a start and llnd that I have been dreaming, yet I can't help wonder if any of these dreams are true.
