ASS PROPHECY - 1950 CL Good Morning, ladies and gentlemen! This is your swami, john Grinnell of the class of 1950, who will try to peer into h my crystal ball. With the future throug ' L noivtacov the cry- the magic word of a d I can see ahead to the year stal clears an 1960. irliner. I see a fast moving super-sonic a Looking around inside I sight some familiar faces-Loretta Janiak the class worrier- still wondering if we'll be on time, Ther- esa Sullivan - now a well loved social worker, t'Power and Welding Cole, co- owners of a Supersonic Garage and Eileen Marques, proprietor of the world renown- ed Madame Olga's Beauty Shoppe. Barbara Hathaway and Joanna DeLuz act as our very eliicient air-line hostesses. They see to it that we are comfortably seat- ed and happy. Our millionaire pilot, Ray Pepin, and his penniless co-pilot - the Ford man, Bruce Murdock, will see us, we to a safe journey's end. In a few seconds we land at Washington Municipal Airport, Washington, D. C. Here we pick up Jane Collis - loathe to leave her 1948 Lincoln. jane does private chauf- fering for such celebrities as Arnold Madei- ra, famous filibustering Senator from Mass- achusetts and Tubby Pacheco, of the Cros- ley Enterprises. Pacheco has just returned from the Capitol where he has unsuccess- fully tried to get up a petition for the en- larging of the Crosley. We see getting aboard such well-known sports figures as Charlie Crowell, Leo Doy- on, Wally Mis, and Rudy Bociek, all members of the unbeaten Schemers, Ping-Pong Championship Team. With them, just in case of a casualty, they have two nurses, Gerry Wolfe and Rhea Giguere. Whoa! Here comes Julio Fortes, galloping down the runway. He is still suffer- ing a few ill effects from his last boxing bout in which he won the world's paper- weight title. As we reach our destination, Miami, Florida, our pilots are all smiles because they have just completed their record hop. As we leave the plane we find Ernest Faulkner, Frank Gomes, Richard Oliver, and Charles Tillet working as members of ' - Oh my gosh! -- under the direction of Leonard Ellis. the g hope, round crew, working Fifty-five

With a See you all later , we board the bus for our hotel. As we cruise along Flugler Avenue, a few neon signs catch our eye - Allain and Dalrymple, Deluxe Wrecking Co. and The Lazy-Jane Dress Shop owned and operated by the Mesdames Barbara Cejka and Gabrielle Desorcy. The last sign is over a candy shop which is managed by Betty Ann Green and Mary Manley, two of the sweetest girls in the world, in our humble opinion. , Finally we arrive at the Hotel Sheraton where we are greeted by the manager who is none other than our old classmate, Bob Bedard. Bedard has made all arrange- ments for us - we hope! As we enter the hotel ballroom later on, we see Conrad Linkiewicz and his Elastic Band playing Music With A Snap . The vocalist is Lorraine Mello doing, as well as ever, her old stand-by, My Hero. Next on the program is Tillie Santos, now a famous dancer. After listening to selections from our, Cahemlj orchestra, we hear a few imitations by Mae Ann Hughes, now Mrs. Amos Souza. Among the dancers on the floor we spot Mr. and Mrs. Gene McCoy, Mrs. McCoy is the former Alice Pittsley, and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Lach, Mrs. Lach is the former Terry Boswell. In a corner we see resting, per usual, a group of distinguished looking gentlemen among whom are Joe Perry, inventor of the Board Stretcher, Bill Stawasz and Bill Balthazar who are still trying to discover how long a short circuit is. With them is Harry Faulkner, ace detective of the Crime Wave Detective Agency. Next we move into the dining-room where we find seated at a table, after three- or was 'it four servings? - the following classmates - foot testers for General Mills, Les Hacking and Les Manchester. Incidentally, May Eger, Elaine Doucet and Justina Monteiro have taken over the management of the Foods Department at Gen- eral Mills. The boys have been enjoying the 5.95 blue plate special, prepared by Eddie Nowicki and his able assistant, Ronald Piva. The following morning we find ourselves walking along the shore of the beautiful beach at Miami. On one of the tennis courts we find Eileen Caton and Arlene Car- doza, playing a set with their husbands. Cheering them on the sidelines are the con- firmed bachelors, Dick Baker and Eddie Soares. Official scorer and ball chaser is Alex Knox, a professional football player with the South End Ramblers. They have just had a tremendous season - nine losses to one win! As we continue along, we see on the two-foot diving board, Marion Kenyon and Peggy McKenna, coaxing their children to dive. Their husbands were unable to accompany them because of trouble in the stock market. Above, on the eight foot diving board are Emerson Keyes and George Johnson, movie stunt men, doing their own special swan dive. Esther Williams and her director are watching them in order to learn what not to do! On the horizon appears a luxurious yacht bearing the name S. B. V. D. or un- abbreviated, Sponsored by Vocational Dues . As the yacht draws closer to the pier, we see that at the wheel are Admiral Raymond Wilbur and Commander Louis L. Dumont who were, if we remember correctly, our President and Treasurer. 'Nuff sed! In the rear of the yacht doing some deep sea fishing are Ernie Seney, D. Stevens and Norman Mathieu, Retired. Bob Aitken, reel expert, also Retired, is supervising. Doing a good job of shining up the brass are the cheerful deckhands Arthur Con- ward, Donald Sylvia and Tom Fraher. ' Fifty-six
