CLASS PRGPHECY I-Io hum! Boy, am I sleepy! Oh, I mustn't forget Susan Law're1f1.ce. Remember Tommy Twaddle's soda fountain, It seems Susan and another soda jerk, Glen Stewart, have formed a company and bought out Tom. And from what I remember, they were really rolling in the dough. john Marett is professor of history and space travel at Fitchville Tech. One of his main objectives has been to change the name of the city of Fitchville to Marettville and he has quite a backing, too. Bev McQuate and Mag Hess, who once might have had visions of becoming nurses, changed their minds fast when they were offered jobs counting money in the local branch oi' the U. S. Treasury. Some people have all the luck! VVham! Boom! Peg Meloy is at it again. She is the official setter-offer of the fireworks at Rochester. In her spare time, she puts pennies on the track of the NYC railroad. From the far-off regions of Saudi-Arabia comes word of a great discovery of oil, Pure oil, that is. The noble discoverer of this is Dave O'Hara. He insists he found oil by means of a Geiger counter but we have our doubts. Ianice Oney is busily engaged in giving square dancing lessons to the Eskimos.

CLASS PROP!-IECY I pulled the covers up and I tossed sleeplessly-I pushed the covers down and I tossed sleeplessly. The program celebrating the Silver Anniversary of colored TV had been too hair-raising and new I could not sleep. I finally drifted into that dreamy place of nowhere-halfway between consciousness and sleep-and the most amazing prooram of all appeared on the colored TV screen of my dreams- The N.L.H.S. Class of T956 in Review. Boots Bilton and Bunny Meyer have bought the largest carrot ranch in the world. They raise little rabbits and feed them carrots. My eyes blinked and the vision of Barbara Blalia came before my eyes. She has be- come the owner of a huge restaurant called Tops. jim Brown and Don Clmndler are now big tree surgeons. When thev have time they give free advice to The New London Greenhouse. I Shirley Byron has formed an all-star basketball team. Her star player is Swish Campbell. Of course he plays for the girls team. In the field of athletics Sue Case has made a name for herself. She is the first girl to swim the Vermilion River upside down. I turned over in bed and got some more of these red hot dreams. Mickey Close is married and has 18 kids. Their first names all begin with Z. To-in Buck Burrows owns a coon farm. I-le sells coonskin ca s to the kiddies when 7 ' P he s not out prospecting. I sat up in my sleep as if awakened by a scream and I could actually smell burning tires. I raced to the window and what should I see? VVell, it sure wasn't 8 tiny rein- deer. It was Hank Cramer and his relief driver l'Hernzit Cole. What was really fun- ny was that Fearless Art Frank was trying to wash the car by leaning out of the back window. The next channel had the program of jackie Gleason and Donna Davis. I knew her jokes would get her in trouble. They were followed by the Arthur Murray Dance Party. The chief dancer was Howie Dum, who did a few dances that Uncle Bay Anthony taught him. Dany Dunn finally accomplished his ambition. That was to go to Spain. I-lc speaks Spanish fluently now. Ervin Emerson has one child named after his trusty Green Chrysler products. Yes, youlve guessed it. His name is Hernando DeSoto. Bonnie Denslow is, just by luck, in the movie of the evening. They call the movie company Franklin and Denslow because joey does most of the directing. After watching the late movie, I drifted to sleep and then clang-I was awakened by Roger Fowlefs booming voice saying Testing-one, two, three. What a radio ant- nouncerl V Donna Foster has bought the controlling interest in the detention study hall and is making money substituting for kids who have time to make up. Lnetta Gaton has become a big wheel in the instruction of badminton. She has produced four world champions and has invented a new bird made out of parakeet feathers. Lila Heitsclze has become one of the finest advisors to the President that has come along in years. I should say that she tells him. She's married to him. Ruth Keifer still contends that they don't know the truth about Ruth. She is giving lie detector tests to all the people that say this to her. Howard Kessler has become a politician. l-le still goes by his nickname, Bull. Of course, everyone knows that Bill King is writing a column in the New London Times, but few know that the column concerns advice to the Love-Lorn. He writes under the assumed name of Penelope Prune. joan Kooken is happily married and has settled down to knitting typewriter covers to replace the ones that were in use at N.L.H.S. when she graduated. They have built- in pockets, too. Sponsored by Crumrine Cleaners
