Class Prophecy Time: 1960 Place: Newington, Connecticut After many years away from school, we returned to the newly-built Newington High School. As we enter the north door, we are met by classmate. Betty-Lou Johnson, head of the Commercial Department, and June Hamilton, head of the English Department. As we walk down the hall, we see Mr. Bowes outside the office talking to the school nurse, Jean Sills. Eleanor Stamm, school secretary, is busy working in the office. k As the lunch hell rings, we leave the high school. We stop to eat at Eddie Baranski’s new diner, recently designed and built by Russell Turgeon. As we walk in, we are met by Manager Joe Alfano and Hostess Gladys Stillman, who show us to our table, where Ann Laskow-ski brings us the menu. Looking around our new surroundings, we find several of our classmates, Warren Nyborg, Bill Nelson, and Jerry Flaherty, seated around the piano listening to the music of Richie Hall. After finishing our meal, we bid farewell to our former classmates, and leave for the gas station around the corner. We see the sign, “Howie Jackson’s Service Station, Manager Richie Patz.” After chief mechanic Dick Pe-tano wipes off our windshield, we leave for the Newington Theatre. We buy our tickets from cashier Eunice Bates. Our tickets are taken at the door by Bushy Grabowski. As we enter the inside lobby, we see Steve Arre. the officer now on duty. We are ushered to our seats by Assistant Manager Janet Reckert. We happen to sit next to Claire Bausola, Dolores LaClair, and Sophie Soltys, who tell us that Cliff Ehlert and Dick Heywood are now licensed projector operators and are running the camera for tonight’s performance. Following the film, we hear a short rendition of organ music by Lois Hall. The show opens with the dancing team of George DiPace and Dorothy Eddy, who dance to the music of Milly Hollis, Heinz Jaeger, and Kenneth Doolittle. Master of ceremonies, Allan Carlson, introduces the Barber Shop Quartet consisting of A1 Ginn, George Oswell, Johnny Kuhlman. and Russ Machol. A comedy debate on Highway Safety by Alan Rowland and Eddy Myers follows. Clara Kornak does her now famous impersonation of Rudolph “the blue-nosed” Samek. The show closes with a grand finale which includes all the cast. The costumes were designed by Shirley Dawson, and Shirley Norton was wardrobe mistress. ()n our way out of the theatre, we meet Manager Alice Sespaniak, who tells us that Wally Schultz has just opened his new drug store next door. We stop there for sodas and see Lorraine Blinn behind the counter. At a corner table Alison Stevens is seated, talking to Bobby Westermeyer and Jack Gallup. A short distance behind them is Steve Dallas at the pin ball machine. Peggy Daniels stops in for a candy bar on her way to work in Jimmy Keane’s Law Office, which has just opened on the floor above. As we leave the drug store to see Jimmy, we notice familiar names on the doors of the new office building. There are Ray Bolles and Joe Sar-thory, Insurance Agents; Andrea Mahan, ()ccttpational Therapist; and Dick Waterman’s Travel Agency. It seems Jimmy employs a number of our former classmates. Seated at typewriters are Peggy Galbraith, Dottie Olisky, Peggy O’Connell, and Beverly Blinn. Jimmy informs us that Elina Parker is now an executive for a New York business concern. After seeing all our classmates, we leave them and reminisce on the many changes ten years have brought. We conclude that our class has been most successful. 26 The 1950 Sequin
