Tike Proplkecy of 1949 I T’S June again, and in the quiet little town of North Andover it is just ten years since the class of ’49 bade fond farewell to Johnson High. As we amble toward Finneran’s Drug Store, whom should we see entering ahead of us but our world-famous Shakespearian actor Dick Ganley, accom¬ panied by his personel manager Earl Simon. We waited until they had ordered one of Bob Finneran’s super-tantalizing sundaes before gathering up enough courage to speak to our now famous classmate. He recognized us at once and immediately began telling us what his rest in our fair town had revealed. He mentioned he had stopped at one of Dave Hollins’ Service Stations. As he waited for Arnold Sarcione to change the oil, they talked of their high school days. While they talked, who should drive up in a sleek new Buick but Dave Hollins himself, and his assistant manager, Charlie Roebuck. Among others that he had seen in town were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Driscoll, (Joan Connors), who had recently taken over coaching activities at Johnson High School, and were turning out first rate teams. After a long and tedious training, Sheila Cronin and Pat Cole had become the new school nurses in town. Judy Chadwick was doing astounding work as music supervisor. Buster Dearden, Gilly Lundquist, and Jimmy Tamagnine had purchased Woody’s and were doing a great business. Their motto was, “God helps them who help themselves, and you’ll need it if we catch you.” The police force in town had been improved immensely since Dick Hilton and Fred Soucy became the new Co-Chiefs. At last the old town hasr some strict discipline. Jackie Adams and Joan Finn are pharmacists at Meagan’s Drug Store. Doc¬ tors only prescribe, but they say the secret is in the making. Bobbie Willoughby and Ruth Davis have reached stardom, in Hollywood as actress and concert pianist, respectively. We imagine the fan mail keeps their secretaries, Dot Dushame and Eunice Minzer, quite busy. Fhe modern Luther Burbank of our day is none other than our own, Arthur Forgetta. He is known world over for his remarkable crossings of various plants, but claims we haven’t seen anything yet. Gordon Marshall is the secret behind the success of Roland Baker’s used-car establishment. He overhauls the cars before Rollie sells them. While Jan Knightly takes over the kindergarten and library in her spare time, Joan and Jane Leighton hold down the seventh and eighth grades at the new Boxford Grammar School. Our co-valedictorians, Mary Finn and Justine Fitzgerald, have left North Andover to undertake new jobs in New York as chemical engineer and criminal lawyer, respectively. We’re sure they are headed for success in their respective professions. “High Commissioner of Baseball”, Jim Greene, rates the playing manager of the Red Sox, Fran Rivet, as the greatest short-stop since Lou Boudreau of Cleveland retired. Dave Kelley and Chuck Robinton are Publisher Dick Mooradkanian’s ace lens-snappers. Their action stopping pictures are in demand by newspapers and magazines throughout the country. Also on Mo’s stalf is Huck Howard, who is sports cartoonist; his cartoons also are in great demand. Connie Calabrese, Dot Conte, and Marie DeSimone have opened a baby sit¬ ting agency. They really keep the bleachers at Grogan’s Field filled during baseball season. 25
