Class Prophecy . . . ' 7 ' -!.'..f '1 Ladies and Gentleman: We are presenting the Class Prophecy, and we hope that it will prove to be amusing. In order to present this proph- ecy, I will read a letter which could have been received from Theresa Santaw in the year 1966. Theresa has just returned from a trip in New Yoik and thought I might be interested in some of our old classmates whom she met while on her visil.. Her letter is as follows: Dear Lucille: As I was strolling down 'ith Avenue Friday afternoon, I could see the sign on the Metropolitan Opera House flashing with the words, Miss Gabrielle Gagne Now Starring, so I paid 510 and went in. I was sitting in a front row seat so I had a perfect view. Gabby came out in a bright red slinky gown. She strutted up to the center of the stage and began her solo: Tutti Fruttif' She received the longest applause I had ever heard. After the solo I went back stage to speak to Gabby She told me her career had started with the N.T.H.S. Glee Club. You probably remem- ber she did sing loud. After leaving the Opera House, I went up to Radio City and walked in on one of the worst lights I've ever witnessed. Om' classmate, Shirley Cota, was having a terrible scramble with Ann Southern. Shirley was trying to run Ann off tele- vision and take over her job as Private Secretary. In my opinion it looked as though Shirley was winning, but I hurried out before I had a chance to speak to her. Watch for the next program, it may be Shirley Cota starring in Private Secre- tary. ' While watching television in my hotel room, I saw our friend, Sue Fidler, appear on the 564.000 Question. She chose the field of Psychology and she certainly knew all the answers. She told us that she was a psychiatrist, better known to some people as a head shrinker. I decided to visit Sue the next day. Walking into the office, I could see a woman lying on a couch. She looks down sadly and says, Madame, you have Schizophrenia Hydro-Phobia. After the woman left, I had a long talk with Sue. She told me that she loved her work. She told me that she was working to support her husband who wouldn't work, but she seemed very happy. Sue never liked to stay at home and do housework anyway. I didn't have anything to do, one Sunday aft- ernoon, so I decided to go to the Barnum Gr Bailey Circus at Madison Squ-are Garden. As I went in, I saw a tall, stout man. I thought he was one of the strong men, but who do you suppose it was? It was Earle Hulburd shouting, Peanuts, popcorn, crackerjacks, bubble gum! I spoke with Earle a little while between two of the acts. He told me that he liked the grocery business so well and was so disappointed when his father wouldn't sell him a partnership in the store, that he went into busi- ness on his own. Monday night, I decided to take in another movie, so I went to the opening premiere of the new movie, Cocktails For Eight At Ben's. As I approached the ticket taker I received another surprise, there was Joe Monteith. You remember hou Joe always was a glamor boy and wanted to be in the movies. Well, he finally made it! He looked so charming in that shiny new uniform. Tuesday afternoon, while window shopping, I saw a bright red truck parked along the street. On the truck were the words, Janice 8a Bruce, Street Cleaners. Janice was just getting out of thc truck, so I spoke to her. She told me that she had been married for three years and that she and Bruce moved to New York about a year ago to start a business. She said business was very good. She seemed very happy. A little further down the street was a man selling something. As I came closer to him he looked familiar. Then, as I passed him, he spoke to me. You'll never guess who it was. It was Richard, and he was selling a Do-It-Yourself Tcothpick Kit. The kit comprised one block of wood and one 10 cent jack knife. Richard is sell- ing this kit for Sl. He says he's doing very well. The people really go for it. . By the way Lucille, I saw your plumbing ad- vertisement in the New York Times this morning. How's business? You're the iirst woman plumber I've ever heard of, but I suppose you know your business as well as any of these men plumbers. As I remember Lucille, you were always interested in plumbers, Well, I've told you about all our classmates whom I've met since graduation, so, if you hear or see any of the others, I would be glad to hear from you. Your classmate, Theresa Santaw Page Twenty

Whom do you suppose I received a letter from? As I was coming home from work one night, I stopped to pick up my mail and while looking through lt, I realized that the handwriting on one letter looked familiar, so I glanced at the return address and it brought back thoughts of old times. The letter was from my classmate Lucille Gendron. She said that she had received the letter I had written and decided to write back and tell me about the trips she had taken while on her vaca- tion. The letter went something like this. Dear Theresa: I was glad to hear that our clessmatcs whom you saw were doing so well in their jobs. I'm sure they are enjoying them. Oh! by the way, as I was looking through the Sports Magazine I saw your picture and you looked bewitching in that space suit. I had real- ized while in high school that you loved your chemistry classes, but I never thought you would invent something like the Super Duper Atomic Rocket. It must be thrilling to be famous. One day while taking a camel ride in the Ne- vada desert I came upon an army camp where thousands of men were going through strenuous exercises. Going through drills with packs three times their own size, and who do you think was in command of such an outfit. It was Gilbert Mason, better known to his outfit as Old George. He was bellowing orders at the top of his lungs. Gilbert was the first man in the history of the United States to become an eight-star general. He cer- tainly is a career man. While on the Nevada desert, who do you think I also ran into almost covered up with sand? It was Marilyn Leavitt. After taking what looked like buckets of sand from her mouth she told me that she was selling the food she had learned to make while getting experience as a Home Econom- ics Teacher in the Arabian desert. better know now-a-days as the 4th and 5th Mus- keteers. On my way home I stopped in Cleveland, Ohio. I saw a huge factory and my guide said that I should visit it. Once inside I almost jumped out of my shoes. There seated at a desk in a little oilice was a man screaming, Pickles, we've got to produce more pickles, I'm losing money. When I dared to take a closer look I realized it was Haz- elton Sargent. Do you know that he has become the sole owner of the largest pickle factory ln the world? The weather was so fine while I was in Cleve- land that I decided to take a walk. I finally came to a small park surrounded by houses on all sides. As I sat on a bench to catch my breath for a min- ute I saw a young man running from house to house. It looked as though he was selling some- thing. Finally as he came close enough I recog- nized our old classmate, Mark Dehsle, and as he rapped on a door I could hear him say: Buy a hatpin, madamf' Yes, Mark has become a hat- pin salesman and is doing very well. The last place I visited before going home was Buffalo, and you'll never guess whom I saw in n large ofllce building on Niagara Boulevard. No one else but Mr. Titus, who is now a certiiied public accountant. He was trying to explain to our class- mate, Ronald Page. how he could fllc bankruptcy on his goat farm and still end up with a million dollar debit. Ronald looked so confused, you know he never could get bookkeeping. But he said that with Mr. Titus figuring up the debits and credits of his business he wasn't going to worry because after the Internal Revenue Agent got through checking the books, Mr. Titus and he would have nothing to worry about, because neither would be in business very long. Well, I'm afraid that's all the news'I know at this time. Write real soon and good luck on your next trip to the moon. Your Classmate, It was from Wendell George and he told me that . he and Melvin had joined up in the French For- eign Legion and are stationed in Algeria and are Lucille Gendron g xi Stix rank Page Twenty-one
