4 Edward Strope, recently elected Mayor of the great city of Bumpville, comes next. He ' s waving, shaking hands, and asking everyone to vote for him in the next election. Russell Coleman follows Ed. Russell, an excellent stone mason, has been contracted to build Mayor Strope ' s new City Hall. Here’s Arlene Clark; she ' s an elementary teacher now and loves her work, we ' re sure. With her is Micky Paiew- ski. Mike, as she is better known, is having a ball teaching biology. She ' s a protege of our dear sponsor and Bug teacher, Mr. Davis. There ' s John Ross, he looks preoccupied, probably trying to re¬ member what our chemistry teacher and second sponsor, Mr. Secor, said about problems of mass rela¬ tions! No, I guess it’s not that, for following him is Claudia Arnold, a former May Queen. Claudia is now a dental technician. She was bitten by the Tooth Bug in her Junior year. Here comes Larry Taylor, he’s state fish warden; we always knew he was up to something fishy !! ! Charles Allen follows him, he ' s a teacher now. Gertrude Brink, who follows them and is the last one off the train, is manager of her own department at Sylvania. That’s everyone, or is it? . . . yes! it’s Bill Parks, and looking sort of banged up too. What hap¬ pened? we asked anxiously. Well, it ' s like this, Bill replies; I got run over by a mob of my former classmates. After assuring us that he is all right, he hurries after the others. Bill never could manage to stay in one piece!! The train is gone; but wait, where are the rest of our classmates? We take pleasure in presenting the people who helped make this reunion possible. First George Rogers, our class president, and now presi¬ dent of the National Education Association. Next Jean Manchester, a noted equestrian and nurse, who is general chairman of the party. With her, is Eileen Williams; Eileen is married now but came out of retirement to act as our secretary. Joan Robinson was a very important help. She’s head telephone oper¬ ator at Bell Telephone Company and has made many important and necessary calls for us. For our Barbecue and party this evening, Levi Frisbie, who helped construct the famous bridge across the English Channel, consented to build our table and pavilion. Our food came from none other than Vern Tucci ' s farm. Douglas Folk, who owns a large trucking firm, brought it over. And last but not least, is Duane Carrington, a fine mechanic who donated his valuable time just to make sure everything is kept in apple pie running order. That ' s everyone from A to Z, we hope you’ll join us tonight for the big Barbecue. We’ll talk a lot, cry a little, and remember thi ngs we did together back in 1963. The evening indicates an enjoyable time for one and all.

CLASS PROPHECY Written by Jean Manchester and Ronnie Jones This is the year 1983. The place is The ’63, largest commercial hereford ranch in the world. The owner, Ronnie Jones has invited his class, which graduated from Northeast Bradford High School in 1963, for its first reunion. The first to arrive is Larry Jones in his newly-designed automobile with the motor in the middle. With him is John Hennip who says Larry ' s car rides much smoother than the rocket which he piloted around Venus recently. Here comes Donna Harrington, famous dress designer from Bonnaz of New York. She is wearing her latest creation which she calls The Sling. With her is Martha Cook who has just dis¬ covered a miracle drug called Knowledge for slow learners. Circling Mr. Jones ' private airport is a DC-7. The pilot, we learn, is none other than Blair Babcock, test pilot for the U. S. Air Force. First to descend is Sharyl Chaffee, the stewardess helping John Young, who was injured recently in an automobile accident at the Indianapolis Speedway. We understand he is making a fast recovery due to the care given him by his competent nurses Martha Burgess and Joyce Bowen. Darius Bolton, half-owner of the Anderson-Bolton Farm is next to get off. Following him are Carolyn Horton and Dr. Paul Milnes. Carolyn Horton is private secretary to Dr. Milnes, who has just won his second Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Next off the plane is Dawn Darling, Olympic Roller Skating Cham¬ pion. With her is her manager, Halbert Brink, better known as Roller Brink! All we can see of the next passenger is a wide smile. Why, it ' s Grace Rowe - housewife, mother, and star of a new television show, The Happy Housewife. She is talking to another classmate, Connie Cragle, now married and teacher in a nursery school. We wonder if she has heard of the new device, invented by Larry Morgan, for keeping young children out from under foot. We’re sure she would find it very helpful. Here comes Mr. Morgan now! He’s the first millionaire in our class. Following them are two officers of the Na¬ tional Beautician Association. Bernita McKernan, president, who has earned a reputation for following the height of fashion in creating hair styles, comes first - closely followed by Linda Kipp, vice-presi¬ dent. Linda, as we all know, is private hair-stylist for another classmate, Victoria Kendrick, a famous Shakespearean actress. Here comes Miss Kendrick now! We can ' t see whom she’s talking to, oh, wait there he is! It’s America ' s heartthrob, William Ryan, who is playing opposite her in her next production. Jack Carr steps out the door next. Jack, always a sports enthusiast, has recently been named Athletic Director at Penn State University. With him is another classmate, Brian Coleman. Brian is the star player for the Boston Celtics. In his last game he made 243 points to break his own record. Ronald Rice, who pitched for the Mets first World Series and won, is next off. Following him are the co-pilot, Ralph Towner, who is also a champion motorcyclist, and flight engineer Roy Edwards, who does the mechanical work on the plane. That ' s everyone from the plane. We’re expecting the local Sub-Train any minute. The Sub-Train is a new underground railroad invented by Gary Newman and is now used extensively all over the States. Gary always was interested in heavy machinery. Here she comes! We ' ve heard that the rest of our classmates have chartered this train. First we see Carol Sink coming up the steps; behind her is her employer Dr. Steve Leutbecher. He says Carol is the best medical secretary he ever had. Knowing Carol, we can easily believe this. Dr. Leutbecher is one of the more promising re¬ searchers of our day. Coming with them is Elaine Howland, renowned nurse, who has been working closely with Dr. Leutbecher and Miss Sink. She is also a former Mayo Clinic nurse. Next off, (and we presume they are talking about their newest idea for economy farming) are the owners of the Four Star farm. This farm comprises some of the largest dairy, sheep, beef, and truck farms in the world. Carl Russell, dairy tycoon and chairman of the board, is the first off; following him are Ray Schrader, owner of one of the largest sheep ranches west of the Alleghenies; Larry Brown, who is manager of Carl s farm; Ronald Davis, a prize Guernsey raiser; and Bill Smith, a large and wealthy truck farmer. Who, we ask them, ever gave you the idea to join your farms under one name? Why, Dennis Taylor, a very famous Agriculture Engineer, did it, they say. There he is now! Duane Soper, successful farm ma¬ chinery salesman, is following closely behind them. We think he is trying to mix business with pleasure. Lorna Lawrence, former Harvest Bowl Queen of 1966 is next. Lorna is now happily married and, we are sure, Queen of her Castle. ” Albin (Benny) Wanzo, whose sole ambition is to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa, follows her. His psychiatrist, Dr. Theodore Hayes, hurries off behind him. Ted, a well- known head doctor has had some very interesting cases. He got his start when he played Willie ' in our Senior Play; he just couldn ' t seem to figure out why so many characters” caught Heartsickness ! ! ! 25
