Senior Class Prophecy J. Eleanor Nenoff, a very successful writer and editor of North Country Lifef' upon under- taking to write a feature story of a graduating class, searched far and wide to find a school worthy of such esteem. Finally, she decided upon her own alma mater, Norwood-Norfolk Central School, and her own class of graduates, those of 1950. Through much patience and careful study, she unearthed the following information. Donald Halvorsen has obtained fame as a motion picture and stage actor. Mr. Halvorsen gained his start in show business as the hero of his early hit, He Couldn't Marry Five. Don has, in the past five years, won four Oscars and three other Academy Awards, and has been, for the past seven successive years, voted the most handsome and the most talented actor. Beautiful Margaret Kocsis, M.D., is now the head doctor at the Mayo Clinic. Margaret so en- joyed her nurse's training that she remained in the study of medicine for ten years until she ob- tained her doctor's degree. She has now received this high honor for her marvelous work in the research and discovery of the common cold. Milton Gooshaw, our famed photographer, is now the most important employee in the photo- graphers' division of the United Nations and has enjoyed immensely his many trips abroad. Rita Davey is a famous professor at Cornell University and, as a hobby, manages the nationwide Lonely Hearts Club, Incorporated, and gives wise advice to the lovelorn. Carolyn Tooley has enabled the Metropolitan Opera Company to have the first profitable year in the last 50 years, through the drawing attraction of her beautiful voice. It is rumored that Caro- lyn will succeed Lily Pons when Miss Pons retires from singing next year. As a result of her great education in the field of business, Joan Butler is now employed as pri- vate secretary to the President of the United States. World-famed models Gloria Myers and Laura Zappia have now retired from the modeling world and have set up a dress designing business in their home town. William Kovach is now the head of the Prohibition Party and is seeking to win the Presidential election this year. William is thought to be a likely winner in this election although he is competing against a worthy opponent, Thomas E. Dewey, Jr. Ida Ashley, one of the outstandingly studious pupils of our class, is now trying to spread the virtues of study to the willing pupils of the Norfolk Business College. Keitha Carr, who has been an army nurse for the past four years, is now stationed in Hawaii. Sally Hill, a noted scientist, is now working on new uses for atomic energy for peacetime pur- poses, Eva Mae Steinburg now is the proprietor of a Fifth Avenue Beauty Salon. Eva Mae is said to be sponsored by all the famous names in New York Society together with famous theatrical person- alities. Dorothy Debien is now the Chairman of the Red Cross of America. Dorothy is the founder of many homes for the needy. Barbara Packard is now singing with the Robert Shaw Chorale. Barbara plans to make per- sonal appearances 'throughout the North Country during the following year. Peter Molnar, Senator from New York, has been the object of much debate during the past years in his efforts to put through a bill titled Molnar's Aid to Farmers. Frank Arquitte is also among the New York Society. Frank is now the owner of the Stork Club. Frank is said to be the second wealthiest man in the United States. So ends the Prophecy of the class of 1950 Postscript: Miss Nenoff'S human interest story Won the Nobel Prize for fine literature. Joan Butler and Carolyn Tooley
