Let us reminisce a little about our high school years before we render our school days closed forever. 1944-45 Our first remembrance is the consolidating of Montour and Odessa pupils into one happy group, eager to gain good favor of our teachers and schoolmates. We chose the following class officers: President.......— Bill Goold Vice-President----Keith Chapman Secretary-------------Carol Wood Treasurer-------------Ted Covert In the winter the class went roller skating at the Grotto Roller Rink. The year passed quickly and suddenly we found ourselves promoted to the Sophomore Class. 1945- 46 This year was begun with a new zest for study. We found ourselves one step nearer to our final goal, graduation in ’48. Two new pupils joined our group. They were Juanita McMillen, who came from Newfield and Phyllis Townsend from Southside High. Our officers were: President----------------Bill Cate Vice-President-----------Bob Hall Secretary---------------Ted Covert Treasurer------------Keith Chapman 1946- 47 This year was begun with a high pitch of expectancy. We got our class rings in January. Several new pupils became our classmates. They were Wilson Archer from Binghamton North High, June Bently from Watkins, Charles Woodworth who came back from the army after serving twenty-six months, and Florence Twedt from Brooklyn. Our chief highlights were our Junior Play, “Crazy House,” under the direction of our class advisor,' Mr. Dolan. In June, we entertained the seniors at Stewart Park, on the annual Senior-Junior picnic. Our Junior Prom was also a huge success. It was made with the circus as a theme, and was cleverly decorated by the class artists. Our class officers were: President----------------Bob Hall Vice-President--------Beth Hampton Secretary---------------Carol Wood Treasurer---------------Bill Goold Helen Garrett attended Girls State in July. The following boys attended Boys State: Roy Williams, Bill Gate, Boothe Blakeman, Bob Hall, and Bill Goold. As our year came to a close we were blissfully dreaming of being seniors with the coming term. 1947- 48 Our final year within the walls of O.C.S.! It seemsquite impossible but it is so. There is a great deal erf study and work between now and the coming June, when we shall leave. Our class officers are: President----------------Bob Hall Vice-President---------Bill Hanlon Secretary- -----------Larry Miller Treasurer----------Juanita McMillen Several new pupils joined us. They are John Lally from Katonah High, and Ernie Randall who served in the Navy nine months and twenty-four days. Our class play, “You Can’t Always Sometimes Tell” was a great success. We are looking forward to our Senior Ball in the spring and also to our class trip, when we hope to go to New York City. We started on our money-raising program with a magazine campaign in which the class was divided into two teams. The results were amazing for we made a large profit and topped the last senior class’s campaign by over five hundred dollars. 22 A was one of those perfect summer days that dawned June 20, 1958, in the prosperous city of Odessa. But what made this day different from all others was that it was the day of the reunion of the class of 1948. The place was “Vernies,” which has now grown to be one of the largest dance and ice cream salons in the state. Arriving at the scheduled time, we seated ourselves in a booth and found no one had arrived yet. But this didn’t worry us as our class never was very well-known for its promptness and efficiency. But waitl Who are these two husky guys approaching us? Why, it’s George Allen and Jim Doolittle, the greatest football half-backs since “Doc” Blanchard and Glenn Davis. They are now known as the second “Touchdown Twins.” Right behind them comes Helen Garrett, who informs us that she has achieved fame as the first woman cheerleader for Yale. Greetings followed. George and Jim told us that our old school friend “Butch” Burris had bought up “Four Corners” in Montour and established Atlantic Gas Stations in each corner and one in the middle. (Just so you wouldn’t miss them!) Working with him as chief mechanic and grease monkey is Fred Miller. The telephone rang at this moment and picking up the receiver we found a telegraph message telling us that La Verne Bradley is a barker in the carnival now meeting an engagement in Po-dunk. Betty Eaton is earning thousands being the Lady Amazon in the same carnival. As we replaced the receiver, we tried to recognize the young ladies approaching us. Why, we do believe it’s Lillian Crout and Shirley Mickel! Striking up a conversation, we learn that Lillian is a truant officer at O.C.S. Shirley is a missionary to Africa. Shirley tells us some of Bill Ingersoll’s experiences as a big game hunter in Africa. (Bill always was good at shooting the Bull!) While waiting for the rest of the class to come, we turned on the radio. We were just in time to hear Harriet Jenkins on “Life Can Be Gruesome.” Harriet is also the star of “Mother’s Other Son.” Following this program, John Lally comes on for thirty seconds of silence. Next we listened to the news broadcast. Why, if it isn’t our old friend Fay Rolls, who’s replaced Walter Winchell as a news analyst and commentator! Listening closely, we heard the startling news that our chum Larry Miller had gone bankrupt selling magazines. (We always knew Larry would go too far with that business!) Wait! Here’s another flash! David Smith has cleaned up a fortune on his television sets which have been established throughout the nation. “Television sets by Smith Are the best that there ith!” Just as we were about to turn the dial, a drawling, soothing, well-modulated voice came over the air. “Hello kiddies! This is your old Uncle Bill, with another story to delight you all. Listen closely to tonight’s ‘Two Little Morons in the Land of Moo.’ ” Why, it’s our friend Bill Durfey, telling us children’s stories on the radio! As we turned away from the radio, two executive appearing women came in. As they drew nearer, we recognize Loretta Cole and Beth Hampton. In a few minutes we learn that Loretta now owns a chain of diners throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Beth now has the brain twisting job of selling light fixtures in the five and ten. (We always knew Beth would get into some highly complicated work!) Beth tells us that Ruth Wiggins will be a little late. Ruth now runs a nursery home for children and she can’t leave until the last feedings are completed. Next, an attractive, well-turned-out couple comes in. It’s our old school chums, Boothe -Blakeman and Flossy Twedt. Both have attained successful careers as models for current magazines. Flossy and Boothe are from the Harry Turnover model agency. 24 (Continued on next page) PROPHECY Suddenly above us comes the roar of a radar plane. Looking up, we see the presidential plane, “The Blessed Pig,” bringing Juanita McMillen, the first woman president of the United States. (We always had a feeling that Nita’s executive ability would take her to high places.) As she steps off the plane, we see she has brought her private secretary, Wilson Archer, with her. Wilson tells us he has just had a letter from Charlie Woodworth. Charlie, too, is unable to attend the reunion for his occupation as chief chef of the land had him in Arabia, creating his own personal concoction for the king and queen. As we were talking, a man rushes up to us and starts a brisk one-sided conversation in an effort to sell us “Clarence’s Automatic Pipe Cleaners.” During a lull, we recognize our former school mate Bill Goold, who from all appearances has become a fast talking super salesman. (Bill always did have a good linel) While talking to Bill, the rest of the class had arrived. Wandering around, we meet a vivacious little gal in western attire. On closer inspection, we see that it’s Pat Callahan. Pat tells us she is now billed as “Hopalong Callahan,” the star of “Mulberry Trail,” the western movie serial. At this moment, an attractive young man in a checked “zoot suit” approaches. It’s Keith Chapman! Keith now owns and conducts his own jive band, replacing Frankie Carle. And over here in this corner we see what appears to be a literary review. Harriet Coon, the famous woman lawyer is discussing her latest book, “Harriet Faces Life,” with Shirley Hartford, author of the currently popular novel, “Forever Yellow,” which is sweeping the country by storm. Standing closely behind Harriet, we noticed a forlorn looking couple whom we recognized at closer inspection to be Naomi Harrington and Bob Barrett. Naomi is now known as “Slinky Sal,” the notorious gun moll. She and Bob have been specially paroled from Ding Ding State Penitentiary to attend the reunion. Bob is known as “Slinky Sam, the Key Hole Man.” This title explains the situation without further explanation. Sipping pink lemonade in yet another booth, we see our old chums Bill Hanlon and “Skip” Hayes. We soon learn Bill is chief glass blower at Corning Glass Works. “Skip” has turned out to be quite a city slicker since he left his farm to become second vice-president to the third vice-president of the International Harvester Company. This company was bought out six years ago by Albert Hughson, who owns and runs it. Over in still another booth, we noticed a studious young man with several test tubes protruding from his pockets. He turns around and we recognize Ted Covert, a blossoming young chemist for General Electric. With Ted is Bill Cate. Poor Bill tripped on his graduation gown and hasn’t been the same since! Just as we were about to move on, we noticed an unobtrusive gentleman sitting with Bill and Ted. As we struggled for recognition, a hearty “Hi ya all!” boomed out and we immediately recognize Bob Hall. Bob has developed into quite a “southern-fried-chicken” colonel, who trains horses for the Kentucky Derby and similar sweepstakes. Just then, in came June Bently. June is now president of Philharmonic University in Nevada. While she was relating several anecdotes about good old P. U., we saw a meek looking gentleman in a black overcoat, with galoshes and umbrella clutched in his hands, shuffle stealthfully towards us. Why, it’s Bob Jackson, whom we soon learn is married to a professional wrestler, which no doubt accounts for the great change that has come over him. Coming down the aisle, we next notice a dashing naval officer, Admiral Carl Myers, has just returned from a trip to China. With him is an attractive young lady who turns out to be that great star of stage, screen, and radio, Irene Jenkins. Irene tells us she completed work on the screen version of “For Whom the Doorbell Rings,” just in time for the reunion. 25 (Continued on next page) PROPHECY Just then, we heard a tremendous rumble from the street and the building began to shake. Peering outside cautiously, we saw that it was only Ernie Randall, clearing his throat. Ernie has now gained fame as the champion hog caller of Tennessee. (Ernie always did have a rather carrying voice!) While still outside with Ernie, we noticed a strange spectacle approaching “Vernies.” It was Donny Riley, just completing the last lap of his trip in being the first man to go completely around the world on jet propelled roller skates. Sitting on his shoulders is Roy Williams. Roy couldn’t afford car fare for he is generously giving all his money buying seats for the standing army. Going back in, we find the last four members have arrived. Headed by our friend Johnny Sni-zek, they approach us. Johnny is now president of the Baby Sitter’s Union. With him are his two secretaries—Mart Swartout, Secretary in Charge of Wet Diapers; and Phyllis Townsend, Secretary in Charge of Burpers. Everone present and accounted for, we all sat down to have sodas with our old class advisor, Eddie Dolan. Bud Goold is the chief soda jerker in “Vernies,” famed for his “Goold’s Tootsie Fruitsie Fantasy.” Beth Hampton Naomi Harrington Shirley Mickel CLASS POEM In the village of Odessa, Stands our school, so dear. On each bright school morning We gladly gathered here. We learned the lessons taught us And found fond friends galore. Too soon we shall be leaving These friends forever more. But it won’t be forever For often we shall yearn To dwell again with memories And then we will return.
