Pao ,ATHER 'round everybody and let's gaze into our crystal ball to see what the exceptional class of '48 is doing after ten years of hard lmocks. TIME: 1958 Ted Bingaman, who is now Python the famous wrestler, has established a record of squeezing five people to death. Beware girls! Beverly Brokaw, that successful young writer, has just finished her fourth book. However, the men ln her life haven't been very successful. It seems that Bev has a mind of her own. Alice Beach and Elva Jacoby are designers. Their creations are considered very ultra-ultra from Podunk to Paris. Alice specializes in beachwear while Elva specializes in slacks. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Harding fthe former Agnes MacCheyneJ are operating a hamburger stand near Lodi. Dick collects the money while his wife does all the work. That girl about town, Helen Lochren, is still playing the field. I wonder if whe will ever settle down. She papered her room with snapshots of dear, departed male escorts. Arthur Lynch runs a service station in Hayts Corners with all the latest equipment. He special- lzes in fixing tires for stranded women. Leroy Swick has moved bag, baggage and Ruth Ann to Trumansburg where they have a sweet shoppe. They even have a cover charge because the place is so high class. Ted Smith owns a chain of pencil factories across the country. He developed the flavored pencil which sells even better than lollypops. Of course, june always believed that a woman's place was in Ted's home, so that's where she ls. Marjorie Miller has a dancing studio in Canandaigua. It's very successful-- if you consider one customer a week successful. Norma Swlck and Howard Lincoln have settled down to a peaceful married life. However, the pat- ter f?J of tiny feet sometimes shatters the peacefulness. Seward Brooks has just completed a cross-country tour with his band, Dutch's Iazzsters. As their featured singer, they have Mamie Gahn. She is, in reality, a capable little homemaker for a certain, blond, curly-headed fellow. Need I say more? May Nicholson is leading a happy married life. She has become well-lmown around the vicinity for her luscious buckwheat cakes. Dr. Heyman is president of Harvard, Ever since her college days at Sampson, she has loved belng surrounded by men and decided to spend her life in such a manner. Could anyone do any better? And now we come to that leader of men and follower of women, John Maleskl. He was elected Gover- nor of New York State in the last election. We wonder who his wife isl Now don't commit us as we dldn't say Sabol. Draw your own conclusion. Jack Quinn is Chief of Police at Willard. He enforces the law there, but his wife enforces lt at home. Ah, wedded bllssl Ann Simpson liked the college at Binghamton so well that she decided to stay. Rumor has it that Alan lived there, too. Could that have anything to do with it? Paul Munson is the owner of the Lingring Bros. Circus. Seems that he started out being the thin man but :cats such a success that he was soon able to buy the circus. That proves the theory of starting from the om. Teresa Kaiser has given up her job of breaking men's hearts in Ovid, and ls a switchboard operator in Willard. Of course, she does plug in a few wrong numbers. I wonder why she chose Willard. jay Fritts is president of the Miser Bank Company. The bank has a very good reputation because jay is very conscientious and counts the money everyday. Gerald Brewer is recuperating from a broken clavlcle. Apparently, he didn't have his mind on his driving. Was Marie with him? Wlnnie's husband, johnny, has quite a time supporting her. With her reckless driving, he has to buy at least one fender a week. Poor Iohnnyl Dorothy Miller is now in Rochester where she is a stenographer for the Trickenziemer Tack Co. When she runs out of work, she acts as a tester for the product the company puts out. Get the point? Good old Casanova Stevens still makes plenty of trips to Crow Hill but doesn't have courage enough to pop the question. He was always so bashful, you know! Even though joan Murphy attended Cornell University her interest in Sampson didn't end. A cer- tain fellow named Al might have had something to do with it. Ruth Herrala has just returned from her third trip aroxmd the world. She made her fortune by discovering a way to mend broken hearts. just having Ruth around would do that, wou1dn't it? Bill Schramm, still unable to decide on who should be Mrs. Schramm, has taken a job ln South America. But if we know Bill, that's just his way of keeping us from knowing that he wants to look the Senoritas over. Audrey Cassidy is now head coach at Ovid. It seems that she took over Coach Kay's job. She loves her work and has such a way with the boys. You know Audrey! 'Ruth VanVleet has become the junior partner of the Wagner Peach Cannery near Caywood. It all began with thinning peaches, tool Dorothea Herbert is now head of the Strait jacket Department in Binghamton State Hospital. Her motto ls We don't put them on unless they fit. ' Looking back over the successful f?J class of '48, we are well satisfied. As we pass back through the door into the present, we give Mrs. Depew the password, Be Specific! 18

66444 W' E, the Seniors of 1948 as we close our last and perhaps, best year of faithful attendance at the Ovid High School, feel that it would be very unkind of us not be bequeath some of our wonderful char acterlstics to those who will try so much in the years following to be like that memorable class of 1948. We know our leaving is one of the saddest events that has ever taken place at this school, and while we also are sorry to end those happy school days, we feel that we must go on to that which ls ln store for each of us. We leave the following to those who must carry on ln our place next year: Jay Fritts leaves his startling history ability to Paul 0'Connell. Norma Swick leaves her seat in the library to Jane Harris. Howard Lincoln leaves the office of President in the F. F.A. to Norman Skinner. Ruth VanVleet leaves her sheep-herding to Torrey Frltts. Edwin Smith leaves his studlous brain to Jimmy Mannix. Ruth Herrala leaves her magnificent flgure to June Boyce. Ted Bingaman leaves his supply of corny jokes to Bill Keill. Muriel Gahn leaves all her love to Jerry Reed. Johnny Maleski leaves his new Frazer to Lynn Cashady and Douglas Wyckoff to help them get started with the girls. Dorothea Herbert leaves her way with men to Joann Hay. Gerald Brewer leaves his interest ln mechanics to Floyd Covert. Audrey Cassidy leaves her way with Jimmy Mannix to Elaine Vreeland. Irving Stevens leaves his ability to get along with teachers to Jimmie Baldwin. CDoes he need lt?J Olga Sabol leaves her screaming to Marilyn Lynch. Richard Harding leaves his liking for the girls to Jack Maher. Wlnifred Jennings leaves her reckless driving to Joanne VanNostrand and we hope she will keep both hands on the wheel. Teresa Kaiser gives several empty bottles of Freckle Remover to Mary Jean Dlmmlck with the sad conclusion that none of them did any good. William Schramm leaves his shy Q71 come hither ability to Melvin Quinn. Elva Jacoby leaves her temper to Ruth Voorhees. Paul Munson leaves his Ford to Walter Springsteen because the Chevrolet looks a bit run down. Joan Murphy leaves her Sampson College boy-friends to Joyce Whitney and Shirley Lynch. Jack Quinn leaves his dancing to Bill Webster and Donald Griffin. June Russell leaves her scholarship to Betty McDonald. Seward Brooks leaves his gas truck to Gordon Boyce. Beverly Brokaw leaves her rhumba dancing to Phyllis Jordan. Arthur Lynch and Leroy Swick leave their shyness to Henry Covert. Marjorie Miller leaves her fiery red hair to Joann Jackson. May Nicholson leaves her engagement ring to Rosalie Holmes. Helen Lochren leaves a rat trap to. Diana Caulum to aid her in catching Bill. Eva Heymann leaves her bangs to Joanne McFadden. Alice Beach leaves her giggles to Lucille Poth. Ann Simpson leaves her studying to Evelyn Mlkkelsen. Dorothy Miller leaves her mathematical ability to Roberta Homyack. The Senior girls leave all the Junior boys to Marie 'Buggles and Marianne Hanson. We can't leave Bob Ferguson anything, he has his goats. The Senior Class as a whole leaves the following: Any over-looked cuds of gum we have left adhering to the underside of desks or bannlsters to the Juniors. Our good looks and beautiful complexlons to the Sophomores who are trying so hard to be seen and heard in the world. To Mrs. Depew we leave a bottle of Kolor Back to erase any gray hairs we may have caused. Leroy Swick 20
