SENIOR HOROSCOPE Notes and predictions from an astrologer. I an astrologer, in the year 1951 A. D., am writing the fortunes of the class of 1951. I gazed through a telescope at the zodiac for two hours each night for a week. After gather- ing my notes together and using another week, I came up with the following results. A horoscope is a diagram of the heavens with special reference to the position of the stars and planets at any instant, from which we astrologers proffer to foretell the future. The horoscope is a sectional view of the zodiac. The zodiac is an imaginary belt encircling the heavens and extending about eight de- grees on each side of the sun's path. This path contains the moon and the larger planets. The zodiac is divided into twelve parts called the signs of the zodiac, which formerly corres- ponded to twelve constellations bearing the same names as the signs. According to astrology, the twelve signs of the zodiac control twelve different organs of man and his destiny. For example, if a person is born under a certain sign, whatever or- gan this sign controls, the person will be allergic to disease of this organ. Even though modern science has proclaimed that the planets and stars of the universe have no effect whatsoever on our individual destinies. However, I have attempted to set down here what each of the senior's fortunes will be according to the signs of the zodiac. The two seniors born under the sign Capricornus (goat) are Jeanne Bump and Betty McCauslin. They are allergic to disease of the knees. Saturn is their ruling planet and Saturday is their lucky day. Their birthstone is the garnet and their flower is the carnation. Capricornus people should marry those born under the sign of Cancer (crab). Capricornus people are fine entertainers and excel in story tell- ing. When jolly, they are very jolly, but when miserable, they are very miserable. They are best adapted for pursuits in any vocation wherein steady application and industry are required. They are natural planners and know how to make both ends meet but must guard against the tendency to magnify their troubles. Mark Regan, Jr. and Monroe Putnam are the two seniors born under the sign Pisces (fish). They are allergic to diseases of the feet. Their ruling planet is Jupiter and Wednesday is their lucky day. Their birthstone is the amethyst (this stone is considered a talisman against drinking). Their flower is the violet. People born under this sign should marry those born under Virgo (virgin). Pisces people worry and fret and often look for trouble that nev- er comes. These people are usually long-lived and after struggling through life, die much wealthier than they expected to. They are the best workers, never seem to tire and are always ready to go. They are naturally very honest, fond of responsibility, and can be relied upon to fill places of trust. They should guard agqinst a tendency to worry. The four seniors bora under the sign Aries are Joyce Bump, Paul Snickles, Kichard icknell, and Lowell Durant. They are allergic to diseases of the head. Mars is their ruling planet and Tuesday their lucky day. Their birthstone is the diamond and their flower is the swe- et pea. Aries people should marry those born under the sign Libra (balance) Aries people are at their best when at the head of things such as a director, instructor, superintendent or manager. Their brain is always busy. They need but little medicine; quiet, rest and sleep are all they need when sick or exhausted. ihey are quick to resent abuse or imposi- tion, but forgiving and do not hold a grudge long. Many fine descrip- tive writers, novelists, and poets are found in this sign. They love beauty, order, harmony, and elegant surroundings. The two seniors born under the sign Taurus (bull) are John Remin- gton and Donald Strader. Thqy are allergic to disease of the neck and throat. Venus is their ruling planet and Saturday their lucky day. Their birthstone is the emerald and their flower is the lily of the valley. Taurus people should marry persons born under Scorpio (Scorpian). Taurus people are generally more fortunate in money matters than in love affairs. A city life is generally most suitable to Taurus peo- ple. Gardening is a good work for them. They find it brings health, happiness and prosperity for, it suits their temperament. They have keen minds, are wide awake, and grasp new ideas quickly. They can mem- orize with the greatest ease and should guard against a tendency to get angry quickly.

In the twenty years that have crept up on me since I graduated from Parishville-Hopkin- ton Central High School, I have kept all information concerning the class of 1951 that grad- uated with me. One of the most treasured pieces of information is from a newspaper clipping about the class reunion in New York City at the Hotel Astor on June 26, 1961. The reunion was held in the form of a last class meeting. The acting president was Gilbert Daby. Gilbert went to law school and he is now a pro- minent lawyer in Newark, New Jersey. It is rumored that he will be running for senator in the next senatorial election. The secretary, who took the minutes, was Arlene Barton from Texas. After high school Arlene emigrated to Texas and bought the Bar-A Ranch. She holds rodeos once a week. She has a livery stable with horses for riding. She also gives riding lessons to anyone interested. The assistant secretary, who helped Arlene, was Jeanne Bump. Jeanne made a trip across the ocean to attend the reunion. Jeanne at first devoted her attention to the manufacture of cosmetics. Later she took up the French language and she now operates her own beauty parlor in Paris. The treasurer was Myra Flanagan. Myra served four terms in the White House as a cook after becoming acquainted with all secrets she will run for President of the United States. The newspaper reporter was Lowell Durant. Lowell has circumnavigated the globe three times. On his last trip he met Miss Annabelle Ray. After a short but happy courtship they married and made the fourth trip together. Joyce Bump came across New York City to attend the reunion. Joyce had such great suc- cess as an actress in the senior play of 1951, she decided to make acting her career. She is now one of the leading actresses on Broadway. Jane Christy also from New York City attended. Jane's voice really got her places. She is now a famous contralto at the Metropolitan Opera House. Elizabeth Leach drove from New Rochelle. Elizabeth held several jobs and finally decided to become her own boss. She now operates her own taxi-cab service. Betty McCauslin, who at the time was in Gouverneur, got a few days vacation and attended the reunion. Betty is working for the O.C. Buck Shows. Betty is the fat lady of the show. Neva Monica came from Nicholville where she is operating her own fashion shop. It is understood that Neva is doing a very profitable business. Jessie Simonds arrived with Neva from her home on the Hopkinton Road. Jessie puts out her own weekly newspaper called The Hopkinton Gazette. Dick Bicknell had a four-day leave so he was able to attend. Dick joined the navy soon after graduation. Dick likes the Navy very much and intends to make it his life profession. Monroe Putnam of Buffalo traveled by train to New York City. Monroe went to college and is now a famous medical doctor in Buffalo. He has a large following and the report is that everyone is very satisfied with his work. John Remington came from Pennsylvania. His main office of the Remington Thinking Ma- chine is located at Pittsburgh. John invented the thinking machine himself. It is the only one in the United States. Mark Regan came from Gary, Indiana where he has his own business school. There are sev- eral different courses offered in his college. The tuition is very reasonable. Donald Strader flew from Wyoming where he is a veterinarian. He attended veterinary school after he graduated from P. H. C. S.. He moved west because he thought he would have more business. Paul Snickles came from Fort Jackson where he is manager of the Fort Jackson Blue Sox. They are in second place in the national league, so Paul must be doing a good job managing them.

Football season was greatly delayed The polio scare had most people dismayed. The Daffy Dills the play came next In which a stepmother couldn’t be hexed. The F. H. A. did put on a dance To make some money. They took a chance. The Hallwe'en party was quite a chore With costumes, games and fun galore. Book Week came early in November With some costumes we’ll always remember. That same month the furnace did break So we had time off—not too hard to take. The cafeteria had special dinners twice, Thanksgiving and Christmas—both were nice. Christmas vacation came and went Then our efforts on Regents had to be spent. February this year was very short Because school had to be closed a lot. But Valentine’s Day we did observe Even though some thought it a bit absurd. Basketball was not too successful we fear We did not get in to the play-offs this year. To Winthrop we journeyed on St. Patrick’s Day We took second place on that day for play. A trampoline the Board did buy It’s fun, though at first students did shy. There is still the prom and baseball season And more Regents to test our reason For there is a quarter year left no less But Panorama has to go to press. 15
