GLASS PRUPHECY Dick LaDue, the prosperous young business man who has made it a point to change business into pleasure, has invited the Class of '54 to his Tricky Turn-In Chateau for the annual dance and banquet which is held each year by one of the members of the 1954 graduating class. His wife, the former Peggy Roose, is tuning up the piano for the evening's music. Delicious odors are issuing from the kitchen where Martha Gifford is preparing the banquet. Her great talent which she discovered while working in Roose's is being put to good use as the chef at the chateau. We are sorry to report that one of our class members will be unable to attend. Yesterday, a telegram was received from Darrell Weichenthal, the present president of the UN General Assem- bly. Because of an international conference, he will not be able to leave Russia for the banquet. The guests are expected to arrive any moment. Yes, here comes a car now, or is it a plane flying low? No, it's Bruce DePew and jim Gage in Bruce's 550 horse-power Super V-12 Ford. Bruce is the All-American Cattle Raiser of the United States and jim is a famous jockey at the Sana Anita Race Track. just last week he won national honors as the jockey of the Year. Pulling up to the curb is jim Norsen and Dick Stell, managers of the Truck Farmers Founda- tion, and there's Ron Terwilliger who has a farm on the east side of Gorham. We hear that these three are doing very well for themselves. More arrivals are coming through the door. They are Bev Bickel, Connie Clark, and Lorraine Youngs. Bev and Connie are secretaries for two of the biggest firms in the State and Lorraine has taken to the sky as an airl-ine hostess for the Gorham Airlines which were established just a few years ago. Once more gazing out the window we see a Dodge truck parking. Why, it's Bob Bergstresser and Shirley Stickler! Bob has one of the largest farms in the Gorham area and Shirley helps him with the fann work. Say who's that in the back of the truck? Flossie Zimmerman of all people. Flossie is the owner of Flossie's Fine Fruits roadside stand. She's doing a blooming busi- ness. Come in and join the party! What was that noise? Oh, no, jean Van Wagner just ran into the curb. lt's doubtful if she will ever learn to drive. There's Kay Henry with her. Kay and jean have just graduated from college. Kay's going to become a teacher and jean wants to get married. A great ambition for both of them and it's very unlikely that they will fail in either case. The guests are all assembled around the table waiting for more arrivals. The door is opening now and in comes Babe Polmanteer, Lyman Wood, and joe Frankovitch. Babe is the famous creator of joe the Hobo comic strip. joe plays the role of pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He won twenty-six games last season. Lyman, another baseball player, is shortstop for the New York Yankees. Lyman was batting champion of the American League for the past season. Coming in behind them is Charlie McWilliams. Charlie has his own dancing studio up in Beverly Hills. Karen jensen called and said she would be late. She married a wealthy farmer after graduating and is very happy. A surprise is in store for the class, as Bob Ellis and his band enter. Bob just finished a tour in Europe where he won international fame being voted as top band of the world. Also entering is Shirley Fillingham who is playing guitar at the Stork Club. Last but not least is Karl Perry who owns a chain of hotels from here to the Texas coast. Now the whole class is present and the feast begins. A toast in honor of thegreatest class ever to graduate from Gorham--The Class of 1954. 20
