f 6 }: No, What? Hattie I Ann : Well, he was so fond of studying, that upon graduating he went to college. He studied to become a veterinarian, and is now well-known as Dr. Peter Malnati, Jr., the man who will cure your kittens. Hattie : Well, we always knew he ' d make a name for himself. Let ' s see now, who else was in our class? Oh, yes, what ever happened to our little typist, Dorothy Orcutt? Elaine: Remember how we all thought Dot would be an old-maid secretary at Wheeler and Taylor ' s? Well, one day a good-looking salesman came in and as he left, Dot was seen breezing out behind him and she hasn ' t been heard of since. Ann: Yes, and her pal Mildred hasn ' t been doing so bad for herself either. She got tired of saying Number please and has anchored the Navy down in a sweet little home in East Canaan. She has also written a book on How to be the Domineering and Force- ful Type in Ten Easy Lessons. Hattie: Well, those commercial gals really knew their business. What ever hap- pened to Evelyn Winters? Elaine: I received a letter from her the other day and she is her husband ' s private secretary. I guess she wouldn ' t trust anyone else with the job. Ann: I don ' t blame her. There is Natalie over there in a sunbonnet. She looks like a farmerette. Hattie : Well, she went to Russell Sage for a year but some unknown force drew her home again. They say she makes a pretty good farmerette on Brush Hill. Elaine: Natalie, a farmerette? What a surprise. Where ' s our little class actress, Margie? Ann: Oh, she attended dramatic school and is about ready to make a picture in Hollywood. She has had parts in several radio programs. She has played Mrs. Noose- baum in Allen ' s Alley, John ' s Other Wife from the program of the same name, and appeared as a guest star on People are Funny. Hattie: Yes, Margie, always did have talent. Remember her in our class play, Mr. Beane from Lima? I think that ' s what really started her on her way. Elaine: By the way, has anyone heard from Arthur Coons since he graduated? Ann: Why yes, didn ' t you know? He is now co-owner of the Coons ' Mow ' em and Rake ' em, Lawn Mowing Service. Hattie: The last male member of our class was Bucky Markham. Uncle Sam called him before graduation. He served his two-year term with the Navy and now he is serving a life term with Joan. Elaine: Cece went into training after graduating, didn ' t she, Ann? What is she doing now? Ann: Cece practiced her profession for a few years, but soon took on a new ambition. She married an electrician and is now raising little Watts and Kilowatts. Hattie : What have you been doing, Ann? We haven ' t heard a thing about you so far. Ann: Well, as you know, I was telephone operator when I graduated and Elaine: Yes, we know. Now you are a home operator and your line is busy with the family wash.

Evelyn Winters — Evelyn — the quietest of all. It must be that Evelyn believes that silence is golden. She agrees with the majority, which is a step in mixing with society. Now we have unveiled our accomplishments and hopes for the future and this is the proof of what has made us such outstanding students of Sheffield High School. Arthur Coons Evelyn Winters ■G )» ' (§ £ ■ Class Prophecy Time : Summer of 1956, ten years after graduation of the class of ' 46. Several members are back to Sheffield to attend the dedication of the new Sheffield High School, a beautiful one-story brick colonial style structure, with gymnasium, swimming pool, and athletic field. Elaine speaks as they stand on the lawn, watching Mr. Hartley cut the ribbon that will open the new building. Elaine: Remember our class president, Erma Funk? What happened to her, Ann? Ann : She always wanted to be a nurse. She is now school nurse and has taken the pulse and temperature of many a sick kid, in the teachers ' room. Speaking of Erma, what happened to her chum, Sophia? Hattie : She went to college and became a physical education director. According to headlines she is still a star of basket ball. Yes, she is still putting them through the ring, and I understand she put her finger through one about a year ago. Elaine: Her sister Helen always liked to travel. What is she doing now? She was last seen passing through South Dakota on the back of her sister Nadia ' s trailer. I guess Helen still hasn ' t found a place to settle down. Hattie: Remember bashful Pete Pshenishny? Do you know what he has been doing? Upon graduation Peter went into the army. He stayed in for a while. I thought he ' d work on the farm when he got out, but he didn ' t. He is now salesman for Goo, Goo and Goo baby foods. Elaine: Imagine that! A baby-food salesman from the class of ' 46. What happened to his sister, Anne? Ann : She went to modeling school in New York. She modelled at Russeks and Saks and is now strutting across the covers of Vogue, Mademoiselle and Montgomery Ward ' s Catalogue. Hattie : Why, look, isn ' t that Betty Geer over there? You know that Betty attended Berkshire Business College but her heart never was in bookkeeping. That certain sailor returned and now she is raising a family garbed in sailors ' dungarees. Elaine: Jean Armstrong always wanted to be a great singer. She was training her voice while in school and kept on with it for a while after graduating. She is now a member of the vocal quartet made up of Cass Daley, Judy Canova, Jerry Colonna and Jean. Ann: Who is that man over there with all those dogs on one leash? Why, I do be- lieve it is Peter Malnati. Did I ever tell you girls what happened to Peter?

Ann: Yes, and what about Hattie? She worked as a clerk for a while and much to our surprise, proved to be such a mathematical genius that she is now taking the place of the adding machine at Gilligan Brothers ' . Hattie: Elaine is just here by chance. She stopped by on her flight to catch up with Helen Shmulsky in her trailer travels. Ann: She says she has been through every state twice and the nearest she ever got to Helen was She went that way. Hattie: Oh look! Mr. Hartley has cut the ribbon. We can go into the new Sheffield High. Look at the new detention bench just inside the door. Isn ' t it nice, and so big!! See the new recreation room over here with the pine panelling and the King sized Coca Cola cooler. There certainly are a lot of improvements. We ' ll expect great things of the graduates of S.H.S. in the future. Elaine: Well, Hattie, I ' ve got to run along after Helen, and Ann has to get back to the old line. So long! So long, that is!!
