rising. And BETTY STEVENS too. . .she was the nurse in our play. Bet makes a good nurse - she was always so sweet and patient. P.B. Her job as head of the Children ' s Clinic in Providence is ideal for her. Of the four of us who wanted to become nurses, only Betty and ANN HURLBURT went into training. L. G. That ' s right. . .Ann is supervisor at Johns Hopkins Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, isn ' t she? P.B. Yes, and she ' s very well liked there. But Les, can you imagine SHEARS BOARD- MAN, our Class Blusher, married, with a family and owner of one of the most prosperous dairy farms in Berkshire County? L.G. Shears always WAS the home-loving type. . .but DON HOLCOMB is the one who suprised me! Imagine. . .proud owner of one of the most patronized night clubs in New York. P. B. Have you met his wife? A lovely person. . . she was Miss America of 1955. . . and they have twin sons. L.G. Oh, how nice! By the way, PHYLLIS ARMSTRONG seems very enthusiastic about her job as Athletic Director in the new Regional School at Sheffield. She ' s man- aged several championship teams. P.B. Incidentally, Les, where are you teaching now? L. G. Oh, both my husband and I are teaching at Hennigar ' s School for Higher Learning in Alaska. P. B. You ' re as far from home as I am ! L.G. Yes. What are you doing in sunny California, Phyl? P. B. I own a Beauty Salon which services many movie stars, but most of my time is spent at home with my two children, Leslie and William. Leslie is named after you as I promised you I would the night we wrote the Class Prophecy. L. G. Oh, how flattered I am ! I hope I can see them both soon. P.B. Yes, you must come for a visit before long. But now, it ' s getting late and we both have long trips ahead of us, so I guess we had better say Good Night. L.G. Yes. . .1 could go on for hours though, but I guess we had better postpone it un- til that visit. Good Night!

Class Prophecy 195S Time: June 20, 1963 Place: Sheraton Hotel, Pittsfield, Massachusetts Occasion: Class Reunion It was a warm June evening and there was a hint of festivity in the air. At the Shera- ton Hotel, the members of the Class of ' 53 were arriving to celebrate their first Class Reunion since graduating from S. H. S. ten years before. Excitedly they greeted one an- other and conversations renewed cherished memories. Many laughs were enjoyed while talking over happenings of their school days. The span of years had changed these nine people in appearance but the spirits and personalities had remained warm and friendly. During dinner, conversation continued and incidents that seemed to have been for- gotten were d iscovered to hold a place in the heart of each. After enjoying an unsurpassed dinner, it was time for these classmates to reluctantly bid farewell to one another. It had been a delightful evening that would remain long in the thoughts of each. Only two remain Phyllis Bradley and Leslie Gibbs P.B. You know, Leslie, in a way I ' m glad 1 live in California - it gives me an ex- cellent excuse for staying over night. I couldn ' t possibly have gotten a plane out tonight. L. G. So am I, Phyl - now we really have a chance to talk over old times. Aren ' t you rather suprised at the way things turned for everyone? P.B. Surprised, but pleased. How fortunate ANN MACY was to secure a job as top model in the Powers Agency. L. G. Yes. . .I ' m glad for her. She always did have the right qualities. . .remember how well she did in our class Fashion Shows? P. B. Yei. . . we surely worked hard to make those Fashion Shows a success, but it was always worth the effort. L. G. A great deal of credit, though, goes to the many parents and friends whose help was Invaluable. P.B. Speaking of Claw events. . .remember our play - He Couldn ' t Marry Five? I never dreamed RUBENA YOUNG would take her role as a ballerina seriously and become a ballet dancer in New York City. L.G. Neither did I, but she ' s made quite a name for herself in that field and if still
