! xx jf v , 8 Y r f- ,QQ -A---V ,V ' T-fKA ga The Class Prophecy Here I am passing through Wakefield for the first time in ten years, en route to my class reunion. The town certainly has changed. It looks more like a metropolis with its high, modernistic buildings. The greatest change, however, is in good old S. K. H. S., which has doubled in size during the last decade due to the addition of a gymnasium, an auditorium and another small building. It certainly is very thrilling to see once more the gigantic sign blazing forth with, Welcome Class of 1941 . I turn into the parking space and notice Doris Arnold, Mary Holley and Kay Bannister entering the school. Both Doris and Mary are nurses at Bellevue Hospital, while Kay is private secretary to Cassius Van Merle-Smythe, Esquire, the famous Wall Street hnancier. While I am parking my car, up drives Ruth Atkinson, who is now writing for the Narragansett Times , in her new model without a steering wheel. That famous cop , Frank McKinney, invented this novel automobile. He says it greatly reduces night accidents. Mary MacIntosh is with Ruth. Mary writes the famous society column Party Line in the South County News . At the door I am cordially greeted by Mr. Conlon who finds time to attend even though he is an extremely busy man. I decide to wait just inside the door to see all my old classmates as they enter. Arthur Diana, a truant oihcer in a large New York City high school, is the next arrival, he is followed by Marion Cottrell, head dietitian at the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Janice Hathaway, Mary Davis and Louise Franklin appear shortly. Janice is now living a happy married life in Southern California. She has amassed a tremendous fortune by her discovery of a run-less stocking fa secret of coursej. Mary has a big question to decide. Six hospitals are urgently requesting her services as a nurse, and she can't come to any decision. Such are the woes of fame. Louise is rather prominent these days. She has just been appointed secretary to the President. Here comes Robert Doran. He is the superintendent and architect of the recently completed, and much-lobbied-for Mid Saugatucket Bridge which has its easterly terminal at Lewie's. This feat of Civil Engineering saves Miss Cummings many weary steps. Greetings now to Virginia Holland and Rita Marquis. Virginia writes sentimental verses for a large valentine company, and Rita is teaching French in a private school in Chicago. Here is Dorothy Hynes whose new cook book should be very interesting to some of our newly married classmates. She is dietitian at West Point and certainly knows how to please the men. Mr. Conlon just told me that joseph Papa and William Hill will not be able to attend. joe has a big pool match scheduled for tomorrow in Bermuda and Hill is working at the Douglas Aircraft factory in California.
