I After walking a few more feet they heard a few soft voices calling and to their surprise saw Eleanor Godbout, Elaine Corriveau, and Ethel Zuidema. Ten years hadn’t separated those three. Of course they were all married. Ethel married right after graduation. Eleanor was presently engaged in hairdressing. She had fulfilled her high school dreams. Elaine also went through with her high and noble aspirations of being a policewoman; much to the surprise of her former classmates. They then joined the group in search for seats. Just as they were seated Gail appeared on the stage. The whole class wept as they listened to her wonderful singing. At the conclusion they all decided to go back stage and congratulate Gail. On the way down they ran into Roddy Lavallee. He was still wiping his eyes with his handkerchief. Between sobs he informed the class of his success in teaching. He also was happily married. At the bottom of the steps the class spotted Jenny Szewerenka. Everyone exchanged greetings while she rubbed her red tear stained eyes. She then told of her many pleasant experiences of modeling. She was at the present time making preparations to go to Paris with the modeling agency. She also mentioned that Alice Szewerenka was at the present time stationed in Africa, as a missionary. Alice loves her work; she wouldn’t change for anything. Upon reaching their destination they found that someone had already approached Gail; it proved to be Barbara Lewis. Barbara related her many pleasant experiences as medical secretary and even more sO;her satisfaction as a wife and mother. After greeting Barb, Joan Cote and Elaine Boutilier literally bumped into us all as they came from opposite directions. Joan had taken an office job at the M.P.A. after graduation and said she was now happily married with four children. Elaine’s private secretary job in Whitinsville proved fortunate, as she married her boss’ son. Harry Smity, Bill Vasalofsky, and John Freeland with Patricia Paquette in tow, ran up to us with shouts and laughter. Pat said she had enjoyed a short year working as a typist before she settled down to raise a family (five children so fa r ). Harry was completely devoted to his trucking firm, no marriage as yet, and Billy’s time was occupied with his very successful Variety and Newspaper store. John smiled broadly as he explained that he was the owner of a prosperous chicken farm. Indeed all the members of the Class of ’54 have done well. The program was wonderful, but even made more so by the thrilling encounter experienced by twenty-five people, who ten years ago all lived in the town of Sutton and were graduated from S. H. S. on the seventeenth of June, 1954. Genevieve Szewerenka Barbara Lqwis 22

Class Prophecy The newspaper advertisement read--“Gail Mathewson to appear at the Metro- politan Opera House--June 15, 1964.” Who would dream that the twenty-five pupils comprising the Class of ’54 would emerge to such noteworthy fame and prominence. Immediately preceding this discovery, each member of the class vowed to himself that he would not miss it. Thus, with absolutely no knowledge of the intentions of the remainder of the class, a reunion was under way. It was still early in the evening of June 15, when a limousine drew to a stop in front of the Metropolitan and a beautifully dressed girl, Loretta Amour, was assisted out by a well dressed man. Alongside the limousine stopped a Cadillac and out stepped Phil Edwards. After much scrutinizing, they recognized each other. Hearty greetings were exchanged; they then fell into conversation, each disclosing what the many years had wrought. Loretta, after leaving S.H.S., got a job with an insurance firm. After six short months she married her wealthy boss and thus retired into a life of leisure. Phil, likewise, did well for himself. He fulfilled his high school ideas of being a farmer. He now owns a successful farm and is making money hand over first. Heading toward the door, they saw a car speeding down the highway and in a flash come to a stop in front of them. They could hardly believe their eyes, when Donald Moore along with his family greeted them. He then joined them in summing up his past ten years. It seems that Doc started a garage business, which turned out quite successfully. Just as the group reached the entrance, they met Judy Freeland. She ]r,.ked sophisticated in her well chosen clothing. Smiling, Judy replied that she was still engaged in her teaching profession. While talking to Judy, they observed an anxious figure pushing her way into the ticket line. ‘‘Why, it’s Janice JernbergI ” She was soon summoned and quickly joined the growing group. Jan briefly explained her oc . atio’ ' -.as nursing. Although she was married, she had taken such a sine re ’ove for it, she could not give it up. Conversation was then resumed, mainly concentrating on th ' ' ' L ss p ay and trip. Right in the midst of laughter and tears, Bette Chausse walkeu th- ' . agh the door. All ‘oh’d” and “ah’d” at the beautiful dress and equisite je elry she wore. Yes, interior decorating and Bette seemed to agree. The happy group pushed their way into the hall. To their great sui ise Bob Craw walked over to them and disclosed after leaving the Navy, he completed a course in Physical Education and is now happy in his work. They then resumed walking. They did not get far when they saw Roy Crandone. But he was not alone; he had Mrs. Crandone and seven little Crandones. Everyone knew Roy’s fame as a baseball player, thus no questions were necessary. Just as they reached the top of the stairs, they came face to face with Richard Caldbeck. He relieved their questions by telling of his profession as an engineer. He said he loved his job and found it very interesting. They had only advanced a few steps, when they saw Shirley Burgess. She was accompanied by her husband and two children. After shedding a few tears on Janice’s shoulder, she revealed that after leaving Sutton High School, she went to college, after which she taught for two years. She is now happy keeping house. The show had already begun when the now enormous group finally reached the seats. In the front row they spotted Edmond Peladeau with Mrs. Peladeau. Roy invited him along with the rest. Ed’s story was short but interesting. He told of his experience as a farmer, having his own farm and enjoying every minute of it.
