Class Prophecy lX'lay 2.1, 1971 Dear hlargie, 1 was overjoyed at hearing from a former Swatara Township High School graduate and was very much interested at hearing about the other commercial students of 1951. Here are some of the students about whom 1 know. Keith McKay, Richard lX1yers and Walter Bishop are the proud inventors of the never-miss artillery gun. This gun is constructed so that it is mathematically impossible to miss anything within 500 miles and traveling less than 5000 miles an hour. They claim to have gotten their basic information from lNlr. Hartman in trigo- nometry class. Did you hear about ,lack Traino? He is the leading candidate for the Presidential nomina- tion in the coming election of 1972. Evidently serving as president of our class was good train- ing. Dolores Lafferty is working for a business firm owned by lack Toth, Charles Wolf, and Frank Stewart. There is an unconfirmed re- port that they hire only girl employees, but 1 don't know anything about that. Richard Mansfield is a mechanic for that famous hot-rod racing duo, Ronald Reed and Robert Rine. They havenlt lost a race in their last forty starts. Since Warren Snavely has taken over his father's meat business, it has rivaled Swiftls. The super salesman is Richard Johnson and the fore- man of the big plant is Duke Batula. Anthony Stoll and Howard Peig are oper- ating a very successful gymnasium in New York City. One of their best,customers is the winning lawyer in that recent missing persons' case, Lynn Weiser. Elwood Harrell is now coach of the Har- lem Clobetrotters, and hasn't lost a game in two years. Reid Lippert, after a successful career in the Marines, is now living on his pension and still searching for a perfect girl, although it is rumored he saw many of the female sex during his time in service. Lester Stephenson and Steve Custin are using their good looks in the movies while Char- lotte Bittinger and Albert Hollenbach are Stal'- ring in that new opera hit, Hlt Canlt Re Done . The script was written by Kenneth Koller. Those teaching at their old Alma Mater in- clude: Robert Lebo, physical education, Ruth Shaeffer, music instructor, and Samuel Klick, democracy teacher. Margaret Wilson, after getting preliminary training at the Polyclinie Hospital in Harris- burg, is now head nurse in the largest veterans' hospital in the country. 1 saw Rheba Potter the other day looking very trim in her WAVE uniform, and she told me she finally married the Marine whom she used to date. 1 received an invitation the other day to at- tend a party given at a well-known night club. The host is Carl Lynch. After inheriting a cou- ple million, he is now making a hobby of col- lecting expensive dogs and entertaining expen- sive women. Albert Roberts is now making a modest for- tune as a bricklayer. His wife, Louise Randolph, is the eminent dress designer. Well, l am afraid that's all l have time to write now, as 1 am late for my ditch-digging job. Sincerely yours, Donald Zook May 15, 1971 Dear Donald, The Navy has hit townl Betty Pagano, now Mrs. Alden Cundy, was here over the weekend while her husband was on leave. She has been traveling with Aggie while he is in service. Dorthy Levens and Jo Anne Zook, soon to be discharged from the Waves, were shopping around looking for the home of their future photography studio. They are having their shop purchased through the Harrisburg National Bank, where Esther Wilson, as secretary to Mil- ton Horner, the President, keeps things ticking like clockwork. Helen Frank is head bookkeeper at the bank. fContin'ued on Page 222
