CLASS PROPHECY As Phil Foster was leaving the Unemployment Bureau he met Bob Pellerin, an old classmate at Thomas Business College, who was also going in to collect his 82250. As would be the case, the topic of conversation was about the old school days in 1956. Bob: Do you remember the old days when we had to work? Well, some of the old class members have pretty soft jobs now. Blynn Galusha is now a free lance mattress tester and Francis Monahan, who also left us at mid-year is passing the time of day as gate tender at the Bronx Zoo. Phil: Did you read in the paper where Senator Gilman set a filibuster record in the senate. He talked for 184 hours without a pause. Sylvia Clukey is in the South Pole as ambassador to that newly formed country. She says she is rather cool to her position though. Bob: Alice Carey is now an ace reporter for Confidential Magazine and George Vachon is in Eugope as a foreign correspondent for Esquire. Arthur Blaisdell has also done quite well. He owns his own pool room in Albion. Carl Rollins resigned his position at T. B. C. to become Arthur's number one janitor. Phil: Our own Bob Preble is in Spain now. He is that country's favorite Bull Fighter. Bob's motto was 'if you can't beat em, join em'. Roberta Chase carries the banner of the U. S. to the Olympics this year. She will compete in the track and field events. Joanne Nivison also is a member of the team. She will compete as a member of the wrestling team. Bob: Marilyn Corey is here in Waterville. She is employed as a typist at the 'Fast Buck Finance Company'. Marlene Best is now a re- ceptionist at the V. A. in Togus. She acquired that position to be near Joe. Florence Reed has her own T. V. show for the kiddies. It's called Ding-Ding School. Phil: Big Bad Clifton Walters is a first Sergeant in the Marine Corps. I just pity those poor recruits. Cliff's former business partner, handsome Francis LaPoi,nte is out in Hollywood as an understudy for Rock Hudson. Bob: Pat Judson is now a model at a famous New York agency. An- other of the girls, Jackie Goddard, is out west breaking in wild pinto ponies. Thelma Woodbury can be seen, live from New York, on the Hit Parade, where she is a singer. Phil: Bob Lane is in Africa on a safari. He is after wild animals for the Farmington Zoo. That was quite a feat that Maurice Gilbert per- formed. He rode this year's winner in the Kentucky Derby. The horse was at quite a disadvantage carrying 365 poundsf' Bob: Carroll Harding is in South America as a missionary. Life is quite dangerous among the headhunters, but not for Fearless Carroll. Payson George is an instructor at his own school for the ballet in New York. Phil: I think the old class has done rather well. I imagine that the graduating class this June will also have a few bright stars which will also illuminate the name of Thomas Business College. Bob Pellerin Phil Foster
