“ Onward and Upward ” Turners Falls High School 1944 THE CLASS PROPHECY Zoom! We’re off! The wonder ship, “Onward and Upward”, designed by Phyllis Schneider and constructed by the world famous Haeussler and Wilson Corporation, takes off on its initial flight. At the controls are Larry Boulanger and co-pilot Dolly Saulnier. This rocket plane is ultra-modern in every respect. Within its glass walls is a massive swimming pool. Lifeguard, David Gunn, is teaching the new Miss America, Fay Carroll, acrobatic diving. On the terrace the President of the Universe, Eddie Czarnecki, and his wife, the former Jeanne Pelletier, are chatting with the noted explorer, Bernard Bourdeau, and Jane Thomas, dip- lomat. Standing ominously behind the President are his two bodyguards, Lillian Sulda and Mary Sopollec. At an adjoining table are the President’s secretary, Albina Waidlich, her assistant secretary, Claire Mercier, and Ma- lonia Marszalek, the First Lady’s private secretary. Exclamations of delight are heard as Sylvia Annear, air hostess, bring;s in a tray laden with new sensational beverages created by Gerry McCarthy. They contain a secret ingredient which prevents illness from overindulging and air sickness. This new drink is sponsored by Theresa Beaubien, who owns a chain of drug stores. The finances are ably handled by her assistant, Jean Bitzer. Strains of music drift in from the lounge. The fragrant odor of fresh cut flowers, from the ship ' s florist shop, Oiwned and operated by Arolyn Walker and Elaine Welcome, fills the room. There in a huge television set, invented by Bernard Boucher, can be seen a large all-girl orchestra, directed by that renowned musician, Katherine Clark. Katherine is introducing for the first time a new folk opera, composed by Mary Care and Jo|hn Janet and sung by the b rilliant coloratura soprano, Jean Spencer, and the well-known baritone, Joe Yarmac. Miss Spencer’s understudy, Helena Lapinski, will render the next selection. The navigator, Janice Thompson, comes forward and annoitmces that we are approaching France. The Park Avenue debutante, Gladys Fiske, en route to Paris to buy her trousseau, styled by that famous dress designer, Doris Englehardt, leaves by way of an air pocket, designed by George Bush. At the same time Ronald Warren’s brilliant working qut of the law of gravita- tion allows us to suck on board Kenneth Rau, Military officer for sciences, lecturing at the Sorbonne in Paris. While greetings are exchanged the plane soars smoothly along at 755 miles per hour, and the lofty peaks off the Alps in Switzerland soon come into view. We are all gathered at the window anxiously watching for the Yo-da- la-hi-ho School for Girls. Gliding to a stop on the roof Helen Kelleher, the Page Thirty-five
