THE GRAD CLASS-1982 The sun is just appearing over the horizon on the morning of May 19, 1962. A sleepy Vicite returns home from graduation, very happy, but a little sad. As he had watched his classmates walk across the stage the night before, he had realized, so suddenly, that each one was special. Everyone had played an important role in the life of Vic, and he knows they will play an equally important role in the world of tomorrow. Sleep -seems impos¬ sible; the years roll away, and it is 1982. Strains of the Commencement March fill the room and the graduates of ' 62 begin to appear again; just a little older. The first person to appear is MR. COLIN CAMPBELL. Colin spent his Grade 12 year making fish for Vic ' s Grad Dance, and has now become a Deep Sea Diver off the coast of Newfoundland. The little lady beside Colin proves to be BARBARA FLAGLER. Barbara has become the world-wide president of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Little People. (CAROL McELGUNN has 100% attendance). BEVERLEY GREEN and DAVID HUGHES appear with their heads bent over a copy of GLAD, a new magazine which has replaced MAD as the magazine for the intellectual. Experience gained by these two on the Vic Argosy proved to be invaluable in their creation of this quality magazine. Behind Bev and David comes a polka- dotted Dino led by MADAME EILEEN DUBETZ. Madame studied design in Paris, patented Dino and has become a multi-million¬ aire. She is accompanied by the other half of Vic ' s old cheering squad, DENNIS MASSEY, who is still twisting. The next person to appear is MYER RABINOVITZ. After a wonderful performance as Plato in Vic ' s Rebel Without a Cause, Myer has spent the last twenty years on Broadway, looking for a cause. Beside Myer is DONNA MAE HOWDEN who has become famous for her Italiano cooking. Donna has taken over Victoria ' s Cafeteria and feeds the students nothing but Pizza. A green-clad figure, armed only with a bow and arrow enters and proves to be KAY ROBIN BINGHAM. Kay has given up a brilliant career as a female astronaut to bring edu cation and culture to the people of Sher¬ wood Forest. Kay is accompanied by JOHN BUTLER who has amazed music critics of the world by his performance of the Minute Waltz. Each year John knocks a little more time off, and at last count he was down to 43.7 seconds. The next person to appear is KENNETH LAMBERT (whose eyebrows still go up.) Ken left Vic with a slide rule in one hand and a football in the other, and has since developed The Scientific Method of Playing Football in a Lab. On each arm Ken has a girl, dressed in Oriental garb. They prove to be BARB EDMUNDS and LINDA COMMON, who be¬ came so enthusiastic in their campaign for KIM BONG JA, Vic ' s adopted student, that they have spent their lives in China cultivat¬ ing rice crops. A famous pair of dimples announce the entrance of ELIZABETH MARKLE. Eliz. ob¬ tained a Ph.D. in bio-chemistry, and has devoted her entire life to the development of a chewing gum with flavor that really lasts. The man with the basketball under his arm beside Eliz is DARWIN SEMOTIUK. Darwin has become a brilliant sports personality, and spends his time autographing basketballs, and track shoes. Following Eliz and Darwin is BOB BUR- CHAK who has gained a Bob Hope type of nose. Bob entertains audiences of the world with his impersonations of the teachers from a school called Victoria Composite. Beside Bob is ROSALIE FISHER who now plays lead French horn for the Boston Philharmonic. She owes it all to her experience in Mr. Demarco ' s band. Many more familiar people are appearing in this Vicite ' s dream, but the Commencement March is being replaced by the roar of a lawn motor and the shouts of children. Our Vicite rolls over to contemplate the fate of the 1962 graduating class, and somehow he knows that each and every member will do his part in creating the world of tomorrow. 18
