CLASS PROPHECY he washes bottles for the infants at Moose's Nursery School. You'll never guess what! Beverly Wrightstone has been made Commander-in-Chief of Sanitation and you've never seen such a change in a place! After her outstanding work as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare in Ronnie RQHEHSPETLQKTJS cabinet, she was ideal for the position. You remember when Ronnie was elected president by an over- whelming majority as candidate for the Yo-Yo Party with Keith Quigley leaving his landslide business at 5th and Market, Lemoyne, to be his running-mate. Bill Bear was a member of the West Shore faculty, assist- ing Mr. Baugher in the extended physics department, but he was liquidated while attempting the Hrst classroom demonstration of Einsteinls Theory. George Smith, known as the Golden, Trembling Voice of '57.', was admitted with no trouble to the Elvis Presley Chorale due to lack of members. Joining him in this group were those insane drivers, the inseparable Prasses and Nancy I can hit an 'Ai even though I am an altoi' Sperling. Mary Linn: I haven't seen hide nor hair of jack Leiter or Dick Keefer, have you? Terry: Well, the last I heard, they were both well-known as the 37 year-old Latin Lovers of Highland Park, still at- tending the high school dances. Alice Oberman, janet Miller, julia Stoner, and jean Gingrich have attained world fame in the famous Rocket- tesl' at Radio City. Chief choreographer and instructor for the group is the famous ballet instructor jack Stickel, jack left a very promising position with the New York City Bal- let to improve and Hdevelopw the Rockettes. Rosanna Zimmerman, editor of the l957 Trojan, is fol- lowing an editing career in her adult life as Editor-in-Chief of the New York Times. Frances Rineer, after her appcndectomy during our senior year, became so interested in hospital work that she con- structed Rineer Memorial Hospital on Island Park in the Sllsriuehanna Sandy Binkley and Emily Anderson, struggling young actresses, got their first big break on Broadway in the smash- hit based on the best-selling novel, Chewin, the Fat with Jim and Jim. That must have been the same novel you mentioned. Making his debut on T.V., Warren Slothower replaced Bucky Beaver for Ipana Toothpaste on the Micfkey Mouse Club. WVith his brilliant, dazzling smile, he soon reached the top of the ladder of success and stayed there until all his teeth fell out. Cathy Orris, once a bouncing cheerleader, is now a bouncing librarian in the New York Public Library. Some of our old classmates achieved fame in Hollywoodg Sande Schwalenburg was a promising protege of Sophie Tucker II, Marilyn Beshore, and was known and loved for her charming expressioni Hey look, kids, I cut my hair againlli Rich Harris, a dead-ringer for Jimmy Dean, rose to stardom in such great epics as Midget', and I Hate Womenf' g Paul Kohler, a family man from 'way back, took over Dorothy Dix's Lovelorn Column and reduced the divorce rate of readers 78.2W. Profiting from his expert advice, Mary Reitzel was successfully counselled on dealings with Penn State. When the United States decided to build the Aswan Darn for Egypt, Doug McClain was chosen chief engineer, but as he was patting the last bit of cement into place, the whole structure collasped and he retired to a life of embar- rassed seclusion. To repair the disasterous damage, joe Santo, famous civil engineer, was chosen with Bill In silence there is strength Diehl, and Madelyn Patton, the girl with the ultra-ultra scientific brain to assist him. After graduation, Earl Wood became a perfumer under the name of Early Whirley and took up residency in Green Lane because he craved atmosphere. His unforgettable scent, Woodsy', by Early Whirley is being used by sophis- ticated women the world over. Another one of our classmates became a member of the West Shore faculty. john Twigg is teaching trig and has been affectionately nicknamed Johnny Logarithmn by his students. Following the pattern set by a long line of trig teachers at YVest Shore, he is an Elvis Presley fan and en- courages his students to chew gum. With his deep, resonant voice, Walter Coulson has taken Tony Marvin's place on the Arthur Godfrey Show with the old red-headu being replaced by our favorite red- headf, Larry Nelson. As an aspiring young actress of the l960's, Lynne Krat- zer reached heights in the traveling company of My Fair Ladyi' as chief prop girl with her old side-kick, Nancy Hil- debrand as her co-worker, sticking labels on trunks. Beverly Brinton became another Florence Nightingale and just as famous after she nursed Dave Hoernle back to health after his nearly successful attempt at the heavy- weight title of the world against Floyd Patterson. Bill 'iSponge Spong lived up to his high school nick- name by becoming the first sponge hunter to dive over one thousand feet without a diving suit to Ubring 'em back alive! Once the gabby gut of the senior class, Scott Basom, became a U.S. Senator and broke the filibustering record- his time being 927 hours, 56 minutes, and 44 seconds. Kathy Goodall became K'Miss Gym Sneakers of 1965 after she charmed the president of the Goodyear Rubber Company with her favorite expression, Stay off my sneaks! . Bonnie Aughenbaugh, Alice Marshall, and judy Beavers, once members of West Shore's famous girls' basketball team of '57, because of their athletic prowess, went on to join the U.S. Olympic Team, giving rubdowns to sore team members such as Wayne Hostetler now 8,lOM and Bob Lug 8'll , both members of the basketball team. It was rumored that Mrs. Luff and Mrs. Hostetler fed the boys a steady diet of Vigoro so they'd make the required team height of 8'5 . Craig Muscle-boundl' Hunt won recogni- tion in the Olympics for his marvelous muscles and for his sage saying lt isnlt how big your arms are, it's how you use themf, And last but not least on my list is Bill johnson, once a professor of English and Philosphy at Yale, who has been giving the most interesting lectures on logic, ethics, and Shakespeare at Oxford University in England. Well, that seems to wrap up our report. Hope we do as well in the next twenty years. MARY LINN GROSSMAN TERRY MCCLURKIN

Upon arriving at Gettysburg our first stop was the museum. After having bought our share of souvenirs everyone assembled in the room where The Battle was shown by means of an electric map. Once again we boarded the buses and set- tled back for our educational part of the trip, taking time for lunch and also a few snapshots. Cli- maxing our afternoon we enjoyed seeing the Panorama of Pickett's Charge. Around 2:45 P.M. the buses headed back toward Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. It was quite a day, one which will always be remembered. . .We Were There. . i g fsg 'I I' t t l iiiiii i'i i t M A an ..,. V4 we . A, F ihii. , yfrfiii V.
