CLASS PROPHECY We, the Seniors of '54, gather around the council fire of the village for one last pow-wow before de- parting unto our respective tribes. Attention is cen- tered on the Medicine Man, who has promised to give us a glimpse of what lies before us on the great road of life. The wizened old man sits in meditation for some time, gazing'into the flames. A wolf howls in the distance and an eerie silence falls over the gathering as he finally begins to speak: I see several of your classmates representing the United States in the Olympics of 1964. CATHY LONCHEK is coaching the Girls' Soccer Team, and defeating Russia's heavyweight boxing champ is BRUISER MURDOCK. STEWART JONES is break- ing the 880 yard track record and PAUL LEWIS is a standout on the championship football team. JACK KILTY is a familiar name in the basketball world, leading America's basketball team to victory. As head chemist, I see DON CRUMB at Bausch and Lomb Laboratories while SALLY FERGUSON and MARY BOUCK are nurses at Crouse-Irving Hospital. I see DON FENTON, Doctor of Psychology, in a plush office furnished with JOHN SALAMONE'S Sagging Slouch Couchesf' BEV MASSEY, the smil- ing receptionist, is receiving BILL CREWELL, a hell driver, as the last patient of the day. JAN Mc- CALL, the nurse, is showing out KEITH ARM- STRONG, a stock broker, on his weekly visit. Our shadows make grotesque figures in the fire- light and we move closer as the medicine man goes on to say: DONNA LEE CARD, space ship pilot, is making her first trip to the moon with an all male crew. HOTROD MATTHEWS is setting a new speed record at Indianapolis in a jet-propelled Rocket Racer designed by BOB EVANS and MY RON HIBBARD. Monopolizing the New York State Dairyman's League as large producers are JOHN GALA, BILL NAYLOR and JACK YOUNG. The editor of the newspaper called the West Winfield Scream is JANET MOORE, well-known journalist, and ALICE STOTHERS is fashionreporter while ROSE POTTER writes the Advice for the Lovelorn column. Then, DOT ROONEY heads the Industrial Arts Depart- ment of the Central School. I see ELEANORE LOVE accepting an Oscar for her role in the movie Junior Miss. Milton Berle's
