I WESTFIHD CLASS PROPHHIY We think it would be fun to have some idea of what we may expect of our class :Ln the near future, so with an eye on the condition of our seniors in the next twenty years, we board the U.S.T.S. CUnited States Time Ship' COWANISQUEAW and blast off. Coming down seconds later, we find ourselves in the year 19724, in Westfield. The first person we meet is Urge Acklg. He is employed as chief porter in Union Space Station. We learn from him that Vivian Bebout is stewardess on the weekly Earth-Mars flight. Viv would go anywhere after a man, wouldnit she? We catch a helicopter into the center of the city and stop for lunch. It's amazing how you can speak into a microphone and the food pops out of a drawer. We yell into the mike and Donna Clow's voice cones back, 'Who dat up dere? Donna tells us that she is chief cook and bottle washer in the store. She meets a lot of drips that way. From Donna we learn that Sandra Lghier is teaching shorthand in an interplanetary business school, run by a cute professor. Derma also says that Dale 22215 has found a new way of shopping in his string of grocery stored. You sit at home and use television, he's making money by the rocket load. We look for souvenirs and find Aldine Dennis next to the book counter, she is accountant to the president of United Space Ships Inc., who, by the way, is La-xg Eckson. Aldine says that Larry is a millionnre and has made several trips to Mars and Venus. 'S lg Eaves is secretary to the vice president. How's the lap, Shirley? Aldine mentions that W Beebe has attended a space pilots school in Philadelphia and is now on his first trip to Mars. D e -gf is still working his way through the Texas University of Woman Haters. Leaving e store, and walking down the street, we meet Wi Franke, now a R.N. taking care of a retired band leader who went nuts over 'Dragnet'. HNWYWURI Wi 39-yi that Louis George has moved to a place near Syracuse and opened a clothing store. He is fleecing his customers with the new Super Solar pattern 'Crazy Rose'. Willy mentions that Mariln Eaton is still carrying on corres- pondence with men, and has one on every inhabited planet. Shirley Houghtaling is interior decorator for all the ships manufactured by Larry's firm. Walking on, we are stopped by a wolf whistle, wiv, it's gi-ug Friske. She catches up with us and we move on. She is secretary to the principal of the new C. . school. Donna tells us that Carole Lovell teaches Home Ec. there. What's cooking, Carole, or is it burning? Donna also says that their band leader is Jim Little. Wonder if he has any young ladies after him? Knowing Jim it might be the other way Feeling thirsty, we stop at a restaurant and find Shirlgz I-Lg is the manager. Her favorite dish is green space salad. Shirlg Morris is the dietician for the establishment. Maude guarantees that she will reduce you or starve you to death trying. Ruth Stermer is short order cook, her achievnent - moon cheese cake. Ruth tells us that E-u-gene -gf and Earl L32 are a wrestling team. Their next bout is against the Martain Hadmen for the panty-waist title of the Universe. Happy bone breaking, boys. Maude tells us that Connig Q'Lenick is writing her memoirs and has entitled them, 'How to Trap a Male in Ten Easy Lessons . We order a flavor gf in ol-em ngmgd H1441-gain Rgy 5 on the cup we read the manufacture1's name--- Clara Smith and daughters. Too bad she used her maiden name, we would like to find out who the luclq fellow is, here'e a clue - the cup is decorated with space ships and sailor caps. We leave the shop and see that there is a new medium of communi- cation in town, T.V. Phone. Let's look in at Mom-oe's Studios. Here a new movie is being filmed for distribution to the nation's schools, 'School was Hectic, Twenty Years Ago'. We call for the producer via the T.V. Phone - it's Carl Monroe. Carl says that he likes directing movies for school students because he enjoyed them so much in assembly. It was so nice and dark. Bill Ruef is working with Carl as stage manager and electrician. Bill just couldn't get away from a P.A. system, could ne? Maybe he likes it because of the leading lady, Beverg Swame. She is understudy for Marilyn Monroe and works at this studio in her spare time. Bev expects to make her mark CXJ on stardom soon. She comes to the phone with the news that Beverly Seamans is trying to make a hit of her new song, 'Two-Tone Dodge of C.V. I-H.gh'. She has even gone so far as to sing it on street corners. Carl tells us that Shirl Lan Gordon is trying to work her way to the moon to find her boy friend. He promised to marry her as soon as he finished his book, 'Shirley I Love You, But Oh You Kidl' Try hitch-hiking, Shirley. Marlene White is fighting mad because she oouldn't get on T.V. as a comedienne. She wanted to co-starT1Ti1Thar n. Hccm-try, but he was afraid than might be some an-ings attached. B111 tells us that Jocelm Parker is a woman wrestler and is trying to arrange a bout with Battling Bessie the Bantam Bruiser. Popular opinion is that Bessie insulted Jo by calling her a pee-wee. Jo is going to retaliate by twisting her into an inhuman pretsel. Saying goodby we go back into the street. Next door :Ls a beauty salon called 'Bev 8: Ev's Shoppe' We stop to look over this new business and find that the owners are Beverly Trowbridge and Evelm Richardson. Bev has written a book on the comparative beauty of Earth and Venus women, the best seller of 19714. Evelyn has perfected a new shampoo, 'Green Rain' guaranteed to remove your hair and shrink your head. Leaving the shop we hail a super-sonic yellow cab and tell the driver to take us to the time ship port. We find that the driver is Ed Stahli. Ed tells us he used to be with the Consolidated Railway until they caught him riding the rods. We speed merrily on our way until we hear a siren. Stopping we are surprised to see a woman cop, Janet Taft, no less. She tells us that ggi-wigs! went crazy over logs and church mice, and is living on Venus. Mr. Andre is retired and is in Hawaii. Watch him, Hrs. Andre: - - Having established the whereabouts of all of Mr. Andre's proteges, we climb aboard our rocket ship and return to the problems of 19514. 3h

WETFIELD CLASS HISTORY As we, the Seniors of 19514. are about to take off in our rocket ship to explore the nvsteries of space and the future, we fondly recall the memories of our past high school days. In the fall of 1950, a group of space-minded boys and girls became Freshmen under the excellent leadership of two space pilots, Hr. Andre and Hr. Michaels. Our dynamic class of forty-eight was divided into two solar sections with the following co-pilots: president, Shirley Van Gorden, vice president, Gary Swimley, secretary, Donna Clow, financial secretary, Beverly Swayne, treasurer, Lorriane Pond, historian, Sandra Lanphier. The fund-raising projects of this year consisted of bake sales and sponsoring Lester Smith's 'Tap Time . Wilma Franke and James Little represented us in Junior District Band and several others Joined our school band and chorus. 001' main social events were our Christmas party and class picnic. In 1951 we entered the second stratum of our high school career. Our number had been recuced to forty-four-Deborah Berdanier, Ilene McCullen, Wayne Judd, and Lorriane Pond having moved to another planet. Oau' class co-pilots had changed, too. We elected: president, Gary Swimley, vice president, Beverly Swayrwi secretary, Donna Friske, treasurer, Marilyn Eaton, historian, Connie 0'Len1ck. Our class 'kitty' was augmented by selling Christmas and Easter candy, and by presenting our play, 'Oh Baby'. We Joined forces with the Juniors in putting on a Minstrel Show and we again sponsored the 'Tap Dance Revue . Putting forth a supreme effort we sponsored a very successful Alumni Ball. Shirley Houghtaling and Sandra Lampnier were chosen as candidates for the annual Queen of Hearts Ball. Candidates for King were Dale Roberts and Louis George. Marilyn Eaton won the V.F.W. Essay award and Gary Swimley received Hmorable Mention. Our class boasted cheerleaders on both squads - Donna Clow and Marilyn Eaton supported the Venus Varsity while Sandra Lamphier and Shirley Lee gave their time and talent to the Saturn Squirts. Wilma Franke was chosen to represent our school at District and State Chorus. By September 1952, forty-one had rooketed to the position of atom-smashing Juniors. We were thrilled with our new cosmic ray class rings. We again elected new co-pilots to keep us on our courses president, Wayne Judd, vice president, Gary Swimley, secretary, Carole Lovell, treasurer, Marilyn Eaton, historian, Frank Palm, Our class play, 'Here Comes Charlie was atomic in its success Our treasury began to bulge with the proceeds of candy sales, 'Tap Time , and class dues. Two goddesses of the earth planet, Comie O'Lenick and Carole Lovell were candidates for Queen of Hearts. The earthite god candidates from our star were Wayne Judd and Louis George. Donna Clow and Sandra Lamphier were elected Varsity cheerleaders while Shirley Van Gorden and Beverly Swayne supported the Jay Vee team. The long awaited day came at last. August 31st saw thirty-six members of our class attain the rank of SENIORS of C.V. High. Six boys had transferred.to Knoxville to take Ag., but we gained Viv1enBebout, Shirley Eaves, Aldine Dennis, Dzgene Beebe and Dale King to our star in their place. Our first endeavor was to conduct a successful magazine drive which was directed by our capable manager and class president, Gary Swimley. Other officers include vice president, Eugene Kump, secretary, Beverly Swayne, treasurer, Sandra Lamphier, historian, Marlene White. Wilma Franke again represented us in District and State Chorus and in the District Band. Donna Clow, Sandra Lamphier, and Shirley Van Com-den were elected to the Varsity cheerleading squad and Donna was chosen president of The Student Council. Thirteen of us were chosen for the National Honor Society. Shirley Houghtaling and Marlene White competed for the Queen of hearts crown while Grays Ackley and Dale Cushing represented our class in the battle for the K lg crown. The last lap of our flight is upon us - as we look forward to our graduation and si-:for trip, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Andre who has guided us with patience and kept us on a straight course during our four years of toil and fum. Now, as we go forward into space to take our places :Ln the universe, we sincerely hope that our achievements, both large and small may be a credit to C.V.J.S., its faculty, and our town. 2-'S grad K3 ?RESEN'f' 33

By this time the Seniors of the Glass of 19511 have gone out to seek their fortune. As we fly over Knoxville we see Qin. Kilburn the chief of the Space Police. Deborah Berdanier is managing a space diner about 200 miles above us. We just had Doctor Neil Goger go streaking by in his space car. Over in the cemetary George Kline is directing a funeral. As we go on we see Roland Dibble who owns his own planet farm. As we fly over Chicago we see Lois Smith's store of womens space suits. Over across town we see Onolee 1Im a big executive in a television plant. Somewhere between vgnug and Earth Rock Howland is selling can openers. QQ Reimann is a tennis table player on the moon. Jean Sayer is a mother of 13 children. Gag Zimmer is a Dixi Jazz player at his Starlight nlghtclub. Shirley Schmidt is the bubble dancer in the club. With Bob Olng as door man how could Frank Palm's hotel fail. I-larg Trowbridge is top Janitor and Stanle Fuhrer LB dishwasher. Dale Roberts finally married Alice and all is well. LII Seagers is a comedian on the Smell-a-vision. Pete Judd is a gentleman farmer Qgan Buffard is now a wrestler, flowers weren't strong enough. As we are surveying the senior class of 19514 we look for some outstanding things done by our class members. As we look we see that Frank Northup has discovered two twin planets. Marlene Seeley has become an ambassador to Darkest Africa. George Broadbent is a midget space car racer. Allison Baker became a preacher with a strong and powerful sermon. Very long too. Shirlgy Haskins married a Genesee boy. gt Doan made a name for herself in the field of nursing. While Joan Hegngnn became a director of a hospital in New York City. Dean Dean is manufacturing ladies lingerie in his textile mill. Joanne Moore became a model. After a long look we find Name Judd is run- ning a hook shop for old and used women. Rose Marie Bacon has her man cornered on a far away planet. - As we fly away from earth in our rocket ship we can't help thinking that on the whole our class hasn't done to badly for themselves on this earth in the last 20 years, and what they have accomplished in these 20 years their children will double in the next 20 years.
