CLASS PROPHECY It wot o fine spring day ond I wot driving down the Main Street of Whitesville. New York It wot the big doy of the clots reunion. When we groduoted, we hod decided to meet in ten years at the school house and when I drove in, the ploce was filled with people We hod a big dinner in the cofeterio. There we learned about the effectt of ten years on the Class of 1954. First of oil, I met Joanne Bledsoe, George ond little Georgie. They seemed to be o happy little family. Ten years hodn'f made ony difference in Joanne, little Georgie wot having the time of his life. He was constantly chosing Anna Moe's little girl. This is how I met Anna Mae. I could hordly believe my eyes. She hadn't changed a bit either. She even wore the same kind of glasses. Her husband was the tall, dark ond handsome type of fellow. I have forgotten his nome. Their little daughter wos very cute. I think her name was Oottie. I don't blame little Georgie for chasing her. Ray Smith hadn't changed much either. He told me that he went out west and became a wheat rancher. I asked him if he ever got married. He told me that he married Virginia Davis, later I was talking to her and she showed me their four boys. Dick Ordway wos there wilh his wife Emma Gene. I was surprised to find that after a lot of scouting around, Dick finally decided to stick with Emma Gene. He didn't need to tell us about his career. It is the talk of the nation. He is a stor major league baseball player. Emma Gene ond he have three little boys. Emma Gene become a public health nurse. Bruce Payne became a civil engineer. He works for the government in the Decogon. Bruce's job is to lay out the main highways and bridges that will be built on Mars—in case we ever go there. Jim Frost was there with his wife ond little girl. He had really changed. He had a well groomed beard which gave him a very distinguished appearance. He had become an artist for the Saturday Evening Post and took over old Norm Rockwell's job. And, of course, there was Mary Jane. She didn't need to tell us about herself. We hod read about her in the headlines. Three years ago she was appointed to the President's cabinet as Secretary of Education, Welfare and Health. Now there is politico! talk that she may be elected our first woman president. Dave Golish went a long way in ten years. He became principal here in Whitesville Central. His five cent cigars keep the school well fumigated. He has a fine way with the students because he still has Mrs. Cornell's old paddle. Carol Kear was there too. She told me thot she is a secretory for some Doctor Webster. As sort of a hobby, she plays the violin in the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Charley wos there with his big red '64 Cadilloc convertible. He became a big business man in some large firm. He had with him, his gorgeous private secretary. She was Pat Thompson. She told me, confidentially, of course, that she is always so busy sitting on Charley's lop that she never gets any letters typed. Stew Harrison was there too. He is a big man with broad shoulders. He told me that he bought a big potato farm up in Maine and raises around five-hundred thousand bushels of potatoes a year. There was Melvin and his wife, Gloria. Gloria was os talkative as she ever was. They hod two little boys, one Mickey and the other 'Little Elmer'. Melvin, after he graduated, built a large Garage and went into the car business. His motto is Honest Melvin buys 'em and sells Herb Smith had become a dairy former. He owns a fomous purebred Holstein dairy, he married a fine farm girl, Isabelle Colemon. Who would have guessed it? They had two little girls. Poor Herby won't hove any help with the farm work in his old age. Another dairy farmer that I talked with was Dick Johnson. He too, owns a well known herd of cattle but his are Ayrshires. He told me that h married an out-of-town girl and now have a fine pair of twins. Both Mildred Herrick and I became school teachers. Mildred is an English teacher and I am a Science teacher. We are both noted for handing out big assignments. Before the big class reunion drew to a close, we had another class meeting, just like oid times, with everybody shouting and all parliamentary procedure lost. All that was accomplished at this meeting was that we decided to have another class reunion in the year 1974. After we all shook hands, we went home and started wondering whot another ten years would do to our old class mates. Lyle Slack
