eia ss [Prophecy What has become of our classmates was our question that day In 1967, when we wandered Into the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York where we, the 1957 seniors, were to hold a reunion. Who should we meet first, but Jean Lasswell, who is a renowned scientist at the Atomic Energy Plant at Oakridge, Tennessee. Jean tells us that she is happily married to the owner of the plant. Alas, but could this be Sarah Nichols coming down the hall? Sarah was mar- ried just out of high school, but our little Sarah is not infamous. Sarah has made her mark in the literary world by writing many famous poems, Almost as good as Longfellow's, so some say. Who could that funny man be, but our own class clown. Bob Murphy, the second Red Skelton. Bob is prospering well as a comedian with the help of his sweet wife. We met Ellen Nichols Just at the elevator door. She tells us that she mar- ried a multi-millionaire whom she met at college. Ellen has just gotten back from a cruise on her yacht to Cuba. She had her husband and child with her. And there is Mary Schork. Mary is tops in the dress designing field. She has toured England, France , and other countries and Just recently, Mary has received high credit for her latest design. It was a silver sheath dress. We find Wanda Tripp quite at home in New York, as she is editor of Charm Magazine. Wanda tells us that she is engaged to a jet pilot. Last, but not least, is Darryl Ridgely, who is just out of the Air Force and looking for a wife. He says that he never could make up his mind about women. ----Mary Schork and Wanda Tripp 8

da ss (3 (tstory In September of 1953 seven freshmen. In an energetic mood, journ- eyed up the steps of WHS to start one of four years of high school. What was to be before us for those four years, we knew not. The seven fresh- men then were: Mary Schork, Wanda Tripp, Ellen Nichols, Sarah Nichols, Jean Lasswell, Darryl Ridgely, and Robert Murphy. As we light-heartedly took seats In the study hall with other more experienced upperclassmen, we discovered we were to have five teachers for that school year. Those teachers were: Mr. Louis LeDoux (superintendent), Mrs. Beulah Gould, Mr. Jack Ross, Mr. Corwin Bowen, and Mr. John Moore. Mr. Moore was our class sponsor that year. We found that year to hold a stunning experience for each and all concerned. At the end of the year we found our treasury to consist of a meager sum of $.07. Surprisingly enough we all survived our first year of high school and the summer following. September found us back in the familiar school rooms in places especially reserved for us. We neither lost nor gained pupils that year, but some of our teachers were new teachers that year. They were: Mr. Woodrow Hill (superintendent). Miss Rose Harris, Mr. Frank Humphrey, Mrs. Beulah Gould, and Mr. John Moore. This year we were noted appropriately as being the usual silly sophomores. The next year, as Jolly Juniors, we became a larger class by the addition of one person, Imogene Ritter. Our teachers for this year were: Mr. Hill, Mrs. Gould, Mr. Reed, Mr. Kyle Hayworth, and Mr. Bowen. This year was full of happenings which keep a junior busy. Our play, Junior-senior banquet, etc., were each experiences we all enjoyed. Imogene Ritter left us at the end of the year. The senior year, our last year, makes us fully aware that the three preceding years and the last one shall be days we shall not soon forget. There are too many memories made in high school for us to forget. We have discovered this year that we have twice as many things to do which all makes the senior year so interesting. Our class play, Junior-senior banquet, the senior trip and other exciting events are all fond memories to us all at Williamstown high school. ■Jean Lasswell
