CLASS PROPHECY In September of 1990, I decided to go and see Ed Harnish who is now a full fledged hypnotist. I wanted to see what has become of some of my illustrious class- mates. The first revelation I have is Kim Baldwin as presi- dent of the Wilmington Men's Club. Assisting her is Joe Russo in charge of slimnastics. Mad- dog Wally has gone mad about weight- lifting. Don Churchill is giving ballet lessons to Bob Dorval, who is now the W.H.S. football coach. Stunned by this turn of events, I won- der what is to come. Paula Kavanaugh is now head cheerleader for the Boston Pa- triots. Ralph Peterson is waterboy at Schaefer. He is in charge of bringing wa- ter or whatever to ,Iohn Kaminski to help him score all those touchdowns. Mark Callahan, whose new scoring method is based on some of those weirdo math department formu- las, is in charge of the football cards. Gene Witham is his head dispenser, trying to recoup his losses. Heading back to dear old Wilmington, I ran into the bank to cash a check. Who was working there, none but president, Jake Tighe. Doria McMillan, Tammy Oli- veira, Cindy Laquidara, and Cindy Costa are his secre- taries, and Steve Brander as his speech writer. Willie Lyford and Lorraine Spada are working as tellers. Don O'Connell was a teller, but after being short 51000, he is now the custodian. As I leave the bank and head to Jack-in-the-Box, I find Kevin Ness, jack Stygles and Carl Butler occupy- ing their usual seats. Vin Scifo, his wife Marilyn and their sixteen kids are going through the line in the Rosil Mobile. Leaving Jack-in-the-Box, I almost ran into Lin- da Allen in her finance's new Rolls Royce. Has this town gone crazy? Surely old W.H.S. hasn't. I seek refuge in these hallowed halls. As I come in the front door, I am greeted by the new principal, Bob Bavota. Julie Wallace is his secretary. Mary Markey is now the superintendant. Steve Olson is still trying to pass Algebra I, with Lynn Rinker as the teacher. Jimmy O'Conners has taken over the counsel- ing department, with Gene Reithel and Jamie Hadfield as guards. Robin Land is now the school truant officer. The Class of '75 has taken over every- where, I must check out the town hall to see if they have infiltrated there. Mark West is now the town manager. Marie Fantasia is working on the tri-centenial commission. Leslee Webber is the recrea- tion director. Vince Castellano is chair- man of the board of health. Brian God- frey, Mark Yankowski, Richard Diehl and Linda Kovitch are the selectmen. Surely there must be one place that the class has not taken over. I take a short walk down by the Town Crier, where Joe Shibilia is now the editor. Two hundred yards down the railroad tracks was our secret hide-a-way. Now there are condominiums owned and operated by Kathy Sulli- van, Elaine Heim and Lori McNabb. Steve Pilcher, Leo Jones, Wayne Vokey and Dana Rouche are their grounds keepers. Stunned by this takeover of the town, I head back to my job at the drugstore on Route I. The snapping of a can opening awakens me from the trance. I bid farewell to dear old Wilmington. As I leave the office, I see other members of my class of '75 going in for help. I hope they have better luck than I did. - Doug McLain
