PROPHECY As we look in on the business world, we spy Jack Dubetz, that smooth talker. Jack has embarked into the world of women’s fashions where he is doing a fabulous business. His fashion designers are Knima l.ou Adams and Annette Gannon Even in high school these girls were always abreast with the latest fash- ions—today they are designers of such fashions. A little insight and love of work took these ladies a long way! We hear that some of our friends have migrated to New York, so let’s take a jaunt there to see what we shall see. Isn’t that Linda Black getting off that plane? Let’s go over and talk to her. Yes, little Linda—as pleasant and fresh as ever. Linda, a psychologist, is just returning from her yearly European excursion. She loves traveling, but she’s glad to get back to G. H. Our cab driver is none other than that old shyster, Gary Lcabhart. Gary knows New York City inside out. but he drives as if he doesn't know which is the “in and which is the “out ! We learn from Gary that Terry Burke manages a little restaurant known as “Terry’s Dive”. We manage a free meal out of Terry who persuades us to stay for the entertainment and are we glad we did! That famous comedy team, which has its own television show, none other than the “Sipes-Kowalchek Simps , really brings the house down! They’re still as silly as ever! As we’re going by Camp Kilmer, we may as well stop and sec Sergeant Robbie Love. There’s Rob drilling that group of new recruits. My, how loudly he yells—sounds just like those sergeants one reads about. In high school I never thought Rob had a serious bone in him! And look over there—it’s Margaret Williams and Della Duvall. These girls are members in the Women's Army Corps. They like army life very much. Nearby Philadelphia we run into Martha Saylor, the little girl in our class who spoke only when she had something worth saying. Martha, who always liked children, manages a successful kindergarten. Anna Pawuk assists Martha with her work; she supervises the playground activities of these little youngsters and enjoys herself immensely. Getting closer home, we see the money-making milkman, Harry Houck. Harry graduated from the Pennsylvania State University where he studied the dairy business. Now he owns a large dairy. Prosperous is Harry—he even skims the skimmed milk! Not too far from our rich farmer is Martin Territo. Marty runs a fine barbershop. He caters to little youngsters by giving free bubble gum with every Saturday special which he advertises as “Marty’s Atomic Haircut Special .

Prophecy Jack that two of our classmates arc members of his faculty; in a few minutes Jack takes us to Mrs. Paul Querry and Mrs. Tom Croft, whom we remember as Dorothy Creswell and Gloria Bar- nett Dorothy, a bit grey perhaps, but still regal and dignified, serves as guidance counsellor to the girls. Gloria, whose store of historical knowledge always amazed us, is teaching social studies. Not too far away we see a cozy little tea room which is managed by Christine Demoi.se, Patty Skvarka, and Elizabeth Streharsky. Business is good, we sec. And at one of the tables we recognize Gary Black, still eating! Gary teaches mathematics at the near-by university and believes in patronizing his three classmates. Well, while we're in Johnstown, let's look over the town a bit. Look at that sign: “Paul Lucas, Chiropodist”. What’s that mean? Foot-fixer? Oh, he fixes corns and bunions, eh? The bunion business is surely booming—Paul's waiting room is so full that we can t find a seat. His receptionist is his sister Agnes. She doesn't even recognize us—she keeps looking at our feet. Let's turn our travels toward Washington and over to the F. B. I. building. That little character hurrying through the cor- ridor is Harry Korar. Harry has made a name for himself in the department. He is credited with having captured, single-handed, nine of the Ten Most Wanted Men . Harry confided in us that the reason he hasn’t captured the tenth one is because he kinda likes him. In the Marksmanship department of the F. B. L, we see I immy Lightncr performing his marksmanship skill before a group of wide-eyed seniors. Timmy got the idea years ago when he, too, toured the department on his class trip. We sec Bonnie Leavcllc and Margaret llcath in the filing department. They're busy with papers of some kind, so we’ll talk with them later. Look at that beautiful yacht cruising down the Potomac! Oh, it's Larry Williams; he's taking his family and a few friends on a cruise. Larry won a fortune from his uranium fields which he inherited from an unknown uncle. With Larry to entertain his guests are Peggy Houck and Lewis Winfield, internationally known singers. Peg and Lou began singing at R. H. S., remem- ber? Another of Larry's guests is Betty Metz who looks as young and pretty as ever. We see Betty surrounded, as usual, with men. She always wanted a rich husband, so she married a rich sultan from Turkey. Let's journey to the governor’s mansion in Harrisburg to sec that shrewd old politician. Robert Martin. Bob is serving his third term as our governor. He has conducted vigorous cam- paigns—making promises, shaking hands, and kissing babies. One of the governor’s secretaries is Beverly Buckley. Beverly, who doesn't look a day over twenty, is still' full of that pep and vigor which she had in high school.

PROPHECY And here's George Snyder—look at his feet. Football shoes. George is the football coach at Juniata College. You should see George pacing up and down before one of his games—I'll bet he holes in his soles. In the local hospital we find Frances Reed. Frances is the dietetian, and she really throws some meals together! Assisting her in the diet kitchen is another of our classmates, Donna Miller. Donna, who never was one to talk much, still minds her own business and goes about her work. In Cooks we see the former Beiniece Edwards busy with her little family, but who still has time to supervise the community library. Berniece is such a great reader herself that she puts forth every effort to afford an opportunity for reading to all her neighbors. Shirley Stapleton is nearby too. She runs a beauty salon. Shirley was always so particular about her own hair that she decided to go in to the business and help others to have beautiful coiffures. We see that Dorothy Marlin has gone into the newspaper business. She edits a weekly called The Gossiper . All of Dorothy’s material is fresh, up-to- the minute gossip; she collects it herself and does a wonderful job. And look at that loving little couple on the way to a P. T. A. meeting. Yes, Patsy and Irvin, who are both quite civic-minded, arc very active in com- munity affairs. Irv, who has a prosperous trucking business, is president of the Tussey Mountain Joint School Board, so he keeps in touch with our old Alma Mater where the twins too played football and graduated several years ago. Jerome Parks, who fell out with work in his high school days, has a television repair service here in town. All his repair work is guaranteed for two hours, so you see that Jerome keeps busy repairing his repairs. And here is the beautiful ultra-modern Tussey Mountain Joint High School cafeteria where we stop for a meal; we find Nancy Leabhart and Barbara Yablonski, who are cooks in the cafeteria. Barbara and Nancy got a liking :o .his type of work back in their high school days, and now they're quite hands at the art of cooking. As we told you in the beginning, we were going to take a look into our future—we did, and it all sounds a bit fantastic, doesn't it? But although we have dwelled in the realm of fantasy, well heed Kipling's verse which cautions us thus: If you can dream and not make your dreams your master, you'll be a man. my son”.
