Together we represent more ability and brains than was ever massed together in one class. July 1, 1955, Stanton Steuri, editor-in-chief of the ‘Albany Herald,' dropped in at ’Sonny’s Clip Joint for a haircut. This is Albany's barber shop run by his old A. H. S. classmate, Ralph Sellnow. In their conversation they started reminiscing about what happened to the other members of their class of 1949. They came to the conclusion that their friends had all been successful in carrying out their plans. Marlene Reinitz graduated from Methodist Hospital and is now nursing at the St. Clare Hospital in Monroe. The ‘Albany Beauty Shop’ and its proprietor, Robert L. Pin Hips, are doing a prosperous business. He is assisted in this by Doris Burdick who attended beauty school; then decided to settle down in Albany. They hear occasionally from Charles Ferguson, now on tour with his own concert group. Another famous member of the class of 1949 is Inward Mood who has hunted wild game all over North America. Grace Peckham and Dorothy Walmer Karlen are to be found living in the vicinity of Albany. Both have settled down to work as housewives which they seem to prefer above all other occupations. Completing the quartette of married students are Betty Wheeler and Margaret Spinhirne. Betty lives in California, where her interest in the U. S. Marines has taken her. Margaret lives with her husband in Albany; they seem very happy. One of the most prosperous farmers in the area is Daryl A. Rhyner. lie chose dairy farming, and his land is used for experimenting in new methods by the State Department of Agn cul ture. Several of the members of the class of '49 are to be found in Madison.

We hear Vernon Schelp over the local radio stations where he is making good as a comedian. Arlene Broughton is assistant to a prominent surgeon, but her personal interest in medicine may cause her to change professions. CLASS PROPHECY
