 1 CLASS PROPHECY CONT. Here we are, back in the big city and I feel strangely drawn toward that building with the sign advertising Arthur Murray Dance Studios. Guess I'll have to go in and get hep to the latest dance steps, the rhumba preferably. Who Instructs the rhumba in this studio, I asked? I do, echoed a blonde bundle of pep. Well, are my eyes deceiving me, or is that Betty Sorensen; or shall I say the former Betty Sorensen. Yes, the former Betty Sorensen is correct. To get the story straight Betty narrated as follows: I took the advice of one of my high school teachers and went west. I have always liked to dance, and consequently I ended up in one of Artie's studios. (Artie she says.) There, of course, I met Artie and, well you guessed the rest. We have been toying with the Idea of changing the studio's name to Artie and Betty's, but I prefer to remain in the background and let Artie take all the credit. We talked about many things, and eventually the conversation drifted to high school days and what had happened to the old gang. I briefed her as best as I could, but couldn't seem to recall what happened to the Doht twins. I had no more than mentioned their name when my crystal ball began to cloud up, shake, and give off steam. Looks like we're in for another long journey. Here we ar6 back to the pleasant environment of Nebraska farm life and to be more specific, the Doht Twins Ranch. Marlin decided to be an author, wrote four successful books, and bought a share in Marvin's ranch with the royalties received from his latest book. The Influence of Women on the Male. Marvin, on the other hand, began farming after graduation and now is considered one of the most successful young ranchers in the area. As to marital status, Marvin says he is about to take the fatal step. Marlin says he is running out of topics to write on and possibly marriage would be a new and exciting theme. Well, however this turns out I am sure it will be for the best. The crystal ball is clouding up and I must leave. Good ridance! See you in my crystal balllit SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 19U-8 the Seniors of 1951 started out with seventeen Freshmen, four girls and thirteen boys.
