PRO PI-IEC Y Gazing into the crystal ball we see our fellow colleagues scattered to the four winds--immediately we see Duane happily married to Carol and taking over his father-in-law's job. He has been given the opportunity of working on the Alcon Highway to Alaska. The crystal ball moves us slightly eastward where we see Virgil Rodacker herding his fine Holsteins into greener meadows in the great dairying state of Wisconsin. From Wisconsin we move on to a city where the crystal ball reveals much excitement. As the mist breaks, we recognize Arlo participating in the thrilling, breath-taking escapades of the Dare Devil Act at the World's Fair in Chicago. Leaving Chicago, the crystal ball moves us to New York where we see Wesley sitting next to George McMannus as his assistant cartoonist helping him sketch out the latest edition of Bringing Up Father . Here also we see Margie, sitting in a ring side seat of Madison Square Gardens awaiting the triurnphant entrance of one of her many male lovers for his championship bout. From the great metropolis of New York the crystal ball reveals to us another specimen of our male colleaugues--that of Gurrnen. We see him spending many hours on the irnprove- ment of television, thus bringing the world closer to his native North Dakotans. As the crystal ball becomes less clear we see Phyllis Fortney in a white uniform studying the culture of diptheria germs down in Richmond, Virginia. Many years of schooling have given her a very commendable position there. We knew Jim's executive ability would extend to heights of distinction for we faintly see in the crystal ball .Tim as president of the Hootchie-Cuchie-Hotsie- Totsie Ladies' Ready-To-Wear Store in Miami, Florida. With him is his beautiful streamlined wife, Doreen Martin, as his foremost model of Mia.mi's famous bathing attire. Leaving Florida, the crystal moves us on to where we see signs of roaming coyotes and the pungent aroma of sage-brush. The figure is that of Willis Koenig, a prominent rancher, located deep in the heart of Texas, giving his famous call, Oh come now! at which his prize herefords come running from the distant hills! The crystal ball becomes quite clean now, and it brings us up from Texas to California where we see Lorraine and Phyllis Oien as co-operators of Madamesialles Beauth Salon at Hollywood and Vine. Who do we see getting a facial? None other but our celebrity of the Diamond Horseshoe, Audrey Kelm, getting ready for her nightly Coriaco Act. Leaving California this magnificent mechanism reveals to us a little rural school house in Idaho, and as we peer 'into it we see, Mildred Tallman conducting her daily classes. The crystal ball is now very clear as we arrive back in North Dakota where we view the life of our last classmate, Arlene Grover. We always said, May all your troubles be little ones, Arlene, and she sure has got them for we see her happily married and living on a farm south of Bowdon with her little cherubs clinging to her apron strings. We do not know where our lives are leading to, but we all hope for success whatever our choice of profession will be.
