In writing essays Trudy does excel, Through the rest of her life we wish her well. If all school lessons were about a sports car, Edward Swartz would be a star. Marian and Lorraine are very good friends, Theirs is a friendship that never ends. Myrna may be a short and little lass, But she's one of the nicest in our class. Shirley's a girl you ought to know, With dates and studies she's always on the go. In music Betty has found her joy, She really prefers it to any boy. Activities and lots of fun, Certainly keep Lorraine on the fun. Now we leave these halls of learning, Never more to be returning, We've learned our lessons and made many a friend, But our high school days now have their end. The time has come when we must part from you, So to friends, classmates, and teachers we bid adieu, Your help and your friendship we'll never forget, The years spent with you we'll never regret. -Caroline Jones. CLASS SONG CTune: Let The Rest Of The World Go By. J As we leave school today, To all we say It is time for our good-bye. All the good times we had Now make us feel sad, As we leave Brodhead High. Is the future to hold What we have been told About tasks and trials we'll meet? Now we proudly confess We will meet with success Because of Brodhead High. Chorus: Our school days are through We now say good bye 3- Our memories will stay behind With Brodhead High. Our Junior Prom was gay and bright, In Paris we danced that night. In forensics and sports our class won its fame. With music we enhanced our name- For in the future ahead, new paths we will tread With the hope gained from Brodhead High. -Gweneth Fleming. f

Bev Fairman is a very friendly lass, She doesn't need to worry if she's going to pass. Gwen Fleming was our cheer leader, It would take the very best to beat her. Gerald drives a bright red and white car, In getting good grades he is a star. Fred's little verses don't go to his head, But to school lessons, he prefers a bed. In Faith you'll find a friend always, If you need her, she always stays. Caroline and Donna, fast friends are they, They're always together in work and in play. Laugh and the world laughs with you, This is a saying Duane's has found to be true. Jean Main is so little and sweet, To have her as your friend is quite a treat. Bob likes to eat best of all, He even does it in study hall. Larry makes sure he studies his history. But where he gets a book is a mystery. Duane is one of the farmers of our class, He's not very often seen with a lass. Dick is a friendly sort of guy, When you get to know him he's not so shy. Marty can draw and write poetry, too, She is a girl who never seems blue. Bruce Peterson is quite a swell guy, Around the girls he's rather shy. In agriculture Arthur does shine, In band he also does quite fine. Some call her Peggy, some Margaret, Her forensics experience she'll never forget. Carl's interests seem to lie far away, He thinks school lessons just don't pay. Some people never have a dull moment so they say, In our class Shirley Ruef's that way. Jake Schlittler has a very big heart, He's always willing to do his part. Many a good time Bill has seen, Maybe it's study that makes him grow lean. Diane isn't so very shy, She's happiest when she's with a guy. Jerry loves to drive his car, He prefers it to study by far. - Peggy Staffeld came to us last year, Her presence has brought us more fun and good cheer

CLASS PROPHECY Ever since that eventful year of 1953 when Brodhead High had the most spectacular Prom of its history, I have had a great interest in France. Finally when Dior, the great dress designer, asked me to repre- sent the United States at his world style show, I decided that this was my chance to see France at last. I left for France with my assistant and companion, Shirley Ruef. We left on the Brodhead liner, the biggest liner on the ocean. When I boarded the boat I decided to go the Captain's Room and see about the time of my arrival in France. When I entered the Captain's Room, I was thoroughly shocked to see Bruce Peterson sitting at the captain's desk. He informed me that since he had enlisted in the navy after graduation, he had been all over the world and was finally made captain on the Brodhead liner. He also added that everyone envied him for being from that famous city, Brodhead. I asked him why it was that Brodhead was so famous? I realized that in the twenty years since gradu- ation I had lost track of the happenings of Brodhead. Bruce told me that Brodhead was noted all over the world for its new revolutionary type of cheese, a mixture of Swiss and limburger, without the holes. It was per- fected by Shirley Wheeler and her cheese-making husband. Not only was Brodhead known for its cheese, but it seemed that Jake Schlittler was managing the Schlittler Construction Company of the United States, that is he was when he was not in Europe visiting his famous, designer wife. Satisfied with that answer, I asked Bruce which classmates were left in Brodhead from our graduating class. As he was beginning to tell me, there was a knock on the door, and who should enter but Donna Eidahl and Phyllis Anderson. I asked the girls what they had been doing in the past years. Donna said that she was the ship dieticiang it seems that she has always had a great interest in food. Phyllis said that she entertained the guests by her famous singing. We began talking over old times and again I asked which class- mates were left in Brodhead. I found out that Lorraine Zimmerli and her husband were now run- ning a big dairy farm near Juda. They had revolutionized the cattle in- dustry by discovering a new grass which made cows grow twice as fast. Lorraine Vigdahl had gone to teachers college and now was one of the best loved teachers at B.H.S. Beverly Fairman had taken over her favorite teacher's job, for she was head physics teacher at B.H.S. Dianne Smith had married shortly after graduation and was now living happily in Brodhead with her family. Jerry Stabler was a foreman for Jake Schlittler and was still a bachelor. Peggy Stafeld had became a social worker and had moved to Haiti, where she had spent some of her childhood years. Jerry Christensen was teaching his six sons to be good farmers as he is. - Caroline and Donna Jones were running the world's finest stables of Arabian horses. Faith Hageman had decided that she would run a business college and had moved to Belgian Congo to train the Hot-tentots. Fred Goodsir had taken such a liking to bookkeeping and mathe- matics that he had invented a' new calculator and had become the World's mathematical wizard. Bob Meythaler had bought out Heinie's and was keeping the school children very happy in their study halls.
