Senior Class Prophecy May 31, 1968 Dear Diary, Our class reunion was a big success. We held it as planned at St. Croix Falls, Wiscon- sin, where fifteen years earlier we had our senior class picnic. Everyone present enjoyed the event immensely, and all were eager to tell of their experiences and success since graduation. The same committees that planned the class picnic were in charge of the reunion. Leaving Hudson, heading for our picnic site, our caravan was led by the present con- stable of North Hudson, Dwaine Perseiis. Entertainment was furnished by Jerry Hanson and Ronnie Graham, who have taken over the Martin Lewis comedy team on col- ored, three dimensional television, a late in- vention of another classmate, Jim Durning. Ala Doug Morrissette brought his harem from Egypt to the delight of the male members of our class. Ken Larson, whose stage name is Ronnie Jay, was coaxed to sing a few num- bers. He is appearing at Wayne Erickson's Slush Pump Nite Club. Due to previous engagements Jo Ann Schwenk, the Metropolitan opera star, and Julie Overbye, now appearing at Carnegie Hall, could not be with us. Curty Tonis (Tom Jensen), the new bobby soxers' idol, and Betty Schmidt, star of the I Love Gussy show flew in from Hollywood in Flash Tobin's winged car, which she designed for Pontiac. Secretary Joan Bellows reported that Senator Phyliss Benoy is busily proposing a bill for Congress and is unable to attend. Dennis Plant's transports carried all the food for the event from Tom's (Trudell) Bean- ery in Lakeland. Eloise Salmon made her spe- cialty, salmon salad sandwiches. Dick Schwenk reported that during his off-season in pro-football, he toured the world. He stated that Lois Benoy and Bonnie Branch- field have made rapid progress in converting the natives of Africa. He also said that Terry Beaudry is searching in India for the lost treas- ure of the Taj Mahal ruins. Dr. Fredrick Bunce and Dr. William Schul- er have just returned from a national doctors conference in Paris. After they returned, both were interviewed by Sally Hallenberger, col- umnist for the Brooklyn Bugle . Working for the United States govern- ment are Joan Plahn as Secretary of State, Catherine Hooley as Ambassador to Ireland, Carol Mayer, Secretary of the Treasury, Alyce Ferguson, Secretary of Agriculture, and Wally Foss, Collector of Internal Revenue for Hawaii, the forty-ninth state. Among the more intelligent we find that Don Smith has revolutionized Einstein's theory of evolution. Mrs. A. J. Rockefeller (Eleanor Varnum) has been appointed Dean of Women at Hammond University. Living in California, Donna Mae Simpson and Jim Schullo recently purchased the Santa Bonita race track. Working in the same vicini- ty is Jack Stayberg, the new owner of Johnson Johnson products. Katherine Laatsch (Ohrt) is becoming famous for her Singer Sewing Center for Sailors in San Francisco. Among the more daring members of our class who are currently making headlines are Dewey Persell, who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel and Marvin Hassebroek, who is starring in the Darnum Dailey circus in a daring motorcycle act. Bob Means sold his hotel, bought a space ship, and flew to Mars to capture Marnimals” for the circus owned and operated by Jim Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Adams (Betty Jean Mar- ek) have been traveling the northwest during the basketball season with the Lakers, on which Dick has currently been starring. Quite a few of our classmates are now living or working in Chicago. Muscular Gordon Boody has opened an infant's clothing shop called Boody's Booties for Bouncing Baby Beauties. Bill Shirley is president of Dennin- ger's Run-proof Nylon Company. Stephanie Kees works for a famous hair dye company as a tester. Fifi Bengston and Mimi St. Ores are working in New York at Bags Fifth Avenue as models. The store was formely called Saks. Dick Larsen is a pocket edition author, and Marilyn Bienemann is his secretary. Mary Gail Breault is a Broadway actress starring in Guys and More Guys. As the picnic began to break up, a vote was taken; and it was decided that plans would be made for another reunion five years hence. Sincerely, The Senior Editors Mary Gail Breault Betty Schmidt Katherine Ohrt Jerry Hanson Ronnie Graham P. S. Pat Fleming was on hand to take candid shots for her photography magazine. We are all anxious to receive our copies.
