Qwl Zltim Possessor of a tremendous appetite was Fred Utter, a Spokane boy. Despite the fact that he spent only one year at Lakeside, Fred brought undying fame to the institution by being chosen to represent the school in the State vs. City Football game. Although he started the season as a guard, Fred wound up playing end. lt was at this position that he garnered all league laurels and the nomination to the state team. Rather carefree, Fred always has a smile for everyone. Gfaddf paafzfrewf You know how class prophecies always go. Every one graduates, is a great success, and has two columns in Who's Who. No matter what high school annual you look at, it is always the same. Joe Schmos and Fred Fluke are working on a railroad to Mars. They are having trouble getting the land grant. Such cracks are of the essence of prophecies. But this year and this class is different: no one succeeds. Even the A students, the so-called 'Abrains didn't make a go of life. Why? Hard Times? Taxes up? Flu epidemic? Read on, dear friend. The class of '48 graduated, as all good classes should, and went out into the wild, cruel world to seek its fortune. A written account of all this may be secured at the 15th Precinct Station of the Seattle Police Department. Here are the details: Don Ridgeway and Stanton Eilenberg went into business as a comedy team. Eilenberg was the drawing card and Ridgeway was the straight man. They ad- vertised as the poor man's Abbott and Costello. Eilenberg kept millions of fans in stitches with his allusions to atomic fission and structure. The act began to dis- integrate when Eilenberg poured sulfuric acid into Ridgeway's after shave lotion. John Fox and George Marshall went to California and bought out Madman lVluntz's used car lot. Both went broke trying to beat out Honest John who was giving the cars away. Bob Middlebrook, Tom Meadowcroft, and Bill Bain were contracted to build the 1960 world's fair. They built it but the board of directors for the fair moved the opening date to 1980. The architects went bankrupt. Bob Alexander, Chuck Kettering, and Dave del Valle opened the Old Log Inn, a tavern where you could buy six gallons of brew for a nickel. Dave drank up the profits. Dave Robinson and Addis Gutmann had a weekly radio show called The After- noon After, which outlined the preceding day in sports. They were released from contract because they were not cognizant of the over-all picture of the program. Craig Weisman and Jim Everly toured the nation as track professionals. Everly set a new high for the 100 yard dash when he finished in 15 minutes and 36 seconds, but he broke up the act when he dropped a shot on Weisman's foot. Allan Harlan became a great pianist with Charlie Clarke as manager. Harlan played such sterling masterpieces as A'Frankie and Johnnie. He gave several concerts at Carnegie Hall, but finally developed such a craze for chocolate malted milks that he couldn't take time to play. John Van Patten, Rolfe Friele, and Roger Nielson organized the 'AJo11y Boy faction of the old Populist Party. They wanted free silver, and got it by cracking the safe at the Third National. Each is doing a ten year stretch. Fred Utter, Gene Dight, and Joe Donoghue signed to play pro football with the Basin Street Bluejays. Coach Dave Burcombe released them when they nicknamed him beanpole. Leon and Paul Titus have started a garage right next door to their father's Ford Agency. Business is slow because Fords never need any repair work. fContinued on Page 491

They start out by mentioning their athletes. Among these are Bruce Bordeaux, basketball and track: Jerry Donovan, baseballz Clark Goss, track and football: and Bobby Stiffler, football and baseball. They are Willing to concede that their class has more than a reasonable number of good students, including Allen Greiner, Brad Henke, David Black, and Leonard Bushnell. And they were pleased to have one of their classmates, Allen Greiner, Win the Lincoln Forum as a freshman-against senior competition. The class officers are Clark Goss, president: Bruce Bordeaux, vice-presidentg Leonard Bushnell, secretary: Stanley Phelps, sergeant at arms. First members of the class to asiemble in 1943 were Bruce Bordeaux, Stanley Phelps, and Tommy Simons. Yearly additions have brought the total to thirty-two. The group ranges in size from four eleven to six six, and that is pretty fair indication of how Widely the activities of the class vary. J i f F., i v -L wglwmjlpf
