) t. PROPHECY W’’’ Here it is, 1952, and we discover the resting places and working places of the Senior Class of 1940. Mable Austin is still teaching in a rural school trying to teach youngsters to read. Gene Harding is sweeping floors in Willard Lewis’ factory where he manufactures his new steering auto which can be easily handled with one hand. We find that Dave Higbee is the Republican candidate for United States Senator, and is using his High School campaign program. The government isn’t sending Bob Beech to the front, for they think he will have enough war at home. He married Betsy Bess Berg. Bill Moore is still going to college to get his Bachelor’s Degree for he can’t find a girl who is willing to spend all her time in the kitchen making delectable dishes. Donrae Hogsett is a “lineman,” since he had plenty of experience with climbing telephone poles in his High School days. Darlene Mahin is doing secretarial work for a firm in Ohio. Doris Carpenter is in the movies, taking the place of Shirley Temple. Helen and Margaret Lewis, the twins, are married, and each has twin boys. Donald Larson is America’s No. 1 G. Man. He’s searching for Sam Rezac who is charged with hunting snipes out of season. Luella Dearmin is known to be in the midst of many clamoring cannibals in Africa actually converting the natives. Also in Africa are Sara Cunningham and Margaret Terry. Sara is dodging in the deep woods of Africa in search of millers. Her companion is Margaret Terry who is known as the world’s famous animal trainer, but men are her specialty. Dale Kaufman and Wayne Kerstine are singing stars in the Meadow Grove night club. They each must earn a living for their pretty wives. Dwight Stewart draws comic strips for several of the countries leading newspapers but Velma Skeels draws his pay check. Lyle Pugh is still working at the “Cabbage Farm” near Battle Creek and Betty prepares his daily “Corned Beef and Cabbage.” La Vonne Schulze, is a registered nurse in New York, and supplies the daily sustenance for Carroll Schlueter. And so the Senior Class of 1940 has progressed by the magic of “Old Man Time.”
