PrcpkeM) We see that Garland Albers finally made the grade — he owns his own airlines. While on the subject of airplanes, Bev Bergman is a stewardess for Northwest Airlines. The famous Anderson Turkey Farms has a stenographer that we know — Marlene Anderson. Office work claims another graduate, Harriet Peterson. She runs a comptometer machine for Prudential. As we sit and look into the future, we see several girls that went into nursing: Pat Cofield in India; Arlyce Furst, head nurse at Northwestern Hospital; Marion Merz at Orono; and Jo Ann Rieser in Greenland. The teaching bug caught several grads: Beth Hehl is teaching 4th grade at the Stubbs Bay School; Kenny Hohenstein is teaching art; and Pat Maski fulfilled her life-long ambition of teaching kindergarten. Deeper and deeper into the future. Events become clearer and we recognize more classmates. Grady Bryant has just finished his hitch in the Navy and is now driving trucks for his dad. Dennis Lytle has finally gotten through R.O.T.C. and is holding down the honors of seaman 2nd class. Jean Courtney has finally worked her way up to first position in the Buckhorn. Janis Nelson works with Jean and raises a family as a side-line. The night wears on — hour after hour . . . we must hurry or it will be daylight . . . Carol Nelson covers the Long Lake news for the Minnetonka Herald while Lanny Parke writes the gossip column for the Minneapolis Star. Roger Dieson is building a swimming pool and theater in Orono High School. Peter Raffety has Gary White bidding against him for rebuilding the Brooklyn Bridge. We have to look farther into the stars . . . a few grads are far away . . . Ann Ferrin is quietly married to a minister and lives in South Africa. Bev Danielson (Daniel Yorgesson?) is practicing physical therapy in Sweden. Dale Turnham is a successful salesman selling teakwood from Central America. We flash back home and take a peek . . . Esther Gabriel is still washing dishes at Johnson's Cafe and working for Walter. Mary Gerber now is the full owner of the Gerber Baby Food Company. Merlin Glampe works in U. S. O. camps entertaining soldiers. Marilyn Johnson runs a nursery school for her own kids. Crystal Bay's Leonard Larson finally hit six-six and is exempt from the draft. Tom Ovshak is a successful veterinarian in Maple Plain. The stars flash us to the West Coast where we get a glimpse of Tom Hopf racing hot-rods. Dick Sonderup is his side-kick and partner. Ronald Lepowsky took over his dad's job — driving for Greyhound. Every once in a while, he gets to the West Coast to see Dick and Tom. The stars flash us back and forth into the futures . . . Joyce Klatte is modeling French clothes in Minneapolis and Sally Swenson is modeling for Dayton's. Larry Myers plays nightly at the Marigold and Donn Stinson is working for Mather's in Florida. Roy Swanson and Carl Thomas are working on their fathers' farms. Carl wrestles every Saturday night besides. Yvonne Olander fulfilled her ambition — she married Paul. Darlene Peterson worked her way into the star performance of the circus — the laughing woman of the world. George MacDonald purposely became President so he could put his feet on the desk. Cecil (B. De) Taylor is a T-man for Treasury Department. The last prophesy was told in time ... it is morning . . . another day begins for the '54 graduates of Orono High School. 19
