PROM An atmosphere of excitement prevailed when the juniors entertained the seniors for the first time at the Duluth Athletic Club. Beautiful formals, animated faces and elaborate decorations conformed with the theme, Gay Paree . Master of Cere- monies, Jim Mosack, called upon the sen- iors to present the mixing spoons to Lollie Zebott and Wayne Johnson. Roland Ev- erett's orchestra supplied gay music for the lively crowd who attended to enjoy en- tertainment, good food, and a waltz to the strains of Blue Moon .

PRGPHECY FOR THE CLASS OF I9 6 It is the year l966,the scene is the Proctor airport. The Maxmobile, which is the newest form of transportation, is about to take the class of 1956 to our reunion on the earth's satellite. The Maxmobile, which can travel on land, in the air and on the sea, was invented by Wayne Johnson. George Goodell, whose hobby used to be blowing up laboratories, is refueling the Maxmobile with his atomic fuel. Carl Neubauer, former delivery boy, will dri-ve it, Among the local passengers boarding are Beth Engstrom and Claire Torba, Beth is a secretary in the White House. It is the third house from the comer on Boundary Avenue. Claire set a new record in this country by making a non -stop swim across Rocky Run! Claire says that Leslie Hutchins, the school nurse, cannot attend be- cause there is an epidemic of spring fever. Anyce Traplay and Alice Gagne are next to arrive. Anyce has gone into business with her father and cleans the combs in his barber shop. Alice, the former Miss Proctor, has been named Mrs, Munger, You will remember that Joe Provinske was interested in horses, He fulfilled his ambition by becoming an operator ofthe merry -go-round at the Proctor Fair, Four of our married classmates--Lollie Zebott, Karen Gulbranson, Kay Hannigan and Gloria Kohs -- almost missed the Maxmobile because they had babysitter troubles. Donna Helland lives in Proctor but a slight accident prevented her attendance, She works in the high school library and got lost somewhere among the shelves of books so she couldn't be informed about the reunion. Judy Nyquist is not here because she became interested in hypnotism and tried it on herself, Now she doesn't know how to get out of the trance. We leave Proctor for the short glide into Duluth where we pick up John Platzer and Carol Erickson. John's long beard qualified him forthe position ofMr,Tolliver. Carol is one of the songsters for the Taystee Bread commercial, Our next stop is Pike Lake. Karen and Karol Sequin, who married shortly after school, came aboard with their blond twins. Phyllis Sundbom and Brenda Weselik, new managers of the roller skating rink, live here. They have improved the popular rink by adding foam rubber floors. In Cloquet we find Dale White, who bought the Cloquet Paper Mills to repay the typing paper which he borrowed in high school. Ina Bruley, who always liked Cloquet, is working for him, When we reach Minneapolis we learn that little Lulu Winquist is an advertizer for the Kleenex Company, Lastweek Gladys was awarded a gold-plated kleenex box for her ten thousandth sale, Across the river in St. Paul, Carol Larson is working as a gift wrapper. Carol ties all the packages with the ribbons which she won at the local fair.The latest report about Arthur Maki from Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, is that he holds the U, S. Sleep- ing Record, He gained his experience in school and isn't present because no one could awaken him, We travel to North Dakota where we locate Dick Robertz, who has just been selected to attend the Olympics as the U. S. cow clipping champion. Dick Knudsen from Beardsly, S. D. wrote that he could not meet us because he broke his leg by tripping over his beard, Our next stop, Denver, is for Dick Pesonen, who made news recently when he ran the one minute mile. He was running to Carol Peterson's house and was late. Carol is a beauty operator, Her most recent cus- tomerwas Lassie, who needed a poodle cut. In Nevada we pause briefly for Davy Brown. He has become a mod- em Davy Crockett with his title, Davy Brown, King of the Wild Universe, Sun Valley, Idaho is the home of Richard Vanneste, He invented a sunlamp that shuts off automatically to eliminate sun burned faces. Sharon Bohlin and Myma Kolenda await our arrival in Los Angeles. Sharon is the country's most famous talker , She has just won national honors for talking continuously for sixty-five hours at the rate of two hundred words per minute. Myma is Sharon 's secretary, no one else could keep up with her rapid dictation. Hollywood has attracted Gordon Voss and Bob Cheme, better known as the 'Chemistry Crooners. They hit the top of the musical world with the recording, Son of Sh-Boom. Emilie Helquist and Violet Johnson also join us at this star-studded citv, Emilie is employed by Walt Disney as the new Woody Woodpecker while Violet is the soloist on the Mickey Mouse Club. Larry Nesbit, too, is working in television--he lights Liberace's candles. Starring on the Little Rascals is Grace Barquist, Bonnie Skog is Charlie McCarthy's personal nurse. As we leave Hollywood we tum toward Needles, Califomia, where Laurie Russ, who was interested in sewingand music, has accomplished her am- bition--she sews buttons on band uniforms. At El Paso, Texas, we find Lois Johnson, Karen Halli, and Joyce Kauppi. Lois is the owner of the 1960 Ken- tucky Derby winner and Karen is her jockey. Joyce, always a good sewer, wanted to do something big. She now sews pockets on kangaroos. We leave Texas and travel east. Basking in the Miami sun are Jerry Engstrom and Glen Sjoberg. They became millionaires by selling their excuses from school to a scrap paper company. Marilyn Norstrom and MaryAnn Meinershagen are at Miami Beach. Marilyn models bobby-pins in the Blackstone Hotel. 72
