Class Prophecy of '51 We, the Junior Class of 1951, do hereby prophesy that the Senior Class of 1951 will graduate and that those who marry will be married and those who do not marry will not be married. IRA CLIFFORD ANDERSON ln 1965, we find Clifford Anderson, who has settled down in Texas with a wife and child, as a millionaire. He was drafted and sent to Texas and after the war he returned there, and discovered oil. He extends his best wishes and has invited us, his high school friends and classmates, to visit them. He has a pretty wife, boys, and everything else, but I advise you to leave them all alone. Gump, as he was called, is bigger than most of you boys. ROBERT BRADD In 1965, we find Bobby Bradd in his home in Indiana with his wife and twin girls. He met his wife in Gibson City and after the war they were married and moved to Indiana. 'lBuz.z.ard, as he is called, is still the same guy with his welcome smile and hello. CONNIE CLARK We see Connie, sliding up and down a telephone pole, crossing our wires. Seems as though she is still single even though she ran a hard race trying to be Kenny's little cow girl. ALICE MAE CORRIE Here we find Alice Corrie sitting in an easy chair holding her little triplets, two boys and one girl, while talking to her hubby, Jinx. They were married here in Saybrook and then moved to Hollywooduwhere Jinx played the leadingpart in a movie, Ee- 1211 9-f .1Nly.Dreams. WILMA LOUISE DIEDRICH Working in the big Saybrook Telephone Office is Wilma. She was married to Carl Williams a few days after graduation. Carl stays home at the Cherrington Rooming House and takes care of their twelve kids while Wilma brings the bread and butter home. Cheaper by the dozen, we hope ................. JOHN GARY GARRETT All stretched out in his easy chair, 'smoking his pipe, is where we see Gary at most any time. He is happily married to Colleen Taylor who would do anything in the world to please him for fear of losing him. Who ever thought Gary would be the type to over power a woman? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? NORMAN WINCHELL HALL . We find our old Buddie-Buddie, Winchell Hall, racing up and down the highway. He is now married to his old S. C. H. S. sweetheart, Connie Clark. They were married in 1952 and are now the parents of eight kids--all of which are girls, just like their mother.. Good going, Winchel1!!!! DELMAR DEAN KIRKPATRICK Delmar Tuffy was pitching a baseball in the pasture the summer of '51 when a scout for the New York Yankees spotted him. The scout thought Tuffy really had what it took, so he took Tuffy to New York. Tuffy made a big hit with everyone and was soon the second best pitcher the Yankees had. He met a dashing blonde who gave him quite a spin, hut one day tried marriage, but Gary's pipe finally drove Dot out. Tuffy and Dottie married and they now have twin boys with curly hair and brown eyes. I

ROBERT BANE LIST Farms, farms, farms. Bob now has three farms all his very own, except for his wife, Nelda Stauffer. They are happily settled with their twins, Ricky and Vicky, age two. Bob's not doing bad for the shy high boy he used to be. RICHARD REX MYERS Sitting- by the fireside, holding his fiance's hand, are Dickie and Donna. They are patiently waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Myers to move to a home in Florida so they can occupy their home. MARY MARIE NICKRENT College was Mary's dream, and she got it. She was a stenographer for Farm Bureau after graduating. Then she became a personal steno for Bob Hawthorne. Love moved in. Mary is happy with her blonde, blue eyed baby girl. DOROTHY MARIE NUSS We find sitting on a couch in front of a fireplace, Dottie and Tuffy. Even after twenty-three years of married life and three sets of twin boys flocking just like Tuffy, Dottie and Tuffy still act like a pair of newlyweds. Guess that's really love, isn't it? ? ? ROBERTA FREJDA RIECKS In the year of 1965 we find Roberta Riecks living on a small farm, three and one- half miles from Gibson, with two blonde, curly headed twin boys, named Tim and Tom Jr. It seems Tom and Roberta can't afford the '50 Frazer they had when courting in their high school days. They have a 193l Chevie. Roberta Taylor sounds as good as Roberta Riecks. She lived on a farm most of her life and enjoyed it and now she has a long time to enjoy it. WILLIAM KENNETH RIECKS With a face and a figure like'Kenny's, it's no wonder he made it to Hollywood, where, as always, women are chasing him as they did back in S. C. H. S. Since I-lopp's sidekick, California, died, Kenny is taking his place. Kenny's legs changed since he played bas- ketball. fHorses, you knowj. PI-IILLIP ROBBINS We find Phillip Robbins, our bashful S. C. H. S. chum, running the red lights and stop lights. He has a wife, Vonna, and his little twin boys with him. Phillip and Vonna were married in Gibson City after Phillip was graduated from College. Now who would have thought Phillip would make such a move. NELDA JOAN STAUFFER After graduating from S. C. H. S. , Nelda went out to Indiana where her brother Gene got her a job. She worked for one and a half years as a typist in one of the big depart- ment stores. She then married her towheaded Jim and any day providing the weather is good, you will see Jim and Nelda riding their green cycles. Attached to the cycle is a side car with three towheaded boys enjoying every mile. ROBERTA LEE STEED We find Roberta in South Dakota married to Eugene Roth, who is still working on the steel bridge. They have five little red-headed kids, twin boys and three little girls, Seems as though she has a start on a. basketball team and cheerleaders. Q
