SENIOR CLASS PRGPHECY Hello, folks. We are greeting you from the deck of Commander Gene Gumpy Andersen's battleship the USS Sheffield. Since Gumpy was put in full command of all the Coast Guard fleet, he invited the class of '49 to hold their tenth reunion aboard one of his ships. He seems to have made quite a reputation for himself in the Coast Guard, not only with the brass hats but with some of the young ladies of the surrounding country. As we walk around the deck we can see quite a few familiar faces. If you glance over your shoulder you can catch a glimpse of that noted actress, Sue De May. Sue got leave from her director, Mrs. Welsh, to attend the affair. She lust finished making a picture called Sweater Girl. l guess after making that picture Sue doesn't have to worry about compe- tition now. Sue says she owes most of her success to her start in dramatics at old SHS. Standing by Sue is Don Van De Keere who has taken time out from his sports reporting to come to be among old friends. Don is pretty well known among the famous people of the sports world. lt seems if a person is mentioned on Don's program, the person is well on his way to fame. Well, there is Ruby Sprowls Humphrey and her better half, Pete. Ruby didn't think she would be able to make it be- cause she couldn't find anyone to stay with her twins, Ruby ll and Ruby III, but at the last minute one of her old admirers called and took the iob. Ruby says that housekeeping is a cinch after holding down two iobs. One thing she seems to like is that she doesn't have to hurry and she gets a few moments rest once in a while. Here comes a couple of the late arriv- als and it looks like Mrs. Don Griffin, the former Betty Mae Hasbrook and husband. They left their 400 acre farm, the Short Acres, in Walnut, Illinois, to attend the reunion. Betty's cooking seems to be agreeing with the male member of her family. She says she can thank her lucky stars she took home ec. while in school. After talking with Josephine Hortega I find she hasn't changed a bit. She was still talking about that certain guy from DePue, but she can't seem to make up her mind whether to marry him or not. Josie said she was having too much fun to settle down. lt seems that we've heard that one before. Say, who is that standing by the life- boats? Why, it's Betty Van Nleirj It was hard to recognize her with that short hair cut. Betty is make-up director at the G.U.M. studio in Hollywood. Betty told us, after a nice chat, that she got the yen for make-up while on the make-up de- partment for the county play. Hey, what's all the shouting about? Let's go and look. Well, there's Patty Dean still trying to get Wallace in office. lt seems that Patty, who was going to be an artist, changed her mind and became a politician. She has had a lot of experi- ence for campaigning from history classes at school. Patty says she might even run for president next election. That distinguished gent standing there talking to Patty must be the world famous surgeon, Beryl Doc Giltner. Bud just got married to his high school sweetheart, Pat Miller. Now the people in Kewanee don't have to start running when they see a Buick coming careening around the corner..Bud says he had a hard time pass- ing tests during pre-med because they wouldn't let him use the notes he had prepared before hand. Have you noticed the lovely blue rose corsages that all the feminine guests are wearing? They were gifts from Dauphine Cast Iron Sipes. After Dauphine finish-
