ed nurses training she started making so much money she couldn't handle it all, so she invested in a chain of florist shops. Dauphine got interested in flowers while working at Thomas' greenhouse. She got an obsession 'for green carnations then, but now its blue roses. Shall we go over and say hello to David Lanphere? lt seems that Dave is still having a hard time finding the right girl. Dave is quite successful in running a very elaborate barber shop in Anna- wan. He takes a vacation every summer and goes to the different summer resorts hoping to find the one. This summer he is going 'to Palm Springs for three months. We're wishing you luck, Dave. While we are on this side of the ship, we can stop and have a chat with Roberta Friend. Roberta is really going places in the nursing profession. She was made superintendent of the Lord Have Mercy On Us Hospital. The other day Roberta was interviewed by a newspaperman and she told him she owes much of her strength to not have to beat egg whites in home ec. class at old SHS. The tall blonde lady standing over by the big gun is Miriam Armstrong. Miriam became quite famous overnight when she discovered a cure for nicotine-fev- er. She took time out from her latest ex- periment, which is finding a cure for Irish Distemper, to come today. Miriam says that at the rate she's going she will be able to retire in comfort in 50 more years. Hello, Marilyn. The redhead we iust said hello to is Marilyn Madsen. Marilyn is a home ec. teacher at the Brain and Brawn high school. She says that teaching home ec. is more fun than it ever was. One thing that astonishes Marilyn is that she has to use only one recipe to make some- thing, instead of six. Isn't research won- derful? See that fellow over there with the big cigar in one hand. Well, he happens to be George Whoost Van Loo, a big busi- ness executive. He owns a big business called Whoost's Atomic Bubble Gum. George's wife, Julie, works in his office as a secretary because he has a hard time keeping a girl on the iob. They usually find George so attractive that they can't work and he has to fire them. George has interest in quite a few busi- nesses and is sponsoring a cigarette that is longer and smokeless, and which is netting him 520,000 a year. That dark haired girl standing there talking to George is Jackie Thomas. Jackie has become a world famous aviatrix by making a 'round the world trip in her helicopter, the Doodle Bug. Jackie now owns three flying schools of her own. The biggest one is located at Sheffield. Jackie said one thing she doesn't have to worry about while flying is speeding and going around corners. 'Well, here comes Dick Swede Cole our way. Dick is still a bachelor as far as we can find out. Dick has gained quite a name for himself as an aeronautic en- gineer. Dick iust designed a rocket ship which he named the Sheffield Zoom. He says when it reaches the moon the people will know about Sheffield any- way. As our trip around deck is nearly com- plete, we happen to notice one more celebrity. It is the famous soprano, Patsy Hull. Patsy has just finished a show at the Croak and Gargle Opera house in Hollywood. She is now at leisure reclin- ing on a chaise lounge and enjoying a cool refreshing coke. As our trip around the deck is com- pleted we can see the sun sinking in the west. And so ends another day in the lives of the Class of '49. lt is a day that they can well remember and tell their children and grandchildren about in later years.

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-
