Turning ahead the hands of time a score of years, we find the members of the Class of 47 well scattered throughout the ole earth. Their many interest and talents have brought all of them success in some way or another. RAYMOND DAWSON, better known as DIZ , is a big time tobacco auctioneer in Kentucky. —L. S. M. F. T.— MARILYN NOVITNY, after spending a few years in Wyoming, has just opened a snazzy cafe in Miami. Two members of our class have made their name known to the city of New York. TRACY CLARK is the newly elected District Attorney while STANLEY GOODMAN, with two spectacular stage hits, has become one of the most eligible bachelors in the social set. DEAN SCHACK, always a farmer at heart, has turned his scientific skill to perfecting an atomic fountain pen that has no ball bearing point. The adventurous LA VERN DICKENSON is now roaming the seven seas as the captain of a tramp steamer. DAYMOND FRANCISCO, always one of the hardest working students in S. E. H. S., is now vice president in charge of liquid assests in the St. Edward Bank—filling up inkwells. DALE WHEELER, who always dreamed of seeing the world, never got farther way from home than Bradish where he is an auto mechanic and farmer. DOROTHY BUCK, using her ability at handling people, is employed in the complaint department at Macy's. VELMA CURTIS, who we never thought would settle down, is now a plumber's wife enjoying life at its best in Crete, Nebraska. But here is one character of the ole class of '47 that hasn't changed for we find JEANNE VOICHAHOSKE on her way to Genoa to a dance—(as usual.) EUNA LEE WILLIAMS has one of the most interesting occupations of any member of the former class for she is now the official selector of prizes for Cracker jack boxes. WAYNE MILBURN'S steadfast determination has been rewarded for he finally invented non-skid peanut butter for people with false teeth. MARY FORCE, a gay and likable girl back in S. E. H. S., has been pratic-cally living in court rooms since she has been divorced three times and married on four occasions. Busy as a beaver is BILLY COOPER. As head camera man at R. K.

Happening to drop down into the Beatrice community we find DONNA NELSON, housewife of the coach in the local school. LARRAINE DAVIDSON, is teaching future beauty operators in Omaha at her beauty salon. A far cry from the beauty business is operating a. ranch in Montana, but that is where we find RAMONA FUSSELMAN and her husband. LOIS REARDON chose a career to marriage and became a model for Glamour Magazine. ROBERT McCARTY, who was always the executive type, is now vice-president of a printing company which recently published LEONA APPLE'S new book on etiquette.

On the fateful day of September 4, 1945, a new squad of green freshmen entered S. E. H. S. After being initiated they were no longer green but just plain freshman. After nine months of struggle they received their report cards and were now promoted to sophomores. After another nine months of easier struggle, they then became what they are at present—juniors. As their first project, they showed their ability in dramatics by presenting their junior class play, Introducing Susan. As their second activity, the juniors indulged in a good old fashioned hayride and this event took place on the new highway from St. Edward to Genoa. As tradition would have it, they put on in honor of the seniors, a very enchanting and breath-taking show, Fairyland Revue. A very large crowd gathered and saw the greatest event of the year. As a last chance to show their friendliness and appreciation, they gave a banquet and prom on May 6. Hats off to a great classll! MOTTO: FLOWER: COLORS: THE HIGHER WE RISE, THE BROADER THE VIEW.
