 cW4 'Pxofi ecy in 1963 the 1951 Seniors of Albany High School arc located in many different places. We look in on James Price and James Carroll who are conferring on the success of their past years teaching. Carroll is one of the most prominent teachers at the University of Southern California while Price holds a teaching job at the largest school in Los Angeles. As they talk, they recall the days back in old .H.S. and give information on the rest of the class. After serving for five years in the United States Navy, Phillip Xanoni, the most prominent member of the class, has returned and settled down as a happily married man. Delores Roenncburg has become a beautician’s wife, and much of her time is spent helping her husband in his shop which is located at Madison, Wisconsin. Mike Class, the great lover of the class of “’51 is happily married and lives on a farm located east of Albany. He is a great success and one of the most prominent farmers of the community. Daniel Rucf, the nighthawk of the class is happily married and still looks forward to nightlife. Why? He owns one of the most prominent nightclubs in Chicago. Lois Wahl, the ambitious member of the class has become the secretary to the Governor of Wisconsin. Besides holding her job down, she is happily married. On her week-ends Lois goes to Albany to see Barbara Smout. Barbara has become the wife of Albany's newspaper editor. She spends her time helping her husband get the weekly paper out. The final member of the class. Bill Goecks, has become one of the great farmers north of Albany, and spends his leisure time fixing his car as he did most of the time when he was going to school. The members of the class who did not finish their last school year in Albany arc also doing fine. Karl Klossner is settled on a farm southwest of Albany. Janna Briggs is happily married and lives in Beloit. Wisconsin. As James Carrol and James Price finish their discussion they are interrupted by the sound of a buzzer which signifies that James Carroll must go to one of his many classes. As he leaves he w ishes Price the best of luck in his job. 10
