enior Class Prophet: fl! We are now in the year 1976. As we gaze intently into the crystal ball, we see Dave Axness teaching English and directing girls' chorus at 'ole Arcadia High. We always knew Jerome Bambenek had a yen for farming, and he has proved it by being elected the out- standing farmcr of the year, 1976, and he has six little Olivers. Lucy Berg was always normal, thus she accepted a position to keep order in the Sense house. Dick Berger's talent in playing the piano has fin- ally been discovered, and Dick has managed to take all the swoomng housewives away fron Liberace. His all-conference acconiplislgincnt has led George Bohrnstedt to become successful in football. He is row carrying water for the Green Bay Packers. I wonder why the crystal ball is getting so cloudy? Ah, it is again becoming clear, and we find Leigh Borgwardt on the road, weary, worn and tired, looking for a fellow Democrat. Melvin Cornero is now teaching Christmas Car- ols in the University of China. What's this I see? Unbelievable! Jerry Davis is still in the commercial room at RKD trying to get the '56 annual out on time. One can talk for many horns on a subject and yet some people simply don't understand. Take Colleen Draeger, for instance, one would think that with all the talk about racial segregation twenty years ago, a per- son as bright as Colleen would have learned her lesson, but instead we find she has married into the i'Kaste system. . Sonia Erickson has 21 g-and job on the radio and it's recorded that she's ha sensation. No doubt-her job is screaming and giggling on Inner Sanctum. After m.any years of experimentation, Edward Gandera has finally come through with the world championship for growing the least amount of corn an acre-two cobs! Janice George is nursing Whistlers' Mother, who finally went off her rocker. And isn't Red Glowcheski in a profitable business? He bought out a pop factory in La Crosse .after only two years of sampling that beverage. . lrVe see Marvin Grotjahn is a manager of a woolen mill. He's really mha warming business, that specializes in Grotjahn's long-johns! Ronnie Guenther is now making use of his ability to play trombone: in fact, he plays every night--the little ones enjoy it so. Clarice. Hanson, after twenty years, is still scholas- tically inclined, she is teaching Ding Dong School on an hour program every morning. VVe see Lilah Hanson has finally Donned the name of Pierzina. Good news, girlsg Barber Dave Herrmann has finally managed to shave off Russell White's famous goatee. Delores Jaszewski has changed her namejno one could ever spell it anyway, and she says George is much simpler. Doris Jensen, who always was determined to get what she wanted, is still trying to get Rich . . . Cand I do11't mean moneyjl Richard Jereczek has found a very lucrative pro- fession by becoming a mortician. His services are so in demand you must make an appointment at least two weeks in advance. On the White House lawn, we find Butch Kamla playing golf with President Borgwardt. We see Leigh finally found a fellow Democrat! We find Eddie Kamrowski, as an understudy of Charles Atlas, sweeping first place in the ten-pound bar bell division in a weight lifting contest. The recent gum chewing marathon held'in Pine Creek was won by Anna Konkel--who received her training in high school, Phyllis Kreher is making a hit recording of Sixteen Kats . What did she get but thirty-two kit- tens and is sending them to Commodore Krause for mascots. After teaching Girls' Phy. Ed. and cheerleading in Black River Falls for twenty years, Bob Luethi has been forced to return to Arcadia because of severe at- tacks of rhuematism. Oh l-and here I see that Marlys Meistad is still up to her old pranks-flirting! D-onixe Moe is still so quiet, we don't know what's become of her. .Rosalie Motszko has replaced Marjorie Main as Ma Kettle and has her own TV program. She has adopted the stage name of Ritzy Rosie O' Motzy . Mary Jane Myers is busy in her kitchen preparing dinner for I2 little Wolfes. Donnie Pape is busily engaged in the mining indus- try and he takes his little Pyk -ah-to work every morning. Right after high school, Jo Ann Pronschinske obtained her one desire in life. And if you let your mind drop back 20 years, you will remember that her desire was also a song hit-that is, A Band of Gold . Mark Pronschinske has become a very famous veterinarian. This is because he has developed a new formula to make cows give chocolate milk. A girl very happy in her role as a farmer's wife is

Lois Pronschinske. Elaine Radomski is really in a swinging business. She sells her famous product from door to door-yup, you guessed it-she sells yo yo's! For the past 20 years Roseaun Rebhahn has been taking it very easy. You see, she never quite recovered from 4-minute speeches. Mary Rippley and Clarice Schmidtknecht are fighting for a shorter work week. Now girls, don't you know that being a housewife is a full-time Job?A Girls, just between me and you, we always knew Tom Reuter was good looking in high school, but now he's being televised, yes he is. He is advertising Toni Home Permanents on the Colgate hour. We find Robert Rotering is still living in Arcadia, but we can't figure that out. Arcadia is supposed to be the quietest town in Wisconsin. After four years of valuable experience under Mr. Pavlicin in shop, Roger Rotering is now an A-1 con- tractor, busy at work rounding off ends of toothpicks. Every morning Dorothy Ryan packs her lunch, shoulders her gun and goes hunting. What does she hunt? Why, Moose, of course! Mary Schlesser has become the richest woman in the world because she wrote a popular book called A Quick Way to Catch a Man, in Just 34 Different Les- sons. Sharon Schultz has a job on TV. It amounts to only one thing-opening doors on International Har- vester refrigerators. She only makes a total of 529.95 a week, but she feels that her greatest award is in being able to show off the frozen roosters grown on her broiler farm. I see here that Gaylord Severson never stopped growing, and it seems that he grew so tall that Paul Bunyan has only to hide his face in shame. The bakery has a new electrician. We find Tom Slaby putting currants in the buns. We girls really owe Bob Steffenson a vote of thanks, as he, and only he, is responsible for our curlier and prettier waves with his new patented product, the Robbie Pins. Deloris Schlesser has just graduated from Vassar, where she was valedlctorian. We see Romona Thomas in the English room, in a chair next to hubby, Roger. It seems that she couldn't wake him up, so she went to sleep, also. Janet Thomas now has complete charge of the parking meters on Schank's road. We hear she was selected for this duty because of her many connections with the site. Buddy Scow is still thinking about having his graduation pictures taken. We see busy Doris Waletzke filing all the New York Times for Miss Gorton. It seems that so many accumulated these past 20 years that she needed help putting them away. Gary Waters, who always liked water guns in high school, has invented a new anti-gravity water gun that is used extensively on the moon. We find Eugene Weaver, who also made himself quite famous in his senior year in high school by play- ing football, is now helping George carry that heavy old water bucket. After 20 years we still find Roger Weaver asleep in the English room. It seems that Miss Gorton didn't like to see him suffer in that chair any longer, so she provided him with a couch and Roger just simply for- got to wake up. Are you trying to outdo Rip Van Winkle, Rog? Janice Weltzien, who still loves to argue, is trying to cheat her echo and her hubby, Gordon, out of th. last word. We all remember Russell White as a good singer, and he has proved He is now taking singing lessons at the famous Chinese Music School-Sing-Sing. Thus we, the undersigned, have finally completed the list and the previously read fiction is as accurate and as complete as possible. If, forigome odd reason, the future doesn't turn out as we have planned it, we solemnly confess, somebody goofed! A' Chairman-Marlys Meistad Phyllis- Kreher George 'Bbhrnstedt Mark Pronschinske
