SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY While visiting in my old home town last week, I looked up all of my former classmates, It was quite surprising to learn of their new positions in life. Let me tell you about them. Due to the death of the late Charles Atlas, Darold Fitz has taken over his position, Perhaps you have seen his picture in magazines. Drop a card in the mail tomorrow for your muscle building instruction book. Every night I tune in to the Lucky Strike Program only hear Charlotte Bullock who has taken the place of F. E. Boone as auctioneer. She has gained world wide publicity as being the only woman auctioneer. Do you students remember the letter posted on the bulletin board? jean Derry took it to heart and went to Washington, D, C. to work for the F. B. I, She has proved herself satisfactory for she has taken the place of Miss Miller on the District Attorney Program. ljust heard the other day that Joanne Finley was married, and to Roger Davis of Perry, They are living on a farm near here and from all appearances seem to be very happy. A few weeks ago when I was visiting my aunt in Jamaica I met my former classmate Lois Grassmeier. She informed me she was teaching history and English in the high school there. We had a merry little chat about old times in high school. As I was looking through a newspaper the other day I came across an article about the famous orchestra leader, Herman Peabody, and his wife, who is the former Norma Luxford and also my classmate in school. I was astonished by the headlines in the Des Moines Tribune, Sally Rand has a new performer . It seemed an interesting topic so I continued reading only to find that jo Radebaugh has filled the position. And last but not least I must tell you about jim jackson. He is doing slightly different work than I expected. He is one of those traveling salesmen. I-Ie's been married for a couple of years to janet Safely. Of course, that's not so surprising-'after all he wasn't a wolf in high school for nothing.
