PR OPI-IEC Y ln the year of our Lord 1960, Mr. Heftie,sponsor of the senior class of 1950, was wandering along the streets of one of the now larger cities of eastern Montana, namely Plevna. He found himself in a smalltearoom and decided to have the charming fortune teller, Madame Trisha Uean Stan- hopel peer into her crystal ball and tell him something about the lives of his former senior charges. After seating themselves at a table and gazing intently into the magic sphere many familiar faces began to appear. The first object to appear was a maroon colored Ford mercilessly crushing an innocent passerby fGerald Veeder, successful newspapermanl beneath its wheels. The well-dressed gentleman behind the steering appa- ratus is Lawrence Peterson. Still trying to prove to Coach Luetkens that he can stop in 50 ft. at 40 mph. And how is poor Gerald faring ? He was rushed immediately to the hospital around the corner and is being nursed back to health at the expert hand of Katherine Myer, M. D. Ah! A tranquil scene comes into view. It is the peaceful and success- ful truck farm of Pauline Myer. And who is weeding in the garden? None other than Francis Kirschten. What happened to his forestry plans ? Well, anyway he got into one field of Botany. The next object we see clearly is a quaint street in far away Bagdad, India. Seated on a corner is Frances Malenovsky, her nimble fingers fly- ing over a hand carved flute Qcompliments of Ann Moseley, noted for her fine musical instrumentsl. Frances' profession is charming snakes. Now we go to Miles City, Montana,where a gaudy neon sign flashes the words, Used Cars . The proud owner of this establishment is Albert Bertsch. This is the very lot that gave him his first start in the auto trad- ing business. Next it's a fashionable ladies' millineryshoppe on Fifty Avenue in New York. Co-owners and chief designers are Bobby Loveless and Maxine Lutts. Maxine is busy right now modeling one of Bob's latest creations. And now it's a huge celebration in the eastern part of the country where District Judge, Zeke Lund, is handing out awards to outstanding citizens of the country. One award goes to Shirley Lutts, policewoman,for her part in rounding up a counterfeiting ring,and the other goes to Robert Weeks for his invention of aperpetualmotion machine. One of the prizes given Robert for his fine work was a two-year scholarship to the Science Dept. of Baker High School.

What's this ? It looks like a pair of tonsils and when the mouth around them closes we see that it is Raymond Stevens, whispering baritone, literal- ly laying the bobby-soxers in the aisles. He is making one of his sought- after appearances in the fashionable restaurant of Howard Traweek. We also see another old friend here--it is Betty Mengel, Howard's number one waitress, pianist, and all around helper. Yes boys, She'S Still Single. Here we are at Baker High School again. This time to the Commercial Department. It looks like a fight,and as the smoke clears away we see one of the first year typing students emerge from under a table with a shiner. This blow was inflicted by the teacher, Gerald Neary. Tskl Temper, tem- perl Well, we're still in Montana but this time it's in a lonely rural district. Here we find a little red schoolhouse and the school mai-m vigorously ring- ing the bell is Verle Loran. Verle isn't completely without companionship however, for a few miles down the road is her old side-kick, .Toyce Lam- bert, also teaching school. From Montana to North Dakota, Hettinger to be specific. Here is a cute little cement block bungalow and hanging out clothes is the former Nadine Everson. Edwin is still making blocks and hopes to be in charge of con- struction soon. Bungalows to mansions. This being in Minneapolis and its occupants being Joey and Arlene Steffes. They are now owners of Gambles, Inc. And polishing their floors to shining perfection is Chuck Bean, janitor. Now to beauteous mountain peaks but in opposite corners of the earth, Glenn Wiseman on Mount Everest in India, and Marlene Corey on a moun- tain in Siberia. Both chose to be hermits but just could not seem to agree on climatic conditions.
