Audrey Owens is a gym class teacher in Barneveld and we hear she made a big hit with the guys at the University and is still trying to decide which one it will be. Shirley Ash is a secretary in Madison. She is married and her husband is also employed in Madison. Fred Segebrecht has finished a short course in Ag. at the University and is now married and running a farm of his own.

CLASS PROPHECY It was a very nice, sunny May 21, 1964, and I was going to work at the corner of Fifth and Main Street. A Newsboy came up to me and asked me if 1 wouldn't like to buy a paper. This is an extra special edition he said. It has a special article written in it by the Barneveld Daily Drovers Journal Pick-up man about the Senior Class of 1954. When I heard this, I immediately bought one and started to read the article. This is what it said: Tom Clerkin is married and living down at Belleville where he is head Basketball Coach at the high school. He said he had a fine bunch of boys and the way the season was going he thought they would be playing in the State Tournament. Harvey Theobald is running the farm with his dad and still trying to make it from Barneveld to Riley to pick up Audrey in record time. He says he likes to go to dances at Club 18. Mary Ann Ryan is marr- ied and living on a farm down in Jonesvalley just above the Jonesvalley School Mary Ann said it didn't seem like home without the patter of little feet around the house, so Tom bought her a little pup. Tom Duesler is backfield coach of the Los Angeles Rams football team. He flies back to Barneveld on week ends and while there he spends much of his time on the outskirts of Barneveld. Jerry Blaser and Ronald Bunbury are the co-owners of Club 18, Club 14, and Club 51 in Wisconsin and now they have left for Las Vegas, Nevada, to invest some of their savings and drum up a little more business. Gerald Cork is now Captain Cork in the Air Na- tional Guard. He is trying awful hard to get a few more recruits for the Food Service Department. He says he gets a kick out of teaching the boys how to peel potatoes. Frank Erickson is farming down by Black Earth. He has to batch it right now but he says it won’t be long now until he has a housekeeper. Helen Zepplin has continued to keep on with music and she is now teach- ing some of the concert players a few tricks. Reginald Brattlie is president of the First National Bank in Madison and really handling the money. Mar- greth Hosking is in Chicago where she is a cover girl for Woman's Home Companion and a model for Sears Roebuck. Douglas Carden has left for Africa with his private airplane where he plans to do elephant hunting Shir- ley Moyer is working for the ROSCO Appliances Company in Madison and she is still trying to get that guy from Arena. Tom Frame is in Alaska where he is a fur trapper and a geat bear hunger. Donna Walstead is married and living on an Arneson farm south of Barn- eveld Lucille Peterson is working in Madison at Thorpe Financing Company but she still has much time for dancing and visits from Hollandale. Mary En- loe now lives on a neat little farm at Blue Mounds. There were several small children playing in the yard '■he day the pick-up man was there so it looks like Mary and her husband will have plenty of help in the future. Anna Mae Arndt is at home, still qoing with that guy from Arena. She is seriously thinking about making her permanent residence there. Dale Olson is running his dad's farm down at Walnut Hollow. He just can t seem to find a su table housekeeper though. Bill Brennan is teaching Chemistry at Mt. Hor- eb now and a few of the students were giving him a rough time (Like he used to do at Barneveld) Helen Meyer is working in Madison at the Tenny Building and still looking for that certain guy.
