Our Sophonorc year ’. as sponsored by Mrs. Wells, and during the Spring of that year Patsy Wisch and Earl Oswald left us and one new member joined our class, namely Joseph Shields. We then began looking forward to our Junior and'Senior years. Class officers for our Junior year were: President, Gene Martin Vice-president, Dorothy Schlickbernd, Secretary, Irvin Schlick- bernd, and Treasurer, Ramona Ayres. With Mrs. Hasebroock a3 our sponsor in our Junior year we presented the play Aunt Tillio Goes to Town. Also under her supervision, and with her assistance and guidance we planned the Junior-Senior banquet for that year. The date of the play-wasNo- vember 20, and the banruet was held on April 25, 1945. In the Fall of 1946 there wore eight Seniors. The officers chosen for that year were: President, Dorothy Schlickbernd, Vice- president, Gene Martin, Secretary, Leo King, and Treasurer,francos Spenner. Since it eas to be our last year we looked forward to cramming into this year all of the fun that we possibly could. We did a pretty good job of it too. At least our teachers tell u. us so. We presented the Senior play, The Old Hone Town on April 15 to a full house. We are proud to record that it turned out ',rery successfully. Everyone in the Senior class had a part in it, and just for good measure we borrowed Lloyd Nellor from the Sophomore class as we lacked one character, and he certainly turned out to begone alright. Then came the-day ito which every el :ss looks forward with great anticipation, (as well as the day the teachers wish had never been invented ) yes, you guessed it. Sneak Day. At the crack of dawn, on Friday, April 19, the Seniors, and their sponsor, Mr Lyman stealthily crept from their homes, and journeyed to Lincoln. Several places of interest vrere visited there,•including Capitol Beach, the Capitol building, the Pennitentiary, and a Li;.se”m. We found all of this very educational, but decided that it'was time for a little relaxation so we found pleasure in a movie, and later some rollerskating, tie returned home, very tired that nignt. We look back with a. little sadness as vre prepare to take the last steps to end our HIGH SCHOOL D YS. We have had a lot of fun, and have learned a great deal, .ind with our graduation . wc . will take our places in a new world. Wc hope that it vail be as land as the one that we arc leaving.

CLASS PROPHECY OF 1947 New York City, New York Twenty fifth Avenue May 22, 1957 ' Dear Mrs. 'Jells: I am sure that you will be surprised to hear from me, but- I have so much to tell you, that I am simply bubbling over. • And because I do not want to forget to tell you a single important event, I am writing to you right away, while everything is fresh in my memory. You know the old saying There are no friends like the old friend 1 One never ouite realizes how true that'is until they have been away from their old friends for a time, and then ouite by accideit meet up with them again. This was my experience very recently. As you know, my husband is a pilot for Pan American Airways, and I spend much of my time traveling with him. It is his responsibility to experiment with • all of the new inventions, to determine whether or not they waH add to the comfort of the traveling public. He likes his work very much, and needless to say, so do I. A very delightful series of events began a couple of weeks ago. My husband was flying to the west coast, so I took advantage of the opportunity to visit the Hollywood Breakfast Club,(naturally I wore my funniest hat). I stayed for the following broadcast, which was Two-gun Tony and his rootin', tootin' orchestra star- ring Alma Falsken as the leading lady. She has made a great hit in the 'western ’rorld. After visiting some of the outstanding attractions of Hollywood my husband received a call from Lincoln, Nebr. to make a rush flight bringing Nebraska's distinguished Congresswoman to the Governor, I decided to go along, not that I don't trust my hus- baTid, but for the enjoyment I would receive talking to such a distinguished person. 'Tho should it be, but Ramona Ayres. You remember her, I am sure. She wa3 always up on everything in Government Class, and as I remember, put the rest of us to shaie by her knowledge of Government. It's no surprise to me that die became famous in,her chosen field. The highlights of our con- ' versation involved some of the legislative works that take pLace
