PROPHECY Of all these words which are now going to be said, we do not know which of them will be true - if any; but to give you an idea this is what we might do: First we see La Verne Blohm, who had always planned to be a chemistry teacher, Now with four children and married to a preacher. Next comes Della Bostic, better known as Rocky, Who has lost quite a few pounds and is now the world’s most fam- ous jocky. Bryce Clark, in his forestry class, was neither the best nor the poorest. Is now married to Lula and lives up in the forest. Now there is Jo Ann Clark who took journalism so she could write with a pen, But ended up out on the farm with dear little Glenn. Then there is Don Delmonico, the boy we thought so dear, Is having a jolly old time down in Duffys slinging beer. Ray Dietz, whose red hair always brought him fame. Is now shoveling coal on a choo--choo train. Next comes Ralph Foust who wanted to become a poet some day, Who is now a farmer, guess something changed his mind, could it have been Clara Mae ? Henry Geary’s name is now “Bachelor Hank’’, He is working like mad down in the Bridger Bank. In football Cliff Graham won high honors and great fame, He just won another game for Notre Dame. Bob Jurovich, famous for his muscles, Is still up to his old tricks, chasing bustles. Next we come to our missionary, Hermina Laber, Who iS over in China trying to be a good neighbor. Carol Loyning’s love for Jim never did fade. But we still don’t see how she turned out an old maid. Don Preuninger is still single and has a new Dodge, All we can say is “Look out Red Lodge.” George Preuninger has three sons and thinks it’s nifty, But is having a hard time teaching them to be thrifty. Dee (Pall Mall) Rowley, the classes’ worst pest, Is gaining honors at the Golden Horseshoe Burlesque. Betty Ryan, an old-maid planned to be, Has been married thrice and is only twenty-three. Chester Schwend went to college and stayed at Jumbo Hall, And is now All-American in football. Jack Teeples became a rancher, one of the best, Now he is known throughout the whole darn west. Henry Vanderloos became a speaker great, And is now the biggest politician in the states. Fred Wennemar, on the mound for Clevland, replaces Feller, Maybe that’s why they are always in the cellar. Last, but not least, there is Lillian Zier, who is only fifteen, She and Hersh were happily married the last time she was seen.

HERMINA LABER Hermina came to Bridger while in the 7th grade. She has been a very good student and in life she should be very successful. Being asked what she will do or be after graduation she replied, “Just a woman” butit is rumored she wished to be a housewife. Here’s your chance, boys! ! BOB JUROVICH What an athlete is lanky, joyful, Bob. A great guy in football and a better guy in basket- ball. At first glance at this masculine figure, you’d never guess that Bob would want to be a history teacher. He really knows what goes on in this wide world so we know he ’ll succeed. On the side, he wants to coach high school sports. Here’s luck to you, Bob. BRYCE CLARK Bryce lived in Bridger all of his “explo- sive” life. He was the class crooner, a good man to have on any basketball team, and a woman hater until he reached his Junior year and then - WOW! ! Bryce, we know you can do just about anything, so whether you be a crooner, athlete or explorer, we know you’ll reach the top. BETTY RYAN I don’t know if Betty wants to be a flower grower or justgo into the field of horticulture in general, but I do know that she will be one of the best horticulturists in the country. She’s been a very good basketball manager of the girls’ teams for three years and, like most of the seniors, has taken part in a lot of extra activities. Everyone enjoyed her original Senior Interviews in the “SCOUT” and right now Betty, we’re saying “So long and we’ll be rooting for you.”
