Senior Prophecy Charlie Caul—Peace talks have been going on in Korea for the past ten years. In Pres Ike’s speech he stated he thought it was time to send someone over there who could gel something done. Ont of his many friends he selected none other than the four star gen- eral. Charles Caul. Today we are happy to state that our country is on peace loving terms with Russia. Joan Cooper—Is now a telegraph operator in Hollywood and she spends most of her time sending telegrams announcing the mar- riages and divorces of the Hollywood stars. We received a letter from her yesterday say- ing Elizabeth Taylor is getting married for the 7th time. Don Ekstrom—After Prof. Baby Face Ekstrom of Purdue is tired of trying to teach city slickers what he knows about cattle, he wiil return to a little ranch he owns and with the help of Donna, his dear bride, he will raise hundreds of head of cattle. Mona Goodwin—When she is not busy taking care of her three sets of twins, she is playing concerts in Symphony Hall. If you should hear a few extra claps at the end of the concert, it’s just Dick and the kids on the front row. Dick Harper—After working five years in a pool hall and keeping out of the way of girls. Dick has finally settled down as the head judge of the Miss America Contest, and he says, quote, I never knew a job could be so interesting.” Joan Honn—is now living in Hollywood where she shares her eighteen room home with Mary Riegle and Joan Cooper. Due to her the styles have changed around Republic Pictures Studios. Joan has signed a 10 year contract to design the garments of Harvey, the rabbit; Francis, the talking mule; Trigger, the smartest horse in the movies; along with a few other stars. Marilyn Hood—In case your furniture is worn out and has a lack of color, just take it to Hood’s Upholstering Shop. When she sends it back, it looks just as it did before you sent it. So don't forget — that’s Hood’1» Upholstering Shop on Southwest Blvd. in Brook. Indiana, or phone Kackleberry 123. ou always get your money’s worth. Bob Murfitt—For a few years now Bob has been studying the stars and planets and at the same time building a rocket to fly to Mars. He has finally found all there is to know about the location of Mars, and if he can get the consent of Dear Ruth”, he will take off next summer on his trip and, of course, we all wish him luck and success. Mary Riegle—Just in case you wonder who gave you the wrong number, don’t be alarm- ed ; it s none other than Mary Riegle. Mary (whose name is now Mrs. Miller) has ad- vanced from a Brook operator to one of Hollywood’s. Now she gets all the gossip before Louella Parsons does. Esther Standish—After working for three years at a department store in Rensselaer, Indiana, she is now head clerk in a depart- ment store in Columbia, South Carolina, and making plenty of money. Bob Tanksley—Bob is now a professor at Purdue University but he spends most of his time in his new laboratory trying to discover the Elixir of Youth he was looking for so hard when he was a Senior. Janice Whaley—When Janice was still in school, she started working as a typist in the Brook Community Bank. But today she has replaced Harry Lawrence as the president. You probably wonder who is taking care of the home, why Dutch, of course. By con- stantly taking care of the home, he has gained the title of “Mr. Homemaker of 1962.” Bob Wilson—If you can remember back to the night of March 21. 1952, a young man appeared in the T. V. Talent show in the huge gym of the Brook School. If you re- member rightly and I’m sure you do he gave a performance similar to that of the great Caruso. Today he is living in the great city of New York. Oh. no, he is not competing with Caruso but is his page boy. 18—
