One of our classmates who has risen from ignominity is Mrs. Joe Hayseed, the former Betty Robeson, who has been chosen as the typical mid-western farm wife. Mrs. Hayseed boasts nine, husky, corn-fed offspring. One of our successful classmates in the business world is the executive, Rob- ert R. Burns, Jr., who is the 5th Vice President of the John Deere Co. He urges all farmers to use machinery in all their work. Also seen merrily tripping her way around the grounds, is the gay divorcee, Frances Jones. Rumor has it that her 10th husband will soon lead her to the altar. This will break Tommy Manville's all-time record. Just back from a whaling expedition in the Antarctic, is George old salty Birdzell. His early ambitions for a naval career, which date back to his high school days, have been pretty well fullfilled by now. The new champion of the Indianapolis Speedway is Delmar Berckhan, who recently set three new speed records for the road. No insurance company will risk him a policy because of extreme recklessness. Seen for the first time in eleven years, by any human eye except Mrs. Roose- velt's was Don Montgomery who has been residing in a desert recluse. The form- er swoon crooner took refuge here at that time when his fans threw him over- board for someone else. Chosen as the ideal couple in the United States were Jack Newman and Dorothy Cadden who reside in Dogpatch, Kansas. They have enjoyed 24 years of blissful married life. Still retaining her extreme hate for all men is Georgia Cronbaugh, profess- ional floor scrubber at grocery stores everywhere. Darlene Dappen, well known bookkeeper at all of the Republican National Conventions for the past 20 years, obtained a leave of absence from her book- keeping duties for Cut-throat Grocers, Inc., to attend the Fair. Raymond DePauw, the new Hollywood screen sensation, has just received an- other award-for his new puncture-proof screen door. Robert Williamson arrived here for a rest after the recent publication of his new text, The Williamson Advanced Speller. On parole from the State Reformatory for Women, is Ann Stirniman, no- torious shoplifter. Double guards have been placed around all exhibitions of any value. Adding a bit of military color is Irwin Mitchell. known as the oldest, toughest, Top Kick in the Army. It has been said that he eats buck privates for breakfast. A classmate who has succeeded in the art of finesse is Prof Fred Nelson, T. B. T. D., teacher of Ballet and Toe Dancing. 'Verifying the statement that the Nelsons go in for fine arts is Helen Nelson, mezzo-soprano at the Metropolian Opera House. At the Fair tonight she will at- tempt to hit high D above C so warn your neighbors that there will be no air raid siren tonight. Jim Peak, the new man signed up by the New York Yankees baseball club, has been advanced to the clean-up position-he cleans up the park after the games are over. Jerry Price, famous movie star, has been chosen to play the leading role in the forthcoming Thin Man series. Kay Roth, ex-police matron, attended the Fair with the rest of the inmates from the Old Spinster's Home. - The dignified, honorable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Charles B. Gal- lagher, is vacationing here after his amazing interpretation of the Constitution and deliverance of the verdict in the nation-wide Spillinger case. Thus we conclude our coverage of the Class of '45's convention and in con- clusion we will hear from Mary Ellen Johnston, the only woman tobacco auct- ioneer in history. i Page Ten

There may be only one complaint and that is the lack of feminine members. Our class has many active participants in athletics, band, glee club, Kel Theda, and various other extra curricular activities. This class presented a very successful class play on November 29, 1944, under the direction of Mrs. Mayes. The cast of Almost Summer contained a large group of players who acted their parts to the ut- most of their ability. Page Twelve
