Basketball team is coming. We find the.coach none other than our only Senior Basketball player, Jordan Larson. Seems as Itchy's team has beenpredict- ed to take the State Championship this year. This is the fifth consecutive year, since Itchy started coaching the team. We wish the boys luck, but find that it is soon sleeping time. Since our jet doesn't have a collapsible bed, we try to find a Motel. Near the edge of town on Highway 28, we find just the ideal spot. Behind the desk sits Darlys Labs, another former classmate of ours. We chat with Darlys awhile to find that, though she went on to college she couldn't stay away from her own home town, so she has established her own resort, and has been well satisfied with her choice. In our cabin we find television installed. The program for tonight stars Betty Fogel in her favorite role, A Date With Freddie . Seems the night of the Senior Class Play there were talent scouts in the audience who advised Betty to go on with her career. She has now established quite a name for her- self. Before retiring , our driver remembers that we are short on gas , so he runs into town to have it filled up. At our favorite station, the Dradnats we find Christensen, the owner of it. We learn that Gary is now happily married to a former Junior, and now has a couple additional helpers. Back to our cabins for a good nights sleep, when sitting at the bar of a famous restaurant we see Gary Despiegler. Gary seems morally depressed, so we stop in to have a few words with him. He tells us that he has had very good luck on his farm, and the oil runs like water, so we ask him why so gloomy. After hearing his answer we can well see why. Seems as though Gary would like to get married now, after making his first two million, but he is having a hard time deciding who the lucky girl will be. 'Tis often in life we meet difficult problems, but none quite so impossible as this. After having a good nights rest, we wake very hungry and set out to look for a nice cafe with speedy service. At the corner of Marquette Avenue we find one run by Ardis Johnson, the former Ardis Thomas. After eating, we walk over to the desk of Marion Pitzel who has started her own Information Bureau in Ardis' restaurant. She informs us that Leona Smith is no longer in the city, as she has joined her husband, Keith Krensing, at Heartbreak Ridge. She tells us, too, that Myrtle Kaufman is now married and living in a Suburb of the Twin Cities, with her husband, Ben, and her twins, Bennie and Bonnie. She has heard quite frequently, too, from Bethel Judish. Seems Bethel has her own Night Club, now. She said that she quit going to dances for one year and that way was able to buy her own club for dancing. Since we are in a hurry to find a map to the Airport, we ask Marion about it, and she suggests we try the Public Library. Upon arriving there, we find it is in the exact spot as it was before we left the Valley. In charge is Pat Hess, a great help to his wife, the regular librarian, but who is ill today. He has taken over our problem and quickly solved it for us by finding just the map we need. Enroute to the Airport we pass several hundred acres of the new project which has been established by Harry Ziemer and his cousin, Shirley Ziemer, now Mrs. Jim Metz. They gained a fortune when all their relatives suddenly passed away. And, deciding not to split up, they turned the entire estate into a new project in the development of agriculture. Arriving at the airport just in time, we buy our tickets and hasten to catch the plane. The stewardess, Elaine Pistorius, assists in finding our seats and fastens our safety belts just before the plane leaves the ground. We are assured of a pleasant journey home with such a friendly and accommodating hostess. It has surely been a pleasant visit, and our only wish is that it could happen more often but since that is impossible, we are very glad we have seen, or learned of all our former graduating classmates.

Senior Prophecy One of the finest desires in our lives has been to visit our home town and see the dear old school, which now stands as a memorium to the old days. It has been fenced in, as was Sam Brown's Memorial Park, when we lived in the tiny city of Browns Valley. It has grown quite a bit in the last ten years, and has now became a thriving metropolis. It will be lots of fun seeing all the new building establishments and new educational functions. We have three days, and in our jet, we are driving near the edge of the city when we pass an auto- mobile manufacturing company. Since we have some spare time we stop in, to see seated at the desk with his feet upon it, Don Goodhart, a former class- mate of ours, better known as Dangerous Don . Seems that Don has given up his former ambition of running a greenhouse to raise Plants, and has invented a new type jet. It has a cruising speed of 375 M.P.H. and at 500 M.P.H. the automatic wings unfold and it takes off like an airplane. So far the invention has been working pretty good, and Don has received only a fractured skull, when the car took off and the wings forgot to open. Also near the edge of the city is an automobile plant erected by three of our former classmates. They have combined the Ford and the 'he roiet cars making a new model called the Chevord . Blair Piechowski, head of the Ford Corp., and Jack Baer , head of the Chev. Corp., and their head mechanic , David Peickert, all have favorable predictions for their car, as it is undentable, un- smashable, and uncrashable, a suitable car for women drivers. But they have only one disappointment as yet they haven't been able to get it to run. While we are at this part of town, let's take a little time off for entertain- ment. There is a hot-rod race at the track this afternoon, and locking at the racing form, who do we see in car number one, in number one position to win the great purse of $5,000,000, but our friend Rodey Ewald. In the past races, he has kept his wife on needles and pins, as he hasn't succeeded in winning a race without wrapping his car around the fence posts. He hasn't received one fatal injury thus far, however,but anyone knowing Rodey before he took up professional racing is not the least bit surprised! It's time now for eating, so since we have had an invitation from Shirley Westman.we drive out to her mansion on the head of Lake Traverse. But be- fore our meal she shows us her game room. Her trophies are quite numerous -- all mounted and hung on the walls. Some of the nicer mounts are Walter, Bob, George, and Al. Congratulations on your collection, Shirley! But we just remembered an important appointment -- so guess we won't have much time for eating. Guess we'll stop in at the Drug Store for some indigestion pills on the way down Madison Avenue. Seems as Mike Holland has done quite well since com- pleting his course of Pharmacy in college. He has taken over the Rexall Drug Chain Stores and with the help of his influencial wife, the former Shirley Schiefelbein, he has progressed quite rapidly. Driving thru the city we are struck by a black Dodge, driven by Mrs. Rich- ard Nelson, better known to us as Marlys Plant. Her husband, Dick, who is busy on his thousand acre farm, has made the mistake of letting Marlys drive the car. One of our passengers has been rather seriously injured, so we rush him to the 79th General Hospital; and find in charge, another classmate of ours, Arlyne Piechowski. Arlyne has completed her college education, and having returned from her trip around the world, has a thriving career as head of the hospital in the Valley. After our patient has been repaired we decide to have a small item cover- ing the accident put in the leading newspaper, still the famous Valley News. The editor of this paper is Susan Phelon, our own little school editor. Suzie has considered matrimony several times but has decided she would rather live in Browns Valley, with her newspaper, than in Clinton, Wheaton, or Wilmont. After talking it over, we decide to take a look at the new high school now that we are near it. We drop in at the Gymnasium and see how this year's
