foreign land. Here a troop of American soldiers are stranded, many wounded and homesick. In command of this troop I see General Gene Nelson quite calm and collected reading up on his latest edition of How to Get to Mars in Three Easy Lessons as Lieutenant Joyce Giedt is busy giving shots, smiling and encouraging them. Marlys Lindsay, very capable in her nurses uniform is aiding a group of men just removed from the -“scue plane piloted by Arlen Schulz, an ace of many years service. In'addition to their other troubles, they are having difficulty getting their airplane repaired as the mechanic, Sergeant Ronald Anderson has been wounded.everything has turned out for the best.... The plane has been reloaded and now they are all safely flying to-ards the United States..In the states abain the crystal rests on the home of the former Lois Pieclowski at Fai-mont North Dakota where a big social event in honor of Miss Irene Hanson is in full v swing. Miss Hanlon has just returned from Pa-i? -he e she has completed her final course of schooling and now is preparing to set up her own hair salon specializing in the latest styles.As Lois turns her new 31 inch screen television set I can see the fans are in for a big surprise. The years have put many wrinkles on the face of the famous comedian, Groucho Markx and now his program portrays a new face. As Smiley Westbrock leaves the air, and his fans with aching sides he has taken his first step toward success in the entertainment world. Before the par$y breaks up, Ronny Witte, the manufacturer of Ronnies Ice Cream and Dairy Products delivers the refreshments....... My crystal ball has grown very dim, my friends, but before we depart it still has to say there is much happiness, good fortune and good health in store for the graduating class of 1955. LAST WILL We, the Senior Class of 1955, being of sound mind and sounder body, do hereby declare this document, our last will and testament. ARTICLE I Our first benefactor, Glenn Ewald, after scrutinizing Gale Despeiglar, wills Tuke his own charming, wide-eyed personality......on condition that Tuke never, never soil the wings or tarnish the halo that accompany Glenn's beouest. ARTICLE II Geraldine Hein, upon deciding to make the supreme sacrifice, is going to reveal to Blancle Harrington her exclusive man- catching formula. This one, too has a condition, Blanche must promise to never reveal it to another living soul. It's just to potent. ARTICLE III Duane Labs is to be the recipient of Bill Lehrke's most cherished possession, his job in the dance band. The money and girls Bill has accumulated do not go with this, however. Duane will just have to acquire them on his own. ARTICLE IV Jim Moeller, observing that Theresa Roerig is too well adjusted to school, is planning to pass on his hatred of it to her to see how miserable she can make it for the rest of us. (Jim certainly made use of this talent during his stay here.) ARTICLE V Gene Nelson, another Senior with talent to spare, has decided to keep it in the family. So to his beloved brother, Gary, goes his ability to talk fast and furious on any and all subj- ects. Let's hope Gary doesn't develop a permanent case of laryngitis from over use of this ability. ARTICLE VI To Donna Opsal, Helen King wishes to leave a small portion of her brain so Donna needn't have such a tussle with History in the future. 'Ne've asked Helen to hang on to all her forget- fullness which so nearly drove us mad.
