Arriving at the station he finds that the train hasn't arrived as yet, so he settles down to wait, when a dusty auto pulls up and out steps Jerome Soderherg. Jerome, who is the undertaking business, greets Slim with a hearty Hello 1“--you big stiff I An eery train whistle sounds in the distance as Slim informs Sod that other class mates are coming on the train. The porter steps out followed by Patricia Wolf. Slim wasn't expecting her on this train so he was a little surprised. What profession had she chosen, oh—yes, modeling, we might have known. Then come the others, here they had traveled all this way and hadn't known Pat was on the same t rain. Amid much chattering and confusion they piled into the surrey and back to the ranch. Upon arriving they looked around to see who was miss- ing------eleven present and six accounted for. That leaves five who haven't been heard from. Now what could have happened to them, as they were pondering this question a little Pord pulled up. It held none other than Lavina Groen and Marjorie Pannkuk, who had driven way out from Iowa. Lavina is studying to be a missionary and Marjorie is a teacher of science at Ames College. Everyone seems a little strange toward one other, but after a little while everyone is back in the good old days. It really was a good turnout for a class reunion. As Slim looked out the window he saw a rusty Chevy which faintly resembled Coach Torgerson's, and itwas turning down the lane. As it came closer he recognized the driver as Kenneth Patterson. He goes out to meet him and— yes—Kenneth bought the car from Coach during depression. We find Kenneth is now in the elevator bus- iness, and he has surprising information as to where Mary Lee Parsons and Helen Rachut are on this day. They are getting married in a double wedding ceremony to a couple of ex-service men. He couldn't remember the names. Slim said that probably accounts for our not hearing from them. Slim was pretty proud of his successful day and he planned to close it with a barbeque in the sun-set. As it was getting late he decided to make the last minute preparations for it. Leaving the fggg, he looked back at his old classmates, who were busily exchanging the news of the past years. Yupll— ----------— --- .-Just like the good old dayslllll CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Burt High School, City of Burt, County of Kossuth, in the state of intoxication, being of unsound mind and failing memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in the manner following: First, to the school, we leave one barrel of soothing syrup to console them over the loss of their beloved seniors.

CLASS HISTORY It was in 1935 that 14 ambitious youngsters, 8 girls and 6 boys to be exact, started our class climbing up the ladder to success. Of the 14 only 4 managed .to struggle the complete 12 years here to- gether. They are Kenneth Patterson, Kenneth Schneider, Marjorie Pannfcuk, and Dale Lockwood. Under the capable direction of Miss Eva Whitney, they began learning the simple facts of school. It was this same year, that our school was introduced to a new music teacher, this being Miss Baars. Highlights of events during the grades, was a grade Operetta, which started many on their way to acting. This first dip into opera left the Music department in the red , fright ning those in authority to the extent that grade Operettas were not tackled again until 1946. While in the grades we added Lavina Groen, Mary Ellen Steward, Beverly Bussie, Helen Rachut, Mary Lee Parsone, and Frances Habeger. The years Dragged slowly by as we found ourselves beginning to grow up, and making preparations for our 8th grade graduation, which was the first of it's kind in the in the history of our school.
