Class Poem A few lines of prophecy, A few lines of wit, All is possible and Some could be it. Alan Bilstad, a smart and feminine man, Always doing the best that he can, His ability great and foresight strong, How can he ever go wrong? Bob Green whom everyone knows, Is often seen at burlesque shows, His ambition is to be a teacher, After he and Joan Warren have seen the Preacher Edwin Larson, a farmer was he, Until he became an eligible draftee. His way with the girls, this is putting it mild, His smile and charm just drives them wild. Joan Dyvig who lives up a long lane, Is trying for Bilstad and not in vain. Pert little nose, cheeks so fair, Deep blue eyes and dark brown hair. Gene Lowry is singing on A. B. C. Working for his sponsor D. U. Z. Up in the morning, bright and gay, He serenades his fans all through the day. Joanne Frederickson is now owner of a ranch. Herding the cattle whenever there's a chance. Flirting with cowboys, but most of all, Waiting for a guy back home, named Paul.

David Peterson after graduation went directly to the Army to fight for his coun- try like many of the rest of us did. Getting out of service a few years back he started his dairy farm which now takes in about 640 acres. He raises strictly Holsteins the same as his Dad was doing a few years back and has been awarded many prizes for high production and so on. David and his wife have just gotten back from their honeymoon in Texas and he will continue his dairy farming as before. They are driving up now in a new big black Cadillac, being a little late because of having a lot of chores to do. The last ones to appear are Mr. and Mrs. Alan Bilstad, Mrs. Bilstad was the former Joan Dyvig. They came up in a blue '38 Chevrolet with white side walls, kids and all the other accessories. Upon leaving school at graduation Alan went to Arizona and started raising chickens before the Army got him, but he saved up plenty of money to get married after the war and raise his family of two boys and two girls. Very charming children they are too. Look just like a chip off the old block. Joan went to college and took up teaching to earn some money for the bride to be. Now Alan is home and instead of raising chickens he now raises cattle, kids and farms, 260 acres. - Alan Bilstad Paul Kehoe David Peterson

David Peterson who specializes in planes, ls working for the government to help make it rain Happy with his work, his family and wife, He's a guy who gets a lot out of life. Evelyn Hanson who was a nurse, Is now married to David, for better or worse. Lives on a farm, with her family of nine, Milking the cows and doing just fine. Don Weinzetl who used to toil the land, Has now become the leader of a national band. Playing away, at all times of the day, With plenty of friends and plenty of pay. Phyllis Nelson, a little bit shy, Is silently chased by many a guy, With her winning ways and sweet finesse, She'1l catch one, too, that's our guess. Paul Kehoe is still trying to raise corn, Staying in the neighborhood where he was born. Only a farmer's life I'l1 lead. Says Paul, as he brings the pigs their feed. The paper wads and rubber bands, Have now passed from our hands. With our school days now complete, We must stand on our own two feet. Phyllis Nelson Eugene Lowry
