Class Sponsor ♦ ♦ ♦ Clan Motto: We Are Not Defeated Until We Defeat Ourselves Class Colors: Blue and White Class Flower: Blue Carnation (£Ccl44, 'Piofodeccf The time is 1970. The place is Mick's living room. The scene is Mick propped against a pillow in a large easy chair in front of his newly acquired TV. He reaches across and flips the dial. The picture is as per usual, one of falling snow. Suddenly he hears a clear crisp voice, To stop the snow, call Joe, your friendly repairman. Basketball Bill, Alias Bill Meng. The snow clears and your TV commentator, Ted Wilson, is seen reporting the excitement sur- rounding Alice Marie Wohlers on her coming marriage to the Chieftain of the Belgian Congo. Mick bolts upright and changes channels. The picture that now appears on the screen is Vita Heidebrecht leading her 24 piece man jazz band in the secluded night spot, Keg O Nails. Incidentally, she's still playing either the right note at the wrong time or the wrong note at the right time. As the spotlight moves around the room, Lois Covic is seen tilting the pool table. She has come a long way since the time way back in 1956 when site played her first game of pool at Fort Bob. Still frowning, Mick again flips the dial. The picture is of a famous fashion shop in Paris. Model Juanita Paine steps forward wearing a French bikini bathing suit. In the audience sits Darrel Wohlers with his eye sockets bulging. There's been an interruption in the program, across the stage comes Darrel. He's come a long way, that boy. Still gasping, Mick tries another channel. The scene is the beautiful resort in Nova Scotia. Roberta Lembke is seated on the couch with a broken leg, broken arm, and a broken heart. She is looking longingly out the window at the graceful ease with which Dixie Hardy is swooping down the hill on the skis she bought from Stan Schmechel who owns and operates a sporting goods store in Greenland. Mick eases back in his chair and prepares for a night’s relaxation but suddenly Jim Kaiser interrupts the scene by giving the station break. He is advertising good health vitamins, as an example he ushers forth Jay Muma, but wait a minute, there has been some sort of slip up, this picture was taken when Jay was only four. After the station break, we see Marian Clevenger and Mary Waldron, two fine examples of the modern homemakers. They are sponsoring the baby of the year show. The lucky baby is, or babies, we should say, are Aletta D. Hussy's latest set of quads. Mick snuggles further down in his easy chair, everything is going smoothly. The FFA Association's new president, Allen Gray, is presiding. He is applying his personality as well as his education to the growing problem of food shortage. His girl Friday, Marlene Smith, is attracting more attention than he is. It couldn't be because of the bird's nest on her hat, could it? Mrs. Mickelson calls Mick up to bed, but like every red-blooded American boy he begs to be allowed to stay up to listen to the sports cast. Tom Williams, World Olympic winner in pole vaulting, flashes across the screen. Tom's finally made it. Smiling broadly, Mick flips off the TV and staggers up to bed. I, Aletta Dee Schmechel, will my ability to look busy and do nothing to JoElla Kay Wohlers. I, Marian Clevenger, will Marie Roberts my appetite for banana-splits and the ability to be married before graduating, which was willed to me. I, Lois Covic, will my French charm to Doris Covic which I inherited from Elaine Andrews who inherited it from Margie Grimes who inherited it from Nancy Kuska who inherited it from Rachel Fabre. Also, I will her my cheer- leading ability. I, Dixie Hardy, will my long, beautiful legs to Mimi Beckman. I, Marlene Smith, will my ability to blush and get along with the boys to Nadine Doolittle. I, Bill Meng, being of sound mind and good judgement hereby will my nick- name, Basketball Bill, to Billy Atchinson. I, Juanita Paine, will my ability to lure the boys away from other girls to Betty Shumway and my ability to try to keep them to Patty Roberts. I, Darrel Wohlers, will my ability to get as much kick out of school as I do to Gene Drullinger. I, Vita Heidebrecht, will my ability to either play the wrong note at the right time, or the right note at the wrong time to Johnny Helzer, and my appreciation of the finer things in life to Larry Jones. I, Roberta Lembke, will my ability to get engaged to Joyce Bartels before she gets out of school. I, Ted Wilson, will my ability to high jump, what little I have, to Laurel BirdsalL Keep trying. Laurel. You'll make 4' 6 some day. I, Jay Muma, will my cooking ability to Gordon Caparoon. I, Alice Wohlers, will my ability to understand and get along with Mr. Mickel- son to Sonja Hill. I, Tom Williams, will my ability to get along with the lady teachers to Dick Grimes. I, Jim Kaiser, will my ability to get to drivers' training class on time each day and learn a lot to Dale Kilber, and I hope that he learns how to drive better than I did.
