John VanWichen has taken over his father's farm and has decided to raise just weeds. It's easier, so he says. He's got another income though, he sells blotters to the Ink Spots . Donna Ballantyne, Gina's friend, has always liked colonial houses, so she is in her glory now, someone has just given her a job as a slave, down in the Deep South. Bob O'Neil has just been promoted to chief broom pusher for the Choteau Food Store. He's really advancing in this world. Edith Anderson, or Edith Hanson, was just complaining a while ago that she has to buy a new wardrobe every other month, as they always get splattered with oil. They only own five oil wells now, one for each of their kids. Dale Johnson, who is the leader of the Wierd Music band, is now married to the former Sharon George. They have one adopted child, just like Dale wanted, and six children of their own, just like Dale didn't want. Botella Lorenzen, who is now a great swimming champ, is now in training to swim over to England, she figures she'd save quite a bit of money that way. Bob Reiquam, who always wanted to work on a newspaper, is now editor-in- chief of the COLLINS CALL., a newspaper that is put out yearly. That is, if they have enough news to fill the one page. Jack Moore has been dedicating his life to his book which he has been writing for the past ten years. It's entitled JACK'S REPORT . Phyllis Hansen and Janet Sessions have finally graduated from Brigham Young University and are teaching kindergarten in Bynumville, a little suburb. Jeannie Wiseman, who is now Mrs. Dick Bandow, has kept up the Bandow tradition and now has six children, all boys. Helen Yeager, who was engaged, decided to give it up as a bad job. She can't decide who she wants to marry, so she's living in a little shack on top of Ear Mountain , trying to be a hermit, while she writes letters to all of her boyfriends. Charles Blixrud, who is known better as Chuck , is now running a circus featuring Fuzzy, the Fuzziest Fuzzy Dog in the Whole World . He bought him from Bob Reiquam who raises them for a hobby. Lucy Cherry, or Lucy Burlingame, is now running a beauty salon, where she specializes in weight reducing. Jim Schneider, or Himey , (correct spelling Jaime , according to Mr. Reed) is now Joanie's manager, this way he gets to associate with his hobby-- girls . Lynne Dial, owns the largest dog kennel in Choteau (the only one.) She spe- cializes in the Heinz kind (57 varieties). She figures that you get your money's worth by getting one dog with several types of characteristics like for instance, a mixture of a Pekingese and St. Bernard. Kenneth Johnson or Kenney who was always a Romeo, has decided to find the Fountain of Youth so that he can always be as handsome and attract the eighth grade girls. Dan Lindseth or Danny is married now to Jeannie Zier and they have all sorts of basketball players and cheerleaders running around. Danny is now a movie censurer in Hollywood. Now you know why we've been getting such good movies lately. Florence Higgins now owns a restaurant in Choteau. She serves only the best and the specialty is chocolate covered sardines with licorice mushrooms. You also get a free glass of soda water to digest it. Now that's what I call generous. Pat Clark finally married Herb Tangen. She doesn't do too much, but she helps out now and then with Herb's business. He sells the holes in doughnuts to those who are on a diet. Bill McCauley hasn't quite decided what he wants to do with his life yet, prob- ably give it to some fortunate? girl. After ten years, he still hasn't decided what 20

Helen Yeager wills the science department to Barbara Johnson and Ellery Crary. Kenny Johnson wills the Speech Class to Dale Castle. He hopes that Dale likes it better than he did. Bob O'Neil wills his physics grades to Leo Rowley. Carter George wills Katherinette to Harold Powers. CLASS PROPHECY Well, here it is 1964 and the whole class of 54 are at the magnificent estate of Joan Richem. Joan gave up trying to decide what man to marry and took over her father's business. Her favorite saying is Dig those crazy ditches. There is Alfred Green, he's really made a career for himself. He’s presi- dent of M. S. A. (The Manure Spreaders Association). Just opposite him sits the famous New York model, Barbara Gebhart. There's Mr. and Mrs. Hinman. Ronny and Chris. They had to bring their little boy with them because they couldn't find a baby sitter that would sacrifice her life. The butler has just come in to announce dinner, and of course the butler is none other than our very own, Gary Franklin. As we get seated around the banquet table, we see Jimmy Howard, the famous model airplane builder and president of JAAC (Jimmy, the American Airplane Crasher). Carter George is now a minister for the Mormon Church in Bynum. He is getting along very nicely with his five kids. His wife is the former Katherinette Malone. Virginia Nelson or Gina, was always fascinated by things that jumped, so now she spends all of her spare time down in Australia chasing kangaroos. Helen Davison, who finally got Pinky to marry her, has now become very rich from her big resort, which they called, The Crawling Alligators. Norman Nault, who we all knew as the best speaker in the Senior Class, gave it up as a bad job after he fell off a soap box on his head. Who wouldn’t be dis- couraged after all those years of being half-off , the fall knocked him back to normal and he can't get over it. Patsy Edwards and Faye Jaconetty are now known as the modern Homer and Jethro . They have quite a few records out. They hold the record of the only ones who haven't sold a single recording. Joe Jaumotte, who was Choteau's star center is now making use of his height by pasting pictures on bill boards. He doesn't even need a ladder. Laura Ann Olsen, or better known as Punky , now owns the largest bar in Choteau. It's called Punky's Stagger Inn . She specializes in only the finest soft drinks. Joe Rose, who was always known for his beautiful head of hair, poses for a before and after ad for a hair restoring advertisement. He's the before by the way. A lot can happen in ten years ! Rita Castle, who used to work at the Teton Pharmacy, now owns her own drug store. She specializes in jaw breakers and castor oil. That’s a good combina- tion.

girl he wants. What does Bill have that Jerry Lewis doesn't? He's also been trying to devise a way to get to the top of Ear Mountain . Shirley Ross has been abroad lecturing on the ill effects of Streptocockeyed information. She is a well known authoritative on that matter. She is engaged to a little French man whose name is Pierre La Schmoe. He's a multimillionaire, so she should be pretty well off. Florence Powers and Peggy Gollehon liked Home-Ec. so well that they de- cided to take it up as a career, and are now teaching it. Florence is at Pendroy and Peggy is at Bole. Phyllis Magee, who is married to John VanWichen, is Supervisor at the Teton Memorial Hospital in her spare time. We see she finally made it through Nurse's training.
