Senior Class Prophecy The time—8:00 p.m. May 17, 1982. The place—Jerry's Club. A prominent night club in the city, Clarks of course. The occasion—the reunion of the Class of '62, just 20 years after graduation. Jerry's Club belongs to Jerry Zelazney and Jerry Stopak. We've heard that Carol Jilg, sometimes known as Carol Bemet the second, is entertaining for us this evening. There she is with her business manager, Doris Anne Phelps. They have both been quite successful since '62. The rest of the class is starting to arrive. Here comes Joe Bolen, owner of a large chain of supermarkets across the nation. It looks like he brought Jim Wfuble, a prominent tycoon, with him. Jim made his money by developing a new kind of chewing tobacco which can be chewed without spitting. This, along with his previous success in easily disposed of synthetic beer cans, has made him millions. Right behind them comes, it looks like a red hat. Yes, it's Jim Graves, alias Gravey who is now owner and guide of the game preservation and resort on Prarie Island. We are now disturbed by a siren. Why, it's Alan Peck, chief of police in the larger metropolitan area of Clarks. He brought Larry Mi Her, a forest ranger in charge of Yogi Bear and his friends in Jellystone National Park. We see a large group of people coming. It looks like the part of the class that turned to professional occupations. Valerie Rose leads them in. She has taken over her Dad's Shelling Co. after his retirement. Kathy Schutte is Mary Lane's competitor, with her column to the lovelorn, better known as Kathy's Kolumn. Marilyn Huele now has Marie Hulbert's position as hostess of Creative Cookery. Valinda Kohl, now a professional nurse, is working on wonder drugs. Here comes Connie Zoucha, an executive of the New York Stock Exchange. In come the Neel twins. Ron was beckoned to the South Sea Islands, where he hopes to win a wife from the native girls with his golden voice. Don is now a large rancher, and he and his wife, Jean, live comfortably in a beautiful house in the country. Last, but not least, come the married couples of the class. The former Sue Booth is now Mrs. Dale Hannappel. She and Dale are making their home in Colorado. Dale is now a sergeant in the U.S. Army. Margaret Kohl, now Mrs. Terry Furby, will have been married 19 years, June 8th. They are the parents of seven girls. Who's this we see strolling in happily? Well, it's none other than Mr. and Mrs. Jim Kozak. Mrs. Kozak is the former Angeline Bialas.

Senior Class History In the fall of 1949, twelve bright-eyed children entered the portals of Clarks Public School, Dist. 11, to begin the long journey upward in their education. Six from that little group are still with the present graduating class. They are: Sue Booth, Carol Jilg, Kathy Schutte, Joe Bolen, Angeline Bialas, and Valerie Rose. Mrs. McLean was our teacher. We began a full day of school in the first grade with Mrs. Pullen as our teacher. We lost three from our kindergarten class but gained three to take their places. Joining us were: Sally Graves, Lana Jackson, and Jim Graves. Once again Mrs. McLean guided us through another year of learning. We lost Mike Bittinger and Lana Jackson but gained Jim Wruble. Climbing still higher, we entered the third and fourth grades with Miss Mesner as our teacher. During these two years we lost Barbara Little and gained Mark Nelson, Donna Van Meter, Barbara Chapin, and Alan Peck. Mrs. Sloan taught us during our fifth and sixth grade years. Leaving us were: Donna Van Meter, Barbara Chapin, and Sally Graves. Janelle Beck and Fern Brunken joined our sixth grade class. New additions to our seventh grade were: Connie Zoucha, Valinda Kohl, Carol Pehrson, and Margaret Kohl. Mrs. Craig was our teacher. As we entered the eighth grade we had a room to ourselves for the first time since kindergarten. Joining us were: Ron and Don Neel, Robert Brown, John Prososki, Marilyn Heule, and Richard Brauer. After final eighth grade exams were taken, we graduated from grade school and were now ready to enter high school. We found high school contained many new and difficult studies, but despite these, we all had a lot of fun. We chose black and gold as our class colors, the white carnation as our flower, and Yonder Lies the Timber; Let Us Build as our motto. We lost John Prososki and Mark Nelson but adding to our enrollment were: Jerry Zelasny, Jerry Stopak, Doris Anne Phelps, Janet Kay Evers, and Larry Miller, bringing the Freshman class of 1959 to a grand total of 25. Mr. Johnson was our class sponsor. Leaving us after our Freshman year were: Fern Brunken, Richard Brauer, Cary Clauff, and Robert Brown. Clifford Colbert was our only addition during that year. Mr. Pettit became our new sponsor. Our Junior year was a busy one with the class play, While Wifey's Away and our Junior-Senior Banquet. For this occasion, we chose An Evening in Paris as the theme. We received our class rings from Josten's. Leaving us before our final year were: Clifford Colbert, Janelle Beck, and Carol Pehrson. We went to Haberman 's in Hastings and had our pictures taken, our Sneak Day to Chicago was taken on April 14, and we presented our play, Mumbo-Jumbo on April 25. The Juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 3. The theme was Tropical Islands. Twenty pupils now eagerly await the final step of a climb started 13 years ago.

A late arrival is Janet Kay Evers. She just turned pro last month. She was a member of the Olympic Volleyball team, then got a fabulous offer to play pro ball. She is known as quite a spiker. But who's this with her. Why of course, it's Norn Killiam, Janet's husband of 16 years. They're the proud parents of five TALL boys. Looks like they have a basketball team of their own. At last the Senior class is assembled for their 20th year reunion. You can be sure there will be much reminiscing about their wonderful years in C.H.S............
