SCHOOL DAYS Cl.ASS DIQDDHECY YEAR OF 1952 Loren Noa, our greatest explorer, just returned from Africa, bring- ing with him the most ancient of reptiles, a dinosaur. He got married once, but his wife didn't like the rings in her nose so she divorced him. Poor Loren, that taught him to keep other people's noses out of his business. Arlene is still writing letters to soldiers, but now they call her Aunt Arlene, and some even call her Grandmother. Poor thing, she has aged so much since her husband died and left her with so much money that she had to keep going all the time to spend it. But that hasn't been hard to do, in this day and age. Mary Alice, the only spinster of our class, is still living in the little White cottage on Main Street, spending her leisure time reading her cherished letters that the soldiers and sailors wrote her Way back in 1942. She's still waiting patiently for her sailor to come back from the World War II. Wouldn't he be surprised to know she has a Wig, glass eye and false teeth? Schutte has taken over Minnie's place, assisted by Marilee. It is said he sells the best beer in the county. His son vows he will follow in the footsteps of his father, but some of them are mighty crooked. Nellie Lee, our most glamorous, blonde divorcee, has just returned from her sixth trip to Reno. She appears on NBC Thursday evening as the most apt to fail violinist. But we wouldn't know her now, as she has dyed her hair auburn. Hasenyager is serving his country as commander of a fleet in the Pacific. They say he's doing right well. He isn't married yet and vows he won't be. He was jilted once in his school days and it soured him on women. After ten years of married life, Myrtle Mae has gone on the stage, featured as a ballet dancer, leaving her twins with her mother-in-law. Her flaming romance of high school days is only a wee flicker now, but Charlie is hoping it will burst into flame once again. Barney is now residing in the vicinity of DuBois Where he can at- tend all the dances South of the Border. This is most confidential, but it is rumored that he has a crush on the proprietor. Max is still searching for THE man of her dreams-the man she has been seeking since high school days. She has her ad in all the Lonely Hearts magazines in the country, but it has all been in vain, but she still has high hopes for the future. I I I ' 4

SCHOOL DAYS The play was centered around Mrs. Highgate, who couldn't re- member either names or faces. She was having her portrait and kit- chen both painted at the same time and she couldn't tell one painter from the other. There were really some thrilling and exciting moments for the entire cast. Philip seemed to be one of the favorite actors with the audience. The play was a success and Was enjoyed immensely by the audience. We had our class pictures taken in October. A representative of Haberman Studio, Friend, Nebraska, took the risk of never being able to use his camera again! We Seniors observed Sneak Day in April. We went to Omaha, where many places of interest were visited. Everyone had a swell time. Our class Was entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior- Senior Banquet. At intervals throughout the year We had some swell get-togethersf' with Mr. Little as our chaperon. Commencement exercises Were held on May 13, and We descended from Dear Old D. H. S. with memories in our hearts that will never be forgotten. V -Colleen Mullins.

V' SCHOOL DAYS Mary Lee Murphy has made a big name for herself in the field of Ancient History. Her classmates are not at all surprised because they remember her proficiency in remembering history dates. The shifting sands of an Egyptian desert uncovered an unknown pyramid and she is now leading a party in the investigation of the ancient tomb. Wilbur, our great actor, is very successful. Great critics have said, Wilbur is the greatest discovery since the days of Charlie McCarthy. Wilbur is now the greatest heart-throb of all the teen-age girls this side of Hollywood. You remember Colleen went to Arizona. She's now living in Cali- fornia and is married to a millionaire. Her blue-blood society friends would be so shocked to know that Colleen came from a small mid- west village. Please keep it a secret!

She also teaches at the University of Nebraska in Lin- coln. It is rumored that she, too, is engaged. Lynelle has turned out to be the typical stenographer, engaged to her boss. They are to be married soon. But you wouldn't recognize Lynelle, as she has become quite plump and dignified. Beachy will soon return from the Marines. He has never married. It seems that Dorothy, his schoolday sweetheart, jilted him. But we heard that he knows all the night clubs back east. Do you suppose he knows any of those glamour girls? Evelyn has the maternal instinct, a huge one. She is supervisor for an orphanage back east. She and Leroy were divorced recently. It seems that the orphanage is the apple of her eye, and Leroy was only a side attraction. t Dorothy Ann is our angel of mercy. She is head nurse in a hospital in California. Her marriage recently was outstanding as she married the janitor of the hospital. Oh, well, she Will have someone to clean house for her, Won't she? , And last, but not least, Alice's flaming romance of high school days finally blossomed out. She and Gentry live on a farm near York. .alice has changed considerably as she now wears glasses and is quite p ump. So we leave our class of 1942, considerably changed, but we ex- tend our best Wishes to them. Nellie Lee Triggs Arlene Curfman Dorothy Ann Meyerkorth Alice Bernhardt.
