Prophecy of '51 qc ontinuedj Donna Nelson was always the problem girl of the class because they thought she was too shy. Now, I understand, she has started a Loafers Club and has made her living off the members' dues. Oh, well, everyone has to make aliving some way. Clarence Peterson wanted to join the Air Corps, and he got in too, but as a radioman and not a pilot. He was always called Sparks in the service. Twelve years ago he got married, and now he has a lot of little sparks',', Now for Angie Raney. I remember her singing in her Senior year at the Uni- versity of North Dakota. She had an inspiration to go into business, but Ididn't know exactly what kind. I hear she has a little trade shop with! the slogan Any- thing Goes At Angie's . It's one of those places where you can bring in Grandma and walk out with someone else, or take in an old stove pipe and come out with some worthwhile object. She is probably as rich as Arthur Godfrey by now. I hear Jean Rath becaxne a nurse as she had planned but not just a plain nurse but a Navy nurse. They say she married a sailor with a narne that sounds like hers but is spelled Gene . They say she is now caring for two little folks ,in a private nursery. Jo Rudnick went into social service work for the government for a few years. She didnit make it through four years of college ----- that was probably why every- one laughed so when she took the final step. She had always said she would have a social service career but her career was that of housekeeping and family raising. Pa Rutherford has really aged, I have heard. She has gray hair and all, but she s had a bad ailment ----- heart trouble and nerves. She always worried so about Minnesota, and that is such a big place to worry about too--it would make anybody sick. She finally got into Technicians School in Minneapolis but that was too close to St. Cloud, I guess, so in 1945 she ended up in Hallock. That is all I have heard about her but I can imagine the rest ---- -4 or 5 little Cedar s. I imagine Doris Schumacher has had plenty of work to do because living on a farm is no easy task. Of course, when they graduated, her classmates knew her future ----- wife, mother, and worker in Minnesota. Jensen is her last name. I hear Connie Simmons became a nurse--or maybe it was a technician. Well, whatever it was, I'll bet she has had a lot of enjoyment out of sticking people with needles and then cheering them up. Jirnrny Stewart joined the Navy in the sumrner d 1951, and after his discharge bought a little farm over in the Grafton vicinity. On this farm there is a little house with green shutters ----- very comfortable, I have been told. There never were any reports about his great deeds in the service, and it's a funny thing, too, for Ihave been told that he was President twice---when he was a Sophomore and a Senior. I hear the boys of the class are going to have some sort of a meeting tonight -----something kind of like the tea the girls have been planning so I suppose it would be wise to get home pretty early this PM for I reckon it will be pretty gay. Well, I've been sittin' here daydreaming for so long that the sun has gone down be- hind a cloud, so I guess I had better get home for I sure want to get out early to- morrow morning so Iwon't miss seeing the 1951 graduating class when they go to their class reunion. x14
