48 5 i H 2 0 0 (Plate ' PiopAecy The year is I960 and we are taking an imaginary trip around the country visiting our classmates. First stop is at Aberkeen, South Dakota at a well-known drugstore, Wallgreen ' s. To our amazement the waitress is Diane Hess who has been working there for ten years. As we walk out the door a newsboy is shouting Extra. 1 EstraJ Aberle brothers paralyze the nation. We buy a paper and find out that Charles, the youngest brother, has called a strike of his United Ditch Diggers union. Harold, a Republican Senator, is filibustering in the Senate. Farther back in the paper, we see the comic strip Fearless Fosdic now being drawn by Iver Nelson after A1 Capp went nuts. On another page is a large ad sponsored by Charles Anderson, who has all ready made his first million. The ad reads, Win $15,000. Complete this line in twenty-five words or less. ' Charles Anderson is a better dancer than Arthur Murray because . Taking a bus from Aberdeen, we soon pass the University of South Dakota. On that campus there is found a plaque naming all those who have been faculty members ten years. Ahai We find a familiar name: Professor of History, Jerry Hermansen. Going farther south we strike Omaha, the heart of the cow country. The national Rodeo is showing, so let ' s go]. ' The reason for this is very plain. Buffalo Buzz Whelan is in the saddle and ready to go. Not much further south, in Kansas City, we are surprised tc find Orryn Heine starring with the Harlem Globe Trotters. We are still going along the smooth blacktop when, all of a sudden, a squad of little gadgets are spotted buzzing along the highway. It must be the newly organized F. B. M. P. In other words, Federal Bureau of Motorscooter Police. In the lead with red cap streaming, is the squad leader Danny Schneck. Finally, we hit the Gulf of Mexico, where we run into a gaily lighted little hotspot called Club 24 (24 for 24 hour service). This is the place we have been looking for because two of our classmates are operating here. Sure enough, we find seated at a large desk, co-owners Ida Bollinger and Margaret Tuuri. Now, because we ' ve gotten as far South as we can, lets turn East, should we? Our first stop is Memphis. We are shocked when we see a sign which has a picture of Ardys Johnson running for tax collector of the city. My these 48 graduates] On our way to Montgomery, Alabama, we stop to pick up a hitchhiker. What a surprise to find it to be Keith Pierce. He says he is slumming, but we wonder. At Miami, Florida , we are visiting the crowning of Miss Florida, the bathing beauty. Ellis Nell certainly looks flattering in a two-piece bathing suit, doesn ' t he. Now we ' ll go to Key West to see the famous gambling ships. As we walk in the door we see Adeline Schnaidt just bouncing Melvin Wanttie overboard for having an ace up his sleeve. Raleigh, North Carolina is our next stop. We are certainly shocked to find Joan Meyer to be the auctioneer (tobacco) at the auction. At the White House in Washington we find the first woman president, Beverley Kern, busily writing a .message to Congress. Before we leave Washington we need some gasoline. Doesn ' t that person at the filling station .look familiar. Why, of course, it ' s Ruth Hokana lubricating a car. New York City with its many night clubs is our next stop. At the Stork Club we find Bernice Brandenburgeiwea ring a slinky black evening gown and romantically singing the torch song I can ' t get my foot off the rail. More power to you, Bernice. Now to talk over old times with Betty Hiepler, owner and manager of the If-you ' ve-got-any-cares-come-in-and-drowned-them- club. At a boxing match in Madison Square Garden we find Slugger Marilyn Strand fighting Lefty Evelyn Shimmin in a fight for the heavy weight championship. Next, we arrive at Boston where we are directed to the office of Eleanir Wallace who has gained the respect of the Bostonians of Beacon Street, as president of the Lonely Hearts Club. On our way back home, we ' ll go through Buffalo where we are just in time to attend the fourth wedding of Floy Kosel. (The first three died of mysterious causes after taking our $100,000 in insurance.) Then at the outskirts of Buffalo we find LcJune Gebhardt taking pictures of cows for the Borden Company. Detroit, Michigan, has two surprises for us. Murray Brown is designing jet propelled kiddy cars and Lois Griffin is designing trucks for the Studebaker Company. On to Chicago and the famous Chicago Sun newspaper is calling a shipment of diamonds were smuggled into the country by a mysterio.us blonde girl . This girl was none other than Betty Krieger. At Peoria we are attracted to the court room where Elizabeth Zinter is residing over a court of human relations. Now as we drive along, our radio announces that the winner of the Bing Crosby runner-up contest is Freddie Retzlaff. Walter Winchell, also announced that Robert LeMatta, who is running a close second to Tommy Manville, is just marrying his eleventh wife today. Now ' into Minnesota, our North Dakota neighbor, we travel straight to Minneapolis. There we find Lillie Mayer is a very efficient street car conductor. As we are so near St. Paul we might as well stop at the Montgomery Ward Company. There ' s Pearl Zahn modeling overalls. They look so nice let ' s buy two pair. As we leave Minnesota we keep getting closer to home. As we drive by Guelph, we wave to Frances McShane, who is running a large chicken farm there. Some people give us the impression that a person goes out in life and just takes up whatever occupation is handy for him. However, we believe our classmates will help to prove that this idea is wrong and that each person in the world can find an occupation that is different and interesting. 1948 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017
