glass poem We the class of '55 Made this poem of our reflection, T hese are our talents and Faults Which we leave for further inspection. He's president of the class And captain of the team, He's a romeo with the girls, Eldon's the one we mean. Larry is a Friendly guy, With schoolmates he rates high? His intelligence and looks Will surely get him by. Dexter is the funny man Many a joke he tells, He has a hopped-up Chevy That carries him to Dells. Mickey is a Democrat And excells in farming, Some things that he does, Are really quite alarming. Gerald is a clever soul, His colors are pink and black, And when it comes to having fun, He's sharper than a tack. Phyllis, a charming lass, Is always willing and ready, But don't get any ideas boys Remember -- she's going steady. Ruth is interested in colleges, And we're sure she will succeed, But it won't be to higher learning That her ambitions will lead. Arlene has many friends And is a studious gal, In trouble, you will Find, She truly is a pal. Gary has lots of wavy hair And seems to get around . A saxophone player like he ls really hard to be found. Jack is very good At developing much talent, With accordion in hand He looks very gallant. Bill does his dreaming All through the day, He works at night, lt's easier that way. Jim is the sleeper Of the bunch, But he always tries To be first for lunch. Ruby is a friendly lass To almost everyone 5 She does her share of work, But also likes some fun. Madonna is ambitious, And really gets around, She's nice to everyone she meets No truer friend is to be found. This is the end, there is no more Of an angelic class--you bet, We bid you fond adieu and hope I We're a class you'll never forget. That's us---Class of '55

glass prophecy of 1955 The year is l963. A class reunion is being held at good old Franklin High for the brilliant class of '55. On our way down the new super-highway between the Granflaten Hotel and Joe McAllister Airport we see flight l9 approaching the runway from the east. We slow our turbo-car to a halt in front of the administration building and wait for our passengers. The first to alight from the airplane is Eldon Thurow who is now a star slugger for the Rutland Redbirds, and who doubles as chief scout for the N. B. P. A. in his off season. Next to descend the steps is Mickey Walker who has made his fortune from cr patent on a farm featuring an extra large haymow. This now, it is rumored is so large a person can easily raise cane in it. Right behind Mickey comes Bill Granflaten, a member of the F. B. l. who acts as Mickey's bodyguard. He is also part owner of the Granflaten Hotel which is known all over the world for its fine sea foods. 4 The next to come out of the airplane is Ruby Nelson who married into a rich family of bolt manufacturers. Before her marriage she was launched on a fine career as a wrestling promoter, so it is evident that she didn't marry for money. Who's next? Why that's Madonna Moran. She has become fabulously rich in the ring business after failing in the hardware and gas industry. What surprises us is the fact that she is still unmarried. What's this? Jack McLaughlin isn't here. Ohl Here he comes in his new thought-controlled Pontiac. This automobile will go anywhere merely by the driver thinking ofthe destination. This was developed during his high-school days when he decided to drive one-handed. Look at that beautiful hair! Why, if it isn't Gorgeous Gary Wiese, better known as The Strangler . Only last week he captured the world wrestling crown with one of his well-known fto classmates, strangleholds. What are the photographers for? Why it's the famous singer Arlene Olson alias Tiny Ole. You will no doubt remember her sudden rise to fame through her record Undecided . Maybe she can find time to squeeze in a song for us right after the reunion if she doesn't have to rush off to interview the basketball team. Sayl Doesn't the pilot of that plane look familiar? Why it's Jim Sheppard. Guess he had quite a time getting that iob. It was between him and his brother as to who had the most patience, but Jim waited the longest and finally got the vote. Well, there's Ruth Hammer. Rumor has it that she tried to crash the literary world. Sad to say, however, her stories turned out to be jokes. Now she has successfully invaded the field of radar and has made quite a name for herself down at the University. Here comes Gerald Ordal, the famous basketball star. lt's said he has become so popular that he receives mailbags of letters and bundles of telegrams before each game. Oh, yes, I thought there was someone missing. Phyllis Mergen is just driving up in her Minute Car. She married soon after getting out of high school and settled down on a farm near Orland, which is a suburb of Franklin. Her children are all happy ones which is only natural for she always had a cheerful disposition. We still aren't all here,are we? Where are Dexter Harding and Larry Hybertson? Why, they haven't made much of a name for themselves yet. They've been writing this prophecy for the last eight years. Larry Hybertson Dexter Hardina I3
