CLASS PROPHECY As I look into the future and traverse the stairway to the stars some ten years hence, I see be- fore me the cream of the Milky Way. Some of the thirty-eight senior stars have attained higher heights than others, some are brighter, while still others are more beautiful: but each shines ra- diantly in its own way. The first star is a famous wrestler, Curly Curt Meyerhoff by name. He now has his own Used Car lot. You can't say he hasn't had a lot of experience. There shine Harlan DeB0er and Douglas Bruns. They have really built themselves up in the world. They have just constructed a 103 story building. Talk about reaching the heights! Shirley Stubbe has paved the way inT1er waitress career. She has just become the head wait- ress to a Brown Derby in Hollywood. Hereqre two of our stars--star basketball players from George High--Pat Meester, forward, and Nadine Kruse, guard. When Pat graduated from school she got a car and said, I'm going to take this Forward to New York. Now she is editor of the New York Fashion Magazine. Nadine Kruse--Hey, where is she? Ah, there she is, guarding the gold at Fort Kruse and it's all hers. She got it singing on the NAK Television Show. Ah, I see Dorothy Reiter is still cheering. Cheering because she finally landed a fish with her line. Nice fishing, Dorothy. Lloyd Ossenfort has met and married his Harriet. Now on television, Ozzie and Harriet have competition. Every Friday night Ozzie and Harriet Ossenfort and Ir. and Slicky may be seen. At present Dorothy Bruns is at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York testing a new waffle. She's one of the best cooks in America fa rival of Betty Crockerj. I guess that medal she received in high school inspired her. Clarence Jurrens owns a cookie factory in Manchester, New York. There he is making Kooks Cookies. Louise I-lansmann is making her living selling kisses but not the kind you think. No, I see she is the proud owner of Louise's Yummy Candy Kiss Factory. Harlan Stubbe has just opened his own hatchery. He has been saving eggs for a number of years now. One who has worked her way up in the field of art is .Toann Sprock. She nowlhas gone through Greenwich Village and is drawing portraits of the President and other important dog-catcher officials. Next tirne you're in the dog house call on her--you might see her working. I just received a news flash from France. Jean Groenewold has received her first vote of con- fidence from the parliament as woman premier of France. And now to Hollywood where we find J'oe Klinkenborg as successor to Marlon Brando. As it was written in a Hollywood gossip column, he is noted as, not the Lone Wolf and not the Lone Ran- ger but, ---- as Tonto might say, Ugh, him got much silver and many squaws. Of all the things Stanley Rypkema has been called, he has been named outstanding baseball play- er of 1962. Klaas Voss and wife are using their geometric knowledge in building a new home in California, one of those that hangs on a mountain. Another star is the former Betty Arends starring in her role of farm wife. During the day she looks after all the little Hansmanns and at night she teaches 4-H classes. Kenneth Hinsch, after trudging in the Sierra Madre for five years, has just discovered uraniu.m. He left on his prospecting trip the night he received his diploma. Wayne Krahling became a famous driver in the racing world. Didn't think.he would make it be- cause his name is often pronounced Krawling. People want a driver who makes his car do much more than crawl. Nina Blau has cut her appetite. She is sword swallower for Ringling Brothers Circus. Rudy lvleyer owns a ranch in Alaska. He raises red-nosed reindeer, each endowed with the name, Rudolph. In a farmhouse south of town we see Alma Duin and Johnnie. It seems the family pocketbook is subplanted more by accordian playing than by raising chickens. Henry Duin has been doin' just plenty. He is proud father of twins, Nothin' Duin and Plen- ty Duin. He also sings at the Metropolitan Opera House. All that yelling across the study hall finally paid dividends. Texas clairns a dude ranch owner, Jackie Hilbrands. Jackie was a stewardess aboard an airplane that crashed in the rich oil fields of Texas. She later married the doctor who took care of her in the hospital after the crash. fBy the way, he owns ten oil wells., Guess who's the foreman ofthis classy dude ranch. None other than The Dude, Den Tex Hilbrands. He made his fame in the role in his senior class days. Remember that rock Shirley Van Westen got for her finger in her senior year? Well, she's still collecting rocks. She and Stanley have a rock garden at their new home. Kenneth Harpham, the jet ace of the air force, is recruiting passengers for his tenth trip to the moon. The price has been cut to the astonishingly low price of Sl00,000 per person for a two week cruise in outer space. A new highway market has sprouted up. The sign says: See Gene Thorn for the thorniest thorn bushes in town. A place where you'll get stuck if you don't watch out. 'I' l l l 4 i w N m
