1rlrmf .u,.m.a lBllHl1Elri CLASS PFQUPHEGY And now for a look into the future! Madame Mexcroporotio gazes solemnly into her crystal ball, and this is what she tells us: We see two on a stage, and, as the audience breaks into aroar, whom do we see but Rose Mary Carl and Richard Cooper, as a second Fibber and Molly. Gazing over the audience, we see three nurses in navy blue, Margaret Ann Dickinson, Theresa LaRocque, and Evelyn More. 1 The crystal ball next reveals a farm scene. And there We see Myrth Shoemaker and her red-headed triplets feeding the chickens. Now we see Professor Harold Munsey lecturing a group of bored young men in the Yale University on the subject 'iBugoIogy. The crystal next clinks together, and what does it reveal? None other than Max Eberle astride a llama, inspecting oil wells in Venezuela. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder who you are. None other than Bernadette Remus, as a ballet dancer in New York. Now as our gaze once again falls upon the crystal ball, we see Colonel Robert Glauser, lecturing to a bunch of new recruits upon The Do's and Don't's of the Army. 'l'sk, Tsk. Would you believe it? Elwyn Kresin and Bobby Boller as hobos catching the freight to Chicago. 1. We now focus our gaze upon June Morris who is a secretary to the Chief Executive of the Krisp Kracker Company in Chicago. The crystal ball glows with a soft, luminious light, and little black and white furry objects come into view. But no, it can't be! Can it??? It is!!! Hundreds and hundreds of baby skunks. A thriving business, owned by the Winkle cousins, Lawrence and Dale. Happily married as farmers'wives, we see Kay Kohler and Phyllis Taylor, still living close to Glen Elder, and still the best of friends. Upon the crystal ball flashes the view of a restaurant in Kansas City, with none other than Norma Jean Fritchen and Marie Finley as waitress- es. Look at this! Norma Jean hands the Kansas City Star to Marie, and we gaze upon the headlines, Brilliant Young Scientist, Robert Terry, Makes Startling Discovery! Looking over the rest of the paper we see that Virginia Vint, returned missionary from Africa, is lecturing at the Kansas City NVomen's Club tonight at 8:00, also, that Joan Beyer is giving flying lessons at the Kansas City Air Port every Thursday and Saturday afternoons. We now see Robert White and Darrell Remus as Tillers ofthe Soil. Across the crystal ball there now fiashes a streamlined train bound for California, with Don Margreiter as the engineer. Keith Kohler, still in the navy, is returning to his station after a visit to the Kansas City Air Port. . Among other passengers are Dorothy McCune and Mary Fenner, taking a vacation from the strenuous pastime of teaching school. Rosemary Cooper is also bound for California, after visiting her friends and family in Kansas. She is returning to her branch of Curly Cue beauty shops, known all over the country.

rhe mm IBILHIIEIG o The crystal ball now reveals to us a large room full of primary children, all grouped around their teacher. It is Opal Shoemaker, teaching kindergarten at Topeka. We now catch a glimpse of nature in all the fullness of its beauty. Huge forests, with its many hues of green, and high upon the mountain in a ranger's cabin is Bob Lee. Another deep look into the crystal ball! And yet another! But all that is revealed to us is a haze of green along a cliff in Oregon. A close look-- and there he is!!! Robert Wiss! And living as a hermit. Disappointed in love, Bob retired to the hills, where he spends his days in solitary confinement with Old Mother Nature. The ball grows dim, but brightens again long enough for us to see a winding path, leading further and further toward the top. No! Yes, there is someone on this path! Who? Who else other than Marjorie Forster, now a star of the great Metropolitan Opera, singing her way through life. Now, all is dark and the crystal ball tells no more. CLASS H ISTDRY In 1933, seven bright-eyed seaman, second class, of the Navy entered junior port, Glen Elder. Six of these were still together when they grad- uated from the junior port. In 1941 these six were given a promotion to seamen, first class. They were Donald Margreiter, Robert Glauser, Robert Wiss, and the Navy Nurses were Phyllis Taylor, Margaret Dickinson, and Joan Beyer. They were all assigned to the U. S. S. G.E.H.S. , and here they met their new shipmates, Robert Terry, Kathleen and Keith Kohler, Max Eberle, June Morris, Wayne Winkel, Rose Mary Carl, Marjorie Forster, Norma Jean Fritchen, Aileen Moores, Bernadette Remus, Opal Shoemaker, Robert White, Lawrence Winkel, Elwyn Kresin, Bill Weidenhaft, Robert Boller, Harold Munsey, Darrell Remus, Dorothy McCune, and Virginia Vint. During the first difficult trip ahead we chose as our admiral Don Margreiter. We lost seaman, first class, Robert Lee on the second half of our voyage. During the second year aboard, the crew was given a promotion to Ensigns. It was during this trip in which Harold Munsey became admiral. Seaman Wayne Winkel did not sign up for this voyage. The third year aboard we chose Jo Beyer for admiral. She is the first woman in history to ever become an admiral. During this trip we were promoted to Lieutenants, junior grade. Five new Navy Nurses joined the ship, G. E. H. S.-Vera Slate, Doris Marie Finley, Myrth Shoemaker, Theresa LaRocque, and Evelyn More. We lost one nurse, Aileen Moores, during the second half of the voyage, and Lieutenant Cj.g.JBill Weidenhaft. We entertained our superior officers at a banquet on the evening of May 5, 1944. The title theme was In Fair Hawaii? We docked long enough to give the annual Junior play, which was entitled Red Headed Royalty from Arkansas.
