a CLASS PROPHECY As we gaze into Professor Onzo Gonzo's crystal ball, we see what we are doing twenty years hence. The greatest shr.re of the class has climbed the ladder to success. The saddest and most Jolting thing we see is the passing away of James Macken. He always predicted he would not live to be of age. He always looked healthy but it was a certain girl who smashed r.is heart. (Joyce Nitcher). Next we see Marilyn Schultz who is now residing on a farm east of Grafton. Very prosperous I would say. They sure have their fun but they really work. They have no children. Aha. Strike 1 urn out Skinny old boy. Yes sir, here we see the former pitcher of the Grafton High School hurling for the New York Yankees. He is in there pitching to support his family. He has attained the ripe old age of thirty eight and still can throw a baseball as if he were sixteen. Here comes Russel Schultz with all the muscle still exercising them with old farm labor. It looks as if Clarence got sick of working and turned the big ranch to Russel and Arlene, the whole one hundred eighty acres, rnindja. Russel didn't take a wife, but Arlene makes a pretty good cook. Arlene Krueger, who never likes to go avay• She always used to say she liked to stay hone as long as she could, but now she is residing near Hanlontown on a farm. She really , nabbed a big husky fellow. It was a high school romance. Donald Dalluge has become the manager of the Webb Auto Co. of Mason City. He sure is a little fellow but has the height of success. Gerald Schotanus that talljdark, handsome lad has gone on to college and practiced law. He is the Judge in the Worth County Court House. By the way most of his cases are divorce cases. He tries to marry them after having granted divorces. He accomplished his purpose and lives in Northwood at this time. Jo-un Lifka we see is now in Hollywood and is a movie actor. He ranks with many of the best stars. Must be an exciting life with all the movie stars around. James Vagner is the President of the Standard 0 1 Co., Indianapolis, Indiana. He has settled down with a very attractive young lady who hailed from Manly. Good for him. The only red head in the class, Lois May, has united in holy matrimony with Y.’aldo Flo. Every one knows Y.'aldo and how fond he is of redheads. They really have some nice looking children, all redheads. Ye see Elmer Schultz, not advanced so much in height, but greatly advanced in ambition and ideas. He is now the owner of one of the cattle ranches of Texas. Last but not least the studious lad Roger Hackbart has entered the teaching profession and has moved to Could it be that Belken girl?
