Senior rProphecy This is Jane Olson greeting you from Hudson, Wisconsin, today, May 24, 1965, just twenty years after my graduation from Hud- son High.

Harriet Jonas, secretary of the Bell Tele- phone system, has been acclaimed as the in- ventor of the “Telesee” which does away with the problem of not knowing to whom one is speaking. Major Dean Morris Erickson, Wall Street tycoon, has contributed the money for the tea and cookies which are to be served after the reunion Marie Gund’s book, “The History of the United States Treasury”, has kept her from our reunion—she has been made special ad- viser to the Secretary of the Treasury, Frank Van Horn.

The Cubs’ owner, Patricia Cox, still wants to know after all these years. Miss Margaret Ann Rock, teacher at the Boys’ Town kindergarten, is in Hudson for the reunion, but rumor has it that her free time is being spent in North Hudson.

Well, I must sign off and head for the banquet, oh. here comes Eleanor Ferguson, you've heard of her; she’s the fabuously weal- thy widow of an Indian Rajah. This is your gabby gossiper, Jane Olson—happy in the thought that Hudson High’s class of 1945 has never been excelled and I doubt if it will be!
