Senior Qlciss Prophecy Hudson, Wisconsin May 26, 1949 Dear Mrs. Dehne, Here it is 1959! Just think ten years ago we were all seniors back in Hudson High School hav- ing the time of our lives. I have recently made a tour of the country, and you would really be sur- prised and glad to see what our class of ’49 is now doing. I traveled East first, and made New York City my first stop. I picked up a daily paper, and whose name should I see. but Shirley Benedict’s, listed as reporter for the New York Sun. As I walked down Broadway, I noticed the billboards which were advertising the new Broadway smash hit, “Still Water Runs Deep”, with David Cleve- land in the lead. That afternoon I looked up an old friend of mine who I knew was living in the city, Marlene Redman, who is now the model American house- wife. She was having Patricia Hoel, now a New York fashion designer, over for tea that same aft- ernoon and asked me to stay also. We talked of many of our old friends, and they told me about what many of them were now doing. I was surprised to hear that George Harwell was now in vaudeville, and at present was having trouble digging up a new act for the show, and that LeRoy Colbeth had taken over the Arthur Murray dance studio. Kenneth DeWitte has settled in the wilds of Africa, hunting elephants and lions. Another mem- ber who has left this country, is Wanda Detlefsen, a Christian Missionary in India’s interior. I also found out that five of the members of our class are in Washington, D. C. at government jobs. Walking the halls of the Congressional build- ings are Lorraine Scuillo, Democratic senator from Wisconsin with her right-hand secretary, Ann Brun- ner. Eleanor Thompson has become a financial adviser in the Treasury Department. Nora Salmon is National director of 4H activities, under Elton Dahlke who is National Farm Director. According to all reports, the senior survey back in 1949 had a decided effect on Richard John- son who is now' a very prospering young salesman for the nationally knowm Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Company. After hearing all this news, I began to tell them all about the home new's. They hadn’t heard that Mary Louise Vaughn has recently written a novel on the oddities of the human mind, and were glad to hear that several of her novels have al- ready been published. Vernon Christensen is head coach of the Hamline Pipers”. Robert Gifford, professor of chemistry, has been transferred to the Chemistry Department at North- western University. If you were to return to Hudson now, you would find Joyce Worrell and Margaret Clothier as co-owners of the Hudson Dairy Bar. Lois and DeLores Foss have recently decided to begin a book on The Party’s Perfect Hostess”. Connie Lein and Phyllis Danielson are running a matrimonial bureau with their extras! Patricia Van Horn and Joyce Linehan are run- ning a summer resort located on the North Shore Drive of Lake Superior. Richard Kinney is running the Real Gold Fruit Company of Annaheim, California. Mary Ferguson and Ruth Gerlach are giving electrical home appliance demonstrations at Fer- guson’s Electric”. Constance Hammill, after spending several months in the Caribbean on Alva Hanley’s yacht. Is again managing Hammill’s Eat Shop. Mary Jane Petersen’s tooth paste factory has been shut down temporarily for remodeling. William Wallace, St. Croix County Game War- den, has put a new restriction on hunting deer”. We all remember Dan Borg’s clear, deep voice, well, he has taken Cedric Adams' place in broadcast- ing the ten o’clock night-time news. Arvin Lovaas and Myrlon Daniels have recently received world-wide recognition for their atomic research. Ronald Payson found that the only way to accommodate successfully the North Hudson peo- ple who dislike walking was to start a bus line, so we find him in partnership with Dallas McGinley. William Hooley owns the Hooley Meat Market, and Yvonne Martin runs its cash register. Helen Jean Baisch is now head of the Home Economics Department at the University of North Dakota, with Anna Marie Barr as her private sec- retary. Verlyn Benoy and Neil Katner are employed at the Wrightpark” parking lot in Slumber Hollow. Clyde Christensen owns the Stillwater Confec- tionery Company, which specializes in cookies. We find Jack Putman in the wild West, run- ning the Rancho-Del-Maro riding stables. Marjorie Hancock, happily married, just received the royalty on her cookbook entitled Margie’s Kitchen Helper . And as we all know, after five successful years as governor, Wendell Adams is campaigning for the 1960 presidential election on the Democratic ticket. This seems to take in the activities of our up-and-coming class, so I’ll close for now. Sincerely, Patricia Van Horn i?
