60155 Prophecy During the many years since the class of 1965 graduated great advances have been made in the field of fast transportation. This is obvious in the way the great graduates of 1965 have scattered all over the globe. Let's start our world tour in London, where Marilyn Tady, Ed Kittrell, and Chuck Wiese are a folk- singing trio in a Coffeehouse that specializes in Chinese food. Joyce Taube, John Rashke, and John McAvoy are cooks there. Waiters serving expresso coffee in the same restaurant are Gary Massey, Jerry Quillen, Allan Gehn, and Dale Gradert. Not far away at Oxford, Chuck Norton is a professor of English. His hundreds of essays are famous for their cynicism. Across the English channel in Paris we find Rita Bassier, Paula Blumenstein, Jane Rink, and Carol Varney performing as dancers in the Follies Bergere. Sitting in the front row watching them are, naturally enough, Marion Mirocha, Dan Caras, Lonny Firch, and Steve Graham. A couple of blocks away we find Mag Smeltzer, Delores Clark, and Janet Betcher employed as designers in the House of Dior. This year's fall collection of all three got rave reviews from the fashion critics. Lmhda Verstraete, Sherri Loucks, and Sandy Carter are their head models. Most of our more creative class members are located in Paris. Caroline Smith writes beat poetry, and Bill Roesner has a sidewalk display where he sells his paintings on the left bank. Farther south on the French Riviera Dave Berner and Jack Brown are occupied as lifeguards saving pretty girls such as Sharon Ritch, Nancy Urban and Sherry VanDeRostyne, who do nothing but while away their time sun-bathing on the beautiful beaches. On location in Italy we find Craig Mahlstedt and Mary Peponis, the modern Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren, making a low-cost foreign movie. Mark Smith is currently a broadcaster in West Germany for Radio Free Europe. Darrell Strohman writes all his material. Tuming now to Russia, we find Sid Magerkurth as ambassador in the U. S. embassy in Moscow. His two head interpreters are Sharon Holland and Jean Ellsberry, and his private secretaries are Linda Salto, Judy Cobb, and Mary Bessant. Down in Tanganyika the members of our class have accomplished a big undertaking. Kathy Skelton and Denise Wiltamuth have founded a boarding school for native children. Kathy and Denise are heads of the physics and Latin departments respectively. Also on the faculty are Wesley Jones, professor of non- conformism, Steve Shipman, leader of the native music group, and Max Radue, who teaches jungle agri- culture. Marcia Bartz is head of the home economics department. Pat Wyffels, Larry Lewis, Chuck Loenser, Terry Goodwin, and John Lounsberry are in Egypt making plans for another dam across the Nile River. This will be their tenth. Nearby, Al Ward and Cliff Webb are selling bikinis to Egyptian women still wearing veils. Oh well, they'll never give up! Also in Egypt, Bryce Chamberlain, Pat Johnson, Gary Felske, and Davis Eskelson are excavating for ancient Egyptian tablets. If they ever find anything they'll send it to Jerry Kane in his mountain laboratory in Afghanistan to be deciphered. Jerry is now head of the Alder Observatory but vacations in Afghanistan. Dan Fleming, David Goreth, Karen Alexander, and Ann Peak run a training school for camel drivers. This is a skill that is fast dying out, and they felt they owed it to posterity to preserve it. Also in Afghanistan, Connie Shambaugh and Marj Koerper have opened a Dairy Queen branch. As a sidelight Connie writes children's books, and Marj translates them into French. The world famous oil tycoons, Ronald Klavohn, Dennis Loenser, and Charles Tieken have collaborated on a hugh drilling project in Saudi Arabia. Tom Borkgren's construction company is handling the building of a pipeline to a major port on the Red Sea. Sharon Crist, Sharon Collins, Barbara Stohl, and Carol Crisop have become exceedingly wealthy through speculating in diamond mines in the Union of South Africa. They now each own huge estates in the mountains. Conducting safaris through the Serengeti plains are Gary Ellis, Steve Krantz, aro ' om so , and Pat Braekevelt. Pat and Caroline are very well-known for their prowess in fighting off lions. fcontinued on page 803

Seuirfr 611155 Play - Audifvrium 's Hirst Suvcess The curtain rose on My Three Angels , this year's Senior Class play and the first play to be presented in our new auditorium, on November 19, 20 , and 21 . Three convicts acted as three guardian angels for Marie Louise, a young French girl living with her mother and father in French Guiana. Marie Louise was in love with Paul, the son of a wealthy, penurious Frenchman, Henri Trochard. With the help of Adolphe, a poisonous snake, the Three Angels took care of Marie Louise 's problems and made her realize that she was in love not with the real Paul, but rather with one whom she had idealized in her mind.
