gLAss wILL we, the Jordan graduating class of nineteen hundred and sixty-six, being of sound body and questionable mind, bequeath our most outstanding and treasured traits to our successors. To Mark Migliaccio go the carefree curls of Jim meger. wayne Iseri gives his battered drumsticks to Brad Benzick. Beth Deibert bequeaths her famous brush 'n comb to mr. Ballentine. Mike Conlow Offers his fabulous wardrobe to Doug Lenhart. Val Watson relinquishes her ability to keep teachers occupied for a whole hour, to Carol Zoet. Linda Paakkonen Wishes Dawn Deibert to have her artistic abilities. Whndy Bush unwillingly will offer her flirting ability to Diane Barrett. Tb Danny Babin goes Tbm Smith's ability to sleep through any class. Colleen McGinnis's bottle of peroxide Will be presented to Sue Birdsall in a formal ceremony. Jan Davis will naturally inherit Sandy Andersonrs hyena-like laugh, when she has departed sadly from Jordan Junior High. The swingin' figure of Sheila Vick will be left for Kathy Van Vleet. Guy Laurent passes his good looks to Chet Bogucki. This year's Jordanian staff will leave behind their bottles of aspirin, tranquilizers, and Ross's Pure.White Rubber Cement for the staff of next year. The piano-playing skill of Dick Gabatino will be left for Sue Stein. Kurt Palmer's special skill with girls Will be given to Darryl Kollodge. Connie Danielson will leave her gay per- sonality to Kathy Krantz. Finally, the beautifully sweet smile of Linda MbLaughlin Will be left at Jordan for mr. Futcher.

CLASS PROPHECY Howdy, there! This is your on-the-scene reporter, Linda Edberg. Today, in the year 1986, there are those Who wonder why we turned time back. Why? The world was moving too fast for us. TiTe've gotten rid of all them flying contraptions, and the problems that they brought. Our civilization is now again as it was in the days of the ripwroarih' West. Today, we are visiting Jordan, U.S.A., where we will see a few of the h2S that graduated from good ol' Jordan's 1966 class. We focus in on a typical scene of this present society. A lady, I believe the former Karen Nordquist, is sitting on her porch, churning butter for her lovin' husband. Around her play little Victoria and Vic, Jr. Oh, Oh! Who is this riding up on horseback? It's TWO-Gun Wandy-the-Bush. She can out-ride, out-shoot, and has out-lived all other fastndraws. If her opponents tmenl get a little too rough, all she does is turn on the charm, and sockol Here is a notice posted on the bulletin board near the sheriff's office. It's ad- vertising the big barn dance at Nb. Conlow's tMike'sl farm tonight. what do you say we mosey on over there? The first two people whom we see by the door are the only two bachelors left from the Jordan '66 ers. They are Kurt Palmer and Guy Laurent twouldn't you know it?i. They're flirting with all the pretty calico-gowned girls. Deb Arbogast, Dee Dee Cretelli, Faye maxey, and Rita Gierke are showing the folks their swingin' new dance, the Polka Dot Polka. Randy Forslund on the string-covered cigar box, Ron Liners on the empty cider jug, and Wayne Iseri on the skins tbuffalo hide, of coursel are the musicians. After the dance, we return to our hotel, owned by Dave Di Bennedetto totherwise known as The Crusher. i On the way, we turn on to main Street. we first come to the town barbershop. This is jointly owned and operated, of course, by Jim Meger and Don Haukom. Across the street we spot the blacksmith's shop. Who is the blacksmith, you ask? Why, the sign reads, STRONGMAN INGISON. The next morning, we come upon a bevy of women discussing the latest in fashions. We discover that they are Diane Mankowski, Carol BOWyep, Pat Akenson, and Denise Benson. They are talking about the daring adventure of wearing skirts above the ankle and wondering whether or not it will become fashionable. Next door to that exciting group, we hear some beautiful music; It is coming from the Rainbow Cafe. Sure enough, as we peek in, we see Sheila Vick and Val watson sitting on Dick Gabatino's piano singing Down By the Old Mill Stream. As we continue on down the street, we see Doc Larson tPaull and the deputy, George Kuczek dozing in the sun near the jail. Dave Block, the sheriff, seems to be out of town today. Well, since I'm getting a little tired, I'll return to the hotel and freshen up a bit before dinner at the Rainbow. I've decided that I like this little town so well that I will live here. I suggest that you come and visit us once in a while at Jordan, U.S.A.
