(2Lm LPxo iIiucl) see someone else in policies—why it’s Dean. He’s the founder and head of the Repub- lican party in Russia. His brother, Dale, didn’t get as far— he got hooked in Wheat- field. He’s engaged in oiling the bearings of the skates for the roller derbies held there. B-r-r this looks like a blizzard, why there’s Jerrie (Mrs. Fox) in Alaska of all places. She went there to help her husband fight the Russians with ice balls if there had been a war. They liked it so well they stayed. Now the crystal ball is in a warmer country, hmm. I believe it’s Africa where Jim is living. After putting a dent in the fender of his car, he was so broken up he went there where he could ride dependable elephants. Hawaii is the next country, who could be here? Oo-la-la-, its Edna, she is one of the famed Hula dancers of the isle. While out of the U. S. lets see who else could be found in the crystal ball. We find Marlene in Australia. She is the owner of the biggest rabbit and kangaroo ranch in the world. Her latest husband gave the ranch to her. Someone else who is farming is Melvin. He specializes in raising peanuts without shells on a farm in Peru. To get back to America, there’s Kay in New York as a model at Gimbels. Frances is in the big city, too. She has the job of teaching the young debutants the art of blushing. Bob is working at the Chevrolet plant in Detroit. He designed a new rocket powered model (his old Chevrolet didn’t go fast enough) for them, so they made him honorary manager. I see another classmate of yours dealing with cars—Charles. He invented a new-helicopter called the Schnekenbaker and owns a factory in South Bend for producing them. The crystal ball is finally bringing me back to this vicinity. I imagine you know these, but I’ll take a quick once over the occupations of the people who were faith- ful to Kouts. Joan Kelso, who lives here when she is not traveling, is the first woman manager of the “Globe Trotters”. Her husband managed the “Redheads” so, not to be outdone by him. she took over the Trotters. JoAnne Curtis is the official hostess at the legion hall and also the singer for the Harry James orchestra that is permanent- ly booked there. Sue 'Mrs. Henderson) took engineering at college and at present is in charge (her husband is her assistant) of straightening out the curves in highway 49 between Kouts and Valpo. “I believe that concludes the report on ou-, I mean, your classmates.” “Oh, you forgot to say what Harriett is doing, Pat mentioned. “Haven’t you guessed yet? I’m she,” the fortune teller said lifting her veil, “how do you think I knew so much about your classmates? You see. Bob, I, and the child- ren visited all of them last summer on our vacation.” Later that night, Pat left the school tired from the thrilling carnival but happy that she knew the where abouts of her old buddies.

CCaii Early one fall evening in the year 1961 the lights of K.H.S. are all ablaze. The students are rushing around preparing the gym for the annual carnival to be held that night. At 7:00 p.m. the first family to arrive for the affair is the Martin’s—Vic, Pat, and their two boys and a gir!. Pat is amazed at the changes in the school since ’51 when she graduated. The most surprising are the addition of several new rooms. There is now a vitamin room under the direction of Miss Punter (pupils are fed with vitamin pills of food nowdays), a soundproof room for Mr. Betz in which the band practices without driving the whole school crazy, the atom room under Mr. Board’s supervision where atomic energy is harnassed and used, special prop room for Mrs. Strassemeyer where scenery for plays is kept, an art exhibit room where Mr. Jensen’s student’s paintings are on display, and a printing office under the super- vision of Miss Dittmer for printing annuals. In the back of the school building is a new barn for Mr. Overton where the Ag. boys raise animals, and a stadium where Mr. French’s football team is the best in the state. The other new addition to the school is a television set in each room. Teaching is now done by television (what an easy life for teachers). Mr. McMurtry, in order to keep the sets in good working condition, has added the ability of TV repair men to his list of accomplishments. As the carnival progressed, Pat happens to pass by a fortune telling tent. Think- ing for a minute, she leaves the kids with Vic and enters. Seating herself across from the heavily veiled woman, Pat asks the woman if her powers would allow her to tell Pat what all of her classmates are doing. “Of course,’’ was the reply, “if you cross my palm with silver.” This done, the woman waved her hands over the crystal ball a few times and began in a monotone— “First, I see two sisters working together, they are Wilma and Velma. Wilma gives lectures on “The Art of Talking Southern” and Velma is her writer and publicity manager. Rose talks Southern, too, but in a different way. She plays Aunt Jemima on television. (Remember her portrayal of a Negro woman at the Senior play?) Next I see that Doris (Mrs. Wise) is always flying around the world with her husband, trying to break the records of speed. They are also raising two little jet pilots. I seem to see someone else who travels fast. It’s beginning to clear—oh, it’s Bill driving midget racers in France. He went to study art but found driving more profitable. Speaking of cars, I see Loretta driving around in a Cadillac. She is editor of the Chicago Herald American—quite a jump from Kostang editor. She rooms with Marilyn whose occupation is making false teeth for combs. To be in dentistry was always her ambition in life. Agnes, also in Chicago, is a famous taxidermist. She specializes in stuffing dates. (I wonder what kind) George is now in Washington D. C. as Secretary of State. Since he started hand- ling our foreign policies, the countries of the world all turned into democracies. I
