Baccalaureate services were held in the school auditorium on May 15, 1951. Commencement, the event which all the seniors had been looking forward to, became real on May 17. SENIOR CLASS ?ROPHECY One winter day, early in the year of 1951, George Ketley, one of our well-known dignified Seniors, came to school withi n of a series of let- ters from his brother Frank. These letters from Frank, who was on duty with the United States Navy in Japan, were soon to become popular with the Lamont high School students. While on leave in Tokoyo, Frank was persuaded by a Japanese woman to have his fortune told. The fortuneteller's powers were so great that Frank ventured to ask her what would haupen to the Senior Class of 1950. She made the following prediction for the year of 1971. Gene Storrer, who was always a studious sort of fellow, has become internationally known as the only statesman in the world able to cope with Russian diplomats. He is now the American Ambassador to Rwxna. His great speeches have persuaded the Russian people so greatly that Joseph Stalin is now the head garbage collector in the Sanitation Department of Moscow. Dale Ott finds himself in no better standing in 1971 than in high school days. Halas now become president of the Lonely Hearts of America Club, advertising through Clint, Texas. He has greatly improved this radio station by adding commercials of a greater variety. Rosemarie Wucherer is teaching school in what is now Free Germany. She has comaletely revolutionalized the German way of teaching by her ability to hold all men students in a spell--caused by the admiration of her beauty. She gives all the credit of this wonderful ability to her year's stay at Lamont, Kansas. Doris Anne Winzeler, nationally known as Queen of the Follies, set all theatrical records for box office returns. She has acquired many ardent admirers due to her beautiful operatic voice. Smm critics report she is competing with Margaret Truman as the most sought operatic singer Mary Adel om, of all times.

In the lop-sided,,crazy life with his lovable and jolly wife, Mary Adel Ott. immediately upon leaving high school, received several very good offers from Hollywood movie studios. She finally decided to go to work for Metro-Goldyn-Mayer, the lucky company! After being e remarkable and ,famous moving picture star, she decided to leave her career to become a housewife, and a great factor for this decision was due to her kind-hearted sympathy to the other great motion phxure mndios who had all gone broke. lt seemed that the American citizens would not attend a movie unless Mary Miniature, her motion picture name,was in the cast. However, Mary is now the proud and loving mother of seven fine children. The Ketley's eldest son, Georgie Junior, is now reco vearirig from the loss of his four front teeth, the result of an unfortunate ac- cident on a grapevine. 7
