Senior Prophecy When we, the class of 1950, left dear old Leaf River High School on May 26, 1950, we agreed to have a reunion in the lobby of the Aldorf-Wastoria Hotel in downtown Leaf River on May 26, I960. I am sure you are all interested in what we are all doing, so here it goes: PAT CAIN is now famous for her new and very well liked “Over the Face' hair style. JEAN COOK is now geography teacher at West Point. She is receiving a fabulous salary and is simply dying to see Mr. Klein to thank him for making her study so diligently. FRANK THOMSON is now Editor of the Chicago Nightly Tribune and owner of that great paper, The Leaf River Register. Who said he didn't learn anything by turning the crank of the “NEW Mimeograph machine in Room 4? BETTY LOU HIGHBARGER was named Miss Swoon Bait of I960. She received this title by serenading all the servicemen on leave in Hawaii. BETTY MAGEE My Goodness! Look who we find here along with Betty Lou. While Betty Lou is serenading with her “GE-TAR , Betty “Florence Nightingale' Magee is reviving Miss Highbarger's audience. MERLE BAWINKEL has made millions in his new business of reading to lonely old ladies by appointment. DELORES SIEMENS has recently uncovered the mysteries of Einstein’s theory on gravity and is lecturing at Harvard. VELMA ASCHE and her “Ash Cans' , the new all-girl orchestra, are now appearing at the Princess Opera Hall in downtown Leaf River. TED SEAWORTH, the matinee idol of all American women, has the leading role in the new film “The Romance in the Slaughterhouse. JANET ANDERSON, under Mrs. Asbury's supervision, slams each of the seven doors at Brink's in Boston to see that they close correctly. MAE HUNDERTMARK, who is head barker at Ringling Brothers Circus, has made many guest appearances on radio programs such as “People are Funny and “it Pays to be Ignorant . RUSSEL AUER has invented a radar controlled milk truck which can be run by a control box on his bedside tabic. FLORICE BOOMGARDEN has recently finished her most famous modern art painting “The Cow Descending the Loft Ladder , which is now on exhibition in the Myrtle Art Gallery. ALICE SNODGRASS is very busy putting her giggle to use as a siren on a tugboat on Lake Erie. She is very grateful to her friend, Mr. Leonard Klein, for sending in her application blank. JOHN GROVE, the well-known hot rod racer, won the famous race over Hoverland’s Humps. MARY LEE SCHREIBER has just returned from her last concert tour in the Arabian Desert. Her piano followed her by camel and progress halted now and then for practice. CAROL BOLEN opened her new night club in the loop of Leaf River. As the result of her many years of experience as a waitress, she recently patented Bolen’s Bunion Balm. With the above tales, you now know what the Great class of 1950 has been doing for the past ten years. We do hope the town of Leaf River is proud of the accomplishments of its graduates. 14
