Oh, I must tell you, I saw Jimmie Towne in Onawa last Saturday and had a long talk with him. His folks have retired and he is farming the old home place. Jim couldn't stick to being a bachelor, so in 1952 he fell head over heels for a pretty girl from Onawa. They were married the following year and now have one girl. Ji.m says she looks just like her mother did when he knew her during his last year in high school. The last letter I received from Arlene was quite full of news. After she was graduated, Arlene became a teacher in Nebraska. Give her the wide open spaces. she said. After two years of teaching, Arlene found the man of her dreams. She said he was better any day than Roy Rogers. They live on a ranch in Nebraska and Arlene really enjoys her herd of horses. Of course her favorite will always be Dynamite. I must answer Arlene's letter soon and let her know how good old Sioux is coming. She is coming home for a vacation soon, so maybe the Class of 1949 will be able to have a reunion. Oh my goodness, but I did fall asleep and I haven't done a thing on this class prophecy. Say, was that ever a swell dream. Now I've got some wonderful ideas, so I had better write them down before I forget them. TO THE SENIORS The seniors have a class of five, All very merry and quite aliveg Very ambitious and helpful they-- With plenty of time for fun and play. Now take Jimmie Towne, A boy who's funny as a clown. We'll next take Esta Bean, She's quite the best I've ever seen. No one's as free and happy as Ramona Gahm, She's quite as gentle as a lamb. Now let's see, there is Nine Jones, In her work she never groans. Last of all is Arlene Rowe, Into a fine lady she will grow. This is the sentiment of us all, We'll surely miss you all, next fall. 33

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY OF 1948-1949 fTen years after graduation, ' As I sit gazing into the fireplace, I am growing sleepy. Here I am, supposed to write the prophecy for the Senior Class of 1949. Goodness, how do I know what they will be doing ten years from now? Those dancing flames don't give me any ideas and I have looked at this crystal ball for hours and I still don't see a thing. I wonder how the gypsy woman does it? Well, I mustn't go to sleep as I shall have to write something down. Where am I? My, how things have changed. I wonder how I got down town. Well, anyway, there is my car and I might as well be at home helping Mother. Now, I know it's Little Sioux, and here comes Nina Jones down the street pushing a baby carriage. Nina first spent a year taking a beauty course so she could be ready for any financial em- ergency. She married Douglas Burns the June after fin- ishing the beauty course, and now enjoys her homemaking. She and Douglas have a fine baby boy, Douglas Jr. Nina lives at the Burns' Home where she takes care of Douglas' Mother. No more River Sioux for Nina. Well, there she goes into Alton's store for her groceries. Guess I'1l turn on the car radio and see what is on. Ah! There's the latest song hit, andy my favorite, too. I wonder who the singer is. She has a very nice voice and surely sounds familiar. Well, for goodness sake, it's Ramona Gahm. So she finally got to New York and has be- come a successful radio star! The papers say she may be another .Tudy Canova. Her mother says that Ramona has finally decided to marry that wealthy cream station magnet Eddie Johnson. Good luck to you, Rarnona. Maybe I should run out and see how Esta is while I am in town. She and Edmond McDaniel farm the Harry Baldwin place now that Baldwins have moved to town. Esta married Edmond in June of 1950 and they have a nice home and two lovely children, Edmond Jr. and Louise. The McDaniel family just recently returned from a vacation in Florida. Esta said she enjoyed it very much, but there is just no place like Iowa and home. Esta and Ed are driving their new 1959 Nash. It's really a beautiful car. They were able to discard Ed's Ford finally. It was quite a relic. 32
