SENICDR CLASS PROPHECY I, being the editor of the San Francisco World Journal, have nominated myself for the post of locating a senior class somewhere in the United States. Having heard so much about the class of '53 of Louisville, Nebraska, I thought you would like to hear about them. From reliable sources, I have heard that this class is a fine group of upstanding citizens who have become a credit to their country. As I drove through California, I found Larry Robbins, the leading rider at the Belmont Race Track. It seems he and Eddie Arcaro are vying for jockey of the year honors. Driving on through Hollywood, I saw the premiere of a new movie. Guess who was starring in it? Janice Larson, of course. They always did say she'd take Liz Taylor's place. l stopped in Reno at the famous Ronnie Hinkle 's night club, the El Rocairio. Who should be billed as top entertainers? None other than the Can Can sisters, Davis and Inman. I didn't run into anymore of the famous class until I drove through their Alma Mater state. It seems that there are several homebodies left. Wanda Isaac is riding back and forth to work in Omaha on the bus. She is still waiting for Gene and pays on their trailer faithfully in Springfield. Marian and Jim are living the usual life of a married couple in Louisville. Eileen is married and has moved to Avoca. She is raising afamily of little Eileens and Richs. I ran into Steve Gray on the streets of Louisville. I-Ie told me he was running a mink farm to supply mink coats for all of his wives. Talk about harems! While driving through the open countryside a red flash about blinded me, it was only Pat Ken- nedy. He had been out plowing his corn and was rushing home to one of Donna's delicious meals. I then drove on down into Missouri where I ran into Bobbie Heard. She told me she had been trying to make her own home brew, but the revenue agents just wouldn't leave her alone. I found that Jerry Partridge was working for her. It seems he had finally put his feet to good use, smashing grapes. When passing through Washington D. C. , I saw Ken Dobbs campaigning. He is running for sen- ator so he can try to get this Missourian talk to be a required subject in all public schools. In Boston, I took a tour of the World's largest mattress factory. I discovered it's co -owners were Schomaker, Ossenkop, and Meyers. It seems each plays an important part in their business. Larry handles all the money, Jim is the inspector and Fred tests the products. I decided as long as I was going through New York, I would make a tour of the sports arenas. Here I found Don Headley and Bruce Hirsch. They are the play makers on the Globetrotters team, even though they do have to use a little greaseblack. At Madison Square Garden, Lou and Lloyd are known as the toughest tag team in wrestling. At the Hanover Model Agency, I saw Lucille Graham, Arlene Cowperthwait, and Ellen Snod- grass waiting in line. Yes, they were back for another try. Standing in the harbor, Iwaved good -bye to Ron Reveillac and John Hammons. They had join- ed the Navy and were leaving to go overseas. Ron was going for the mere pleasure of seeing the world, while John was going to give another certain guy some competition. I had seen enough of New York and decided to drive back towards the West. I passed through Detroit. There Dick Schoeppner has become the top mechanic in the Ford Plant. When driving through Minnesota, I found John Worthman as head doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. He has two very efficient helpers. Carol Sjogren and Norma Addleman are his right-hand nurses. Joyce and Lauren are happily married in Minnesota. Joyce has learned to become a loving farm wife. I now had seen all of this senior class but one. Where was she? Maybe she was out of the coun- try. Yes, Marie Anne had gone to Paris as a representative from the U. S. to take part in a conference on world affairs. The deadline is nearing, I have only six hours to get back to San Francisco and make the press. I feel my trip has been worth while and I know you will enjoy reading about this famous class of '53,

CLASS HISTORY In 1941, twenty-one freshly scrubbed little angels, hiding behind mothers skirts, filed into the reception room of Miss French, a smiling, young teacher, who we left all worn -out and bedraggled at the end of the year. Much to the girls' delight, Don Headley graced us with his presence by entering this year. Our second and third grades were spent in the capable hands of Mrs. Reichart. The class decreased in size during these two years as John Worthman, Janice Larson, Eleanor Kimbrell, Paul Kilhorn, Phylis Marcoe, Jimmy Ellige, Jerry Jo Bolden, and Shirley Masters departed from our company. Carol Sjogren, Joyce Hutchison and Ken Dobbs boosted our total to 17. In our fourth and fifth years, John Worthman, Janice Larson, Dixie Schrader and Shirley Masters joined our ranks guided by our loving and understanding Mrs. Funke. In the sixth grade our class was divided between Mrs. Dahlberg and Miss Knerl. Ken Dobbs left for Missouri and Carl Weimer joined us. Mrs. Koop then took on the task of taming our harrowing class in the seventh grade. Don Headley, Shirley Masters and Raymond Hendrix left the class mid-year, while the rest of us struggled on. Since we were considered so intelligent, our eighth grade class was allowed to associate with the upper bracket. We passed intermittently to our classes with the high school. Although there was a general resent of our presence, we strongly held our own. Carl Weirner left us and Randolph Burt, Wanda Issac and red headed Bob Herring reinforced our class. 1 lim Ossenkop, Norma Addleman, Arlene Cowperthwait, Lucille Graham, Ellen Snodgrass, Pat Kennedy, Donna Booze, Marie Anne Duerr, IOAHI1 Sheehan and Lloyd Reeson survived the brutal initiation with the rest of us. We actually had to eat raw eggs! Marie Anne and Steve must have been particularly hungry, because they asked for second helpings. Lucky Bob Herring and Randolph Burt escaped this torture by departing. As sophomoric sophomores of '51, we accumulated two new members, John Hammons and Don Headley. However, IoAnn Sheehan and Richard Revillac preferred Weeping Water and freedom, respectively. The waitresses and waitors for the Jr. -Sr. Banquet were: Lorraine Woehler, Norma Addleman, Mary Ellen Davis, Eileen Urwin, Joyce Hutchison, Donnie Headley, Pat Kennedy, Bruce Hirsch, John Worthman and Jim Ossenkop. Nearing our goal as Juniors, we lost Donna Booze to Springfield. After a successful produc- tion of our class play, 'Caught in the Vil1ian's Web , Lorraine Woehler departed from our class, married Wayne Cherry and settled down in Colorado. Ron Hinkle and Larry Schomaker had the privilege of working with us on our magnificent Jr. -Sr. Banquet, Desert Oasis . Now, as Seniors, we total thirty mature, captivating ladies and gentlemen. For the past school term we have been trying to convince our teachers of this fact. A new student, 'Bob- bie Heard, was a great asset to our outstanding class play, Desperate Ambrose . Our art editor of the Lion's Tale, Chuck Reynolds, deprived us of his talents by leaving school mid- term. Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises have ended a twelve year struggle to the top. We want to wish the Juniors the luck and happiness that we have known throughout our educa- tion in dear old L. H. S.
