SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY On June 4, 1966, Miss Jackie Dahm answered the big question concerning aviation on the $64,000 Question. When asked why she took up aviation, she replied, Flying is the quickest way I know of to get to Missouri. Miss Dahm spent the money locating all the students who were graduated from Lovington High in 1956. One year later Miss Dahm again attracted public attention by having a story featured in LIFE magazine. The story, which gave a full report of the achievements of her former classmates, follows: During my stay in New York I found Dick Carter operating a famous men's clothing store, and he was employing Fern Newberry as manager of the Complaint Department. When I visited the CBS Television Studio, Sandra Winings, the secretary, took me on a tour. As we passed Studio No. 1, Gene Noland was being mobbed by a group of teen-age girls following his appearance on Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town. We found Wanda Ruff waiting for her cue. She has replaced Annie Oakley, and she rides her famous horse. Trigger III. Wanda can be seen over Channel I3. In the evening I was guest panelist for What's My Line? Kenneth Sutton stumped the panel with his occupation, a weed puller for BETTER HOMES and GARDENS. During the commercial I was surprised to find Don Wood replacing the peach for Remington Rand. My next stop was Washington D. C., where I visited the first lady senator from Illinois, Miss Donna Schuetz. While I was still in Washington, I attended a banquet honoring Danny Fread, who had been named the 'Second Einstein of the Twentieth Century.' W inte r was approaching, so I decided to spend the next few weeks in Florida. I developed a severe sunburn. I was advised to go to a specialist, Carol Kearney, who had discovered a cure for sunburn--stay out of the sun. Working with Carol was her faithful friend and private nurse, Anamary Schable. I noticed in the newspaper that Mary Goad had been named 'Lady Wrestler of 1966.' When she was interviewed, she said, 'I guess I'm like Samson. My hair gives me strength.' I was told that Jackie Davis was in Florida also, but at the time she was on a Navy destroyer as the guest of Chuck Enloe. Janet Grabb was always known for her ambition to be a missionary, and I found her with the Bongo Bongo Tribe in Africa. On returning to the U. S., I found Don Oyer with the Shrine Circus as Jumbo, the giant. He told me he had been growing ever since I fed him Rexall Gro Pills. As I passed a newsstand in Hollywood, I saw a picture of Roger Wildman on the cover of ESQUIRE magazine. He had made headlines when he was ap- pointed chief selector of blondes for ESQUIRE. With my trip almost completed, I considered buying a new car. While I was investigating in Chicago, I found Karen Grant co-owner of the Hudson Motor Company. Listening to the radio in my new Hudson, I heard Jennett Weakly, a disc jockey for WGN, playing hillbilly records by Alice Willoughby on Decca Label. A news flash interrupted the broadcast to announce that Eddie Maxwell had won the race at the Indianapolis Speedway. I checked my '56 yearbook and found my search completed. I suppose most of you are wondering about the teachers at L.H.S. Ithink that is better left unsaid.
