C ss Poem Toward Our Future Our future looms before us From high school days we part, We only wish to leave these words Before life's chores we start. To God we are thankful For strong bodies and minds, And a chance to gain knowledge So a better life we can find. To our parents we are grateful For time and effort spent, In loving guidance helping us To accomplish as we went. Our teachers we are thanking For giving help, thoughts and praise, For fun we've had and knowledge gained Throughtout our high school days. Dear friends we shall remember And many others, too, Who have done many little things That helped to see us through. We cannot count the memories Or occasions we recall, But they have made school days Exciting and gay for all. Now as a class we are leaving To start down the road Called 'The Future', where we know Our dreams and plans are stowed.

Class Prophecy In l96h, I acquired a job as drummer with Kieth Kreft's well known band. Its motto was nthe crafty music of Kreftn. We were to start a road tour through the United States and Mars, and the band's first stop was Lytton, Iowa. Of course, Lytton brought back many fond memories, for in 1954, we graduated from the high school here. We decided to see if any old classmates were living in their old home town and went to a farm a few miles south of Lytton to visit Darwin Matter, who, we had heard was living here. We were sure we had made some mistake because the directions took us to a huge diary farm with very white build- ings. But soon we noticed Darwin walking toward us and decided it was no mistake after all. We were quite curious and he said that he owned a chain of diary farms-some even on Mars. Also he told us that all this had been accomplished because he had stayed single. Naturally, Kieth agreed that that definitely was the road to success. We wanted to stay longer, but Kieth didn't want to be late for his first engagement in the Lytton Stork Club. The next day we decided to do more sightseeing. As we walked along the street we came to a huge skyscraper office building. We noticed the name UMayo and Mayo, Inc., Trucking Firmn, on the sign in front. Our cur- iosity was aroused, so we walked in and asked if we could see Mr. Mayo. We waited and waited and finally were ushered into nMr. Mayo, President'sn office. And, just as we suspected, there sat Sharon Mayo behind a huge desk with a cigar in his mouth. He told us about his business. He said he had lost count of the trucks he owned, and he owned some rocket trucks for trips to Mars and back, but nthis was relitively a new field and quite undeveloped yetn. We were about to leave when Kieth asked him what the other Mayo stood for on the sign. He laughed and said it stood for his wife, Doris, who was vice-president. Our next stop was Odebolt, Iowa. Just before we reached Odebolt, the band bus had a flat tire. We walked to a farmhouse nearby to call a filling station. And there we saw the former Mary Lou Everts, now McKinney. We talked about old times and in the meantime tried to count the children. She also told us that as a sideline and a hobgy she and Glenn sold Mercury helicopters. Before we left we bought one for the rest of the road tour, being convinced that they were much faster. After completeing our engagement in Odebolt we traveled on to Ames. Here we saw Erma Dee Landsness. She said that she had been conducting re- search here. She-told us that she was a professor here, had married a prof- fessor, appeared on the radio and TV once in a while and had just developed a business man's lunch. It consisted of three pills--one for the appetizer, one for the main course and one for dessert. She said this was designed es- pecially for busy people who didn't want to take time out to eat. Kieth and I decided that we would never be too busy to eat. Our next stop was Fort Riley, Kansas to complete an engagement for the servicemen there. While here, we saw Vernon Batz and asked him what he was doing here. He pointed to his stripes and said he was a sergeant. He told us that his job was to break in the new recruits. WBreak 'em in the Batz wayn was the motto of the camp. Vernon had been offered many opportunities for advancement but had refused them all because he liked his work so well. We left Fort Riley and traveled to Washington, D. C. Naturally, while here we wanted to shake hands with the President, so first we decided to see a congressman and have a little influence behind us. Verne Hillmer surprised us very much when we were taken to a congressman's office. We asked him what he was doing here. He quite disgustedly answered that Q5 was a Democratic congressman. ,We were quite embarressed and hastily apologized. He told us that we might like to see the man that he was working with on a committee right now. We agreed and he took us to the Secretary of Agriculture's office. we waited a while and soon a prosperous looking man bustled through the door. It was none other than Harlan Schade. After discussing the farm situation a while, he invited us over to his mansion for dinner, apologizing that the servants were gone, but his wife would get dinner. We wanted to see his wife, but we had to leave.
