Senior Class Prophecy It is now the year 2000 and it's time to look at the clots o 1987 to see what they're up to It's been 13 years since they have graduated, so what are they doing with their lives I Stede Underwood, after a few years of farming with his dad, found out that he uxu not the farming type, so he packed up and moved to New York City You won't believe this, but he can be seen all over the Big Apple in the centerfold of a magazine What magazine you ask? Why Farm Journal of course. You can take the boy out of the farm, but can't take the farm out of the boy. Also in New York we find Darren Koester living the good life. He us the proud owner and manager of a women‘s lingerie store. He only sells articles he finds in his car1!! Traieling through Chicago ue hear that Mike Schlotterback us a millionaire. He used his expertise and experience to invent and mark a new product. His commercial u as seen on TV just last week Ever wonder what to do about those CERTAIN neck problems? Not your average aches or pains, but those nasty little marks that show up after a weekend extrai aganza Well my friends, no more panicing, no more sueating. no more worrying what other people will think Just use Nik de Bruiser News Flash' While driving her brand new car to the drive through barber shop, Rebecca Westblade lock ed her car door, which in turn locked the car s wheels. Just before she crashed, a witness to the accident heard her scream I can 1 believe they lied to me! After high school Wynn Alexander became a professional featherweight lifter He is now up to 3 toothpicks. We also heard that he was a professional dog trainer — Rufn work Wynn!! Do you remember Roger Dodger's Auto Supp'y? Well, Dwight Thronson ran him out of business a few years back. He now has a booming business, with his slogan known nation wide, Drive Right with Dwight People were beginning to wonder if Doug Benoit uould ever live up to the reputation of his sisters as be- ing big names in the news, but Doug did iL’ At the 1999 summit convention in Geneva, Doug mass murdered every dignitary from every country. Talk about being known world wide.'! Diana McFartane started her own library-. No doubt she got her book supply from her overdue books in high school By the way. her library is called My Private Collection. After training with the Police Academy. Kelly Ford came back to Mankato to become the Jeuell County Sheriff He is fearlessly dedicated to the county. He rids the county of the unjustices ailing it, instead of just chasing high schoolers around for parties Since her husband is in the radiation field, Carla Peterson wanted to be near him most of the time, but she couldn 't bear to leave her career as a fashion designer. So — she now designs radioactive-proof suits. These suits are tough and durable yet elegant enough to wear to the fanciest parties Mark Schlotterback is now the owner of the UTE Theatre in Mankato Mark and the UTE are now famous world wide because of his managing abilities. He made a lot of changes, but the one that made him so famous was his ingenious idea to pay people to watch the movie. Mark admits he's not rich, but he sure is famous!! Tessa Kimminau left for Colorado during the summer. She led us to believe that she was going to college to study to be a dental assistant, actually she was just looking for a soon-to be rich dental graduate She found one and now is married to one of richest the dentists in the United States. Tessa doesn 't have to work of course so she just plays with all her kids and eats, which were her favorite past times in high school. Missy Lyons has become known world wide as a fashionable hairdresser How did she become so famous and well known? Why of course, she created a new style for Princess DU! After her basketball career in college, Sharon Grout started a scientific experiment in Antartica. Sharon has always been big on Save the Seals and when she sou those darling creatures bouncing a ball on their noses, an idea struck her — why not teach them how to apply this special talent She taught them how to play basketball Troy May uas found sunning his buns in California. What is he doing? Are you kidding, do you really have to ask? He's the world's best playboy!! Jimmy Bothwell isn 't having much luck lately. His dream of being a rich banker was shattered last week uhen he had to file for bankruptcy. Why, you ask? Jimmy was such a good money manager in high school, but the one mistake he made uas trusting a friend. You see, Jimmy was the one who loaned Mark the money to rebuild and run the UTE. We couldn't find Karla Ross anywhere, but we did find out what she had been doing. As a very famous Interior Ifesigner, Karla uas assigned to many important jobs. Her last job was redecorating the White House Karla has always been known to do things her own way so she redid the Green Room, fushia, the Gold Room, bright purple, and so on. Needless to say this uas her very last job — and suddenly disappeared Eduardo went back to Spam after graduating but he couldn't bear to be away from the glorious USA, so he came back He is nou teaching a Spanish class at MHS, very wise with all the Spanish exchange students — we almost require a second language Amy Thompson is a C P A., and a lawyer, . . . and a secretary. . and a part-time cop, . and a hair stylist. and a mechanic, and a bartender, . and a mortition, . . . and she always did try to do eierything in high school, didn 't she!!!
