GloAA. Pn fikecif. As we gaze into the Crystal Ball we see the former Seniors of 51 and Goodness Sakes, look what s happening. The first of the class of 51 that comes into view is General Nioholas Huzjak, Commander in Chief of the Air Force. (Harry Truman finally promoted him.) The next one to appear in our vision is none but Mary Lou Wegeler who, since her graduation, is giving lessons to all FVeshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors on How to Pester Teachers . Laurence Saunders is the next person we see. Laurence is doing real well for himself, he teaches Shorthand at Vassar College for Women. Shirley Ruzick finally found her millionare. She now resides in a very large mansion (this side of Texas Corners.) Bob Ewert is the next of the olass that comes into the view. Bob has taken over teaching the Kindergarden at Mattawan, but this is not the only Job Bob has. He teaches women wrestlers how to look better on TV. Speaking of lady wrestlers. Marry Russel really has changed since she left good old Mattawan. It has been told that she is Madame Bone Crusher on the feature billing from Rainbow Arena. Our Crystal Ball now tells us that Charles Branoh has Just published his book on How to Be a Joker In 10 Easy Lessons . Let s all help Charlie out by buying a copyl Phyllis Klobucher now thinks that shd has a formula to end all wars. She thinks that all the soldiers should go home and the shock would be so great that the enemy would all drop dead, and we would win this war. Shirley Adams is the next person we see in our Crystall Ball. She now is milking cows at the Kalamazoo Creamery. She says that the exercice is good for the typing muscles in her fingers. Jerry Whipple is now holding the position formerly occupied by Mrs. Mange. He also is the girls basket-ball coaoh. (They win ALL of their games.) The Crystall Eall now brings us to Bill Kirk. Bill is the owner of a Bowling Alley in Lansing. Alice Overacker is now on Channel 7 on What1a My Line . We now se'e Nancy Munting having a school for all Baby Sitters. Frank Pontious has started a string of drive-in movies. His chain of movies reaches from coast to ooast. He got his idea when he wondered why there was not a drive-in movie in Mattawan. John Arbanas has us really surprised, he has recently become the political boss of Mattawan. His first Job was to elect a dog, Dog Catcher . Doris White thought she would make a career of baseball. She is now playing with the Kalamazoo Lassies. As the Crystal Eall travels on, it finds Harold Erininrer the new President of Michigan State College. 16
