HARLEY WILD AUDREY BELLING Through the year there has been something lack of 51 a bigger success Tommy always entered in to school activities with such enthusiasm that our experiences Wlth him are more than happy mem or1es We all like to think of Thomas A Wem berger as a model after which to mold our lives. ing that would have made all activities of the Class PRUPHECY Here we are aboard the good ship U-235 on our way to Alaska to participate in the big uranium rush. On board we meet many of our old classmates. Bill Bachhuber, the captain of the ship, is conducting us around. While doing so he informs us of an episode yesterday in which Gerry McGilsky, while leaning over the rail during a seige of sea- sickness, fell overboard. Bob Karsten and Vince Lamers shipmates, happened along in time to jump in and save her. Ralph Smith, a famous meat packer, volunteered his ser- vices as doctor while Maryanne Hussli as- sisted him as nurse. We have a talk with Diane Glenn, renown- ed business tycoon. She tells us that on the way out from Milwaukee she visited the enor- mous cattle ranch operated by Ierry Weiss and Alan Blank located in several of the northern counties of Wyoming. The engineer on her train was Ray Callies. Diane's book- keeper lune Ruecker Zimmerman and secre- tary Bonnie Hanson accompanied her. Bon- nie tells us that Doris Krueger would like to have come, but her duties as forest ranger prevented her from doing so. Lewis Garms, Diane's chauffeur, tells us that just before he came out here he visited Ed Schalinski, star forward on Wisconsin's basketball team and Alan Ehrhardt, who is taking a course deal- ing with the psychology of the bovine brain at the University of Wisconsin. We hear that Roman Roll and Hank Schabel, ship's steve- dores, while checking the life boats yester- day, found a stow-away by the name of Car- lie Magyar. It's getting on toward evening now, and we begin to hear the music of Gordie Stuck- meyer's orchestra, drifting out of the ball- room. We enter just in time to hear a trom- bone solo by Iudy Genzmer. A beautiful girl in a strapless, backless, low neckline eve- ning gown sidles up to us. We find that her name is leanette Wendorff, girl vocal soloist with Gordie and his band. We wander into the cocktail lounge and spy Danny Stipano- vic, Lee Grabow, and Ted Kahlow at the bar talking to cocktail shaker Don Bilgrien. Dan- ny, Lee, and Ted, on leave from the Army tell that Lts. Tony Zuelsdorf and Zark Kahlow were the pilot and co-pilot on the plane that brought them to Seattle. Tony remarked that he had seen Sgt. Harry Reese on leave in Los Angeles. nineteen

We wander into the dining room, find an empty table, and seat ourselves. We are waited on by Lilas Mae Sheberl who gives us the information that Roger Fink is the ship's chief cook and bottle washer. We decide not to eat any dinner and take a stroll on deck instead. We see Margaret Ringle and Carol Balthazor sitting in deck chairs admiring the beautiful full moon. We catch two honey- mooners spooning on deck and find on sep- arating them that their names are Dr. and Mrs. Steve Mann. Mrs. Mann is the former Dorothy Rosenkranz. Steve just graduated from Marquette dental school and is going to Alaska to set up a practice. Iack Pichotta, who graduated with Steve, is doing a brisk business pulling Elk's teeth from old Elk. Fur- ther along the deck we see Courtney Schwertz and Friedhart Lentz deep in conver- sation. We join their spiel and find that they are on their way to Alaska to set up a home- stead. We wander through a hatch and find ourselves descending the stairs to the boiler room, where we meet Curtiss Becker and Iohn Scharpf tending the boilers. We find our way back on deck where we bump into Rose- mary Schinderle and Rosemary Volkmann who plan to go into the undertaking business in Alaska. Our conversation is interrupted by a commotion down the deck a ways. On investigating we find ourselves in the midst of a group of girls consisting of Rosemary Czoschke, Ieanette Wendorf, Marvelyn Zeh- ren, and Caroline Weninger. On inquiring we find that the Kansas City School of Busi- ness is conducting this group of their students on a tour of Alaska in order to investigate job opportunities. We spy, hanging by his heels from an overhead wire, trying to achieve an unusual camera angle, Life Photographer Victor Mayer, being sent to Alaska on a spe- cial photo assignment. Time to retire. On our way to our quarters, we meet Vivian Schellpfeffer and Carol Frings. Vivian is going to Alaska to join her husband who is stationed with the army there. Carol, who was a famous chorus girl in New York, has accepted a position in a Fairbanks night club. On our way to breakfast, we meet cr group of studious looking people consisting of Myr- tle Youngbeck, Superintendent of Fairbanks Public schools: Ed Grosnick, Manual Arts teacher: and Grace Boegel, who specializes in teaching baby seals how to swim. We find that they are on their way to newly acquired positions in the Fairbanks Public school sys- tem. After breakfast we take a walk over to the swimming pool. On our way we meet a wo- man all decked out in sheepskins, sweaters, jackets, boots and the like. During an inter- esting conversation with her we find that her name is Vivian Bogenschneider. well known adventuress, who is on her way to explore the frozen recesses of Alaska. On approach- ing the swimming pool, we see two interest- ing forms in bathing suits engaged in an earnest conversation. We find that the male form is Oliver Iacobson and the female, Ar- lene Neumeyer. They tell us that they are on their way to Alaska to investigate lumber prospects: Iac, for his huge lumber com- pany located in Brownsville, and Arlene, for her husband who is an eminent carpenter. Suddenly we hear shouts of joy. We see a familiar girl and ask her what the commo- tion is about. She introduces herself as Agnes Kluge, well-known designer of clothes for dogs of distinction. We find that land has been sighted. As we pull into port we sight the great fleet of fishing craft owned by Har- ley Wild, salmon fisherman. Leaving the ship we spy an odd looking prospector dressed in bearskin and caked with dirt. On wiping away the mud we find it is Bill Hurst. He tells us he has talked to engineers, Donald Lackas and Dean Krenz, who are laying out a uranium mine near Iuneau. Hearing the squeal of brakes we whirl around to see a taxicab parked up a telephone pole. Who should step out but Shir- ley Robertson. She eases the cab down and drives us to the Penguin Hotel owned and operated by Delores Schmidt and Dorothy Giese. We go up to the desk and ask Iane Schimelpfennig, the receptionist, if she has a room for us. She gives us the key to room 13. We take the elevator, operated by Delores Rosin, to the second floor where we are met by Delores Stortz who is carrying a bundle of sheets and pillow cases. We freshen up and decide to take in some of the scenery. We walk down main street noticing that most of the business establishments are tav- erns, called The Three Musketeers Bar and discover Betty Schmidbauer trying to revive a half dead prospector. Betty tells us that Marilyn Krapfl, Stella Nellessen, and her- self are the proprietors. All quiets down and two dancing girls come out on the floor. The music starts and the girls begin a hula. Bet- ty gives their names as Ardis Giese and Har- riet Farrington. On our way back to the hotel we meet Di- anne Schalinski, secretary to Don Lackas and Dean Krenz. She is just leaving a hardware store where she purchased some drill bits. Don broke his old ones while drilling for uranium. Iust before we enter the hotel, we pass a small bakery owned and operated by Violet Ehlers. Lucille Loest, now on her honeymoon. is just leaving the bakery alongside a walk- ing package carrier, breaking him in early. We go back to the hotel and after a deli- cious dinner, cooked and served by Audrey Belling, we retire to dream of the many epi- sodes that have occurred in the last several days. Good Night. twenty
