Horton Simons T SENIGR PROPHECY I was flashing through space by rocket ship in this dazzling new world of 1970, taking a sentimental journey back to Mehlville. When I asked the time of our arrival, you can imagine the shock I received when Pilot Lorraine Spear, the girl who was so interested in the airplane fad, turned and said that we would land in a few minutes. When I set my feet on my native soil, I was confronted by a character in overalls who was refueling the air vehicle. Why, June Franke, I wouldn't have known you! I said. It seems that June gave up her business career and became interested in Shell products While we were talking a queer fellow in purple satin knee breeches offered to take my bags to a taxi He was such an odd looking creature that I remarked about it June explained that it was none other than Leroy Flamm model for fam ous fashion designer Lois Grassmger and guinea pig to her whims As I stepped down into the luxurious Speed mobile, a new Jet propelled car invented by Raymond Johnson, the driver said Where to lady? That deep vibrant voice was familiar and I recognized its owner through the rear view mirror It was Ralph Mason We whizzed by the skyscrappers that had been erected on the fertile farmlands of the past Finally we reached Mehlvillian Arms largest hotel west 2 f4 FC: .wfa W' il PIWI7 as. j if X EIIEJKQGIM D 5 , . .7 1 gf My I 1 -'1 'Arr' ,351 W 5 .wxmf 'L ,Mg fi!

Floor show for the evening was furn- ished by Betty Klingemann and her pet mon- key, Fifi Betty purchased her little protege from Carl Stiebel, still an expert in monkey business. Betty's act has been such a hit on her cross-country tours that she hired Kathleen N euwirth to record her appointments. The first day of my visit, I went on a spree - a shopping spree, that is. While browsing through the John A. Hicks Department Store, I saw super saleswomen Arline Weiss and Louise Lindel trying to sell to bewildered cus tomers the famous Dorothy Snyder creation shoeless soles Scurrying on to the book counter I spied an attractive sign advertising the current best seller Fool s Diary by Hor ton Simons After purchasing an autographed copy I received a most pleasant surprise when I bumped into Audrey Schlesing We decided to go to the nearby drug store to reminisce over a soda Audrey explained that this thriving enterprise was a branch of the Norman Holz warth pharmaceutical chain Behind the foun tam was Doris Hagemann, who insisted upon serving us her sensational concoction Atomic Fizz Audrey told me that Doris was voted Miss Soda Jerk of 1970 I then asked my companion to tell me the fates of others in our 49 class, this being the real purpose of my visit Here is the tale she revealed through their combined efforts Dr John Fischbach and his competent nurse Janet Eves discovered a remedy for neurosis of the heart commonly called love sickness When Glenn Erb and Don Belknap arent repairing helicopters they concentrate on their hobby of collecting antique automobiles Their latest addition is an old beat up 1949 Buick Bob Alexander s superb pitching has been the rea son for the pennant winning streak of the St Louis Browns while Al Suter has acquired an I always knew those boys would come throughj Alf Cederquist IS raking in millions as president of radio station DRIP He spends many fascinating week ends hunting wild game in Africa tHe hasn t caught up with me yetj Sue Frank, who is known professionally as Page Eighteen ' Il I9 ' , . . . . . , it 7 ' If - . a 9 ' s , - u s n , . .

RALPH MILLER ELLEN MUEHLHAUSER WILLIAM GEBHARDTJ DORIS ALEXANDER BOB LOHMAN As battle-scarred participants in the annual duel between ignorance and learning, the 1948-49 Junior Class of Mehlville High boasts a colorful past. Some credit for such a proud past is undoubtedly due to wise choice of spon sors and ofHcers who were willing to strive to ward perfection in class activities. This year the juniors re-elected Johnny Westhouse for his second term as president, Dick Moersch as vice-president, Betty Sneed as secretary, Mar- ilyn Altenbernd as treasurer, and Bill Alten- bernd as Council representative The sponsors of the previous year, Mr William Schmidt and Mrs Martha Freeman, were again chosen As timid Freshmen the class presented its first contribution to Mehlville social life a Val entine s Dance That year they also established the precedent of an annual spring excursion by visiting Springfield, Ill., and the reconstructed village at New Salem State Park. In 1948 the state capital at Jefferson City was visited by P1190 T'Zx't'llfj' sf' the classg they stopped Off at Bagnell Dam On the return home. This year as juniors the class journeyed to Hannibal, the home Of Mark Twain. Notice should be taken of the spunk of the class in general. Last spring each member of the class was given fifty cents to be invested and increased by Odd jobs during the sum- mer. The following fall, each memberls prin- cipal and interest was returned to the swelling class treasury.

Quite to the contrary. the class, generally, looks upon dignified sim- plicity and earnest endeavor as highest virtues.

In the spring of 1948, the class spon- sored the Coronation Dance. As Sophomores, in September 1948, they elected offiicers as follows: president, Sondra y-Four ,fk,h-1 Peterson V1C9p1'9S1Cl6Ht Jelry Vlnyard sec retary Albert Laudel treasurer Wesson D1v ers representatlve on Board of Councxlors Carol Muench kmg Leroy Gapsch and queen Barbara Holden Durlng the year they spon sored three successful dances hncludlng a Chrxstmas Dancej and numerous candy sales SQUIRES CSJOPII OII1 OFQS JIM KLINKHARDT KATHERINE ILKO FRANKLIN GEBHARDT CONNIE VOST HERMAN HARDT FLORENCE VERMILLON FRANK BUCKLEY DOROTHY CHAMBLISS VERNON WIETHOP TRULA PONDER GEORGE KRAMLICH HELEN BLOMKER PAUL PRUETT DIANA DOPPLICK KENNETH THIERJUNG ARBELEEN WILKERSON GLENN MUELLER PAT BIGHAM GILBERT ROSE DELORES MURRY JIM SPONIK EILEEN MYERS BRUCE MCARTHY PEGGY JONES ROBERT RAYOT EVELYN STUCKMEYER CHARLES BRATTON CAROL MUENCH BETTY MILD BEVERLY MASON CAROLYN MUNN PHIL CORNELI RUTH DANIEL NORMA KLINGEMANN The sophs have gxven enthus1ast1c support to the var1ous school programs lncludmg ath let1cs muslc and soclal functlons Class mem bers are often heard to express 1nterest ln act1v1t1es that are usually reserved for upper classmen Mehlvllle may look forward to two more yeals of useful servlce from th1s alert class Pagv T mtg F1 r fx I a ky I H . n ' , X510 , jig ' VV K , I t 7, , xx -.

On April 27 the Hollywood Theatre Guild pre- sented fhe Imaginary Invalid at a high school assembly sponsored by the Board. So su ooth has been the operation of Mehl- ville s new system of student government that many of its critics have recognized its virtues. The Board of Councilors is a working organiza- tion not a group of gabby socialites.
