CLASS HISTORY AND PROPHECY The frm-loving class of 1954 leaves the Class History and Prophecy as cz forecast of things in store. The ffulure has a bright picture reserved for the class that will take advantage of its opportzmities. When JANET NIETO first went to a boarding school she did not like it very well, but since all her friends were coming to Menaul, she decided to try it for a year. Now Janet is graduating with us. She is interested in the field of medicine, and in 1960 we find Janet an R.N. in Colorado. ELIAS DURAN got' tired of his lonely place and decided to go out in his helicopter to search for adventure. I-Ie landed, and hearing that Menaul was a much better place, he decided to join us. Elias is a well-liked fellow, who still has the traveling bug in him and wants to join the Navy. After a few years we see Elias return from all his trips to land up in . . . Chamisal? A very small boy, looking for a basketball court, came to Menaul to continue practicing in that sport. Since then JUAN DOMINGUEZ has been one of our best basketball players. He is seen around Old Brick quite often, but his mind hasn't been made up on any particular girl. In ten years, our crystal ball tells us Juanito will be taking Mr. Bauer's place at Menaul. . Now we have the quietest member of our class. Yes, it's IDA MEDINA from Ojo Sarco. As Ida travels around the campus we see her occasionally laughing a little. It is not' that she is sadg she is just saving her smiles for the sailors. In the future we see Ida upholding the honor of the country as a U. S. lfVave. , MANUEL Tokyu MARTINEZ joined our family in 1952. Tokyu is a small, intelligent- looking fellow from Park View, New Mexico. He is always kidding people and thus he enlivens the spirit of Menaul. As we gaze into our crystal ball we see Tokyu as a leading agriculturist. Let's keep those prices down! One of the most active members of our class is JANE CORDOVA. Jane is very adept in athletics and is quite popular around the school. She plans to practice medicine in the future. In ten years we see Jane as an M.D. in Albuquerque. MANUEL SALAZAR, better known as Winn, Jr., descended from the hills of Colorado in 1952. . He is a tall, quiet Qat timesj character. Manuel left us for a while last year but came back to study agriculture. In the years to come we see Manuel doing well in his mountain farm in Colorado. Good luck to you, Manuel! Jinny, a very comical girl, arrived in her Cadillac in '52. VIRGINIA MONTOYA is a good basketball player and a very romantic girl. What a combination! Inclined to aid her country, Virginia wants to become a Wave. Smooth sailing, Jinny! CORKY DURAN, a very lively girl from Denver, arrived at Menaul laughing as she always is. She likes to joke but she is also sensible. In the future we see Cora Lee as a leading nurse in Denver. Dodo, DOLORES MONTOYA, came to us originally from Cuba, New Mexico. Dolores is a girl with many different interests. She is very nice and is well liked. She hopes to go to music school, but her plans right now are to be a telephone operator in Santa Fe. Happy calling, Dodo. Page Fifteen

One bright and sunny day, from the hills of Ortiz, Colorado, a young, peppy boy named WALTER ATENCIO came to join our family. Coach, noticing his athletic possibilities, gave him the eye. Yes, Coach was right. He turned out to be a good player. We predict that Walter will stick around Albuquerque until a certain junior girl graduates. By 1960 his ambi- tion of coaching will be attained. The second of the McBride family came to Menaul in 1951. We find BUDDY MCBRIDE a quiet but cheerful kind of fellow who is seen in Old Brick visiting a certain junior cheerleader. In the crystal ball we see Buddy a successful doctor in Albuquerque, and by this time this certain junior will become his nurse. .Nice combination! What have we here! Oh! yes, Shakespeare, the second! JOYCE ARELLANO, the poet of our class. Joyce came to us in l951 from the metropolis of Chamisal, New Mexico. She has not as yet decided what her plans for the future are, but we are sure she will be a success in what- ever she undertakes. Better known as professor, MARCIAL CERRATO came to us from the deep, dark jun- gles of Honduras, Central America, in 1952. M arcial is considered one of the brains of our class. He has mastered English very well. As we gaze into our crystal ball we see him engineer- ing a government project in Honduras. One sunny day in the fall of 1951 a little fawn came to Menaul in the form of GENOVEVA ROMERO, better known as Bambi Bambi is an all-around girl noted especially for her athletic ability. After she takes her nurses' training, we see her as a registered nurse in Santa Fe. Who's there, Bambi P E The most talkative and also the jolliest member of our class is FLORILA MONTOYA. She is a very friendly person with high idealsg she is a little package of joy sent to us from Truchas, New Mexico. Our crystal ball says that Flo will become head nurse in the big city of Belen, New Mexico. The dancer of our class, YMELDA MONTANO, hails from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Ymelda is a talented girl, and she is very poetic. fAll her poems seem to be about lovelj In the future we see Prieta as a leading journalist for the Mexico City Daily. Good luck! From the enchanting little town of Cuba, New Mexico, a young boy came demanding a place at Menaul. LEROY MARTINEZ then decided it was a good place to stay, and remained for three years. He is a sensible, cheerful boy whose ambition is to acquire a higher education. LeRoy has won a scholarship to the College of Emporia, Emporia, Kansas. The all-around guy of our class came to Menaul in '5l. ELI ROMERO came as a shy sophomore and a quiet fellow. He is not so shy now, for he seems to make certain girls swoon. You know who! As time goes on we see Eli as a leading business man in the city of Mora. When PAULINE MADRID Hrst came to join us we thought her to be a bashful girl, but after seeing her for three years we have changed our minds. We see Pauline now as a cheerful and active girl. Pauline plans to be a physical education teacher. There is a bright future wait- ing for Pauline in Ranchos de Taos. GLORIA MARTINEZ is the singer of our class, and is a quiet, thoughtful girl. fBut you ought to see her at the dormlj Gloria comes to us from Ranchos de Taos. She has great sing- ing ability, but her mind is set on becoming a dental assistant in the navy. We wonder why? Crying and calling for her Mommy, SUSIE RIVERA arrived at Menaul. Susie is a native of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, but she moved to Albuquerque when quite young. As we see her future, Susie acquires a higher education at the University of New Mexico. Page Sixteen
