CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) Millard Haley, a coining great lawyer, will be spending much of his time paying off an election bet by trying to make Marlys Gustafson governor of Minnesota. Gordon Larson will have a permanent job of buying cars for William Benson. In the near future Karl Loomis will be making some business trips to Chicago; his excuse of photography will be authentic only in a very amateur way. Dean Kngstrom will be touring the country organizing bachelor clubs. Warren Kngstrom will be his advertiser and publicity agent. Warren’s main contention favoring Dean’s work to humanity will be the example of Cliff Danielson, who will remain a happy man as a result of a bachelor club’s influence. (If that prediction is true, the future looks very dull for Kern Starr.) Carol Johnson and Doreen Borgstrom will be operating a restaurant. At first they will disagree as to the name—Carol favoring “Redtop” while Doreen wants “Blondie’s Own.” However, they’ll finally agree on “The Place of Domestic Justice.” The restaurant will boast two finished men waiters—and my friend Watso says Rev. Alfred Walck will be the one to finish them. This is the extent of the predictions I will make, based on the knowledge I have at the present time of the class of 1938. On the whole, they arc a class to remember and we (my friend, Watso, and myself) wish them all the luck in the world. Yours truly, Hawkshaw the Detective. IDEAL BOY To our mind, the Ideal Boy of the Graduating Class would be a composite of: Kenny Klefsaas’ hair Dean Kngstrom’s eyes Bob Lundbcrg’s neatness Donnie Erickson's athletic ability Bob Nelson’s singing voice Cliff Danielson's temperament Millard Haley’s talkativeness Warren Kngstrom's teeth Rodney Rosengren’s scholastic ability William Benson’s wit —And, shall we say: Kenny Klefsaas’ dignity? Gerald Gustafson’s quietness? William Benson’s bashfulness? Bob Lundberg’s loudness? IDEAL GIRL To our mind, the Ideal Girl of the Graduating Class would be a composite of: Kina Finstrom’s hair Doreen Borgstrom‘s eyes Elaine Olson’s neatness Margaret Peterson's and Helen Lundberg’s athletic ability Helen Nelson’s singing voice Irma Peterson’s temperament Fern Starr’s sociability Joyce Johnson’s wit Betty Johnson’s talkativeness Muriel Swenson’s teeth Carol Johnson’s scholastic ability Charlotte Anderson’s dimples Arlene Swanson’s musical ability —And shall we say: Heleu Nelson’s bashfulness? Alice Carlstedt’s noisv-ness Joyce Johnson’s quietness? Minnie Carlson’s loudness?

CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) Florence Elclund will start a scientific foundation designed to devise means of changing redheads to brunettes. Kina Finstrom, Irma Peterson, and Elaine Olson will probably marry some North Park theologians and wind up growing grey hairs in a parsonage. Katherine Peterson is headed for a job as a pianist—and don't be surprised if it’s for somebody like Kate Smith. Margaret Peterson will be working in Stillwater. However, don’t doubt her integrity—that’s her home. Betty Holmes, although leaning toward a musical career, will wind up singing lullabies. You know, I)r. John Brown was quite right, after all. Mary Jane Statler, who will gain fame for her papers on “Why I won’t get married unless I’m asked,” will finally find a bashful man and leap year at the same time. Of course, you all know Bob Nelson is the only one that could be that bashful. Helen Lundberg, with the aid of a lot of inspiration,will wind up as girls’ basketball coach at the Academy. Mayme Ranta will gain the distinction of being “America’s most studious woman.” Helen Nelson’s pretty smile will only land her a job as music teacher in a kindergarten. Dorothy Knutson, a coming librarian, will have to devote much of her time to finding books on “Basketball and How to 'Peach It for Coach Kenny Klefsaas of the Minnehaha Academy team. Marlys Peterson (strangely enough) will write a book on “How to Win a Husband and Influence Flim.” Hazel Gustafson, Ruth Carlson, Marie Johnson, Winnifred Johnson. Ethel Christensen, Minnie Carlson, and Eleanore Wcstlund will accept their common fate at its first opportunity—and, girls, if- you want some pretty names for children, consult Mr. Pearson, who knows all pretty names, including those used only on informal occasions. Menno Harms, who will gain the heights in the teaching profession, will forget himself when he talks before the M. A. chapel, speaking on the subject, “Teachers, their ways and means.” Bob Lundberg and Rodney Rosengren will be going by the title of Reverend. Alice Carlstedt will win a beauty contest with her long blond braids attracting the most attention. Gerald Gustafson will head a law firm specializing in domestic cases. Incidentally, it’ll make good money. Joyce Johnson is bound for the Odin Male Chorus—probably as soloist. Betty Johnson is definitely heading for a Ladies’ Aid job. Incidentally, Watso was informed of her capabilities along that line from Lewellyn Youngquist. Grace Jones will be trying to do some English homework for some children who inherited a laxity in grammar from papa Fosse. Virginia Swanson, Lorraine Swenson, and Muriel Swenson will perform as a trio in a Swedish restaurant which advertises sausage—2c a link.
