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?
