Clan froplzecy In the dimly lighted barroom a lone figure is seen barely standing up. He gleefully watches the flies as they hover over the mess he has made in an effort to hit the inside of the dozen glasses he sees. 1-Iis shoes are in a rather air-conditioned state, and his hair is almost shoulder-length from lack of funds to pay a barber. We venture further and recognize this haggard creature as Wally Var- berg, former president of the class of forty-nine. On further inquiry, we find out that he has taken up the occupation of drowning his sorrows Ior he considers himself the only failure of his class. We venture to his side and ask, Aren't you Wally 'Varberg, class president in forty-nine ? His blood- shot eyes turn our way, and a glimmer of life comes into his s o u l as he says, Ah, W h a t a class! Everyone has made something OI himself except me. Even Duane Lyders gave up the old game and settled down to an honest life running third street's most respectable gambling cassino. Kenny Ol- son is employed as his number one side-kick, cleaning spitoons for extra money. Doran Evenson has a profitable business on Main street, for he took up the management of the Rose Teefy Corset shop. Marian Larson and Ray Mayoue are now joined in marital bliss and are the proprietors of the May- oue Beauty salon. Bob Wheeler and Gene Wicks are heard each Saturday evening over K L P M as they present their show, The Old Fashioned Revival Hour. Between programs Gene is heard doing his singing commercial for Eidelweiss Beer. Barbara Holmes is now editing the famous magazine, Nudists' Bazzarf' Dale Stowell has attained great f a m e as the world's m o s t perfectly developed man. Many times we have seen his image on the cover of any magazine, posing with the one hair which he grew on his chest with the aid of Vigoro. Red Hanson is his running mate, posing as the before' part of the pictures. Paul Bergem is a most respectable businessman now. He is especially noted for the exquisite dinners he has for his friends. He is employed as garbage collector at 2510 a month plus all he can eat. LaDonna Peterson and Joyce Martin are living together since the departure of their husbands- Mitch and Melberg. They joined the Salvation Army and are fighting at distant shores. Greta Breaw and Gail Grubb are serving their second stretch at Alcatraz for shoplifting at Woolworths again. This time they acquired a deck of cards and a toothbrush, so they are living quite comfort- ably- C011Hie IS-32105011 Spent the D21St ye-'ll' at San Haven getting tests because of her back.

Ken Zastera is the chief taster at the Jor- dahl, P 31'1'iS, and Weetphal, IHC- Brewery.

Every Tl1eSd-'ly night he h01dS 2111 advanced knittiiig class.

Polsfut's little 8 foot darlings can play Little Bobolink perfectly. Rich Dippong has completed his third year in the Snake Pit and hopes to be graduated in the spring. The inmates find him very annoying, for they have to bear with his Daffy Duck talk night and day. As a result of the radio - controlled cue ball, LaJean Eckert has taken over the management of Ernie's. For the benefit of the MHS boys, this establishment is lo- cated in the basement of the Public Library. Marv Avery and Larry Selk are very outspoken and ac- tive now, contrary to their high school days. They are members in good standing, of the Holy Rol- lers. Norman Borudpand Norman Killmer have their pictures in the postoffice now. The inscription below reads, Wanted dead or half dead. They are leaders of a notorious gang of cutthroats in Chi- cago.
