Senior Class Prophecy In 1961, on May 22nd I boarded a Western Airlines DC-6 for Phoenix, Arizona. I was on my way to visit my husband who was stationed in the Air Force there. We had been married about ten years and I had spent most of that time traveling to wherever my husband was stationed. As I was sitting back comfortably in my seat knitting I heard a familiar laugh. I thought to myself I just can't be mistaken about that laugh. I'm sure it must be Ruth Mitchell. HI got up and looked around and sure enough there was Ruth just as cute as ever. That didn't come as much of a surprise but what did was, the handsome man sitting beside her, none other than Clayton Hoppe. I spoke saying, nHello, this is really a surprise, but a nice one. I'm so glad to see both of you. Please tell me all about yourselves.' Clayton said, HWell, Joyce, I guess you know I always did keep an eye on the girl who sat in front of me. After we graduated, we started going together and you can just about guess the rest from there on. But, there is someone you'll have to meet, she's coming up the aisle now. She's four years old and her name is Evelyn.H After I had chatted with them for awhile I went back to my seat to rest awhile before landing in Denver. It wasn't long before we landed and I got off the plane. I was told I would have to wait several hours before I could catch a plane to Phoenix. I decided to go into Denver and windowshop in order to pass the time. As I was walking down the street I chanced to bump into someone and upon looking up to make my apology, I was amazed to see standing in front of me Leonard Austin. We both exclaimed simultaneously. HLeonard.H NJoyce.H We opened our mouths again to say together, HWhat are you doing here?N It was I who got in the next few words, explaining to Len where I was going after which I said, NBut, I still haven't found out about you.H He replied, NI never have married, I guess the right girl just hasn't come along, or maybe the trouble is that I haven't settled in one place long enough to become that well acquainted with someone. I'm a salesman for the United Steel Company and I travel all over the United States. I enjoy it very much and am happy with my work.N Hwhat happened to your twin brother, Lee,H I asked. He said, N0h, I saw them just a few days ago. Lee is running a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Of course you knew that he married Janet Greenawald, but I don't suppose you ever found out that they have two sets of twins, twin girls six years old and twin boys two years old. They really have their hands full, but seem to love the children very much and get along themselves just as perfectly as they did when they went to school together. I surely am glad that I got to see you. I must be getting along now. nGoodbyeW NGoodbye,n I said, HI hope I see you again sometime.H I continued to stroll around in Denver's fine business districts until it was time for me to go back out to the airport. When I reached the airport, I went immediately to the plane which was in. The stewardess was helping people into the plane. When she turned toward me she gave a gasp of recognition. Janet Seeger said, NWhy, hello Joyce. I surely didn't-expect to see you. I haven't time to talk to you now, I'll come in and see you later.H I said HAll right,N and went to my seat 10

Class History In the fall of 1939 twelve excited youngsters embarked together on a ' new adventure for they were entering first grade. The new class consisted of Leland Austin, Leonard Austin, Allen Free, Clayton Hoppe, Raymond Kaufman, Marlin Leatare, Richard Northrup, Earl Pillard, Janet Seeger, Junior i Sutherland, Melvin Tallman, and Richard Walderbach. Our teacher for the first year was Miss Rita Gibbs. Entering the second year we still had twelve on the roll, for as we lost Junior Sutherland and Melvin Tallman we gained Lester Oellrich and Althea Yeater. Our teacher for this year was Miss McMil1in. Our class number still stayed at twelve as we entered third grade under the guidance of Miss Ethel Johnson. We lost Richard Northrup. Shirley Siefken joined us. During the fourth year, we lost three but happily gained three classmates. Ethel Johnson was again our teacher this year. The class of 1951 entered the fifth grade with three less pupils, our roll read Leland Austin, Leonard Austin, Robert Eiben, Paul Eiben, Clayton Hoppe, Janet Seeger, Shirley Siefken, Richard Walderbach, and Althea Yeater. Our teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Gutherie. In the sixth grade Richard Walderbach and Althea Yeater moved away but we picked up Angelliec Ray during the year which made our number eight. Dorothy Gutherie was our teacher. Entering the seventh year our enrollment fell to six, for although James. Jensen moved back among us, Paul and Bob Eiben and Angelliec Ray moved away. Our teachers were Mrs. Dunlap, Miss Miller and Mr. Mervin Blanchard. As we progressed into the eighth grade, our number remained the same, for as James Jensen moved away and Joyce Gerdes moved in at the start of the second semester. Our teacher for the year was Mrs. Vera Ireland. ' The class of 1951 moved into high school feeling very grown-up and wise. Our teachers were Mr. Greenawald, Miss Miller, and Mr. Wright. We numbered eight and consisted of Leland Austin, Leonard Austin, Joyce Gerdes, Dorothy Hayes, Clayton Hoppe, Janet Seeger, Shirley Siefken, and Deloris Catlett. The same group entered the tenth grade except for the addition of Ruth Mitchell. The teachers for this year were Mr. Greenawald, Mrs. Peck, Miss Miller, and Mr. Whaley. . ' There was a drastic reduction in our class number when Delores Catlett, Dorothy Hayes and Shirley Siefken moved away. Our teachers for the eleventh and twelfth years were Mr. Greenawald, Mr. Ridout, and Miss Ament. The Sunny Six that remained intact through the eleventh and twelfth grades were Leland Austin, Leonard Austin, Clayton Hoppe, Janet Seeger, Joyce Gerdes and Ruth Mitchell. 12
