A Television View Into The Future On May 26, 1960, at the Shamrock Ballroom, the Class of ’50 gayly congregated. It was a spectacular scene as everyone attending was a celebrity. For weeks, “The Journal Press” had been heralding the occasion. The first arrival drove up in an enormous, black, shiny Cadillac. Who should it be but Richard “Tex” Albers and Robert Schmelzel. They are now owners of “The Oil Wells of the United States” and “The Western Cattlemen’s Association.” Arlene “the Hula Hula dancer” Schulz, from the island of Lulu, spelled backwards “ul ul,” arrived dressed in a Kentucky blue-grass skirt. She has been an exotic hula-hula dancer on the island of Lulu for several years. All the girls swooned when Norbert “Muscle Bound” Utz arrived. His chest had expanded, his hair had turned curly, his muscles had developed, and he had grown one-fourth inch. Norbert is a champion wrestler at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis. The spotlight now focused on Leona Frisch and Myrtle Hendricks. They are outstanding nurses at the Bellevue Hospital in New York City. Myra “The Arms” Kolditz was another attraction at the ball. Myra is now featured with the Ringling Brothers Circus. Her act includes twirling her legs around her neck and crossing her arms behind her head. She is the only living human in the world who can perform this feat. Doc “The Vet” Schlesinger appeared dressed in finery. He had accomplished very much in the veterinarian field. Doc has perfected a breed of cows. Now a farmer no longer has to milk his cow and then churn butter, the butter is received immediately. The name of this new breed is “Schles-Jersey.” They have been proven successful by Kenneth Sauerwein, owner of the Sour-Wine Dairy Farm. Iona “The Housewife” Quathamer (Ditch) has taken time out from her many household duties to attend the class reunion. Iona has endorsed many household products and has recently won an award for listening to the most soap operas. The next main attraction was Orville “Dreamboy” Liefer. “Dream-boy” has appeared in many motion picture productions. His latest picture release is “Harmonious Hearts.” Co-starring with him in this picture is Betty Wilkerson, who has been studying voice in Europe. Two other class members attending the reunion were Dawn Albers and Mary Lou Sinn. Dawn and Mary Lou are models for the new “Swim or Sink” Bathing Suit Company in Tampa, Florida. Their recent modeling tour was in Alaska. (Continued on next page)
