Class Prophecy During my world tour in 1984, in my chauffeur driven car, selling Hydrogen Water Pistols with built-in toothbrushes, the famous toy for children, I came upon a large city. Suddenly I recognized that this large city was my old home town, Newburg, so I decided to look up a few of my old friends. My first stop was at the home of one of my old classmates, Eleanor Gillespie, who is now married to Carl Altemeier. They got an early start in farming and now, with their three children, own Jasper County, Stopping now at the Boot Baseball Field, I talked awhile with another of my classmates, Barbara Sutten, who is now married to Dean Boot. They have just beaten the Dodgers out of the World Series. The Dodgers are managed by Barbara's brother, Kenneth. As I hadn't seen Kenny in quite a spell I decided to drop in and see how he was. He informed me that after playing with the Dodgers for Z0 years, immediately following his graduation, he decided to manage them and thought he could probably beat his sister's team next year, My next stop was at the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Delrnar Sharp. Mrs. Sharp is the former Leta Grace Palmer and the Sharp's occupation is raising purebred Angus cattle and their Cheaper by the dozen children. I was informed by Delrnar's children that I should know their schoolteacher, so my next stop was at the Newburg School Building, and who should I find but Mrs. Richard Paul, the former Loretta Graham. She is the only schoolteacher in the world who is teaching her own child- ren. Loretta informed me she got her education at the Nolin Institute where Jean and John Nolin are being very successful. Jean Nolin is the former Jean Krunim, another of my old schoolnuates. They are very wealthy because they could send all their children through school free and are now letting their children support them. Walking through the town my attention was directed to a beautiful heart-shaped building with the insignia H. H. standing out. It seems that Henrietta had so many heartthrobs she started a Lonely Hearts Club with a personnel staff to take care of her business. Right across the street is another tall building, housing the Nott- Cooling Bachelor Agency. On the gold plate on the outside of the building was the following: President-Ronald Edgar Nott and Vice-President-Dale Ricky Cooling. Knowing that both of these fine gentlemen were classmates, I walked into the build- ing to have a talk with them. It seems Ronald was chosen president because of his lack of experience. -About a block down the street I ran onto a spacious hotel of about forty rooms, run by Mr. and Mrs, Don Mathis. Mrs. Mathis is the former Helen Jeane Schnell. Further down the street I came upon the Brown Bus Station. During my conversation with Walter Brown, a former school chum, I learned he got tired of buying gas to go to Prairie City so he bought this bus line, which he and Mrs. Brown, the former Beverly Jabbaai, own and operate. My former classmates were so well pleased with my product that I sold out. So I got into my car and started back for New York where I will retire and live on my old age pension, ' --Walter Brown and Loretta Graham

X 1 ,cflxf .SSP F . I'd like to tell you a story. It's about me and some of my friends, and it all started about thirteen years ago. One day in August my mommie dressed me in my best clothes and told me I was going to go to school. Oh, I was so thrilled and excited! I I even let mommie comb my hair! I ran happily out the door, but when I turned to wave good-bye to mommie I became very worried. She seemed to be so happy to see me go! How- ever, my sorrows soon left when I arrived at school and found several little girls and boys who were just my age. It wasn't long before I learned all of their names. The girls were: Eleanor Gillespie, Glorianne Gross, Jean Krumm, Viola Lidtka, Norita Long, Edna Moore, and Barbara Sutten, and the boys were Walter Brown and Larry Collumn. It seems as though I always liked the second semester of primary better than the first. Maybe it was because a real cute little boy, Delmar Sharp, joined us. I was sorry, though, to see Edna and Larry leave us. XiW Clms History S After our first few years of school all of us children seemed to be quite well adjusted to our new life. But when we reached the third grade we had to adjust all over again. You see that was when Kenneth Sutten joined our merry little group. Ronald Nott also joined us that year. The next few years passed very rapidly. In the sixth grade we were very happy to welcome Henrietta Hauersperger who had migrated from Gilman. Finally our big year was approaching. We were graduating from the eighth grade!! We had made it, and now we could go into the assembly and really live our last four years of school fat least that's what we thoughtj. We came to school the next year all set to have the time of our lives. And what did we find? We weren't allowed to have recesses. And worse than that, we couldn't chew gum! We were terribly disappointed , but nevertheless we liked high school. We had quite a large Freshman Class. There were seventeen of us: Walter Brown, Glorianne Gross, Jean Krumm, Ronald Nott, Henrietta I-Iauersperger, Delrnar Sharp, Kenneth Sutten, Barbara Sutten, Dale Cooling, Jerry Fuller, Loretta Graham, Helen Schnell, Donnavee Keenan, Dean Goodrich, Jon Wright, Eleanor Gillespie, and Virginia Garrett. Now, as we prepare to graduate, we find that eleven of those seventeen Freshmen have been faithful all four years of high school: Walter, Ronald, Henrietta, Jean, Delmar, Loretta, Helen, Eleanor, Dale, Kenneth, and Barbara. During our high school years we all had our ups and downs, but we always managed to come out on top. We are anxiously looking forward to starting out in the world on our own, but we will always remember the happy times, as well as the sad times, that we had at our dear old alma mater, Newburg Consolidated School. - -Barbara Sutten
