Senior Horoscope Donna Menapace—January 11—The girl who has a lot of pep and is always on the go, especially with “Eddie.” Her future will be a John Deere tractor demonstrator in Chicago as a result of being a bookkeeper for John Deere Im-plent Co. during her senior year. Mabel Miller — February 17 — Seems to have a crush on all the service boys. The stars say she has many talents, a pleasing personality and a smile for everyone. Her ambition is to be a bookkeeper for a large hardware store. Barbara Niebaus—May 11—Tall, cute, and quite sophisticated. A girl who never has a hair out of place. Because of her poise and charming manner she will some day be Dean of Women in a very exclusive and expensive girls’ school. Pat Niehaus—December 25—A lover of horses and dogs. Her favorite saying is “Don’t know, do you?” She is seen coming to school in a ’42 grey “Chevy” with a load of hitchhikers. She is also one of the N. T. H. S. acrobatic cheerleaders. She is friendly and has many friends, some of whom are from Pana. Joanne Oltmann—April 11—She is bound to be a sailor’s wife but is undecided which one. She often goes to Spring-field?? A gracious accompanist, plays the oboe, sings, draws, helps to lead the cheering section, etc. What a versatile lady! Ray Oltmann—August 21—Comes to school driving a ’51 blue Ford. Has a deep and constant love and enjoys hearing spiritual music. Favorite food is chili with lots of catsup and his hangout is the Rosebud. His favorite pastime in high school was “hauling the cheerleaders around.” He is destined to be a farmer. Allan Pavolko—March 22—A very good athlete and declared woman-hater (he says so, but we don’t believe it). His pet peeve is “Those RICH farmers!” It is a well known fact that he is very generous but doesn’t like to broadcast. He will have a long life and will one day be manager of the Kroger store. Loyd Redeker—January 31—A tall, unpredictable guy who could easily be recognized by the clicking of his cowboy boots. His favorite pastime is listening to his own rendition of “It’s In the Book!” His pet peeve is the question, “How’s the air up there?” The stars predict he will become a wealthy farmer with many tall, beautiful daughters. Jerry Rhodes — November 10 — A true ladies’ man who has quite a lot of trouble getting to school on time. Pet peeve is the farmers. He will be a cartoonist for some famous paper because he can do the work in the afternoon and won’t have to get up in the morning. Robert Schnell—September 9—Bob is always outside at noon playing catch with the rest of the ball players. The stars say he is impetuous and if something does not come easily to him, he does not like to do it. His ambition is working in Rexall Drug Stores. Lee VandenBergh—March 6—A quiet and sensible lad from west of town. A woman lover—drives a black “Chevy” car and a blue “Chevy” truck. Ambition is to be a great chemist. Favorite pastime is trying to blow up the school. Dale Vanhouten — July 10 — You never know in what kind of car you will find him because every time you see him he has a different one. He is now driving a pea green convertible. His friends know him as “Hudy.” His ambition is to be a race car driver. Ann Vansack—January 2—A dark, mysterious beauty from Coalton who has quite a love life. She enjoys dancing and skating. Her ambition is to be secretary to the president of Lonely Hearts. Irene Jean Vernetti — January 30—The stars say when you love, it will be a deep, sincere love. Because of this your married life will be successful and happy. Her ambition is to be the private secretary to the President of the United States. Favorite pastime is going out with “Abe”. Glenda Lee Wattjes — November 14 — A girl who never has much to say. The stars predict that her love for literature will turn to love for a happy home. The stars say she will be the secretary to the Dean of Women in a girls’ college. Bill Weir—-February 4—The president of our class, the future president of our country, who will take “Ike’s” place in eight or maybe twenty years. He’ll have “Ike’s” glamor smile but not the flow of words. Instead of golfing, we’ll find him playing basketball. His favorite pastime is chasing women??? M.M., R.O., A.J., C.H. TWENTY-KOUR
