CLASS PfiOPHECy Ralph McMullen hated to get up in the morn- ing; So now he works nights and snores in the morning. Millie Martin is still on her father’s farm; She thinks the cows appreciate her charm. While in the house Nancy Martin keeps the books, Does all the mending and also cooks. Sandra Matthews has followed the family trait; As a telephone operator she can really rate. TomMikulski, our brilliant aviator. Watches pro-football from his helicopter’s radiator. Martha Ann rises early and builds the fire; Then she wakes Bob, the plumber Wes just fired. Pat O'Brien is a special dress designer; Her original creations couldn’t be finer. Patrick O’Rourke, we thought, had a deep mellow voice; Now as an Army sergeant, he repeats all orders twice. Rita O’Rourke has invented a new kind of gum; It holds flavor indefinitely, but who likes rum ? Sarah Raymond has taken the final step; Now she has three meals a day to get. Rose Marie Repic is wasting her looks.Cause down in the cafeteria, WOW! What she cooks ! Russell Robinson thought he'd like to be a farmer; But we just got word that he’s now a specialized snake charmer. Doug Rowbotham, as a wandering tramp. Is jumping the trains from ramp to ramp. Mary Ruhlmanneeded some money. Sold her red hair. Does she ever look funny? Charles Russell has joined the Air Force, His purpose being to travel of course. Oscar Schierlinger, the side-burn kid. Just finished another picture, which looks better when hidden. Don Senko is on the air crooning; The girls in the audience are wildly swooning. Charlotte Skwirsk stands on a soap-box in times Square; She is giving tips on how to dye your hair. Douglas Smith changes jobs from week to week; When he finds one with lots of money he will cease to seek. Glenn Sohn owns the smallest, mortgaged farm in the county; He raises foxes and lives off their bounty. Professor C. B. Stortzhas published another book; He claims to have tri-sected the angle, but Mr. Stickle won’t even look. Mary Thompson works in a restaurant; No smart guy will flirt with her, man or runt. Margaret Vielhaber teaches country school; The children all respect her, a yardstick is her rule. Joan Westen went to Lansing with a quiet voice, To see if she could also hook a man of her choice. 29

CLASS PAOPHLCy Doreen Albrecht has gone on to fame. And we thought the only thing bright about her was her name. Tom Almas does his farming by sunlight, And still does his charming by moonlight. Ivan Andersen doesn't look at blonde or red- head; He seems to be set on a certain little Brunett. Mary Bader, Who was quiet as a mouse. Is now the proud mistress of her own house. Norma Byers is on television, singing in a choir; Chuck sits at home, her voice he does admire. Betty Chambers, who starred in the Senior Play, Is now in Hollywood quickly turning gray. Cora Chapman, voted the laziest kid in the group. Is now the head of her own little troop. Marion Clark is a live little wire; In an office she hires and fires. Dennis is doing nothing these days; Since he got his diploma he’s been in a daze. We thought Donna Jean talked through her hat; Her uncle got her into Congress. Now she’s doing just that. Ellen Griffin sits and pounds a typewriter; Every time she sees the boss her eyes get brighter. Harold Grinnell, who is the “Jack of all Trades , in our class, Is making extra money by mowing his neighbor’s grass. As she looks at Dave, she flashes her charm- ing smile. Shirley Hallead now wears two rings on her left hand, And thinks married life is simply grand. Bill Heath, our arguing classmate, Has de- cided that farming is to be his fate. Dorothy Heatley works in a candy shop; If she intends to keep her figure, she’d soon better stop. In the Burnside Stockyards there's a lady auctioneer; We see Virg Horton still knows how to cheer. Melvin Inman will soon a doctor be. And treat his patients for a small fee. Bonnie Kennedy is lucky to have her sense of humor, Because her wee ones are now four in number. Ellen Klauka is working in a bank and does her job well; Some day she may own her own. Who can tell ? Harry Klaus has acquired a lots of wealth; Seems like he’d spend it on someone besides himself.' Ward Laur, who slightly resembles Dane Clark, Just starred in “How Green the Park. Dorothy McDowell has acquired a college de- gree; She's one who’s made use of trigono- metry. Hank McLeod, the class agriculturalist, Is still going to college and increasing his know- ledge. 28 Ann Gural will soon be walking down the aisle;
