F ll lllili 111 llii llllllil PROPH ECY-CLASS OF 1951 The world today is entering a new era, The Atomic Age. People can now accomplish many things that before were unheard of. Come with me as we turn the pages of time ahead ten years and gaze upon the graduates of 1951. They are now engaged in their life work, and we see: Nancy Witt, the 1956 Miss America Contest win- ner, has just announced her plans to go into Darkest Africa, as a missionary. Nancy's policy is to give all the men a chance. Barbara Murr, and Ardine Bettin, nee Paulson, the great Chemical Scientists, have just discovered the 97th element. They state that when it is given to men, it produces a quickening of the heartbeat. They named it femalin. The partnership of Myra Dreessen and Leonard Ziegmann to buy out Watts Drug Store has dissolved. lt was estimated to have involved three to four million dollars. Swimming star, Joyce Thielke, was lately quoted as saying she is endorsing a new brand of bathing suit. When asked what brand it was, she shyly answered, l don't know. lt's too small to even allow a brand name. Dick Bernhardt has just arrived home from his latest trip to Lower Mongolia. The trip was a great success, for he captured many interesting creatures- leopards, monkeys, elephants, Priscilla Francis,-say, how did she get in there? Last word we heard on her was that she was with Neil Schroeder's strong man show. Oh, well, Neil gets most anywhere. Barbara Boyd is just completing her graduate work at Missouri U. Barb has also received the Nobel Prize for her composition on How to tell Horses from Horse Flies. We have just received a message from Neptune. Jack Nuetzman and LaVonne Roth have successfully made the trip there. They report that they are planning to stay there for some length of time, for only there can they be alone. Helen Reuber has achieved the success everyone predicted for her. She has become the first woman President of the United States. Helen's only request was, that Congress allow Carol to tune the piano. Lois Rohlf and Ruth Treman, nurses at Johns Hopkins Hospital have successfully completed a delicate brain operation on that great boxer, Don Dreessen. Don didn't receive the blow in a fight, for on approaching the ring he fell over the water pail. Barbara Vernia and Veronica Veit have just opened a new Beauty Bar on Fifth Avenue. They have received great recognition on their 15th Century hair does. They also promoted the new song Her Hair Hung Down in Ring-a-Lets. Greenwich Village has just received a new resident, Miss Janet Sonksen. She is living there to conduct re- search on Cheese-Cake leg painting. Well! We all have our own ambitions in life. Miss Dorothy Bengford, the star of the Skating Vanities, was the victim of a disastrous series of acci- PAGE TWENTY dents last month. ln the middle of her last act she was hit with a tomato which sent her spinning into the audi- ence. She was later sued for spotting a man's suit with tomato juice. Some people get all the breaks. In the morning paper we were all surprised to see that Jim Hess had won the Indianapolis Speedway race for the fifth time. Of course we all know Jim got a lot of practice in his dad's car. The law firm of Einspahr St Taylor have just crack- ed one of the neatest gambling rings ever to operate. They convicted Jim Snake-Eyes Morr on evidence that he had matched Charlie Nelson out of a pack of gum. You'll soon learn, Jim. Gordon Friday, Millionaire Business Administrator for 15 nation-wide hotel chains, has just announced his intention to buy the St. Louis Cardinals. He said his main interest is in their Star, the man Musial. Trouble is brewing at the University of Iowa. lt was all started by Richard Swanson, who is determined to limit enrollment solely to Beta Theta Pi. The Sioux City airport is crowded today, for soon the plane will arrive carrying those two famous movie stars Delores Huebner and Donald Gunderson. They have just come back from their thirteenth honeymoon. When asked where he got the money Don smiled and replied, lf Phil Harris can do it so can l. Agricultural Scientists Cletus Wingert and LaVern Haradon have just startled the world with their dis- covery that cows give milk. Tnat All-American basketball star from Arizona U., has just broken the N. A. A. U. scoring record by dropping in 105 points in one game. Of course you know who that was-None other than James Brower. Jim has been seen lately in the company of the great songstress Mary Bird, who is on her latest tour for Raspy-Throat Canary Seed Co. Roger Buxton, the DuPont chemist, has just re- vealed his latest discovery. lt is a new kind of cigar made from used chewing gum. Rog said it's the best he's ever had. He should know. Multi-millionaire, Stanley Vernia, has attributed his success in the insurance business, to his remarkable sale of policies for protection against falling stars. All the fools are not yet dead. General Donald Finger, who is now in command of the 5th Division in Korea, states that the war will not be over for thirty years. He says our soldiers are too much interested in the Korean women. Another sportsman has shown up in our tour of stars. He is Kenneth Fertig who has entered the U. S. Cross-ccuntry Track event. Kenneth is picked a sure winner this year for the judge will be a woman, Miss Janet Ogden. And, oh yes, we must report, that we did have one school teacher in our midst. lt was Marjorie Dinges, who is teaching at Davenport. She says she'll surely go for teaching Agriculture. This ends our glimpse of the future of those who, we must all agree, comprised the best graduating class O. H. S. has ever turned out-the class of 1951.
