Class Prophecy This is Station S-E-N-I-O-R broadcasting from Studio O. H. S. Predictions from this program proven to be eighty-five percent accurate. I predict that the Class of 1951 will produce some of the greatest personalities that have ever been recorded in history. I predict that in 1961, Bonnie Behrend has become one of the world’s greatest WAAC Generals and due to her untiring efforts we have won the war with Russia. Next on my list of predictions, I see Keith Kappenman, he is leaning over a beautiful girl, his arm goes around her shoulder and buzz goes his dentist drill. I predict that George Stanford has become one of South Dakota’s greatest farmers. He is living on the old George Stanford, Sr. farm with his beautiful wife and three happy children, I predict that Lois Miller is traveling throughout the country collecting news articles for a great publishing company of which she is editor. She is the wife of a famous Milwaukee minister. I also predict that Eleanor Bjorklund is about to start a major surgery. She has become a specialist in brain surgery. She is married to a handsome doctor working at her side. I predict that Delores Minnaert is married to a great Chicago socialite that she met at South Dakota State College. In my final prediction of the evening, I predict that Marlene Wessel is married to Bob Uthe and they are operating a Motel at 13 Presho, South Dakota.
