Twenty-five years have elapsed since the seniors of 1950 have graduated from school. It is stated that a more noble, more charming, more brilliant class has never been graduated from dear, old OHS. In a travel around t!w world,we have caught sight of these yesteryear students and have paused to find what they are doing or working at. These seniors have very interesting lives. Let me tell you about them. Our travels will begin in California. Phyllis Kresho, who is a resident of ban Francisco, has, for the past twenty years been voted the world's no. 1 society woman. Beneath her burden of costly jewels, her radiant personality still shines. As we travel eastward on the highway across Death Valley , we spy a hot dog stand with a sign that reads, Mary's Dog . Here we see our sweet Mary Ann Johnson slaving away over a grill on this lonely desert for the sake of mankind and hungry travelers. On to Reno, where we are to look upon the faces of young and old couples who are unsuccessfully married. Here we see Joann rdclund1 3 Divorce Shoppe . Poor girl , must have had a bad marriage. Who is in the shop? Why, it's Barbara and Ronnie Carlson. You'd think that a couple that has stuck it out for twenty-five years could get along a few more. Barbara, though,just seems to like the name £gly better than Carlson. It's a pity that his name couldn't have been Lgly, also. On the route to Utah our automobile became critically out of order so we halted it at a garage to have it repaired. You'll never guess that we bumped square into Marlin Nelson and LeMoyne Monson. Together they own and manage a garage and major in repairing bicycles built for two and hot rods . You have all heard of Mouse and Nels' Hot Rods . ifihile waiting there we decided to go swimming in the Great Salt Lake. To our surprise there was Jane Lewis sitting,with all her glory, on the life-guard chair. Since no one sinks easily in the lake,I couldn't help wondering why a life guard would be needed. Later I found out. She attracts business. Business men, that is. Across Colorado and a stop at Denver. What is this? An election is in the making. »»ho is running for governor? Why it's Dick Sterup. • hat a chap'. And to think all he cared for in school was women. Nebraska's plains bring us to Osceola where we stop at Bush's for a coke. Low and behold--there's Arlet Knight. Why, Arlet, you're still reading letters from those fellows. Couldn't you make up your mind? In Omaha we stop at the stage show where Theresa and Rita Swantek are the star performers. They have been a dancing team for twenty years and fame follows them everywhere. While in Omaha we hear the news that Lyle Johnston has bought one thousand acres of land which is used to raise wheat for bread. It is said he is the biggest loafer in these here parts. On to Indiana where we stop at a night club in Indianapolis for a late lunch. Here, to our greatest surprise, we find Rosilyn Kennedy. Her club is made up of male employees only. It is the first club that has cigarette boys instead of cigarette girls. Jerome Gabriel, alias Lefty , is hiding out from the police here and posing as a cashier.

Class Prophecy Latest Indiana news heading, Rosie s Night Club Going Broke, Cause Unknown.” At the club we meet Bill Johansen. We learn that he 15 working as an elevator boy. It is the easiest way he could find to get to the top the quickest. After a good night's rest our trip is resumed and we decide to turn on the radio to break the monotony of the long drive. This is what we hear. Will poor Gertie rescue her husband from the clutches of the beautiful heiress? Will her son be spared? Will the train get derailed and her daughter killed? Listen in tomorrow to Gertie's other Husband played by Geneva Word, our darling of the air waves. Now this Is your announcer,Happy Rex Grossnicklaus,telling you to eat Crunchies. Look where eating Crunchies got him I On to New York City,where we see Carnegie Hall. There In the lights is the name The Queen of the Keys, Marilyn Miller. We always knew she'd make it. A visit to Coney Island explains to us where Leo Negley has been keeping himself. He is the best popcorn seller on the whole grounds. After making preparations to go across to England and other European countries we bid our friends goodbye and start on the last part of our journey. In London we receive an invitation from Lady Elaine and Lord Jim. Elaine insisted that Jim go to itfigland. Elaine has changed considerably. She has dyed her hair red and weighs 500 pounds. She says it's the latest English style. In Prance we find Paris to be a very amusing place. Another surprise Is in store. Drawing patterns for new styles for his 500 models Is Don Peterson. My hasn't lie changed? Don tells us that Vernon Boden is in the same business only in Egypt. Dresses, say Vernon, are easier to make there; there Isn't so much in them. In Russia we find that Bob Husak and Tony Iwan are beating their brains out to try to stop Communism. They ended up in Siberia. Ronald Swanson is in China assisting Madame Chiang Kai-chek. Ronnie Just had to help when her husband died. That's a good boy, Ronnie. Last,but not least, we find Ed Watts sleeping under a palm tree in Hawaii. There are two Hawiian girls over him fanning him. Edward, my boy, you are at last satisfied. And we, satisfied with our trip, return home wondering what twenty five more years will have in store for our seniors of 1950 v
