Class Prophecy As we go along, suppose we find out what the people that could not come along are doing. First, take Rosemary Walgreen. She is still going to school to learn to become a teacher. You know if she tries hard enough, she's going to make it yet. Christine Shemek couldn’t go because she was too busy raising her ten kids. She tried using child psychology on her first two but by the time she got her tenth one, it just has to grow like Topsy. Gerald Bryan wasn't able to go either because he is over in Africa. He has become a missionary. He went over into cannibal territory 16 years ago, and hasn't been heard from since. Too busy to write, I suppose. Rosella Cerny is retired now. She went out to Hollywood for her health but when some director saw her, he made -a movie star out of her and paid $5,000 a week. Not bad, if you can get it. Kenneth Beebe wanted to be retired, also, by the time he was 40, but he isn't. He's just plain tired. Last he was heard of, he was trying to get a way from the depot agent in some small town in Kansas. Bob Brown (the black sheep of the class) is the boss of the underworld. It took him a long time but he finally made it. Florence Kresha couldn't make it because she is trying to break the world's flagpole sitting record. Bob Peterson was the only one who decided to stay on the farm. Bless his little heart. LaVonne Dinges still works at Crouse's but she's bought half interest in it, so it's Crouse and Dinges Drug Co. Dorothy Kresha is entirely different from the rest of her class. Yes, she got married, settled down, and is living a very normal and happy life (which is more than can be said for most of the others). Eugene Shemek and Martyn Youngstrom have decided to become hermits. No one knows why; they just went up a mountain one day and never returned. And last but not least we find Marilyn Kuhnel in a carnival outfit. She has a job as a motorcycle rider. It doesn't pay so good, but it is exciting. And now back to the rocket ship. The expedition failed. But with such a class, Fm sure that they will try again and will make it next time. We, the magnificent sophisticated, seniors of O. H. S., city of Osceola, state of Nebraska, being of sound mind and body but sensible to the uncertainty of our life's span do hereby in this year of 1951 give our last will and testament. Ofzarzak my car and driver's license so she won't have to take Driver's Education. I, LaVonne Dinges, will to Janet Zedicher, my ability to stay away from other girl's boy friends. It keeps you out of trouble, Janet. I, Rosemary Walgreen, will to La Vern Richards my manly cheerleading voice. Now La Vern, old chap, your voice will be lower. I, Florence Kresha, will to Jean Ofzarzak my ability to stay away from men, no trouble that way.
