SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dear Mr. Wulber: After watching tonight’s television programs, I could think of no one more appropriate to write to than you, since you played such a great part in the lives of the alumni of 54. It all began this evening as I sat down in my modern contour chair with my masterful Dashhound to enjoy a quiet evening of television. I flipped on the dial to channel ten and sat back in my easy chair, and as I did I heard a familiar voice from years past. As the picture came into view, I saw no one but dear old Louis Schott, who was such a shy boy in school. He is now announcer for that popular farm program “Let’s Cackle With Louie’’. I was just getting over the surprise of seeing Louie when the guest speaker of the evening began. He was none other than the Secretary of Agriculture, Willard Me Keag. We knew by the way he could express himself, he’d make the grade. This being too much for me, I turned to channel six, as the power of Willard’s speech exhausted me. The program on this station proved to be one of my favorites, “This is Your Life”. The Master of Ceremonies was our blushing fellow chassmate, Ray Watts. This astounded us all, as he was rather the quiet type. Undoubtedly, the job of Master of Ceremonies during his school years brought him out of his shell. As he walked down the aisle, he stopped to visit with two other “54” classmates, Bev. Bush and Maury Watts who were here on the occasion of their tenth wedding anniversary. They are living on a prosperous farm, with their five children, on the outskirts of Osceola. They proudly announced that they are raising little kings and queens to follow in their footsteps. Maury introduced another OHS alumni, the once famous racketeer. Bob Colby, whose life was going to be revealed. He is now the head warden at Alcatraz, doing much for the unfortunate. While we were waiting for the program to change, the camera was flashed over the crowd. As this happened, I caught a brief glimpse of none other than Gloria Shockey, who is now a cigarette girL The next show that come on was “Toast of the Town” with a line of chorus girls opening the show with a snappy little number. I recognized a few familiar faces in that of Marcia Burritt, Margie Mouden, and Betty Jo Quick. The next feature of the show was Laura Monson and her singing, dancing, and talking parakeet. This idea struck her during her enlistment in the Waves. Following this entertaining act was an announcement by our favorite announcer, Gary Conrad, advertising the newly perfected Richard Randall TV set made and constructed to fit into anyone’s pocket. He claimed the idea occured to him 10 years ago in OHS during a chemistry test. The program closed with an operatic solo sung by the Metropolitian star, Phyllis Branting. The next program to appear was “What’s My Line”. The Master of Ceremonies turned out t© be Rex Wieseman. As he introduced his panel, many familiar names came to my mind. On Rex’s left was the prominent Shelia Youngdahl Brown, a divorcee eight times. Apparently she just couldn’t find the right man. On her left was the “Whiz” Benny Gabriel. He tried professional football, but the pay was “Chicken feed” and he enjoys the soft life he is leading now much better. On Benny’s left was that second Wizard of Oz, Joan Rech. She is really a professor at Yale, and does “paneling” on the side line. The last panel expert was ex-Senator Alton Johnson. It seems he was kicked out of Congress at. the last session. This first contestant signed in as Charles Huggler. He stumped the panel with his unusual occupation of painting turtle shells. Following this program, five minutes of the late news came on. Seemingly the headlines were about the solving of the latest bankrobbery. Roger Watts and his man Friday, Roger Johnson, were the detectives taking the credit for this deed. And in the Society News, Ruth Sigler has been recognized as the best dressed woman of the year. He husband and 8 children haven’t stood in the way of her being well dressed. And now came the thrilling event of the evening, the Late Show. This popular program was directed and produced by Homer Hastings and Nancy Johnson. They are reported to be making millions. The show tonight was a wild western with that favorite cowboy, Wallace Daum, the tall slim woman-hater. He’s changed since high school days. With this I turned off my television set and began this letter to you, Mr. Wulber. It brings back many memories of a wonderful class of OHS. Luck and success in the following years. Yours truly, A great TV fan and OHS Classmate
