You are now experiencing a rare occasion, for during the next few minutes you will have succeeded in spanning the fifth dimnsion. le have been able to flip the pages in our book of life and are now looking at the members of the l956 sexdor class of Peetz High School as they live in 1975. For years man has tried to foresee the future that lies ahead of him and avoid the mistakes he might make in his effort to achieve success. Never before has anyone been able to see the outcome of his struggles before they begin. Bit tonight we have done the impossible, we a.re now looking at those promising 1956 graduates, not as they were on commencement night, but as they are now in 1975, successful, happy nen and women. Remember how quiet and sw Connie Oliverius was when she entered Pests High School. all through her high school years she silently went about her lessons, did what she was expected, and always did it well. After graduating, she entered college and then becan a secretary. That did not surprise any of us. But that was only the beginning. She was elected the Secretary of the Year in 1963, and toured the country giving knlp and inspiration to other secretaries- She was recognized as the most beautiful and most charming secreta.ry in the United States at that time. Shortly after high school graduation a number of the boys entered the armd forces and it me there that our former class president, David Ross, proved his leadership ability.

C. with their eight children. He is doing everything in his power to establish world peace, and his influence is noted throughout the world. le predict that within the next year or so, he will have succeeded. Another of those seniors who entered the air Force was among the first men to lam on hrs during the recent rocket flight. It surprised none of us when the announcement was made that Joey Adams was captain of the rocket ship which returned last month from the initial flight to Mars. His love for adventure, ard his rema.rkable nerves of steel were evident hack in high school, so none were surprised when he followed through his dreams gf flying rocket ships into outer space. Carol Ann Roper has been in Europe for several years where she has achieved fame as a ballet dancer. Most of us expected her to marry a rich count, but none of the romances ever got beyolli the newspaper headlines. Who was more surprised than we to discover that she is an old lids Those are the most outstanding and famous of the 1956 graduating class. But we less famous members have been just as successful in smaller ways. Leo Fehringer is a priest in Hawaii.
