Thelma Van Zee You will know her by the merriment that sparkles in her eye. Oakdale Jr. High-1 sem. '46 Hancock High School-1 sem. '46, '47 A. A.--'48, '49 Choir-'48, '49 Trio-'48 Sextette-'49 Basketball-'48 ', '49 ' Echo Staff--'49 Thelm Class Prophecy Ere many years Bill will be A solemn Dr. of Philosophy And in a manner haughty shall expound His wisdom and his theories profound. Ruth Vroon a girl of charm and grace Whose virtues are reflected in her face, Will live in peace and plenty all her life, A housekeeper de luxe and happy wife. Albert always up in the air. Who loves to take chances and perils to dare, Will very soon be a world famed aviator As noted as Lindbergh, perhaps even greater. Some future day as you turn the dial: You will linger and listen awhile To Betty a soap opera star, The housewife's choice, she's known afar. Not fond herself of overwork, She can't endure that others shirk, So Dot Kaldenberg will run with glee A great employment agency. Back and forth to school she drove Through muddy roads and Peoria's snows, And in the future you will see Lois at the wheel of a fast taxi. Our friend Judy has a very small voice, But great big emotions and diction quite choice So she'll be a radio crooner some day, And sob all her troubles in ether away. A basketball coach she's going to be A champion team she'll coach, just see And when she does, the crowd, I'1l bet Will all be yelling for our Jeanette. 23

A plumber working overtime, With charges huge and nerve sublime, Arnold's future plain I see, A very wealthy man he'll be. At speaking up she does quite well, She's fascinated by the invention of Bell, On switchboards from the Atlantic to the Pacific The connections Martena makes are really terrific He argues morning, noon, and night And wins, if he be wrong or rightg So Howard, the faithful student Will be a lawyer famed and prudent. Cathryn, with her locks of Goldg May someday make fortunes untold. Through Hairglo, Luster-locks, or Sheen A shampoo advertisement Queen. With gestures wise and voice intense At speaking pieces She's immense So Thelma at an early age Will soon become the nation's rage. Helping others their burdens to bear, The worries of friends are Elizabeth's care Aiding the poor, wretched and blind A social worker, loving and kind.

Frances will be an artist who Will mural decorations do And be, as well, a portrait painter Who'll make poor Rembrandt's glory fainter. Her fertile brain and ready wit Proclaim at once the job she'd fit Margaret will write the perfect story Thus covering herself with glory. Gerrit, whose face ne'er reflects a frown Was just cut out to be a clown. He'll roam the country entertaining And use his wit while wealth he's gaining. A teacher of dramatics in Michigan U. A thespian who'll never miss her cue. Is Dorothy Dahm, though active she be For a lesson in acting, will charge quite a fee. When you take a trip on a rocket to Mars Before you leave for the land of the stars, Among the stewardesses, you will meet Evelyn De Bruin, so prim and neat. At cooking and sewing Reuvena's a corker Or driving tractors or raising porkers A farmer's wife sheis bound to be And very soon, just wait and see. 24
