TEN YEAR REUNION OF CLASS OF '59 It is 1969 and the little town of Preston, Minnesota, is buzzing with excitement trying to get ready to receive all the celebrities Cthe graduates of 19595 for their first class reunion in ten years. The first to arrive is the famous concert soprano, Mary Sikkink, who has just finished a concert at Camegie Hall. Accompanying her is her friend, Laurie Roelofs, who has just gained musical fame for her recording The Bass Waltz. Getting out of a new '69 Cadillac we see Roger Burgess whose voice is heard around the world-- giving you your daily Ivory Q99 4411000111 purej Soap Commercial. Behind him we see Dave Lichter, United States Senator, being chauffeured by Larry Watts who has vividly noticed the increase in the cost of living due to his growing family. Quite a group has already assembled in the hall. Some of the girls are clustered around Gerry Alderman and Janet Rindels as they tell of their famous beauty salon in New York City. Also in the group is Marsha Ebert who has followed the example of one of her former teachers and has become a social worker in the Chicago slums, and Lois Gross who has just written a book entitled Why Not to be an English Teacher. But this group has its intellecrs, too. Gene Bates, world -renowned author, has just finished another intriguing novel of the Old West. Reminiscing with Gene about old high school days is Richard Jeche who has just recently discovered the 103rd element, Jechiam. Overheard in the conversation are JoAnn Means, Carolyn Hanson, and Shirley Schultz, Four-Star Generals in the Woman's Marine Corps, discussing some of their dangerous adventures. Billy Berg, famous short-stop for the Milwaukee Braves, has just told of his homerun which won the 1968 Pennant. Listening interestedly is Ron Benson, famous sportscaster, who has just returned from covering the story of Buster Johnson, Flee-Weight Wrestling Champion of the World. Linda Olson, Pat Pfremmer, and Lylia Drogemuller have formed a group of their own and are deeply engrossed in discussion of baby foods, diapers, etc. These girls already had their men when the rest of the girls in the class were thinking about jobs and college. Donald Olson, famous artist whose work is compared with Michaelangelo's, has brought some of his work for exhibit. Critically observing his work is Roger Jones whose trained eye can detect flaws. Roger has gained fame as a noted art critic. Listening is Judy Hovelson, painter for U. of M. Medical Center. Janice Befort, head of the Bell Telephone Company, is to be credited with contacting the other members of our class. Janice had a hard time contacting John Carlin, who is a well-known broadcaster on Radio Free Europe. Seated on the far side of the room is Jerry Gartner, well-known construction engineer, who is dis- cussing his future plans with his secretaries, Dianne Bestor and Eleanor Kinneberg, We now see Terry Loucks, Fillmore County Auditor, going over the class records which were prepared by Jerry Pierce. Jerry is now United States Secretary of the Treasury. Richard Wolfe, inventor of the car that doesn't need gas, is hilariously laughing at John Mulvihill, famous mortician, who has just made the statement that he makes money while other people go in the hole. Eileen Prinsen is busily observing her classmates' behavior. As you know, Eileen is one of the top psychiatrists in the country. She found it interesting to talk to Doris Fossum and Annette O'Connor who have prepared monkeys for outer space, Rhonda Theiss has taken time out from studying for her doctor's degree in education to come to the reunion. While Ardith VanderPlas has not been attending college, she has mastered the art of tightrope walking. Everyone is hoping that Kathyrn Woellert, famous dance instructor, will give us a demonstra- tion in hula dancing. We've noticed quite a change in the alumni in the last ten years. What will the next ten years bring? 16

CLASS OF 1960 The Junior Class officers are Butch Wubbels -President, Jeanette Lar- sen -Vice -President, Marcia Miller-Secretary, David Schmidt- Treasurer, Linda Yaste and Roger Rindels-Student Council. The Junior Class was advised by Mr. Wildgrube and Miss Johnsrud. A real need for teamwork was discovered as plans were made to create a better than last year prom. Cooperation as a necessary element was emphasized all year--as long as money raising campaigns went on. Through class organization and spirit, the Juniors were able to pro- duce the winning Homecoming float. Speaking for the graduating class of '59, we would like to express our wish that your senior year be as full and memorable as ours was. 18 R. Bickelhaupt P. Ebert A. Ekholm N. Engle S. Foster L.
