SENIOR PROPHECY Rensselaer, Indiana, April 28, 1956 Dear Mary Jo: Since you inquired about certain members of the Class of ’46, I thought I ' d tell you about all of them. “JIM” EKSTROM, “BOB SIMONIN, PAUL LUERS, “BUB” SCHEURICH, and RAY POTTS have become first class farmers. There are several noticeable changes on Main Street. A new doctor has hung out his shingle. He is ALLEN ENGLISH M. D. Park’s Variety store has a new owner and proprietress, MARY HARE. DALE STATH is now a professor of engineering at Purdue. JERRY STROLE and B. J. have replaced Mr. Franklin and Mr. Davisson as coaches. We’ve added Frankfort, Logansport, and Jefferson to our schedule and the old gym is filled to capacity for every game. Of course you’ve heard CARL HENDRIX broadcast Isn’t he wonderful? Sort of a combination Harry James and Jose Iturbi. LOIS LONEGRAN and MARY DAUGHERTY are still competing for the International Ladies ' Riding Championship. Since Lois is better than Mary, Mary has decided to devote her time to singing. RUTH ANN, VERNA, and BARBARA are still touring the country as Tish, Aggie, and Lizzie. They’ve made a fortune assisting J. Edgar Hoover in his crime busting campaign. FRANK HILL is supervisor of Rens- selaer’s new radio station WKRO. Wedding bells rang for DON SANDERS and BETTE STANDISH. Their marital bliss is marred only occasionally by his hanging out too much at DON NAGEL ' S new undertaking establishment. MARIETTA FELDER has assumed complete charge of the new cafeteria in R. H. S. PATTY PUTTS is the new society editor of the Rensselaer Republican. They needed it. JIM GEORGE is still the contemptous villian in a summer stock company touring the West. MARGIE HAMER gave up domestic fife for the Reynold’s skating act. ‘PHYL’’ and “MOOSE” design all her costumes, and EVELYN McALEER is her private beautician. GRACE ROWAN is the efficient and capable secretary of SENATOR CHARLES ROBERTS. His private cook is MARY FERGUSON. J. RILEY is owner of Murray’s Department Store. JEAN NESBITT is touring the country singing the leading role in “Lohengrin.” DAROLD GIFFORD’S hair is snowy white, the result of his constant haranguing with Barbara. DON STEWART won the Indianapolis Speed- way this year. JOAN LEE’S and PATSY ROBINSON’S new night club “The Chitchat” is a popular hangout for all. Their experiences in Harris’ Creamery have proved invaluable. President and MRS. WILLIAM DILL, nee GERALDINE FELDHAUS, have purchased the old Monon. DON SWING and GLADYS DULEY are most bitter enemies. Their quiz kid programs compete with each other on WKRO. PAT H. is the new Ford agent and BILL LEOPOLD is his financial backer. The title of “Corn King has been won by IVAN HANDLEY the last nine years. BETTY LOU is still one of the most enthus- iastic spectators at our athletic contests. I wonder why? M. DEWEES’ new Coca-Cola place is a show place. It’s a real asset to the community. D. GREEN is on the Chicago Tribune staff. Her comic strip “Aunt Emmie’s Uncle” is a scream. “MYRT” is the new physical education instructor at St. Joe. Did you know it is now a co-ed? BETTY BOWMAN’S dancing class is especially popular with St. Joe boys. Arthur Murray has tried to hire her. JEAN DENTON is now Mrs. Bob Waymouth and is a WAVE to keep up with her sailor husband. J. MALONE is head of the typing department of Rensselaer’s new N. K. Knaub Business College. Mr. Knaub’s son “BUD” has just been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. GERALD FELD- HAUS, the jitterbug farmer, has made money with his novel idea for entertainment — nightly barn dances. ED McKINNEY, SHIRLEY LINTNER, “BOB” HAYGOOD are all on the staff of Monnett School, a swanky mid-western school for girls. “Bob” is the principal. DAVID BIGGS was graduated from the Art Institute, magna cum laude. He is famous as a commercial artist in New York City. A modern sewing factory in Rensselaer now is under the management of L. SCRIPTER, A. PHARES, R. MAIEN- BROOK, and R. M. KNOERZER. They are making nifty new sailor suits that replaced the bell bottom trousers. LOVELLA MILLER is a beautician. Her curly locks are a natural advertisement for her business. “BOB’ TANNER is employed by Uncle Sam in our national forests. Bob has invented several new kinds of fire fighting equipment. He just recently gave an address before the saftey classes of R. H. S. JACK DUTTENHAVF.R is coach at Morocco. The Beavers have been going places under him. The Riley Hospital’s new dietician, HELEN SAYERS, is efficient. She and DORIS SCHULTZ, superintendent of nurses, share an apartment in the nurses’ quarters. RITA LEVANDOWSKI, a New York model, is still trying for a screen test. What about you, MARY JO? I hear your work among the natives of Iran is most interesting. KEITH STREITMATTER has done a lot with his missionary work in Guam. Write again soon. With love, Shirley. 24
