They were Dale Lucas, Virginia Alt, Kathleen Kuhnel, Jlee and Jnel Miller, Lois Carter, Norma Jean Gable, Mary Lou Fyfe, and Lavonne Dinges, who in the earlier part of the year moved to Osceola. On October 21 we welcomed Janet Coleman of North Loup, Nebraska, to our freshmen class.

Outstanding events of the year were a wie- ner roast at Sokol s Lake and a party in the gymnasium. Graduating from the title of green freshies the beanies and puzzled looks were cast aside and we took on the intelligent look of upper class- men. Our roll consisted of sixteen members sponsored by Mr. Boyd. Jack Houdersheldt who came from Columbus was the only newcomer to our class that year.

CLASS PROPHECY It is the year of 1965,that I, Kathleen Kuhnel, decide to take a long vacation and to look up my old classmates of '51 • I pack myself into my Supersonic Atomic Cadillac and rocket off to New York City. One evening while there I decide to attend a roller skating tournament at Madison Square Garden. Whom do I see but Lois Carter, as the main performer. She is competing with Gloria Nord for the world's championship crown. Lois al- ways did spend most of her time at a roller skating rink. From New York I start west. As I grow tired of the scenery, I decide to tune in on my television set, recently installed in my Cadillac. As station XYZ becomes clear, I see an opera program. Look It isn't.' J J.' Yes, it is Norma Jean Gable singing her favorite song, I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded. After miles of rocketing along, my attention is drawn to the surround- ing country. It seems strangely familiar, though I cannot tell why. Then before my very eyes I see a sign along the road. It reads Shelby, popu- lation 2 million. Well, if it isn't my own home town.' The same town I had grown up in. It seems that the town has grown up a little too. Sud- denly I hear a sputtering noise coming from my Supersonic Atomic Cadillac and discover that I am out of atomic energy. Quickly I dart into a near by neat station. And what a station.' As the attendant steps out I find she is none other than, ray old classmate, Marlene Krebabach. I chat a- while with Marlene about the good old school days. It seems that the sta- tion was formerly run by her father, but since Marlene attracted more at- tention he let her take over. Marlene tells me that Gail Gonnerman is still a bachelor, so I go to the north part of town to look him up. I find he is raising hundreds of cattle on his farm,and is one of the prize winning farmers in Polk County. As I speed through Osceola, on my way to points farther west, I stop to ask a man if he knows where Pal Lyon lives. He tells me, so I hurry out to a farm and go to the house. I knock, nobody answers, I knock again.
