Prophecy Ken Carlsen has just become an fadmiral in the Navy. Oh look! There is Larry Marquardt. Did you know he has completed several years of study on his Ph. D.? There come two great artists of the 20th century, Karen Williamson, who has earned her fame in sculpturing and Sharon Williams in oil painting. Guess What? Bob Elder was elected senator from Hawaii this year. Marilyn Brewer is his competent secretary. Phil Calkins and Ron Rydberg are heroes I hear. By their alertness, they saved Colorado State Park from burning. One night recently I heard the new recording of the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Iames Fisher. Steve Childs spun the record on his 'Tops in Pops' disk jockey program. He also played 'Birth of the Blues' done by Carolyn Head. Carolee Knittle has been named Dean of Women at Christian College. Pat Schneekloth is taking secretarial training in Omaha. Seems quite a few of the class still live in Shenandoah. Ioelaine Benefiel is head librarian downtown. Spurgeons is now being managed by George Silence and Betty Blackburn is one of the clerks. Connie Gay has just re- cently opened a beauty shop here and is featuring the new 'Gay' look. What's all the excitement about? Oh, it's Mike Neill who has just won an important criminal case in Chicago. lsn't that Betty Rankin talking to him? l've read all about her new theory for the 'Subconsciousness Mind'. Why, there's Barbara Flynn! She's made quite a name for herself on the legitimate stage. lt's too bad some of the other members of our class couldn't be here. Silja Koivunen is back in Finland teaching English Literature. Dick Hartje is in Iran looking for new oil fields for his company. Robert Harris and Roy Gibbs are in the good old marines while Dick Hickman, Gene Morelock and Gary Treat are flying for the air force. Beverly Stake has just returned from the mission fields of Korea where she has spent some time. Opal Monk and Nancy Keele, R. N's., traveled with her. Cynthy Sloey is now managing the fabulous 'Six Sharpshooters' basket- ball team which is going to the Olympics next month. Rodney Martin and Dale Mathes are basketball and football coaches respectively at Drake Uni- versity and Coe College. Kathy Powell is teaching school at Central Institute for the Deaf at St. Louis and has recently found a new therapy for treatment of the inner ear. Delores Livermore and Marilyn Stubbs are the U. S. delegates to the United Planets conference. Iack Ballain has been art critic at Ioslyn Memorial the last few years. Lynette Iones has recently displayed her new designs in home decorating. Say, Iudy Langfitt, Connie Iones, and Sherry Bertram were recent dele- gates from Iowa to the national Women's Business and Professional Club in Los Angeles. Donna Hart has recently joined a safari to hunt in Congo Africa. By the way, Dr. Betty Hiatt is now practicing in China where she has been most successful in treating malnutrition cases. Barblara Putnam is assisting her. Look who just came in. lt's Mr. L, A. Logan, our former superintendent who is now retired and living in Florida. We'd better find our seats for the program. We don't want to miss seeing everybody and everything. l28l

Prophecy Time-1973 Place-Hospitality roorn of Student Center, Shenandoah High School Sixty members of the Class of 1958 have gathered in the beautifully deco- rated student center of the new Shenandoah High School building dedicated in Ianuary of this year, 1973. As the group assemble for the first social event of their reunion festivities, we hear outbursts of recognition, snatches of conversation and amazed out- cries as old friends greet each other. From the chatter we hear the following: Say, look at the celebrities over there grouped together: Larry White, the famous dancer of the Latin Quarter, and Iudie Funkhouser, the star of the smash hit, 'Million Dollar Baby' is conversing with her producer, Zeke Goldberg. Have you heard? Perry Smith has purchased the Elks Club and plans to convert it into a studio. Lulla Bryant is tinting his portrait which is to be hung in the lobby.

Wilma Wells bought Skateland and is making a great deal of money. They say she'll be worth a million in a few years. Ralph Sperry is the stiar of Roller Capades. Ray Lutz's basketball team capped the Antarctic championship last year. He seems to like the South Pole very much. Carnegie Hall had a big crowd the other night.
