SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Our scene takes place in South Wayne in the year of 1965, at the new ranch home just purchased by the Rehmstedts. A helicopter settles to the ground. Pilot Werner Zimmerman jumps out and approaches the h0uS6. Mr- Rehmstedt recognizes him at once and invites him in. Over a lunch of tea and cakes, Werner tells of his travels and encounters with his classmates of 1955. Werner had been to Paris and visited the Shager Slimline Shoppe where Margaret Graham was employed as head model. Clarice Berget was designing the fashions for the shoppe. He then went to Bern, Switzerland, where a large government corporation was being founded. The owners were Neil Pehl, mental genius, Homer Pickett, muscle mang and Terry Ellingson head of finances. The cor- poration was called the E. P. P. Werner left Switzerland and set his course for England. Flying low over the English Channel, he recognized the noted channel swimmer of '59, Mary Wahler, still trying to beat her former record. He piloted his heli- copter to the east pier and talked with Mary for some time. He then returned to his helicopter only to find some of l1is belongings missing. He entered the police station, asked for the Chief of Police and could hardly believe his eyes. The Chief was Leroy Seffrood! Leroy promised that the stolen articles would be found, and then he suggested that they eat at a quaint little restaurant. There was someone there, he said, whom he knew Werner would like to see. He was quite right. Their classmate, Sonja Lou Gutzmer, took their order and served them graciously. Once more Wemer was ready to take off, this time to Florida. There he met Ivan Wampfler on Coral Beach enjoying the hobby of sailing his yacht, The Lovely Lady. That evening he had dinner with Rose Marie Smith, a star reporter for the CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. She had seen Shirley Wickey, now a housewife, shopping at Marshall Fields. Werner then piloted his helicopter to Atlanta, Georgia. A taxi took him into the heart of down- town. He noticed a little theater, where a bill was posted featuring Joyce Hanson, the famous blues singer, and Roy Holverson, a colossal comedian. After he bought a ticket and sat down, he began talking to a very distin- guished gentleman whom he recognized as Richard Jennings. Richard had been managing the theater for the past two years. He showed Werner an interesting bit of news that Linda Peterson, our ambassador to Denmark, was hospitalized in Minnesota. Werner made a quick trip to Rochester, Minnesota and hurried to St. Mary's Hospital. He recognized Shirley Olson as the neat looking receptionist, who gave him Linda's room number. As he stepped out of the elevator, he ran face to face with Caroline Sacker, who told him that she was Linda 's private nurse. Werner found Linda sitting up watching TV, and much to his surprise, he saw two more of his classmates. Rose Wenger and Betty Lincicum were giving a cooking demonstration. While the commercial was on, he saw Richard Larson advertising Fluffo, the new, new cake mix. On a stand by Linda's bed, he noticed the great novel, INSIDE MARS, by Caroline Wehinger and co-author Joanne Vogel. Just as he was about to leave, Linda asked if he had heard that Shirley Krupke was now the wife of an army major and living in Washington D. C. fcontinued on page 40j

We weren't here long before we were initiated. Our girls were ready for a hard days work with men's overalls and jackets, work shoes and caps. We carried a sign on our backs with an odd nickname. Our boys made equally attractive ladies in their garb. During our freshmen year we lost four members: Ronna Melaand, Gary Lewis, William Hale and Robert Gobeli. The next year we became mean characters when we initiated the sophomores. We lost some of our shyness and two more members of our class: Ardith Rowland and Shelby Mau. When we finally entered our junior year we began to grow up. On November 20 and 21 we put on our class play. It was a three-act comedy entitled Gone With The Girls , under the direction of Mrs. Eastman. We had a barrel of fun putting it on and it turned out to be a big success. Our next big event was our prom held on May '7th. Wishing On A Star was the theme and we all danced to the music of Benny Ehr. Our Queen was Mary Jane Mahlkuch she, reigned with the King, Richard Larson, over the huge night of fun. This year we lost two more members of our class: Nancy Brecklin and Leonard Peterson, but we were happy to gain Shirley Krupke who transferred here from Orangeville. As seniors we took charge of the Homecoming activities, and our big project is the publication of our annual. We have gained one more new student, Rose Marie Smith, who has transferred here from New Glarus. We are all looking forward to graduation and the challenge it brings with it: however, we know we are all going to miss the good old 'days at SOUTH WAYNE I-HGH SCHOOL. ' .
