Page 6 -'PHE CHIPPEWAN- 1 9 3 R Prophecy Continued Norman Gorder with his long stride has put the Texas Ranger in the shade by his croonings in Cyrus, Minnesota. Helen Brenden is the wife of a noted sur- geon in Wheaton, Minnesota. Nice going, Helen! Occasionally we receive a letter with a Nor- wegian stamp. Adeline Nodland never returned from her trip. She found romance in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Edna Engen is also well-known. She is cap- tain of the only Women's Globe Trotters bas- ketball team. We all remember what a swell guard Edna was on our class team. However, information concerning our re- maining classmates had not yet reached us. Nevertheless, newspapers are truly wonderful, for they brought us reports of the activities of many of our friends. Vivian Aslagson won the Women's 100-yard dash at the National Olympics last year. She left behind her only a cloud of dust when im- mediately before the race she was informed that an L. C. Smith typewriter was at the end of the stretch. Warren Baukol is a well-to-do farmer in North Dakota. He has found a successful remedy for sheep scabies and hog cholera. AlVerna Thompson and Doris Berg are the world's champion hitch-hikers. They are the only persons who have hitch-hiked around the world without getting their feet wet. There are often advertisements in the paper illustrating expensive silk hose, hand-made by Gladys Gorder. We hear that her mother in- sisted that she devote herself to this, saying that, perhaps it would make her truly appreci- ate silk stockings. There was a long column one day in the so- ciety news concerning the debut of the titian- haired daughter of one of the socially elite of New York City. The column stated that she was the daughter of none other than Mrs. Per- cival Van Swank Knee Bernice Nordaunel. Ber- nice is the wife of a wealthy broker. Arthur Finstad has entered the political world. He tours the country making speeches for the candidate who seems to be losing, but who always wins in the end. Lorraine Aaberg and Clarice Elie have in- vented a new type of dancing shoe. It's popu- larity is due to the fact that it keeps you float- ing and you can come down to earth when and if you want to. One day under the most unusual circum- stances one of Tabby-cat's youngest died of heart failure and the rest of our felines were terrified. An airplane landed in a field nearby our cabin and to our surprise the pilot was Em- mett Herbst. He has become famous along the line of aviation. Emmett knew the whereabouts of two of our classmates. John Merrill is a jeweler. He chose this profession because ever since his watch flew apart in American History class, he has been determined to find out what made it tick. We were astonished to learn that Brenten Mv- king has become a quiet and serious man. He is burdened with a large family and is often heard to remark, Yep, it's us poor taxpayers that have to fill the gaps. Raymond Pederson has reached his goal and has replaced Bing Crosby who passed on. We saw Raymond in the musical production, Dime Dates, playing opposite another of our class- mates, Dorothy Evans. She also accompanies him in his broadcasts on her slide trombone. One night this summer we attended a night club and heard a famous hot-cha orchestra un- der the direction of Casper Ronnei. His inter- pretations are truly expressive. Sylvia Tharald- son is a featured dancer with his orchestra. They deny being that way about each other, but there are authentic rumors. We were not surprised one day when we heard a knock at our door, but we were sur- prised when we saw Marvin Hagen standing outside. Marvin, through the use of the pro- duct which he was selling, has become a mus- cular giant-6 feet, 8 inches tall. His product is a device which seizes the victim by the legs and then in turn by the head and stretches him to the desired length. From Marvin we gained information concern- ing the rest of our class. Clarmont Dahlseng, it seems, because of his speed of action, has be- come a skilled bull fighter in the Yucatan re- gion in Mexico. One of the enthusiastic rooters in the bleachers is his wife, Mildred Christen- son. Paul Boening has joined the Navy to see the world. We wonder if Paul will come back to greet some girl upon the village green, and if the lucky girl will be in Starbuck. Lila Pederson and Bernice Berge, as you have probably guessed by this time, are happi- ly content in their old-maid cottage by Lake Minnewaska. People often call us the pixil- lated spinsters . As yet we haven't found out what Upixillated means, but we hope there's no offense meant.

To the Sophomores-our personal character- istics and trust they will not misuse them. To the Freshmen-our brains and warning to be careful of their actions while in school. To Boyd Opheim-Brenten Myking wills his seat on A. T. Sanvik's doorstep. He also wills his dollar and a quarter dancing shoes to Wally Hoium.

She's keeping it all to herself. Doris Berg--her seat in the Merchants Hotel at Morris to Mr. Lunstad. Gladys Gorder-her gracefulness to Archie Otteson.

HIPPEWAN- Pgge 5 Sylvia Kamrud-her knowledge of mathema- tics to Robert Ronnie. Q Dorothy Amundson-her blush to Alvin Branch.

Paul Boening wills his deep voice to Lilian Stadsvold and Pearl Eidberg. Dorothy Evans-her pull with the Minne- apolis boys to Dellora Hidem. Edna Engen and Ellen Erickson-neither are willing anything and they won't give us a rea- son. Jeannette Kjera-her English XII and Social Science books to Prof. Peterson. AlVerna Thompson-her Senior dignity and any wads of Dentyne gum on the bottom of her assembly seat to Betty Evenson. Bernice Nordaune-her knack for getting flustered in class and her silent laugh to Mil- dred Ronnie. Casper Ronnie-his love for long book re- ports in English class to Ralph Norland. Helen Brenden leaves to Archie Otteson her lovely French voice that he may conquer the heart of some poor little bashful girl-Archie always has been so bashful. Signed-Recording Lawyer, Emmett Herbst v Class Prophecy Living in seclusion as we do in our little old cottage it seems strange that we Should find out so much about all the members of the class of 1938. On June 2, 1955, the anniversary ot our graduation from high school, our curiosity that had been growing all these years, became a determination to find out where all of them really were. From that time it seemed that Fate had decided to satisfy our curiosity. Of course we alreadfy knew the whereabouts of quite a few of our classmates. Ellen Erickson is the only one who returned to S. H. S. She is an efficient teacher in the Science Department of our Alma Mater, which now has an enrollment of 1,101. Dorothy Amundson has realized her musical ambitions. She is a talented pianist and solo- ist. We often hear her broadcasts over our radio. Our friends, Sylvia Kamrud and Jeannette Kjera, are editors of the famous column, Wierd Whispers. We greatly enjoy reading these original ghost stories. C Continued on Page 61
