PtUifUtecu, . . Time: 10 years from now. Place: World’s Fair held in Stewartville the suburb of the Twin Cities, the air-hub of the world. We find Donnie Appel attending the fair as a cameraman for “Life.” He was taking photographs of all tut changes that have been made here in Stewartville since 1947. He says he is shocked at the difference years has made. I was just over to the big circus tent and saw Ruth Ballinger as the head snake charmer. I don't know h- v Ruth does it. but she really has control of those snakes. Is S.H.S. still in existance? I hear Janet Beach is the new principal with David Ewald as superintendent David and Janet were married last year. The poor kids. When we saw the show at the grandstand we were entertained by a very pleasant voiced singer. W, liked him so well that we asked for his real name other than his stage name. And can you imagine, it was none other than Marvin Betcher. Isn’t that wonderful? I wonder where Verna is? I haven’t seen her for a long time. The last time I saw' her was six years ago at her new home in Iowa. Lynn Cooper is the new' coach at the Racine School. I hear his team hasn’t won a game yet. Elaine Cole is in charge of the S H Dept. Store In Stewartville along with Chuck. We had a glimpse of Patricia with some good looking man running in the direction of the ‘Tunnel o' Love.’’ Still at it I guess. Fern Hotopp and Dorothea Krahn are the head secretaries for the “Dick Kennedy Construction Company.' : Dick has gone to town with his new' business. Last year he built a new dam twice the size of Boulder Dam o- the Root River. Phyllis House plays French Horn in her new orchestra she started last year. It took her a long time to get started, but she’s well on her way to success. Oh, and incidentally, her husband plays in it too—that’s probabh why it took her so long. Doris Jacobson and Muriel Thompson are welfare workers on the Olmsted County Welfare Board. We found Glenn and Betty Jo trying to find their way out of the “Glass House.” I see their friendshii still exists. As I was in a hurry, I didn’t get a chance to talk to them. It will be a long time before they get out, no doubt. Oh! look over there. I believe that looks like Mary Ann. I hear she is a trained nurse now. Ervin Erichsen was in the big tent too. You guessed it. He is the world’s tallest man He’s 9 feet 9 inches and still growing. What’s going on over there? Oh. there’s been an accident. It’s Ervie again. He must have forgotten to duck when he went under the gate to the Poultry Yard. Evelyn Kidd is Air Hostess on the main air flight between Stewartville and Racine. As we went by the Merry Go Round we saw Margie getting off with her three little tots that looked just like her. She looked so busy and happy that we didn’t delay her. Ardith Rud is running an old maids’ home on Wooldridge Street. Maxine and Joan go down to visit her while LaVaine is working in his super-market grocery store. Joan Sandte finally settled down to one man. She married LaVaine Shoden and they live on a combination farm and grocery store in Pleasant Grove. I guess she gets up at five o’clock every morning and milks thi cows and feeds the chickens. Maxine Sievertson has taken over the Kate Smith program on the radio. Just tune in every Friday night at 8:00 and you 11 be sure to hear her. Maxine Thorson is still leading lady on the dance floor at Racine, the world’s largest ballroom for old- time music. RusseH Hems finally passed the pepsi cola test after studying for these past ten years. I guess Janis Poesche got him a little inside information though. She is head bottle washer in the Stewartville Pepsi Cola bottlin.». Sponsored by Co-op. Oil Service Station. Phone 3411 Stewartville Hardware May Tag — Shellane — Frigidaire PAGE 10

When it comes to art, Ruth Ballinger Is really a challenger Third in line is Janet Beach At portraying old women she's a peach. Then there's that boy Marvin Betcher If he wants a girl he sure can catch her. Verna Christie is really shy But don’t think she hasn’t got a guy. Elaine Cole really worked hard to get to the top And now she’s there, she’s never going to be a flop. Lynn Cooper is really a jolly lad You can be sure you’ll never see him looking sad. If you see someone coming the last minute into the hall Of course—it’s Ervin Erichsen. Boy, Is he tall! The one from the class who is most fun of all Is the one and only David Ewald. Patricia Griffin really helped to cheer the Stewie team Gee; Can she scream! The boy from the senior class who’s so bright he shines Is none other than Russell Hines.

The guy who always keeps his butch haircut slick Is the Kennedy of the class, of course. Dick. Mary Ann Kerich is a girl who’s really bright But when you poke her in the back she’s ready to fight Evelyn Kidd really is a nice gal She works hard to be everyone’s pal. Dorothea Krahn. a secretary wants to be So she can sit on her boss’s knee. Janis Poeschel should record her giggle and sneeze On records that are locked together w ith golden keys.
