Our future, our actions, our looks-f-Yike, what a shock! Now that we mention teachers, isn't that the noted scientist, james Bjerke, who discovered, after long hours of re- search and experiment, how to eat grapefruit without having it squirt in one's eyes? Yes, it must be, for, surrounding him are his chief testers, joan Foss, janet Sproul, and F em Simonson. ln the root beer garden, laid out on the tables we find--samples of clothing made by the Hansoneva Sportswear Company, with john and Palmer on hand to waylay unsuspecting customers. They took this over back in 1950 after one of them married the bossis daughter. Helen Heggestad, Atlantic City beauty contest winner, is modeling the sports costumes created especially for her by Hansoneva. We can't describe it here, but, ,...,,. confidentially, it's sensational! Bob Grefsheim and his wife, the former Dorothy Visaas, are joint tailors in this clothing firm. Dorothy still cuts a fine figure and sews a straight seam, while right at the moment Bob is trying to revolutionize a garment for the younger generation by making something to replace the former three cornered style. A little farther on, Doris Hoel's Best in the Westn malted milk concern is doing a rushing business tonight. When Dick Sperle and jim Smithback left Stoughton High, Uncle Ole willed Doris his secret formula for malted-making, for it was of no use to him anymore. Doris has made good use of the formula and soon expects to retire in searci of a more adventurous occupation-she says she might even get married. As we down the last drop of our fifteen-center, Barbara Lewis breezes past us. By the pink in her cheeks, it looks as if she and Howard have been at it again. Of course this is an old story by now, and we know that they'll be back together again holding hands in the dark. Over at the far table Dick Huston and Vernon Humberg are discussing the possibilities of their chain of Dairy Bars along the Milky Way. Vernon's Humbergers have been such a success that he is looking for new worlds to con uer. q Long john Silver Iverson has left his career of pirateering to be with us tonight. There are rumors being cir- culated that he is going to settle down with his boyhood ideal, Betty Terry. CThat is, if she can corner him.D Shirley Jacobsen and her all girl football team, the Purple Panzers, are preparing to blitz the undefeated Mars Manglersn in the Lava Bowl on New Year's Day. Shirley's brilliant quarterbacking has astounded grid experts. All Iolting Jake will say is, Tomorrow, weire going to get out there and fight. Ruth Lacy and Geraldine Larson, the famed Touchback Twins, have shined their brass knuckles and sharpened their fingernails in preparation for the encounter. With these two the odds are 10 to 1 against the Manglers. Admirals Bob Montague and Jerry johnson are traveling to Mars to promote universe solidarity between Mars and the United States. These gentlemen distinguished themselves in the defeat of the Jap Navy fifteen years ago. They have been asked to remove their medals tonight as the glare is injurious to human eyes. The whole upper suite of the Sperle Stratoliner is occupied by Virginia johnson, Eleanor Kalland, and Lois Frey, whose affinity for children has caused them to open the Rock-a-bye Adoption Agency. One of the girlis first customers was graying, bachelor, Orlin Kong who says: I want to hear the patter of little feet and know that there will be a little one to follow in my footsteps after I'm gonef' Iim afraid the little tyke is destined for a bad end. Marylis Showers, the editor of that popular turf edition, Good Horsekeeping, finally ditched the Navy to become better half of that turf trainer, Bud Scheldrup. Mr. and Mrs. Scheldrup have just returned from South America, where Bud looked over some good thoroughbred prospects and his wife, just some prospects. Let us meander into the Sky Room where we see a little friendly four-handed poker game going on. The two old salts with the C. P. O. ratings are Norman and Lawrence who left the dear old Alma Mater for careers in the Navy. That man with the long black mustache and a gun in his hip pocket is Bob Sundby and lo and behold, if that gentle- man dealing himself off the bottom of the deck isnit Duane Wee Thorson-Duane almost didn't get to make our party.. He was in the middle of court proceedings for his third divorce. Ah, here's a friendly little circle of alumni sitting around the table drinking root beers. Who are they?????? Well, I'll be darned! That gent with the beard is jim Smithback and even though he uses a cane, he still is the main- stay of the Chicago Bears as their fullback. fWonderful thing, these vitamin pillsl. And there are David Natvig and john Nelson gazing quietly at El Doris Hagen. She has been telling them about her new job with a circus. She and Bernice Neilson do a trapeze act. They fairly Hoat through the air. Bemice, she says, was unable to come to the party as she missed her cue, fell three-hundred feet, and broke her fingernail. Up at the har, Dorothy Greig, June Quale, and Gail Sveum are engaged in deep conversation with bartender Burge We hear Burge say, Oh, I could have had the Rocket tonight, but I didn't want it. The same old Burge. Incidentally, we notice Eileen Rein and Marian Reirson, supervised by Burthe Slinde, as they help take care of the guests. And now and then we catch a glimpse of Barbara Kline as she graciously smiles upon everyone. But as we have seen, nearly everyone from t e class of 1943 has made the rocket ship for the trip to Mars where will be held our 1960 reunion. If we had time to report that history-making epoch, we would be able to give you even more gossip about our old classmates. However, Donald Swingen, the one who swallowed the printing bug as a small boy, has just finished his apprenticeship as a printer's devil on a large southern Wisconsin newspa er and promises that the first edition of the newspaper which he is about to print will carry a complete account ofP the pecularities and achievements of the Class of 1943.
