Senior Skip Day An enthusiastic group of Seniors set out at 4:00 a. m. on Friday, May 20, to Denver for their skip day. We stopped at the “Pepper Pod” for breakfast, then went on to Denver ar- riving at 9:00. We then went to the zoo and had great fun looking at all of the animals. This took up quite a bit of time, but after that, we went to the Fitzsimmons hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the United States. We found his a very nice place to go, as it was interesting as well as educational. After dinner we visited the U. S. Mint and found it a very interesting place. The only difficulty was that the guides were forced to carry a gun to keep some of us away from “you know what.” We then took an extensive tour through the Denver Post and were very much amazed at the complicated process involved in putting out such a paper. Whew! They do it every day. One of the most interesting places we visited, was the museum. We couldn’t go through all of it, but what we did see, we enjoyed immensly. Of course, the boys wanted to go to Lowry Field, so some of the girls went along, while others went shopping. We couldn’t go to Denver without seeing a show, so after supper, we all went to one. It was good, but we were beginning to get a little tired by the time we got out. We pulled out of Denver at a rather late time of the night, but we were a tired and happy bunch of Seniors, well pleased with all we had seen and done, on our one and only, skip day! li

Senior Class Prophesy Here we are in the year 1969, twenty years after the graduation of a truly fine senior class from Sutherland High. Well, let’s scout around and see what the forty-niners are doing now. There’s a rumor that Tom Nielsen has his own dairy farm and that he hired Barbara Kallhoff to help him run the milking machines. Fred Cox and John Kessler never were contented to date Sutherland girls so they go to Mars in their super deluxe rockets every Saturday night to see their gals there. Erma Jean Bierma, who was president of the senior class, is now president of the National Nursing School. Her motto is—“If the body is still warm—we’ll cure it.” She is also romanticly inclined with a red headed doctor. Bob Roberts, who always was a fast talker is teaching the African Pygmies how to speak Eng- lish in three easy lessons. You’re probably wondering what happened to Beth Finecy. Well she went to Nebraska Wes- leyan and gained fame traveling with their orchestra as their famous piano soloist. Jim Cox graduated from N.U. and established his super-deluxe drug store in Sutherland which incidental- ly takes up a whole block and he now has Mr. Anold working for him. Then Beth quit college and she and Jim settled down on a modern farm. They have ten children so far. You know her Mother’s biggest desire was to have 50 grandchildren and Leland is still a bachelor. Albert Poff is a wealthy bean farmer in Kansas. He also went to Japan as a missionary for six months, but gave it up. Too much competition. His competitor, of course, was Hattie Huber. Hattie has been married twenty times. You know Hattie never could make up her mind about which one she truly loved. Most of you see Dick Warren quite often. He is living here in Sutherland. He isn’t married yet. He and Delores DePriest are still busy fighting and making up. Gloria Kallhoff went to Oregon to work so she could be near Pete. She is working as a model for a very famous magazine called “Lookie, Lookie.” She and Pete are engaged, but she doesn’t want to give up her career so they are going to wait twenty more years. She always said she’d never marry until she was sixty! Marvin Stark is a well known game warden in Nebraska. He flies a helicopter and just recent- ly arrested Paul Maxwell for hunting geese out of season. Warren Kennedy, the skyscraper of the class of ’49, never stopped growing and he is now so tall that he washes windows in the Empire State Building, standing on the ground. Alberta Meyen took over her dad’s trucking business and is now head of one of the biggest trucking firms in the Middle West. Lila Humphrey married Clarence Arensdorf and they live up in the sand hills where they run a Dude Ranch called the “Tumble Weed.” The twelve children furnish entertainment and also take care of the horses so they don’t have to hire anyone to work for them. Bill Coker has made his way to fame and fortune as a rough ’n tough, shoot ’em up good and dead, cowboy in the movies. Incidently, he bought Cherry county last week as he decided to do a little ranching (as a hobby of course.) It seems that John Mills has become the ‘Dan Dailey’ of Broadway. He sings, he dances, he clowns, he cracks jokes; he even acts. Besides being the greatest comedian, actor, and dancer of the decade, he is also known as the “Great Lover.” Wherever he goes he is completely mobbed by women. Are you happy, Johnny? I guess Ruthe Johnston never got those corny gags out of her system. Anyway she married Bing Crosby and they are engaged in raising corn on a farm south of Sutherland. Incidently, that isn’t all they are raising! You remeber Marjorie Winter, the friendly girl with the famous smile. Well, she combined her love of horses with her riding ability and became a famous jocky. Up to date, she has won the Kentucky Derby three times besides numerous other races. Fred Astaire has given up his contract in the movies to Richard McVay, who was always so light on his feet. And now, Richard has the part of a handsome, dancing casinova in the new M.G.M. picture, “The McVay Way.” Don Main is the famous male attraction at “Slapie Maxies” in Hollywood. But he has been considering the idea of tearing up his contract because in the past week he has had three tuxedoes ruined and almost had his famous musical knee broken by the mobs of beautiful stars who tear him to pieces trying to persuade him to be their leading man. This happens every time and every- where he sings. Betty Hughes married Bud Priel a year after graduation and they now live in Sun Valley, Idaho in their super-deluxe trailer house. But they have started to look for another place to live, a larger house, because the trailer is getting rather crowded with their two sets of twins and a set of quadruplets. 13
