X v ll: . glmlllll-asglllwk ' p g . llllllllwlwlifwlwliri CLASS PROPI-IECY I, the unthanked prophet of the Class of 1926 of the Technical High School, wearily wended my way to the great Marjah. I told him that I wished to know the fates of that class as they were decreed for the first day of June I946. The Marjah tuned in on a couple of Coca Cola bottles and hair curlers and told me some startling things. I am not responsible for them and simply tell them as they were told to me. Leo Gans is the Prime Minister of Sweden where he is debating on the Child Labor question and putting in a plea for Soviet Russia. Leo was accompanied by his valet Bertie Hansen who wished to meet some Swedish beauties. Van Alderman is also in the party traveling incognito. Van is reported to be analyzing Bertie's love complexes with sulphuric acid and a blow torch. Marion Flanagan is looking up her Swedish ancestors while Madeline Rice is busy setting the styles in the court and learning various dia- lects in case Mr. Gans is transfered to Ireland or Japan. Arthur Imm has stirred up two continents and South Africa with his startling socialistic theories on the division of wealth. john Brandley is his chief interpreter while Harry Atwood is his publicity man- ager besides being editor of the Sauk Rapids Sentinel with Donald Barrett, Elizabeth Crary, Lewis Barrett, Alice Bailey, and Sybil Kuhn as his news hounds. Harry Cater and Alphonse Engel are keeping up their athletic careers, Harry by conducting the G. N. R. R. and Alphonse by managing the Upsula city team. Howard Nichols another athlete of re- nown, was found cheating in the 440 yard pole vault. He used water wings. Marvin Keyte has had an- other hurdle race with Helen Filkey and so proved for all time that Sir Walter Raleigh was one of his ancestors. Laura Vasaly, Frances FitzGerald, Margaret Tschumperlin, and Ruth Niskern have joined the Greenwich Village Colony. Laura is doing futuristic paintings which have caused much comment. Frances has become a feminist and abhors the sight of man. Margaret is writing vers libre, and Ruth writes and criticizes plays. Raymond Goedert is President of the American Tobacco Company with the following chief testers as assistants: Albert Marvin, David Freeburg, Herman Boethin, Earl Carlson, and Emil Senzek. Marion Kneusel is building radio sets for President Brown of the University of St. Cloud. A broadcasting station has recently been installed with Clarence Kopp, Marion Neide, and Elizabeth Strohm broadcasting discords. Viola Benson is the prima donna in Zieglield's Faust while Grace Ramstack plays the lead in Abie's Irish Rose. The bathing beauties are: Mosie Brown, Robert Edelbach, Sven Peterson, Adelaide Zapf, and Martha Rau. Emil Larson has taken the place of Ned Wayburn, and Gladys Bos- trom is the athletic instructor. Almie Schoener has the lead in Clayton Stiles' latest South Sea Island production The Lost Senior which was written by Mary Anne Weisman, Thelma Wahlberg, and Lorraine Wolter. They were assisted by Mr. Frank Hady. Mildred Cannon and Marlin Barker are running an ammunition factory. Kenneth Cleall con- ducts their radio station by telling bed-time stories of Babe Ruth Davidson, and of Margaret Cairns who is now the contralto in the Royalton Grand Opera. K n-icmxx .il Y g Wm , ,

Lady Sawyer appeared at the head of the line in the broad domain of English and Lady Cross and Sir Mendenhall bade them lift up their voices and speak the wisdom they had gleaned on the way. And this year the Order of '26 captured the golden maze of the junior Ball for themselves and bade new bands that followed up the slope to stand afar off. So they came to the last steep ascent. With the goal in sight they rushed forward joyously. Sir Leo Gans, the Silver-tongued, became Grand Knight. But the ladies had been bitten by the bug of Woman's Right and now, despite many a knightly protest, selected a Sybil to assist the chosen knight in leading the band. It was at this point a band of strolling players crossed the path of the Order of '26, and four faith- less maidens did sever themselves from the noble Order of Twenty-six and go stepping with the trouba- dours. Progress was hindered by an acute attack of senioritis which greatly alarmed the guides and the Princess on the throne. Many were disabled. Here the band came upon a veritable jungle in which bears and bulls and every specie of BETE NOIR roamed LAISSEZ-FAIRE. On either side of the band walked Valiant guides, Sir Romeo Zulauf and Sir Frank I-lady who at length extracted the band from this dark morass. joyously they rush- ed ahead through another beautiful fzeld of English with Lady Haig, jolliest guide of the journey. And presently a great tumult arose in the ranks for a place in the sun, even in the class play. For weeks each vied with each till at length Viola the Fair and Myrtle the loquacious and Piquante Freeda with Arthur the Great and Leo the Silver-tongued and Lewis the Brilliant and Robert the Mighty emerged triumphant. l-lastening swiftly on with Marvin the Marvellous Runner speeding ahead the Order of '26 gained at length the summit where they sat themselves down on a sheepskin and gazed entranced into the Vista stretching before them.

ll I Qlllllx A Q A,.2 Leona Kilborn and Doris Mollerstrom have gone to Paris. Leona plans to study English and Doris is going to perfect the Ultra-Blake Violet ray. Bertha Boos won the National Ciiggling Contest conducted by Clara and Hulda Schnettler and the prize of three thousand pounds of chewing gum. Freeda Gallipo and Gladys Ockerman admire the sailor trousers that Arthur Ness has put on Fords since they started walking. A Audrey, like Nero with his fiddle, is making history in Italy. Audrey is setting Rome aflre with her melodies. She will soon be back in America seeking new conquests. ' Violet Blake has entered the hair dressing profession. She is trying to make a blonde wig for Fred Denchfxeld so he can play the part of Cleopatra in one of the Fannie Wilson productions. just where these transformations will stop no one seems to know except perhaps Alice Johnson who is taking charge of these metamorphoses with the help of her assistants Ruth Kallin and Esther Bohm. Arthur Dragoo and Wilton Frank are attending St. john's College. Arthur has learned ventrilo- quism and all Wilton has to do is just open and shut his mouth when called on while Art recites his lessons for him. Margaret Erickson, Rosella Mallon, Felix Kamrowski, and Martin Kerlanski are the proprieters of Tumble Inn , the notorious road house. Needless to say they make a great deal of money. They boast only one raid a night. Alice Olson, Eleanor Russell, Corrinne Raymond, Adelaide Zapf, Gert- rude Weinstein, Merle Snyder, Hazel Stensrud, Rose Kuchynka, and Elizabeth Hill are frequently seen around the place. Doris Johnson, Viola Gregory, Christine Graham, and Luella Buegler are writing a book on Our Lion Hunting Days. In it they give some interesting statistics on the number of yards of mosquito netting which seems necessary in the Congo. Their trip was not such a great success because instead of rifles they took vanity cases. To Lewis Hansen, Steve Whitaker, Clarence Mence, and David Freeberg the Eskimos are greatly indebted. These boys introduced the latest thing in fly swatters and ukeleles besides the stamp licking machine invented by William Levy. Lawrence Kuffel is busy working on his suspension bridge which is to be suspended from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific Ocean. The bridge will be finished by 2026 if present plans go right. Anne Klassen, Laila Lohn, and Sybil Kuhn wanted to be actresses but couldn't say udram-mah or bah-th without giggling. Their careers were nipped in the bud.- Myrtle Larson and Evelyn Treischel will be on the Columbia faculty. just at present they are writing ads for the Pennock and Weber Mechanical Monkey Firm. The monkey is advertised as hav- ing as many parts as an ordinary sewing machine and sells for half a dime. Evelyn Hall is a mathematics teacher at the St. Cloud College. George Haack is one of her stu- dents. He will probably graduate this year. Another is Merrian Henning who has after twenty years found herself. She has not yet, however, announced her plans for the future. Rosetta McConnell, Jane Moore, and Eileen Moritz are in Switzerland where they enjoy the win- ter sports the year round. These girls confirm the report that Svea Quarforth is engaged to the Prince of Wales. - E V ' . ,. reiere
