SENIOR CLASS PROPHECYH Qcontinuedj Again the screen is clouded. Now we are in a baseball stadium and there is Galen Marks, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Looks like he's trying to make a bet with one of the Yanksl Guess he'l1 never learn. Our next view takes us to the great New York Business Association Building. Beside the desk of the president sits Darlene Zurcher. Looks like she's making out fine. Good looking boss, too. Now we are taken to Norfolk, Nebraska, where we find Lois Thies completing her latest book on HOW TO CATCH A MAN AND KEEP HIM. Hope she has success. Suddenly we are in a magnificent castle inEngland. Why are we here? Was there royalty in ourclass that was unknown to us? Yes, there sits Lady Saxon, and in getting closer we know it is Marva Jean Zauner. She fits into this luxurious setting as though it was meant for her, alonel The castle fades and now we are witnessing a wedding in the midst of a group of photographers. Don Klieder is the one we recognize. He got along so good with the girls--his wife will surely have a time! Next we are in a kitchenwatchingShirley Appel busy making a cake. It looks as if she, too, is happily married. Again the scene changes and through the mist we see a five star general in command. He is none other than Kenneth Eggers! We always knew Kenneth would make a good soldier. The next scene is that of an office. Seated behind a big desk we see Edith Rahde. She is the president of a girl's business college. Looks as if she, too, has been successful. Our scenes are starting to fade out but we are still able to see one. It is Karleen Sanne writing a book on HOW TO GET ALONG WITH YOUR IN-LAWS. Seems she's having a little trouble that way. Well, we have reached the end of our ride in the Star Queen. From what we have seen, our classmates have been successful in the jobs they have chosen for themselves. CLASS HISTORY Away back, years ago, it seems a startling event occurred in the year 1940. This marked the beginning of a tireless education for some yet enjoyable and successful education for others. They had previously thought that school was a wonderful place, all full of surprises. were they correctly instructed or were they to be sadly dis- illusioned--that was to be found out by only 12 kindergarten pupils starting out on this great adventure. They were: La Rita Cornettg Euveda Jacobs: Jackie Hanseng Kenneth Knoxg Galen Marksg Shirley Schwartingg Shirley Shupeg Ronney Skrivang Marilyn Thompson and Gracy White and Carol Reikofski. Of these, three have the honor of remaining to graduate together: namelyg Galen Marks, Ronney Skrivan, Jackie Hansen and Carol Reikofski.

Shirley Appel wills her quiet manner to Bill Barr. Make good use of it, Bill. Delores Bossard leaves her giggle disease toGaleHawk. Just watch it during Coach's classes. Janice Botsford wills her boldness around Mr. Melis to Eleanor Wagner. Don't let him scare you. I, Kenneth Eggers, will my nickname, Smiley, to Ronney Warneke. Jackie Hansen wills her freckles to theFreshman. Don't fight Kids! There's enough to go around. Don Kleider leaves his Romeo technique with the girls to Gene Kelly. It's easy, Gene, once you learn how. Bruce Lindahl hands down his recipe for home brew to Gary Seifert. I, Galen Marks, will my OLD girlfriends to anybody who thinks they can follow in my footsteps. I, Edith Rahde, will my love for shorthand to all the shorthand haters. Carol Reikofski wills her ability to geta man at an early ageand keep him to Joyce Horrocks. Good Luck. Karleen Sanne bestows her ability to keep up a lively chatter at all times to Ardeth Curtis, who I am sure won't let it die out. Shirley Schultz leaves her seat by the window to her sister, Darlene, also the gum supply. Just watch your chewing and me teachers. By great decision, Shirley Sharples, wills her long hair to Delois Bellar. Ronney Skrivan leaves his genius characteristic for writing themes to Carol Schutt. lt's lot of fun.

I know you will be able to take over without any trouble. To the Freshman we leave our high rank among the teachers. To the upstarting Sophomores, we leave our ability to get by with murder in classes at anytime, any- where and anyhow. To the high and mighty J uniors, we leave what is left of Mr. Melis, that is after we are through with him. You can have him with all the trimmings, then. We leave to Mr. Horrocks all the mice in the Bookkeeping room. You have just heard the last will and testimony to the class of '54, Take it to heart. With misty eyes we leave those good old days behind us and step out into the world.
