V IVN ep In the Metropolitan Opera we found DORIS KUCHENREUTHER, a mezzo soprano in the leading role, and singing opposite was a great basso, KENT HOOVER, who carried his tune in a bushel basket. In Atlantic City was the Mrs. America contest. Here we found MAR- CINE HANNA had just won over 64 other girls and is going to compete in the Mrs. Universe contest. I don't think she will have any trouble winning it because DONALD RIPPENTROP is the chief judge. It couldn't be that an old classmate would show favoritism could it? Jane Froman finally retired from TV and a young up and coming star took her place. This star was none other than VERLA JANES. After ROBERT HOFMANN was through school he grew to be seven feet, three inches in height and was the star player for the Minneapolis La- kers. DONALD GERDIS played pro football with the Chicago Bears. Of course he was farmed out to the Titonka Cubs for years before the bears ac- cepted him. GERTRUDE HARMS and her husband now own three fourths of I- daho and are raising potatoes. Not far from them I found RONALD KRA- USE and his German Valley Store . His store has gotten so large that he hired MARLYS STECKER as a clerk at S40 a day, and she was promised a raise. ft 3 f J cj V 9 fi r iw - 4 L .. if! ' ELAINE SONNENBERG because of her excellent speed at typing fo- und herself a top typist in the State House. She also serves as private secre- tary to Senator GLEN WELP. ROBERT EDEN now owns a 650 acre farm and is very prosperous. He is raising pigeons on his farm. Teaching in the Titonka School SHARON SCHUTJER and ROSE BOEVER. Sharon has the eighth grade and Rose the first grade. The Supt. is none other than DAVID BOECKHOLT and his secretary is VIOLET BAADE. He enforced the rule of running to classes instead of walking be- cause he was so fond of running in his school days. My dream came to an end when my grandchildren came bounding into the room. I hope that all the classmates will have as dreamy a future as I had, as ever JANE AMESBURY.

PROPHECY In my old age I sat in my rocking chair paging through my scrap book until I came to a picture of my classmates. This set me to wondering what happened to all my old friends. As I sat thinking about them I dropped off into dreamland. The first one to appear in my dream was MYRTH AKKERMAN, she was running a first class elephant farm in Africa. Next appeared MARILYN CALLIES, EVELYN WILLEMSSEN, and GLORIANN TJARKS. They are all nurses but they say Gloriann was leaving the profession soon to mar- ry a millionaire, who was one of her patients. The other two are definitely going to be old maids. As I was walking down the street I saw a sign which said Van Hove's Parlor of Peace one block north. I followedthis sign and found JAMES VAN HO'VE as the mortician for his brother's funeral parlor. He took me home to meet his wife who was none other than SHIRLEY EDEN. Her maid was another classmate, PHYLLIS SWYTER. It seemed they were such good friends in high school that they couldn't be separated and James could only marry one. DEAN BOYKEN and ERNEST BEENKEN had a combination lunch room and service station. Their motto is L Service with a Wink , and to help them with business was MARILYN PETERSON, who was always a good natured gal in her school daysg she was their chief cook and bottle washer. COLLEEN RIPPENTROP is an interior decorator. Her first class pain- ter is DONALD FRITZ. Their project for the week was the decorating of the White House, for the President, which is none other than HERBERT HARMS. RUSSELL FISHER and LARRY PETERSON are his Chauf- feur's and each are driving the latest car especially designed for him. The car is a cross between a hot rod and Mehlan's old Ford better known as a puddle jumper. What a car. MARCELLA BOEKELMAN is a Power's Model in Chicago. Working across the street in Arthur Murray's dance studio was GRESHAM ROS- KAMP. He always did like the girls. Hump. That was funny, can you think of anything better to like? BETTY MILLER and RITA MILLER now own the Waldorf Astoria. WILLIAM SMIDT is chief janitor. It took him quite a while to work up that far. THELMA ULLMANN and GARY ZWEIFEL own Tonys Super Mar- ket , the largest in the midwest. They give away rotten potatoes as a cus- tomer special.

Clementine has to ask a boy and she asks Hank, explaining that her mother wanted her to ask him. Hank didn't like this ungracious invitation so when Cathy invites him to go with her, he accepts. Clem enters the oratorical contest against Hank and wins the con- test. Clem also incenses Miss Pringle, who is a big influence in town elections and Clem's father is running for mayor. It looks as if her carelessness is pro- bably going to cost her Dad the election. Again Clem acts, and she confesses to Miss Pringle and admits where she was wrong and sells the fiery old girl on her Dad's program, and really makes it work. In doing this she also wins Hank back. 5019-vlllw mtg Wk' 4 ,wggvtbgsfs gy, fg5a ,: 'sf 'Z:qag,::,g33,, :v ':.-:. 'W' V --' . ' gg -. . g, 'I Sq 1 , kt . ' uw . I I, 'ii A Z?13fg5 '5t?wf '23i QS.
