PROPHECY Seated in his private office of the Valerian, this 23rd day of May, 1969, is the editor in chief. Charles H. Kester. After pondering for many hours on his subject matter for the weekly news, he s reminded by the date on the calendar that 20 years ago he graduated from V. H. S. After searching for his information and looking over the items sent in by his star reporter and former debating partner. Bob Wenzel, he prints the current news of his classmates under the heading of THE CLASS OF '49. MAKES GOOD (?) Helen Orr, Ph.D. (Piled Higher and Deeper), is the head professor at the University of Montana. Janet Kingston is pounding, and I do mean pounding, science into the heads of the Class of '75. Better luck this timel Theresa Boumans is excavating for copper in Butte. Tom Bnden is busily mounting animals for fabulous sums —he needs it to keep Helen Pauli (nee), one of the ten best dressed women of the year, and kiddies clothed and fed. Dan Stokes and sons have purchased their tenth Cadillac after striking oil on their vast farm on the Reservation. Bob Slezak, after 20 years, is still working for that bachelor's degree. Never say die. Bob. Nancy Pulver is in Alaska—Glenn will never give up. The last gold rush was in 1849. Ruth Russell is busy raising coons and kids on the fa mous Nelson Coon Farms in Nebraska. CLASS We, the class of 1949, in departing from Valier High School leave these, our most cherished possessions, to the less fortunate who lack them: George Den Boer leaves a foot of his height and 40 pounds to Boyd Henneman in hopes he'll grow. Jim Tidyman leaves his good luck to Kim Nelson because he's had so much of it. Dan Stokes leaves his red hair to next year's football team to be used as a danger signal. Bob Wenzel leaves his black hair to Bev Eppe in hopes she won't bleach it. Ruth Culleton leaves her placid disposition and conduct to Ev Barendson to help him sit still. Bob Slezak leaves his mistakes in Bookkeeping to next year's class. Florence Habets leaves her 5 feet of height to Don Light-ner for next year's basketball season. Ruth Russell leaves her winning smile to Mr. Guthrie to be used in his assemblies. Bernice Van de Popelier leaves her name to anyone who can shorten it and still use it as she did. Helen Stoltz leaves her ability to draw to Chet Schendel for next year's tournaments. Tom Briden leaves old Valier High, taking his most prized possession with him. He says he can't leave her. Helen Pauli leaves her good looks and figure to the freshman class and there ought to be enough to go around. Pat Cronk leaves her chair in Chemistry to someone who likes to sit on tacks as well as she did. Connie Sheble, after using up 64 cameras and numerous films, has taken up portrait painting. George Den Boer, prominent rancher and farmer of the Dupuyer vicinity, has just become mayor of Rattlesnake Gulch, a suburb. Patsy Cronk is starring in the rodeo at Madison Square Garden with her trick horse. Cricket. Doris Yeager is head nurse of the Maternity ward at Havre. Ruth Culleton is still working hard to exceed her typing record of 160 words a minute. Darleen Embody and hex four children are still occupying the Pwere mansion on the heights. Betty Kibbee is teaching commercial at Valier High. She says she is learning a lot from some of the students. Florence Habets has just broken her 102nd consecutive engagement. Hasn't that ring wore out yet? Bernice Van De Popelier is now on tour throughout the U. S. in a new Roadmaster Buick. She owns the General Motors Company now. Jim Tidyman went back to V. H. S. for a post-graduate course 16 years ago. Alice W. certainly must be a good teacher. Betty Myhre has discovered a formula which has revolutionized auick reducing. Her new sensational product is called 2-Hour Reducing Tablets. Helen Stoltz :s now a quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. She always was a quick thinker. WILL Theresa Boumans wills her position as business manager of everything that comes up to anyone who gets stuck with it. Betty Kibbee leaves her position as typist for the Panther to some poor Junior, with her blessings and gravest misgivings. Janet Kingston wills her ability to wage fierce rivalry to the sophomore girls. Betty Myhre leaves her pleasant disposition to Louis De-Boo to cheer him up a little. Connie Sheble wills her high place on the Kansas State tests to Clarence Wright, who wants up there so badly. Darleen Embody wills her magnetic personality to the entire student body and what's left over is for the faculty. Helen Orr leaves her place at the head of the honor roll to Jack Tidyman, who looks like a cinch to succeed her. Doris Yeager leaves her place as assistant editor of the Panther to someone else who likes to write the editor's editorials. Nancy Pulver leaves her freckles to Bob Bruner, who has a few already but believes in the old saying. You can't have too much of a good thing. Chuck Kester leaves, much to the relief of the faculty. The entire senior class leaves the good times, classes, troubles they've caused, and all that goes with high school behind, and with regrets.
