Class Prophecy We find ourselves in a world that has advanced ten years since our graduation in l959. Everyone has an atomic powered helicopter. We will be traveling in these 'X 'copters to see the members of our class. Our first visit is to see the old maid of our class, Ioan Mead, who is living in the state of Washington, where she is scaling salmon before she cans them. Ioan hated salmon when she was in Waldo, but she was. determined to use will power. and now she dearly loves the smelly things. Ioan tells us that she has lost touch with some of the class members, but she has heard from Mr. 6: Mrs. Bill Murphy, who are living in Covert. They have a set of twins whose names are Billy and Willy. They also have a little girl named Carol. Since the soil is not too productive on their farm, Marlene suppliments their finances by french frying grasshoppers that are so plentiful in Kansas. She has markets all over the universe. We then travel to New York where Beverly Ward and Mary Stielow are nurses at the Bellevue hospital there. We find them having the time of their lives dating young handsome doctors. They tell us they helicoptered to a party the other night, to the Bahamas and guess who was there--Ramona Lopez and Lionel Caprez. Ramona is teaching the Islanders and Lionel is working on an atomic powered space ship. Lionel hopes to be the first one to go to the moon and return. Many attempts have been made since 1959--the year they graduated--but so far Lionel has come the nearest--about 20 miles--and this is the important--he has returned safely! Then we travel back to the good old state of Kansas where we find Simone, now Mrs. Don Ginther at home on a pickle farm near Hays, Kansas. Simone and Don have two little pickle pluckers, Terri and Larry, Simone tells us that Marian is in Detroit. She is the head of the foods research there, in the Pickle Packers Picnic Package Products. Simone knows this because the Pickle Packers Picnic Package Products buy all their pickles from the Ginthers. Our next stop is to see our faithful sponsor, Miss Cap, who now lives in Wichita, Kansas where she and her husband are retired, doing nothing. Miss Cap said she always wanted to try doing nothing, so she is fast becoming an expert at it. 'k'k'k'k'k1l'

To the Sophomore Class, we leave our quick wits, rapid elucidations, and best of all, our wads of chewing gum that once did animate our own enjoying jaws. But to the poor little Freshmen, with three years more to go in this institution, we can leave only our pity. I, Mary Stielow, bequeath my ability to play basketball to Johnny Trapp and my height to Jimmy Cochran. And my ability to talk all the time to Dina Murphy. I, Beverly Ward, bequeath my old Biology papers to Danny Williams in case he needs them next year and my pony tail to Sandy Caruthers. I, Ramona Lopez, bequeath my ability to play the piano to Kenton Ward and my fast typing speed to Jimmie Wilson hoping he will do the same., I, Joan Mead, bequeath my short hair to Betty Murphy and to make most of the baskets when shooting in basketball to Sherry Ramsey. I, Billy Murphy, will my ability to get in before my father gets up to Bonnie Ramsey and my old parking places to Ethel Clow to use the same way I did. I, Marlene Day, bequeath my ability to get along with Mickey Palmer to Kathie Luder and my old tricks I use to catch the boys with to Verna Hazen. I, Simone Urban, bequeath my ability to be going steady in my Senior year to Carolyn Finkenbinder and my ability to get along with Miss Cap to Larry Woodworth.

To this school, our beloved Alma Mater, in order to show our appreciation of all that it has done for us, we in this last will and testament, hereby bequeath the amount of ten thousand memories, with which to erect a bronze tablet, a lasting memorial of the Senior Class of 1959. Signed at Waldo High School this, the 20th day of May, 1959. WITNESSETH: 1,--,!,.,.... -
