to care for their penguins. It seems Bonnie has fallen for a cute eskimo, and the Blondie Myers' may soon have to find a new nursemaid. By the way. Tom Hoxie has recently won the title from Charles Atlas as the World’s Most Perfectly Developed Man. Despite his fame he is going ahead with his life long ambition of selling hot dogs in Siberia. Have you read anything in the papers about New York's famous District Attor- ney, B. L. Greer? You have probably guessed by this time that she is none other than our Betty Greer. She has been seen about town lately with Don Smith, the President and Chief Director of the Inter-World of Sports Affiliation for the Bet terment of Athletic Subtilization. Before he was elected he was the famous coach at Northwestern who initiated the still more famous basketball play called The Smith System. How are you and your husband doing on your rattlesnake farm in the wilds of Arizona? I would love to come out and visit you, but you see I am allergic to rattlesnakes. One of the passengers injured in the recent airplane crash on the west coast, was our classmate. Doris Ann Smith. She was better known as Madame Chichi La- Rouge, the famous night- club singer. She was on her way to Reno for her ninth di- vorce. Last and least is our romantic Junior Hilkey, who now lives in Arabia. He is still hunting pretty girls for his Follies of 1955. At present, he is trying to decide whether to keep on with his search in the East or come back to the U. S. and find something better to do with his money. Well, it’s time to close for now so good luck and so long for this year. Yours truly, Ruth Bowman SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We. the class of 1945, started our long hard path of knowledge under the super- vision of Miss Bolton. Our other grade teachers were Miss Newcomer. Miss Ham- man, Miss Dirrim, Mr. McIntosh, Mr. Gurtner and Mr. Bowers. In 1941, our Freshman year, we were guided by Miss Deer and Mr. Smith. Miss Fuchshuber and Mr. Bohr were our sponsors in our Sophomore year until Mr. Bohr, who entered the service, was replaced by Mr. Heywood. Due to another call from Uncle Sam. Miss Fuchshuber was left to carry on alone until Mr. Leslie came. In our Junior year Mr. Leslie was our sponsor. Our main events were the pur- chase of our class rings and our class play, Campus Quarantine. This year, our Senior and last year of high school, Mrs. Voss is our home-room teacher. We've sold magazines and collected paper to raise money for our annual. Although several of our classmates have gone into the service, we still retain our class spirit and will remember the dreams of the past and look forward to the dreams of the future. Page 15

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY May 20. 1954. My dear Deloris: While doing my spring house cleaning the other day. I ran across the old 1945 annual and our school pictures. It immediately brought back memories of our school days and the good times we had together. Remember how Rosie Donaldson was always flirting? She is still at it. for in the Waterloo Times the other day was a picture of her, Howard Bowman, the former Notre Dame football coach, and Dallas Myers, the famous author whose latest book is HOW TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE IN THREE EASY LESSONS. It seems Rosie had promised to marry both of them and now she is breaking their hearts for some- one else. And Marilyn Luce is now Mrs. Albert Sattison. At present she is teaching her two lovely daughters how to run a beauty salon on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. In the latest Movieland Magazine you will find a picture of Milly Barnhart, the newest Hollywood motion picture star, who is now co-stared with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in The Three Stooges. She still has her cap set for the famous multi- millionaire. Gene Bowman, who made his millions by inventing the famous Airplane without Wings, that you have heard so much about lately. Oh, yes. you remember LaMar Imhoff, the boy who was the crooner of Water- loo? He was the star of the Hit Parade and idol of the Bobby Socks crowd until he caught claustrophobia which cracked his voice. In last night’s paper was a picture of Aurelia Johnson, who has just returned from Paris where she has been studying art. She has taken a position as cartoonist for Esquire and is using Margaret O'Brien, the famous model, for her illustrations. On a news broadcast this morning, I heard that our bashful classmate Bob Bain- bridge is one of the world’s greatest heroes. It seems that while he was in Japan (what is left of it) he rescued some American prisoners yet held from World War II. Among them was Roy Witt, the famous Navy Lieutenant. Also in the paper was an article on Jim Stonebraker who is still wrecking cars. Oh, well, it doesn’t surprise me, since he now owns a combined car lot and junk yard, and he has to have something to run his business. Of course you remember our faithful secretary, Dee Johnson? She has given up teaching jitter-bugging to the natives of Hawaii and she and that well-known Waterloo play girl, Jo Smith, have gone into Darkest Africa hunting that handsome hunk of man, Tarzan. And Eileita Roop is now married to the manager of the J. J. Newberry 5 and 10 at Auburn. I don't knowwhichis the boss, he or she. Iris Leins finally chose one of her many boy friends to settle down with and is now living at the home ofher father-in-law, John Shore, while her husband, Quenton. is away on a business trip. And little Blondie Myers is now living in an igloo with his eskimo wife. At the present they are raising penguins, and have employed Bonnie Roush as a nursemaid Page 14
