CLASS PROPHECY Jo Ann and I left our jobs with the C.B.S. net- work on the West Coast and boarded a plane for Chicago in hopes of securing a job with another network. As we raced to the plane who should we see climbing into the cockpit but Warren Monson. On one of our stops on the way to Chicago we had a few minutes time so we stopped to chat with Warren. He told us that he was now the top rank- ing pilot of the United Air Lines. He also told us that on a stop over in New York he had attended the Ice Follies and to his surprise the star of the show was none other than Rosalee Newman. It was take off time again and much to our regret we found that we had to change planes and so we said goodby to Warren and were off on our way to Chicago and success, we hoped. As we stepped off the plane a taxi came to a screeching stop by the gate. As the driver jumped out we were not at all surprised to see Bob Johnson. On our breath taking ride to the studios Bob told us that at the end of this week he was leaving his job as a taxi driver for the quieter life of an Auto Dare Devil driver. Shortly after we reached the studio we were in- terviewed for jobs and a few days later we were very happy to learn that we had secured positions as Mistresses of Ceremonies on the Welcome Travelers show. We soon heard that our sponsor for the first quarter hour was “Pete’s Peppy Peppers and Other Spices”. When we first met our sponsor in person we were much surprised to find that it was none other than Sterling Peterson, an oldclassmate of W.H.S. We talked withSterling for a few minutes and learned that he was now living in New York and that he had come to Chicago to find new shows to sponsor. The tech- nician interrupted us saying that we were on the air in one minute. As we turned to say we were ready we recognized none other than Frank Olson, but as we were to go on the air we left them with plans to meet later and talk over old times. As we were leaving the studio after our first successful show we heard our names paged over the loudspeaker that we were wanted at the re- ceptionist’s desk. As we approached the desk who should come forward to greet us but Joyce Norman. She had seen our names on the broad- casting list and wondered if it could be the same JOHNSON MOBILGAS STATION Reynold Johnson, prop. Friendly Service ones she had gone to school with back in Wausa High. The three of us met Frank and Sterling at the door and decided to go to Anglos for dinner. After a delicious dinner the spotlight was focused on, “Herold’s High and Happy Bohemians”, and to our surprise when the leader turned around it was none other than Denny Herold. During inter- mission he came over to our table for a chat. He was happy to meet so many old friends and he told us that Wylie Burns was now singing with the Metropolitan Opera. After a very pleasant even- ing we returned to our hotel. The next morning as I was reading the paper I noticed an advertise- ment announcing the arrival of the world’s cham- pion lady wrestler, none other than Joy Hult. I rushed in to tell Jo Ann about it and we immedi- ately secured tickets for the match. Our special guest for today’s program was the quiz master of the Quiz Kids Program. This was, of course, Malvern Seagren. After the program we learned from him that VaNoy Westadt was a wild game hunter in Alaska. Malvern had also tolked toMarlyn Carlson a few weeks before and learned that he was on his way to France to do a series on “The Sights of Paris” for the Saturday Evening Post. We were not surprised for we remembered even back in high school Marlyn was interested in Photography. When we received our first pay check we, like all other women, decided to go shopping. As we strolled down the avenue window shipping we came across a quaint little shop called Modamoi- selle Dresse Shoppe. The chic little suit in the window caughtour eye and we immediately entered the store. The proprietress greeted us at the door and told us to be seated for the fashion parade was to begin soon. As the models paraded in front of us we spotted a familiar face. We smiled at her and she smiled back at us. There was then no doubt in our mind about who it was. We knew immediately it was Marcia Moline. After the fash- ion parade she helped us select our new dresses. We talked to her for a few minutes before she had to rush off for another fashion parade. We were talking about our TV show and she asked us if we had seen Barbara Enquist’s homemaking show called “Barb’s Open House . We told her we had not seen is as yet, but would look for it. COLESON-HOLMQUIST CO. Phone 2 Wausa, Nebraska Several months later, we were reading a news- paper over our breakfast coffee, when we noticed that the Corinne Griffiths, the famous novelist, who wrote “How to Catch Your Man , was coming to Chicago. We knew what a famous person she was and wanted her for a guest star on our show. When we went to her hotel suite to ask her to be our guest star we were astounded to find it was none other than Beverly Monson, another class- mate of “54” from Wausa. Of course, she had gotten her man and was very happily married. During our very interesting interview she told us that during her travels abroad she had talked with another classmate, Rhoda Hult. We learned that she was now professor in a college in Italy. Bev consented to our request to appear on our show so we left her with plans to see her next week. We got tired of sitting around in our stuffy apartment every night and decided to go out for an evening’s entertainment. We purchased tickets for Chicago Stadium for we knew they always have an interesting program . As we neared the gate we saw posters advertising the famous “Bloomer Girls Basketball Team . This at once aroused our interest and we hurried inside to our seats. It was a very thrilling first quarter and when we looked at our programs to find out who those very good forwards were, we were amazed to find it was Celia Kumm and Yvonne Erickson, the stars of the show. This made the game much more interesting for us and after a glorious vic- tory we went back stage to talk to our old friends. They were very much surprised to see us. We could not pass up a long talk with our friends so we invited them up to our apartment for a mid- night snack. They informed us while they were on tour in France they saw Lauren Juracek, who was in Paris furthering his studies in art. They also told us that Barbara Anderson was a featured star in the musical show “Oklahoma , which was now on tour in Europe. Before long they had to rush off to catch their plane for New York. On the way to the studios in the morning the taxi in which we were riding blew a head gasket. The taxi driver put in a call to the nearest garage which was Rod’s From Here To There Service”. As the wrecker pulled up to the taxi there before our eyes was another old classmate, Rodney Begier. The wrecker pulled us to the garage and soon our taxi was fixed and we were once again on our way to the studio. As we stopped for a red light we looked across the street and we saw a policewoman on a horse. We recognized her as another old classmate, none other then Roynee Johnson. We couldn’t stop to chat just then as the light changed colors and we sped on to the studio for our last show of the season. Immediate- ly following the show Jo Ann and I took off for a two weeks vacation to Florida. We were glad we had seen all the classmates and very proud to be al umni of the class of 1954.

It was directed by Fred Vorce, Jr., and the accompanist was Joyce Matt- son. The story of the operetta is about Tatiana, a princess of Russia, who is held for ransom by the Cossacks. Although Dmitri, prince of Russia, and her fiance, is general of Tsar Mikhai I s army, he is too cowardly either to rescue Tatiana, or de- fend Russia against invading Tartars. SPORTSMAN’S INC. 413 Nebraska Street Sioux City, Iowa Vaslav, Chief of the Cossacks, goes to the Tsar's court to get the ransom. He finds himself admiring the Tsar and offers the help of the Cos- sack s forces against their common enemy, the Tartars. The Tartars are beaten, and the two victorious people pledge peace. Events show that Vaslav is the son of Tsar Mikhail, long ago captured by the Cossacks. Since he is of royal blood, Tatiana, who has fallen in love with him, may marry him.

From these twelve players a great Viking season was start- ing to take shape. The team was molded around our star Senior Center, Franklin Olson. The team had a slow start but after starting to fire it up, it began to move. Our greatest thrill was the winning of the Knox County Tournament by beating the highly favored Verdigre team the second night and beating Bloomfield the final night. This is the first time that Wausa has won the Knox Coun- ty Tournament. We also received second place in the Corntassel Conference.
