CLASS PROPHECY The Seniors of '78 left for their annual Senior Day bright and early one spring morning. Their first stop was at the United Loan and Trust Company where they saw Dave Ellingson. the Vice President of the Company, dictating a letter to Pat Claussen, a secretary in that firm. Mary Claussen was typing a letter to the branch office of the firm and Lois Brasch was trying to balance the petty cash fund. Larry Holmquist, a representative from Loan's Incorporated, and Craig Vanness, the manager of sales from U. T. L. Co., were collaborating on the interest rates of their firms. Next they visited the Carter Science Memorial Building where Larry Pearson, Steve Anderson, and Harv Landholm were giving a lec- ture on the need for engineers in our society. Down the street, Neal Feldman, a conservationalist. and Randy, a Forest Ranger, were going into a building with the sign Welcome to the convention for the U.S. Conservation Program on the front door. Steve Johnson, a famous fisherman, was attending this meeting also. They then visited the local grade school and here they saw Marcia Mittan teaching her third graders that 7+9=16, Marcia Bratetic handing out crackers and milk to her kindergarteners, and Anita Peters explaining the parts of speech to the fifth grade class. Traveling along to the high school they saw the driver's education car run into the stop sign and Glen Retzlaff, the instructor, covering his head with his hands. In the high school they visited Kathy Wakeley's English class where she was inter- preting Longfellow to her students, and Merileen's home ec. class, where she was explaining how to sew in darts. In the library, they saw Sandra Erickson, the librarian, binding a book. Leaving the school, they came to a large park with a huge crowd of people. They found out that a fair was being held here. They saw LaVonne, a housewife, whose apple pie had made it to the finals. Fred Anderson, Dayle Kin- kaid, and Myron Kumm were competing for the Champion Corn-Grower title. A large crowd was as- sembled at the far end of the park and the students found Neil Kirby, the professional football player, giving autographs. Donna Skalberg, the local social worker, was supervising several children playing in the park. Their next stop was the airport and here they saw Dave Larson boarding a plane, in his Navy uniform, for his next post; Verlene, a stewardess, was passing out brochures about travel around the world and Glen Olson was striving to fix an engine on one of the planes. They saw Steve Banks, a pilot, take off in a new jet. Betty Haskins was boarding a plane for the Annual Beauticians Conference in New Orleans. Later that evening, the class visited the Henle Memorial Hospital where Susan Ekdahl, an R. N., led the tour and they were able to peek in at Dennis DeRoin operating on Marcille Lind, the fat lady in the circus, who was suffering from anemia. Deb Friedrich, Brenda Lauck, and Barb Carlson, three nurses on the staff assisted Dennis in this operation. That night the class dined at the Pink Puddle where Bonnie Doten was directing the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, and Gale Retzlaff, the world famous comedian, was performing.
