SENIOR PROPHECY New Year's Eve--1955 In the cheery atmosphere of the old hangout, DufT'y's, we find to our amaze- ment some Seniors of 45 sitting around a large table. We are ushered over to the group and make ourselves comfortable just as our old class president, James Noland, calls the meeting to order. He has risen above his former position of local mail canrier to- th-e high position of Postmaster General. Said the call president, As I call this meeting to order you will answer by telling what you have accomplished in the past ten years. To begin, I'll call on our old vice-president, Norma. Jean McAvoy. Up steps Miss McAvoy who for many years has been a stenographer for Goldblatt Brothers' State Street store in Chicago. She is spending her well-earned vacation here in N. Y. Next our trustworthy treasurer, Ralph Gustafson, steps up. Ralph is another one of those Wheeler graduat-es who has worked himself up from a hardworking job to the money making job of President of the Pennsylvania Railroad by marrying the preceding president's daughter. Now, one of our council members, Ozelma Ross stands up. She is well-known in New York for she is a Public Health Nurse. Many books have been written about her experiences. Ozelma is married to a handsome blonde brain specialist. Our other council member, Jean Hamann, has spent the past years working hand in hand with Jackie Lanman. They are both air stewazrdesses for the Pan- American Airlines. They are engaged to twin transport pilots working for the same company. Another class member who proved herself as brilliant as we thought when we voted her for the D. A. R. award is May Glasshagel. If you will listen to station NUTZ, New York City, you will hear her' broadcast daily on the Homemaker Hour. A late comer to our party is Admiral Dupont who has just arrived in port and has just dropped in to see his old friends before catching the next plane to his home and family in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Next on the list is Norma Young, now Professor of Physical Education at North- western. She' is happily married to a Professor of Science also instructing there. Captain Graybill now steps up on the Platform, the gold bars on his tunic gleam- ing brightly. He is an instructor at Keesler Field and is now on his way to confer with the President. Another girl who chose nursing as her profession is Jackie Snook, who is now head nurse of the Billings Hospital in Chicago. She has a daughter planning to step into her mother's footsteps in the years to come. , In our midst we have one man who has held up the tradition of good old W.H.S. by becoming such a successful farmer that he is known throughout the nation. This is Kenneth Carey. Here comes three girls who almost missed this reunion, Rosella Affeld, Pamela Marquart, and Barbara Squires. Well, girls, sit down and join the party while we tell of our successes. These women are all owners of the Veteran's Lonely Hearts Club. The name of their business may lead you to think that they are unhappy but Pamela is married to the president of the Merit Shoe Stores, Rosella and Barbara are married to well known movie actors, Rosella to Robert Walker and Barbara to Van Johnson. After a toast to our successful and happy lives we leave you and go our separate ways back to our various occupations.
