CLASS PROPHECY Here it is 1967!!! We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our graduation, which is being held at the Wilton Metropolitan Hotel, that is owned and operated by Magdalen Hetnmersbach who is now married to her high school flame. Her classmate, Inez Cox, is her one and only secretary. As we are walking down Main Street, we were startled to hear someone calling our names. We turned and saw Arlie Bugbee, a classmate, trying to catch up with us. We stopped and she joined us. She said she had just arrived on the 400 to be at the celebration, and we were the first one’s she had met. We caught a cab and went to the Hotel where we were surprised to see Donna Buchholz, who is a Commercial teacher at the University, andLorna Granger, who writes for the movie magazine. Modem Screen. As we were talking about our experiences during the previous ten years we heard a loud commotion and turned around to see Jay McCann and Ralph Wendland. Jay is a Truant Officer of the Police Force in Tomah, and Ralph is a farmer who operates his father’s farm at the edge of Wilton. Upon their arrival, we decided we would wait for the rest of our class, when Lucille Noth and Ruth Fick popped in. Lucille is now singing for Jerry Gilbertson which was her high school wish. Ruth has received her nurse’s cap and is a nurse at Wisconsin General Hospital in Madison, and has her cap tipped towards an intern at the same hospitaL Just a few minutes later Norman Heintz, Eugene Eckelberg, Dale Boetzel, and Charles Wilde arrived. Norman surprised us by saying that he married a girl from Hillsboro, Eugene is a cor- poral in the National Guards, and proudly shows his two stripes. Dale says he hasn’t decided if he should settle down or keep driving at the race track in Indianapolis, but he claims he has his eye on a cute blond down there. We'll just have to wait and see. And then Charles, who received a scholarship, went to Marquette and is now an engineer. Now that half of our class had arrived we were getting more anxious to see the rest. The next to come were Margaret Sinnott, Doris Nauman, and Olsie Crook. Margaret is sec- retary for Mr. Loff, who is still principal at Wilton High SchooL but the building had to be en- larged because of so many students and he finds plenty of work for Margaret to do. Doris is working as a doctor’s stenographer. Now here is a girl we better keep an eye on. And Olsie, who also chose nursing as her career, says that this really keeps her busy. She, also, has her eye attached to a medical doctor, but she won’t reveal his name. Next to arrive were Berdella Geier, Donna Simonson, Nina Bray, and Ruth Domke. This includes all the girls. Donna is working as a beautician at Madison and Mrs. Landgraf is her steadiest costomer, but Donna still can’t convince her of the beauty of bangs. Nina has just come back from a trip to California. Berdella says she JUST CAN’T decide which one to marry, Mike or Donnie. Ruth is married and has four brown eyed boys hanging to her skirt. ROLAND LYDON Stock Buyer C. C.

CLASS WILL On a bright day in early June, 1962, a large silver airplane flew overhead dropping several sheets of white paper over the green fields of the countryside around Wilton. In the late after- noon a small boy, who was on his daily chore of getting the cows, found one of the neatly type- written sheets of paper on which was written: To whomever it may concern: We, the Senior Class of 1957, leave the following possessions, both real and imagined, to our teachers and underclassmen. To the Juniors, we leave the job of publishing the 1958 annual and the privilege of being called Seniors, To the Sophomores, we leave the ability to lead others and good judgment in making de- cisions. To the Freshmen, we leave our old books, papers, and pencils in hope they make better use of them than we did. I, Dale Boetzel, leave my Ford to no one. After all, it is mine. I, Nina Bray, leave my shortness to anyone who doesn’t like being tall. It actually pays. I, Donna Buchholz, leave my good marks in English to Earl Pasch.
