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 POEM - con't. Stuart Kortbein, who loves to dance, Hopes someday to teach a high school class, He has fun driving the Cheve around But can't seem to keep it in our town. There is always a joker in every class To Jay McCann trouble is not a task, Carrying eggs at Tillman's is his line And looking for new cars in his spare time.

For I Love Lucy she held the key, Lucille Noth, our last year Prom Queen, Hopes to go to college and be a Dean. Marvin Reeck, with his green car Wants to get out of school and go far, Why he goes to Cashton no one can tell. But why does the name Annie ring a bell? Donna Simonson, who likes to sew. Her future yet she doesn't know, A real friend, just the same. And Leonard is her favorite flame. Margaret Sinnott, a studious girl, Always has her hair in a curl A business career is her ambition, A secretary's job is her life's position. Ralph Wendland, a country guy. Doesn't like school, he won't deny. Making noise is his aim But he'll succeed, just the same. Charles Wilde, a country guy, On his ’’Chev he keeps one eye, When it comes to school, he is real smart, And when playing basketball does his part. Our years at Wilton High are through.
