class DRGDHGCY The time has flown by quickly the last ten years and we find it 1968. It is .T une 10 and we find Karen Bever and .T im Meacham dining in a very fashionable Italian restaurant. They are celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary. .Tim now owns his father's business and Karen, though determined never to get married, has decided that she likes married life very well. Seeing that this is a special occasion, Karen decides to have the gypsy fortune teller read her tea leaves. Karen and Jim are very .surprised when she begins telling them about the occupa- tions their former classmates have taken up. Charles Goetz has becomeavery famous movie director for M-G-M. Pat Uselman is working for him as an art director. We knew they both had a liking to movies. We were not surprised to hear that Donna Raabe had become a professional mathematics teacher. All through her high school years this had been her favorite subject. After Verne Kirchoff's father retired from his farm, Verne took over. He has prospered very well and now is looking for someone who'd like to take over the housework. Though undecided when she left high school, Arlene Olson went on to become a beautician. In her spare time she is kept busy taking care of her home and family. Dancing lessons in high school weren't enough for William Arndt. He went on taking lessons after graduation and has become a professional dancing teacher for Arthur Murray. He sure keeps the girls swooning now. A registered nurse was the goal Judith Wadephul aimed for after graduation. All went the way she had planned until her .Tunior year at the University of Wisconsin when she met a handsome young doctor. She now is kept busy with not only one occupation as a nurse but a wife also. As the gypsy teller goes on she says that Carolyn Zellmer had gone on to college and become a kindergarten teacher. However, her one wish was granted in 1962 after graduating from River Falls State Teachers' College she finally found her Prince Charming and had a beautiful September wedding. Now she's kept busy teaching four children of her own. Norman Martin suddenly inherited a great deal of money and bought out Tillman's Produce. He has never told anyone just who he received it from or how much money he really got. His business sure keeps him running and so do the girls. LouAnn Pasch, who had previously been employed as a private secretary for Norman,is now busy shopping to complete her hope chest. Although LouAnn was determined to always'be an old maid, we see a diamond sparkling on her left hand. We all knew she was just spoofing us. A professor was the last occupation we would have picked for Gary Bever, but it seemed after high school graduationhe suddenly became greatly interested in school and went on to college. He has climbed the ladder to success and is now employed at LaCrosse State Teachers' College. Patsy Doyle finally went on that diet she had mentioned so often while in high school. She now has become a famous figure in the world of modeling. This just shows what a little will power will do. A physical education teacher was the occupation John Shie chose. He had participated in all sports while' in high school. However we are a little surprised to find out that he is teaching girls physical education classes. Keep trying, John, and you'l1 figure girls out yet. As we look over movie magazines we see a new star has been added to Hollywood. After Jayne Mansfield retired from show business Ethel Arndt starred in a movie written for her. She became a star over night and has appeared in almost every theater in the country. Chev's always caught Bill Bolden's eye. He now is employed in test driving all the new Chev's as they are made. Last week he broke the record for driving Chevrolets new car for 1968 the fastest, the furtherest and with the best control. Berlean Larson, full of determination and ambition when she left high school, went on to business college. These all paid off when after college she was offered a job as stenographer for a Senator from Wisconsin. She has advanced and is now-working for the President.
