 The Year Nineteen Hundred and Eighty A peer into the future, via an old crystal ball, gave the writer some very interesting facts about the members of the famous class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-six. From the very depths of the crystal ball one could see an air force man who was rec- ognized as being Jerry Osburnsen. Jerry had joined the air force shortly after graduating from college and was well on his way to becoming a big wheel. Aside from his career the wife and four children were definitely his pride and joy. The crystal momentarily clouded over and then cleared and there sat Martin Mendel, as big as you please, behind an editor's desk in some distant city. He had made good in the field of journalism but not so good in the field of matrimony. Now the scene changes from cow country to city and--no it can't be--yes, it is--the former Mary Mendel is stepping out of one of the busy elevators of a large office building. Mary had found employment as a secretary for a law firm, married the president's son, and is now an active member of the law firm, Ketchum and Sockum. After a moment or two of intense gazing there came into view a very, very bald man. Upon turning around the writer noted that this very bald head belonged to a wealthy Wini- fred rancner named Robert K. Simac. Bob, as he was known in school, had married a secretly-loved schoolmate and was considered a very successful rancher. The crystal ball fogged over again and it took a bit of concentration to bring it back into focus, then plain as day one could see Glenn Scoville at an engineer's desk; busy at the task of designing and drawing plans for an ultra-modem school building. Glenn was undecided about his future during his high school days, but found his gifted talents in col- lege. Glenn had married a shy little girl from across the river and his four future engineers are keeping him on his toes. Now there is something that looks familiar. It’sgoodold Winifred High School. But something has been added--in place of the old grade school building there is a new one and to the west is a new school gym with classrooms all around it. With the scene changing to the gymnasium floor one sees a tall slender man with a receding hairline coaching the Red Raiders of Nineteen Eighty. Sure enough the lad had followed his father's footsteps and had gone into teaching and coaching. The man is Boyd Bergum and by the looks of the trophy case things have gone well for the coach and his teams. What’s this the mystic ball is bringing forth? There stands a man on a street corner yelling Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour, — See the pretty picture on the box. ” As we look closer we see that in place of Aunt Jemima’s picture there is Eugene Erlandson's picture with a white hat on and mixing pancakes with a big scoop shovel. It seems as though Gene had done very well in the musical profession and had bought out the pancake company. Now one sees Larry Arthur and notes that he has given up rodeo bull riding and has gone to Mexico where he is trying to find out what the horsefly will be doing ten years from now if the horse keeps going out and the automobiles keep coming in. Larry had married a senorita from down Mexico way. The crystal ball now brings into view an arid section of land on this side of the Rio Grande. There sitting in the noontime shade holding a comic book in his hand and saying to himself: I wonder if Mutt will ever be as tall as Jeff,” is Sam. Poor Sam, that Arizona heat must have gotten him after leaving cool Montana.

I, Boyd Bergum, will my ability to play basketball to Ray Asbjornson and my winning smile to anyone who is feeling low. I, Martin Mendel, will my ability to sing to John Can and my height to Bobby Olsen. I, Mary Mendel, will my cheerleading ability to Patsy Arthur and my quick smile and friendly ways to the Junior girls.
