Individually we do will and bequeath the following: I, Eldon Ambuehl, will and bequeath my gym shorts (which I have never used) to Neal Ordelheide. May he keep them in as good condition as I did. I, Yvonne Ball, will to you, Melvin Mozee, my filled our English book—save it a couple of years and then you can help Brenda for a change. I, Lavelle Boehmer, will my ability to get a man and keep him to Judy Barnett. Keep trying, Judy. I, Freda Booher, do hereby will and bequeath my knee socks to Marilyn Reich—may she wear them with elan. I also will my place on the basketball team to my little sister, Charlotte. May she prove an able aid to Norma in guarding for the blue and gold. I, Harold Booher, do hereby will my office as treasurer of the F.F.A. and the head- aches that go with it to any Ag. boy who lacks the ability to say no when he is nominated. I also leave my ability to judge livestock and its headaches to Ralph Rogers I, Jerry Churchill, do hereby will my ability to date a member of next year's Junior Class to Fuzzy Shortal. He's been trying to make the grade for two years without much luck. I, David Duebbert, will my ability to stay out late at night and get to school on time to Murrill Wohler; to Wayne Schemmer I will 75 pounds of my weight; to George Gibson I will my ability to pilot the girls around. 1, Adele Eversmeyer, will my No. 10 shoes and my old pair of glasses to Sandy Vessels so that she can model for the Weatherbird pictures. I, Dwayne Garrett, will my submissive and cooperative spirit and vivacious personality to all incoming freshmen. With four years practice they should develop these into seomthing rare. I, Barbara Govoro, will my boisterous ways to Judy Barnett, my dirty basketball socks to Barbara Tomek to go with her dirty ones, and the rubber band that holds my hair in a pony tail to Paul Dillon. I, Fred harms, will my flat tires to Jackie Lee so that he will have an excuse for being tardy. I, Allan Hunt, leave my vast knowledge of home economics (gained by diligent work and close attention) to Don Eversmeyer; to Jim Vessels I leave my unparalleled ability in typing. I, Norman Leesmann, leave the school intestate. I, Tommy Null, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to smoke in the rest room without getting caught to all freshman and sophomore boys—there should be enough to go around. I also will all my extra credits to Mike Byrd, he will need them. I, Melba Oney, do will and bequeath to Sandy Vessels my size 16 gym suit. May she wear it in comfort. To Leora Uthe I will my quiet ways. May she succeed in sitting throught classes with nothing to say. I, Donna Reeds, being in my usual state of mind (sad state of affairs some say) do hereby will my feminine ways to Rose Schnick. She can use them and without them all I need is to see the Swedish doctor. I, Phyllis Sherrill, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to get out of class to Mary Jane Klausmeier, and my dynamic and bombastic personality and voice to Melba Klausmeier. May they use these wisely and often during the coming years. 9 I, Paula Stamer, will my interest in phys.ed. to Charlotte Burgan. May she find it easier to get along with the teacher than I have this year. I, Alice Tremblay, do will and bequeath my ability to skip school, to cut classes, to forge mother's name to excuses, and to be late to Barbara Tomek. To Sharon Harms and Norma Booher, I will all my trips to the office. (Please make them frequent as Mr. Small looks for ward to them.) I, Buddy Taylor, being of sound mind(?), hereby will and bequeath my typewriter and dues to Bill Moffat. I also will'my ability as a homemaker to William O'Day. I, LaTelle West, will my diet schedule to Charlotte Burgan with the understanding that she will reverse it. Senior Class Prophecy Date: Wednesday evening, May 18, 1967 Place: Capital Theatre, Hollywood Time: 7:00 p.m., P.S.T. While on a trip along the west coast, I secured tickets to the program, This Is Your Life. The M.C. stepped out on the stage and there was something in his wide smile and wavy hair that'seemed familiar. When he started to speak the impression of familiarity was even more pronounced, and I was so busy trying to remember where I had seen him before that I missed what he was saying. Then my memory suddenly went back ten years to another May and another stage, but the same smile and w-vy hair— how could I have been so forgetful—how could anyone forget Dwayne Garrett—I suppose it was the unexpectedness of seeing him in these surroundings that caused me not to spot him at first. He was a very handsome, self-assured fellow dressed in an impeccable sport jacket and slacks. He certainly had the gift of gab necessary for his work. He was introducing the person whose life was being portrayed and was I surprised to see that it was one of Dwayne's former classmates, Adele Eversmeyer, who had gone to college and had become interested in chemistry. She had gone into research and at the time was on the International Atomic Energy Committee of the United Nations. She was greatly surprised to be on the This Is Your Life program as she had been told that she was to address a Research Chemists' Meeting in Los Angeles. She was even more surprised to see Dwayne because her work had kept her out of contact with her classmates. The first voice from her past was easily recognizable, since my memory had sort of drifted back to their class. Dwayne had just said, And now, Adele, here is the voice of a person who traded for (or bought) your name for the Christmas gift exchange at W. C. H. S. Sure enought, out stepped David Duebbert. He has changed little during the years—a little heavier, perhaps, but otherwise much the same. He was very happy to see both Dwayne and Adele, two of his favorite classmates, and told them that he was manager of the Wright City M.F.A. The next person from Adele's past was Jerry Churchill. He is now one of the directors of the Ford Motor Company's Department of Educational Research. Jerry had taken one of their exams while at W.C.H.S. and didn't think they had asked the right questions, so he had begun at the bottom of the ladder with the company and had worked himself up to his present position. Each year he personally goes over the exam papers and checks any questions that have been missed. These are omitted from the exams that follow. In that way the morale of the youth of America is gradually being raised, because each class has fewer questions to answer and so feel that they know more. The next to appear from her past was Lavelle Boehmer Requat. She and Earl had done the expected—married and settled down on a farm soon after graduation. They have three children, two boys and a girl, and are leaders in their community— faithful members of Meridian Farm Club, M.F.A. , W.P.F.A., and their children are members of the J.F.A. and the 4-H Club. Lavelle takes prizes regularly in baking, canning, and sewing at the Warren County Fair and at the State Fair. In fact, she is a contributor to the Better Homes and Gardens recipe department and had been offered a position in the Betty Crocker testing labratory, but declined because her family came first. She brought news of Norman Leesmann. Norman was supposed to be on the stage, too, but an emergency had arisen (one with which Dwayne had been very familiar during high school)—his state prize winning Hampshire gilt was farrowing and he was unable to leave her. He sent his best reagards and said he hoped to see them at the Alumni Banquet the following week, where he was to be the guest speaker on the subject Swill—Gourmand and Gourmet Varieties. The next person to come on the stage was a languorous looking red head. She was the very peak of chic and suave good looks and other adjectives of similar meaning. She had started working for Slenderella several years after high school and now went about the country establishing new salons and demonstrating their techniques. In connection with this traveling, she had a working agreement with Madame Schiaparelli, Mr. John, and Fath to wear their numbers and consequently she was always listed as one of the ten best dressed women of America. Dwayne asked her about her red hair and she said, Oh! you should have seen it last week. It was black and gold striped. Of course, this could have been none other than Paula Stamer. Then came a big surprise. The next couple to appear on the stage was Mr. and Mrs. Allan Hunt. Of course, for Allan to have ever looked at a girl was a distinct shock. Mrs. Hunt was none other than Barbara Govoro. They had begun dating about the end of their senior year and had married two years later. They lived on a big plantation in Mexico (you remember Barbara took Spanish in high school) where Allan was an overseer. About all he did was sit on the verandah and issue orders— a job well suited to him. Next in order came Yvonne Ball. She had taken her share of the money from the Senior Class treasury and had gone to visit a friend in St. Louis. They had gone to see a Globe Trotter's basketball game and on to a party at the Riviera Club, where the players were guests. One of the boys had become quite interested in Yvonne and vice versa. Result—that's right—wedding bells and a life of traveling from city to city and to several foreign countries for exhibition games for Yvonne. Eldon Ambuehl came next, and he had done just what was expected—married Judy and settled down in Warrenton. They lived very quietly (Eldon sometimes went for several weeks without putting a dent into his or some other person's fender) and seemed to be doing quite well with their super market built in competition with Kroeger. Donna Reeds was with G.E. Company. She, also, had a traveling job. She went from store to store demonstrating gadgets to be used in the home. Her line of talk was quite similar to the one she had in school. She got the idea of being a demonstration agent from Mrs. Walker in home economics class. She is still planning to marry Roy but hasn't ever quite got around to it. Harold Booher was next to appear from Adele's past. He was the perennial bachelor- he had a new girl friend from each season's debutantes. He had been in service where he received an eye injury. He wore a black patch and, with his prematurely white hair, he was a very distinguished and romantic looking man. No one knew the source of his income, but it was rumored that he had an interest in one of the big gambling houses in Las Vegas. Melba Oney was quite a surprise. She had gone to St. Louis to work as a book- keeper for Bell Telephone Company. Here she had met and married a fellow who objected to her Working. She went to Reno, got a divorce, and stayed out there working on a Dude Ranch. She is co-owner of one of the better known ranches and came to the program dressed in western type clothes. Buddy Taylor sent his regrets at being unable to attend. It seems that Lois was in the hospital—their fourth child had just arrived, and Buddy had to be there to hold Lois' hand. You remember, they were always holding hands back in hight school, too. LaTelle West had cashed in. She was a model for Petite Numbers, Inc. which made nothing larger than a size 7 dress. This was only her secondary job—the one she did for pastime. Her main job was that of secretary to the president of Mercantile Commerce Bank in St. Louis. Every Sunday she drives out to Big Boy's to have dinner and to encourage the young waitresses by showing them what she had become. Tommy Null rushed on the stage and very exuberantly greeted all his old class- mates. Tommy, better known now as The Reverend Thomas Arthur Null, was pastor of one of the largest churches on the west coast. He had his last fling at the 1957 Alumni Banquet and had decided it just wasn't worth it. He has never married but it has been noticed by the ladies of his church that he is attending their meetings very regularly of late, and so thought that the young widow in their group might not remain a widow very long. Alice Tremblay was rather subdued in comparison to 1957 memories. She and Bob had married when he finished college. He had gone into the teaching profession, and she was content to be a faculty wife and have open house every Sunday afternoon for the students. Her training in home economics came in handy, and her sandwiches, cookies, and salads were the talk of the campus. Phyllis Sherrill was next to appear. She was in the white uniform of a nurse. She had gone to nursing school, and by hard work had advanced to head nurse at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis. She had then become a member of the Army Nurses Corps and was stationed in Los Angeles. Last to appear on the program were the pilot and stewardess of the plane which brought all these people to Los Angleles—Fred Harms and Freda Booher, Fred, of course, liked his work fine because it required little physical exertion(you remember he wasn't any too active back in '57), and Freda likes the excitement of going places (she decided planes went further and faster than trucks). She and Fred made a good pair—one quiet and reserved, and one gay and vivacious—I leave you to choose which words apply to which person. LEORA UTHE President SHARON HARMS Reporter MR.
