ARLENE PAUL is a high fashion model in New York—has been a Powers girl for several years and lives in an apartment overlooking Central Park. She and Bill see each other quite often. ELMER VAHLE turned out just as we all expected. He became one of the out- standing farmers of the state and is in line to become Secretary of Agriculture when- ever his political party gets in office again. RAYMOND PHEGLEY has quite a reputation in certain circles—and also has a thriving business as a guide through Tuque where he goes by the title of Coon Hunter DeLuxe. BILL STEGMANN had become a star performer in the Metropolitan Opera where he sings the part of the Duke in Rigoletto where he sits in the tavern singing of all his lady friends. The same old Bill of Senior days. KENNY MARTEN was his manager, accompanist, valet, chauffeur, and the keeper of both their little black books — and the names and telephone numbers they had collected looked like Who's who among the Varga Girls. SANDY TATE was certainly a great surprise. She is still Sandy Tate. She decided that married life would be too much of a sameness. She has a taxi service that keeps her quite busy—she said she remembered that during high school days someone was always looking for transportation someplace--so she had a taxi stand west of the school and was doing very well. RONNIE NIEBURG had really gone to town in a big way. He had inherited the Mortu- ary business from his father and had studied both medicine and law and was an ambul- ance chaser who could take care of any emergency. He spent his spare time counting his money and was known generally as Scrooge Nieburg. The only one not present was JACK LEE. He was the first man to volunteer from the Air Force for a trip to the moon—something happened and the missile didn't return to earth—so Jack is still out there orbiting around the moon. Instead of lovesick teen- agers looking at the man in the moon they sigh softly and say There goes Jack in the Moon's moon.

Senior Prophecy The year is 1970 and the place is alumni banquet of the W. C. H. S. graduates- The distinguished looking VI. C. arose and in an eloquent manner suggestive of Stephen Douglas or William Jennings Bryan, opened the program part of the festivities. It was quite a surprise when we realized it was our old classmate, MIKE BYRD, now super- intendent of W. C. H. S. You remember he was quite a buddy of Mr. Small's when he was in school. Mike was especially flowery in the introductions of the members of his class of 1959— all of whom were present except one. The first one to be introduced was DENIS SHORTAL- Fuzzy. He was the first to arrive--quite a switch from the old days. Fuzzy is now a tester for an alarm clock com- pany and takes his work very seriously. Next came ROSE MOZEE. Rose is now head of the Department of Home Economic! at Lincoln University in Jefferson City. She was married to George Johnson who was acting as representative from this district. DALE HALLER was next in line. Dale had a really unusual type business—he oper- ated a used used car lot— and did a thriving business—even had to use his old trigo- nometry book to figure his Outgo Tax. This Outgo Tax was a new one to be imposed on the people. It was the brainchild of BARBARA TOMEK, who had inaugurated it after she had her own car and had to pay for any and all flats, etc. She spent her first few months out of high school with Elaine, Ann, and Bill completing their eighth hours. They had compiled a record number of them. In fact, the record still holds. ELAINE WELGE had married Murrill and they lived six months in Springfield, Mo. and six months in Nashville, Tenn. and every night could be found in front seats at either Ozark Opry or Grand Old Opera. BILL MOFFATT was still a bachelor—you remember he always did have trouble with his g. f. s. However the shoe was on the other foot now—when they began to show serious intentions he went on to greener pastures. Bill was driving a long, low convertible and had a couple of foreign jobs at home—a pent house apartment in New York where he had an ultra-swank haberdashery and was his own best ad—quite diff- erent from the beltless, sagging pants, of early days. ANN STRATHMAN was head Mistress at an exclusive girls' finishing school and was well qualified for this job having personal knowledge of the problems confronting teen age girls and her punishments were so severe that no one dared be a second offender. EDDIE HOLLENBECK was next on the list of alumni who were present. He is still courting Mary Sue—trying to get on the good side of her parents—you know Eddie is a little on the slow side about settling down but we think that by the time of our 1980 meeting he should have popped the question. DEAN WYATT looked quite dignified in his uniform of Rear Admiral in the U. S. Navy—(I hope I have the title right and the Admiral is a part of his title. )
