SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY

While I was traveling through the country in my super-charged jet. I happened to come upon the big industrial city of Reardan. Being low in fuel I decided to stop and fill my jet with jet oil. When I drove up to the station and the operator came out, who should I find but Wendel Blair.

Wendel has taken over Colville’s garage but it has a new name. The BBBB, Blair's Better Buy in Buicks. He has a very good business and plans to retire when he becomes 65. (He will be eligible for an old age pension.) When I asked Wendel what became of the rest of the class of ‘49, here is what I found.

It seems that Ervin Wendlandt was always coming up with some little invention but no one believed he would make a profession of it, His newest invention is a way to ventilate limburger cheese.

Lois Hoffman had wanted to be married when she finished school but it seems she has given up men, she is now working on a light-house on the east coast.

Rose Saddler still has the same ring she had in her Senior year and in her spare time she knits clothes for her children.

Donalee Delzer has finished her college education at Whitworth and she has a teaching job at Four Mound. In her spare time she trains goats, she says they learn much faster than the other kids.

Claude Ross has taken over the job as foreman on a Hereford Ranch in Montana. He uses his Plymouth to round up the cattle each fall.

Clifford Bergeron went on a trip to Alaska and has found himself a permanent job of trapping squirrels for the Eskimo dogs.

Glenna Landreth the great opera singer can be heard each morning on the “Fred Warring Program” at 8:00 a. m. She also is on a night program, she plays the music on the “Suspense” program.

As I walked into the Drug Store for a coke, who should I find behind the counter but “your friendly druggist" Don Beck.

Mary Paul has become a Certified Public Accountant and it seems she spends most of her time checking on the books of our Pharmacists. (His mathematics must have slipped his mind, so someone must balance his books.)

Catherine Thiemens, The scientific floriculturist has acquired a new two-seated motor scooter for delivering flowers and going on Sunday drives in the country. (I wonder who occupies the other seat.)

Larry Landreth has given up farming and turned to judging the bathing beauty contest of 1959, (He says these figures are much easier to work with.)

Chuck Eastman the brawny football player as we knew him in high school hasn‘t changed very much. He has taken to the undertaking profession. He has established himself a motto—"I’ll be the last one to let you down.”

Phyllis Weyen has been playing the piano for Frankie Carle’s orchestra but it seems she was fired a few days ago. She has ruined too many piano’s with her “Weyen Special Rhumba.”

George Wynecoop has opened an art gallery in Reardan. George himself does most of the artistic work. [His biggest job is to make a bird look like a bird].

Shirley Clayton is now proprietor of the Reardan Barber Shop. It seems the boys like to have a finger wave instead of a haircut. (She says it is a very touchy job.)

Ona Brommer, the all time old timer has given up her job at the Old National Bank and is now working in Spokane.

Harry Christensen has bought a ranch in the Big Low Gulch. It keeps him busy raising babies and beef.
