SENIOR CLASS
PROPHECY
It’s the graduating class of 1978’s 25 year Anniversary
Party. Entertainment provided by “Seeing Double” that well
known band from Liberty Center, consisting of Randy and Rod
Crow, who won an award for having their records stay consis-
tently on the bottom of the charts for the longest period of
time, three years.
Anita Dittmer, manager of the Liberty Center A & W is furnishing all the food.
Drinks are being supplied by Eddie Seuferer, who is the
owner of the LibertyCenter Tap. Shockingly enough we caught
Brad Jacobson and Joe Wright over by the bar with John Kimzey giving them free passes to his KarateSchool “Kimzey’s Academy”.
Phil Hommer and Kim Konrad were also in charge of entertainment and decided to have a pig squealing contest there
were tons of entries including Edgar Enterline , Marcie Heemstra and Debbie Curnes. We all got the feeling it was fixed when there was a tie for first between Phil and Kim.
LeeAnn Lester and Lori Goering were off in a corner talking
over the latest fashions when in walked Kelly Miller, who had
just won the BostonMarathon a week earlier. with a trail of
admirers, and, yes, his faithful follower, Mr. Burrell. There
seems to be some excitement out in the street, Mike Allen,
LibertyCenter’s one and only mechanic is taking apart Jeff
Sandy’s brand new 4 Wheel drive pickup with a little help from
Rick Chambers. Looking down the street we see the King’s
Apartment Buildings, where he and Becky were putting on the
finishing touches before coming to the party. Coming back
inside, we see a group arguing over who has the best job, let’s
listen in for a while. Michelle Manser is the receptionist
for Scott Harmison’s massage parlor, Terry Trunnell is the
clerk for Dave Week’s Sporting Goods Store. Dixie Roush and
Lori Fosdick are both secretaries for Max Ohnemus’s Harley
Manufacturing Company and Pauletta Chapman has just advanced to No. 1 clerk at the T.G.&Y. Store in Indianola.
Coming in now is Patty Hunter and Penny Johnson. Patty is
the owner of the LibertyCenter bookstore, which has just
reached its goal of having 50 books now loanable. Chris Haltom
and Laurie Rankin, both social workers, are having an indepth
study of Greg Goering who had roamed around doing odd jobs for the past 25 years.
LuAnn Ball and Brenda Dittmer look as if they couldn’t find
babysitters for the big occasion. LuAnn with 6 and Brenda with 7 children, look as if their still trying to out do each other.
Barb Smith, just walking in, still seems to be a sports enthu-
siast, after having her favorite basketball and track shoes
bronzed she just can’t bear to leave them at home and just like
in the basketball season she has to have Kristy Shields and
Ronda Eubank help her carry her load.
Well, it looks as if choring time is over as Edward Baumgarten, Gary Hunerdosse, and Darrell Ohemus are making their way to toward the food seems as if they didn’t have time to stop and eat before coming.
Is that a Limousine we see pulling up? Why the chauffer is
Bret Lawler, who could have possibly made it big out of the
class of ’78? Bret has just flung a red carpet on the side-
walk and, yes, the door is opening, isn’t the suspence killing
you? It’s Gary Thompson! We’ve all seen him on the Raisan
Bran commercials and following him is his private secretary
Deanna Williams and his jet pilot Dan Clayton, also his
personal mechanic for his 6 limousines at home, Dan Beck. Wait what’s he doing, is that money he is throwing? Well, Ryan Jacobs and Ron Backstrom will be the first to know. Ryan lost every cent he had received from his wife’s life insurance policy in Las Vegas at a gambling casino. While Ron is paying alimony to his wife and 5 children.
Doris Blackford, a chemistry teacher, comes back in, she is
upset about something, seems as if what Gary was throwing was not money but stickers saying, “When you got it, you learn not to flaunt it.” Gary always was a crowd pleaser.
Becky Spencer, a stewardess for her husbands airline, and
Terin Terrell, who is running for Senator of Iowa, have just
landed at the LibertyCenterAirport, when Terin is out col-
lecting the votes and her personal secretary Sheila Heller is
counting them.
Ruth Bertrand and Carla Hunerdosse seems to be having a good time. Ruth, a model, and Carla, a part-time bartender at Ed’s bar, are playing an old joke on Barb Coffman. Looks as if
Gary’s not the only one giving away things, Jeff Schaefer,
Liberty Center’s busy plumber, is giving away 3 ounce bottles
of Liquid Plumber.
Always thinking ahead, Jim Reeves is making plans for the
first underwater cemetery. He has posted a bulletin for any-
one to sign to make sure they get a prime choice 6 by 4 plot
in the ocean bed. Carol and Mary Ripperger are co-owners of
the Ripperger Hair Styling House, and they offered to give any-
one who died and signed up for Jim’s underwater paradise their
last manicure for half price. Tracy Donahue, sole owner, and
operator, and advertiser of Donahue’s Car Lot, which features
cars 10 years and older, has just gone out of business due to
too much money being spent on outside help.
Kathy and Theresa Putz feel it’s time to call it a night.
They are Liberty Center’s garbage collectors and tomorrow is
their biggest route, 3 blocks on the on the South Side of town.
But every morning before they start their route they stop at
Hart’s Super Value where the claim that Lori Godlove is the
best cook in town.
Marjorie Dittmer, photographer for the Liberty Center Tribune is snapping pictures for tomorrow morning’s edition (the only one) of the paper. It seems as if Kathy Hilpipre, Patty Johnson, and Tena Miller had to work late at the Indianola Nursing Home for they are now just arriving while the rest of the party is just about to break up.
Sorry to say Curt Bregar, Liberty Center’s Mafia leader,
couldn’t make it to the party tonight. It seems that he’ll
be spending the next 99 years behind bars. He was convicted
of first degree murder in a scheme to kill Randy Eubank, who
shot Curt’s son in a shoot out over a year ago.
Ron Haas, preacher of the Liberty Center Baptist Church,
has called for a moment of silent prayer in rememberence of
Curt. Karen Schaffer and Terri Walker both metermaids have just entered it seems as if they’ve had to give our bus a park-
in ticket. Donna Merrill the bus driver will be held responsible. You see we all had to ride the bus to this party or they wouldn’t let us come. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
Things don’t change much in 25 years do they?
