A very old paper was just unearthed and might be interesting to those who attended
Kellogg Junior High and had Mr. Zander. See below. Photos follow.

The Time 20 Years Hence: June 5, 1984.
You are now in your middle thirties. Many happily married: Others happy. GARY BAHMAN,
after completing the commercial course at Dunwoody in Minneapolis, started a rendering plant on the Indian Reservation of Red Lake, married an Indian girl, and after four children, left her. He presently directs the State Hospital band during the annual Memorial Day Parade in Rochester each year. His new wife, ALYCE REYNOLDS, a night clerk at the Arthur Hotel, was formerly a stripper at the Tropic Lounge before it burned down in 1970. BRAD REEVE is still superintendent of parks in Kasson, having received the job after dropping out of JM back in 1967. Brad was fortunate in marrying the homecoming queen at John Marshall that year, LINDA HUSKE. She has supported him all these years as a checkout girl at North Side Tempo. PAM BERVEN, finally graduated in 1970 at the age of 21 and entered Luther College where she presently is still in her senior year. She has been there fourteen years. She secretly married JACK TITUS in high school. Jack, by the way, teaches phy education at the Aldrich Nursery on Mondays and Fridays and spends the rest of the time at Luther. Jack had completed four years of medical school but dropped to take this big job at Aldrich. Leader of a dance band in Rochester is MARTY CHRISTENSEN. They call themselves Horner’s Hornets----featuring Ringo MILLER, Jazz WOOD, and Franky RUHL on piano, and Jodi “Whirl” BERRY on the banjo. The group is drummed by Righty LeRoy Hoerner, formerly a grad of the U of M College of Liberal Arts. Jazz WOOD, a successful architect, married EILEEN HEWITT. For years she played the tambourine* with the Salvation Army, but presently she is home with her seven children, all boys. Jazz dropped architecture, since he had to work, and since then plays the trombone evenings and loafs during the day. Eileen, in addition to taking care of the eight boys, works days at the Kahler hotel as a maid, and nights at Delite as a cashier. Ringo married lovely SANDY ROSEN, who was formerly married to one of the Mayo brothers. But she got tired of wealth and remarried Ringo MILLER. Ringo, by day, is an auto mechanic at Clements, and at night plays the pitch pipe with Hoerner’s Five. Sandy, incidentally, was a beauty and ran for Miss Minnesota until she was thirty. She was one of the students in HR 327 that finished high school----took her only 5 years, too. Miller, by the way, earns money in the spring, timing high jumping events. Jody “Whirl” dropped out of high school to get married at sixteen. His father performed the ceremony for nothing, so he and SALLY SCHOLER jumped at the opportunity. Whirl had several musical scholarships but turned them down for marriage. Sally naturally quit school and took a course in vocational nursing and works at the Worrall seven nights a week while Whirl whirls with the Hot Lips Hoerner’s gang. They have six girls. FRANK RUHL, the best athlete in HR 327 dropped out of school too and got a job in his dad’s bank as custodian. He was fried---fired, for cleaning out the safe one night of 500,000 dollars. His dad made it good. CINDY WRIGHT finally married BARRY CRAWFORD. Barry graduated from JM, went to college, and is presently head of the Elevator service in the Super Value Building. Cindy, head check out girl, is also president of the Barry Goldwater Club in Rochester. Mr. Goldwater is still running for president. Cindy and husband are living with her mother. They share expenses and take care of the seven Crawford children. KAY BOEGE is a nurse at St. Mary’s where she heads the OB section, while her husband, DON WENNINGER directs traffic at Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street NW. Don did own the Dairy Queen on North Broadway, but sold it, since his taxes were too high with all the profits. Kay was also a stripper at the Tropic and a member of the five girl Boege Quintet. They introduced the hit song in 1970, “Stop Pulling my Fingernails, Nelly, the hammer’s in the sink”. DENISE TERVO finished college and got a job with Westinghouse, testing refrigerators for air leaks. She married KIM CULP. Culp, by the way, was a promising drummer when L Hoerner and he had a tussle on top of the riff-raff at Kellogg and Kim spoke up and got six fingers busted—all on one hand. Fortunate his dad has a good job. They live at home. Kim works part time at the Post Bulletin as a paper boy, and at Tempo evenings. LYNN DARLING was the most successful class member. She operates a roller rink in Georgia. She finished high school and headed south. There she finally met DOUG MARTIN and they started the roller rink. Doug, personable, kind, Doug was a snake charmer and sword swallower until one night he charmed the sword and swallowed the snake. They are happily married and spend the winters at the Martin home in Rochester and the summers in Georgia. PAT STUMP never married, instead has a horse farm south of town and razes, no races, no raises horse for the HOWARD Mink Farm. STEVE is the wealthiest of the group. He tried out for the Twins, but was known as “No Hit, No Run, no Field Howard”. So, he got a job as beer seller and eventually into the mink business he went. JANYCE NELSON never left high school either. She’s still trying to break her brother’s hurdles mark. She has married GREG LOVGREN. Greg is a surgeon at the Clinic. After leaving JM he headed to the U of M, got his degrees, got married to Jan. They have no children---she wants to get that hurdles record first.
VICKY CARLSON and DEBBY SCOTT, though they hadn’t finished high school, headed to the University of Michigan, and are now professors of Geography at the U of Minnesota. Neither girl married. Debby had planned on being a farmer’s wife, but after spending two summers milking, haying, and swilling the hogs, decided the life was not for her. She had a romance with LARRY SCHUMANN but he enlisted in the Submarine Corp and left her high and dry.
Vicky is now divorced after an unsuccessful romance and marriage. She married a shot putter at JM who left Vicky to marry WENDY KEICKER. Wendy, after high school, got a job at Darbst’s Café and managed it for three years. She then entered politics and is a senator in Washington from Minnesota. She’s most successful and a shrewd politician. She’s married to a banker and has money to burn.
MR. ZANDER, after ten more years of teaching, left his wife and four children in June of 1974 and headed for Tahiti where he remarried and spends his time eating pineapples and writing geography tests. His old crony, Mr. Mr. RONKEN quit teaching at Luther and is spending his remaining years with Mr. Zander in Pago Pago. A recent guest there was Mr. Ostby, though in his early sixties, still plays golf 12 hours a day and spends the working months collecting fossils on the riff raff behind the Kellogg building.
MARTY CHRISTENSEN is bucking for Bauman’s job at the State hospital, since Gary has a full-time job as an attendant. He works in the ward where all the old teachers reside. “They don’t die, they just fade away.”
Most recent addition to Kellogg is a TV in every room and the principal lectures to the students an hour each morning and an hour at 3 to 4 in the PM. Lunch duty is over. Kids get a pill with vitamin etc. Texts are not required since TV and machines do all the teaching.
* He put “trampoline”. Accurate as far as I can read the mimeographed and faded paper…
