The juvenille delinquency has decreased greatly since Dean Noffsinger became truant officer; it seems he is quite experienced in this line of work, not saying which side of the line. Coming home for the summer vacation is Dorothy Diggins, Girls Physical Educa- tion teacher. Albert Bloom has just been made head manager of the J. C. Penney Co. at Brush, Colorado. The New York Symphony will have as its guest soloist this weekend, Miss Marjorie Dahms. David Evans has discovered a new brand of cigarettes, the “Evanstons”. You had better give them a try. The new minister at the Brush Methodist Church is the Rev. Fred Burnett. Have you noticed? Vale Blessing, Jr. is driving a new 1960 Cadillac. Making his fortune from duck hunters hunting out of season, is Don Marietta. Have you noticed the heatwave sweeping the nation? This hot air is due to the recent success of that saxophone player, Bruce McLagan. Having revised all school Spanish books to his satisfaction, Edward Padilla is thinking of retiring. Juanita Peterson has just told us that she has become a professional jockey and that she owes her success to horseback riding. Ronnie Rieb, president of the Basketball Coaches Association, is here for a rest. Following the announcement of “Mr. America of I960” it was announced that Phyllis Hansen of Brush. Colorado, will become the new “Mrs. America”. The new member of the Tennessee Mountain Boys is Bart Gill, with enough money to own his own still. Jackie Hartwig, the Valentino of the piano, has a good deal to say about the “Strife” Magazine. Peter Hildebrand, editor of the “Western Horseman” and other famous magazines, and Jerry Johnson, well known rancher, are still hunting Indians during their spare time.

PROPHECY Class of '50 in ’61 Miss Shirley Boxer has just returned from a three-year cruise to Paris and other parts of Europe. The new “Drive Inn” near Brush is under the management of Frances Christansen and Mary Ann Walter. Delmar Edson is the head of the regional National Guard units. Charles Schafer has just bought a share in the Adams’ Oil Co. Bud Sorensen in this year of 1961 is the great coach of C. U. The President has appointed Irene Sullivan as Postmistress at Ft. Morgan. Harry Tate has just recently purchased a new 1962 Rocket 88 Oldsmobile and wants everyone to make sure they get a ride. Fire Chief, Dale “Freddie” Walker, saves Jack Boxer’s house when it catches fire. Ramon Walker is succeeding Mr. Schweers as a great Mathematics Teacher. Clyde “Bud” Smith has announced his opening of the big Smith Ranch with all wooden horses. Harold Spade’s champion runner “Lukaiya” won the Kentucky Derby. The former Donna Lee Starr has just been named Morgan County Health Nurse. We hear that the Denver Symphony Orchestra has called for the great French horn player, Dorothy Walter. The governor of California is having none other than Velma Atkinson as his personal nurse. The new teacher in the Home Economics Department is Mary Ellen Bass. Betty Wambolt is now secretary to the new governor of Colorado. Joan Bolinger didn’t complete her major in Physical Education, but she gets plenty of workouts at home. The Former Nancy Lee Weimer is thriving quite nicely on the million dollar income from the Gimbel’s Construction firm. Now controlling the Brush Duckwall Store is Helen Weinmaster. The play boy, Joe Miller, has produced another hit for Broadway. This one is called “Laugh? I Thought I’d Die!” Dorothy Reichart’s long major in chemistry has proved wasted; she no longer is a chemist. ( ?)
