Yesterday and Today . . . A look at 1927-1987 An El Dorado man named J.H. Tolley lived on soup for six months because of stomach problems. But, due to the invention of Glycas, a remedy for upset stomachs, he was once again able to eat regular foods. A sale at a local El Dorado clothing store allowed customers to purchase mens boots ranging from $3.00 to $5.50. Nowadays a pair of boots can range anywhere from $35.00 to $235.00. Mrs. Ruth Snyder, of New York City, was executed on Friday the 13th, 1928, for killing her husband. She was given three shocks of 2,200 volts each before being pronoun- ced dead. The last thing she said was, Forgive them father for they know not what they do. According to the El Dorado Times, in 1928 one could buy three loaves of bread for 25 cents. Today the average cost for one loaf of bread is around 80 cents. The El Dorado Junior College won the first game it ever played. The team played the Oklahoma Chiloccos Indians, with a 7-6 vic- tory. For $45.00 a month, a person could rent a five bedroom, modern house in El Dorado. For a tighter budget, a person could rent a bedroom in someone else ' s house for only $3.00 a month. The average cost for renting a one room apartment nowadays is around $210.00 a month. A very upset Owen Oberst sup- posedly murdered his father, mother, and five younger siblings on April 20, 1928, in Burns. After allegedly shooting them all, he supposedly poured gasoline around the house, burning it to the ground. What made him do it? The story goes that Owen asked his father if he could borrow the family car to go see a picture show in a nearby town. When the father denied him the privilege, Owen r mr -w AND fulnesst PQrtlNATjQN l MP: .

His trial was the largest media event ever witnesed in Butler County with newspaper correspondents in town from throughout the country. Three trials were held, all ending in a hung jury. Oberst was freed. On Feb. 16, 1928, Clara Bow, famous silent screen star, gave a lecture, in El Dorado, on how to Get Your Man. According to the El Dorado times, one could buy a brand new Whippet car sedan for $535.00. The car included the following: big four wheel brakes, rear gasoline tank, 164 inch springs, long leg room, silent timing chain, 4.75 balloon tires, National economy record, force feed lubrication, lower center of gravity, most ef- ficient engine, greater speed and pick up, and finally a more modern body style. According to the Wichita Eagle-Beacon a new 1987 Lincoln costs $21,999.00. Boxer Jack Dempsey fought at the El Dorado Park in 1927. In the Jan. 12 paper of 1928, the El Dorado Junior College an- nounced that it was planning on publishing its first yearbook. Miss Clementine Bacon, freshman, was elected as the editor for the year- book. Money was supposedly donated from previous graduates from the El Dorado high school. The college announced that the book would contain 56 pages and be ... an attractive and in- teresting publication... Since 1927 the college has published a total of fifty -eight yearbooks. For only 20 cents one could run down to the El Dorado rnovie theatre and see Bebe Daniel in She ' s a Sheik. The El Dorado Times ad read, ...Remember the Sheik who got his gals by hook or heck? Imagine Bebe as a Shebe who gets her men young, trains ' em well, treats ' em swell, and tells ' em nothing! She ' s a Sheik. ..It ' s a scream! To see a movie today it would cost a person $2.50 if he went before six o ' clock in the evening. After six o ' clock the price jumps to $4.50 a person. Darren Little 18 Yesterday and Today

That ' s what these four guys did. As luck would have it, three of them had known each other before. Russell Neigenfind, Robert Schoen and Jeffrey Nicholson were all students together at Maize. Brian Steinbock was a friend of Russell ' s. Last semester, Russell, Robert, Brian and another friend lived there. The fourth person tran- sferred between semester, so Jeffrey filled the vacancy. They live in a four-bedroom, two-story house near BCCC campus. So privacy is not a problem. They share much of the household duties including cleaning and cooking. They have found that eating out is too costly. So these four bachelors have decided it is far more ad- vantageous to cook at home. Russell and Brian are sophomores who are planning to go on. Russell would like to go into teaching and coaching while Brian is undecided.
