Nineteen saiiox C!Li Hello. Indies and Gentlemen! This is Halter Hinchell bringing you the latest report of the news that’s news today, 1960. First let’s look at the seniors who graduated from Riddle High School in 1954. Norman Aikins has taken over his dad’s ranch and extended it the entire length of Cow Creek Valley. His speciality is raising Brahma bulls. James Klope has become the most famous trapper of all times. He just returned from the Artie with 150 different types of furs. June Fairchild is busy in East Africa doing missionary work. In her spare time she has been thinking up new ideas on how to make better advertising posters.

She has surpassed all previous records of book sales writh her latest, “How to Catch a Man and Keep Him.” Don Strode and Gary Garren are now' Oregon’s State game commissioners.

Beverly Dort w'as the smart one all right. She stayed in Riddle and married the owner of Hanna, and at the present is living in a $50,000 home. She didn’t need that shorthand after all.
