TWO YOUNG WOMEN FROM SALISBURY AREA RECEIVE NATIONWIDE HONORS Miss Joyce Phillips has been named Spinster of the Year for 1966. She resides on one of her farms near Prairie Hill. (She always said she had little use for a man.) Mrs. Gene Boss, the former Janice Bartholomew, has Just returned from competition in the Mrs. America Contest. She made a very good showing for Salisbury, receiving 3rd place. OWNERSHIP OF LOCAL ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED Mr. Jerry Hayward has just bought out his-partner, Ronald Fitzpatrick, and is now the sole owner of the Chariton House. They remain partners in the rest of their chain of nightclubs, however. Jerry says that he spent so much time and money there he decided to capitalize— Ronald is still looking for an easy job with short hours and high pay. YOUNG MEN FROM THIS AREA WIDELY RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR EFFORTS IN AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS. James Wolfe, prominent Iowa farmer and one-time student in the Salisbury schools, has won the farm improvement award for the Central region. He owns several large farms and has improved them all extensively. Robert Moore and Ivan Gesslinghave consolidated their farming interests recently. Robert has specialized in livestock and Ivan has specialized in field crops. They have the largest com- bined production within several counties. Louis Helmich has established the first large scale peacock farm in North America. This ingenuity should more than repay his investment. 15

Class History Well hyar we is chillun, 'bout to graddiate to de World and it behooves us to commemorate dis noteworthy occasion by recordin' de written history of dis mos' illustrious class. Was back 'fore most of us kin remember-or most of us wants to-in de fall of 1943 Miss Fannie Winfree welcomed 22 smilin' litti' faces to kindergarten-dat is, some of 'em was smilin'- some of 'em was bawlin'-or gittin' ready. These little chillun was Shirley Lingo, Delma Ponder, Clinton Eubank, Evelyn Stevenson, Charles Baldridge, Donald Lee Garner, Dale Dooley, Charlene Marrin, Sharon Kay Ward, Jan Helmich, Jean Winkelmeyer, and Lou Anna Elmore. Marilyn Wolters, John Dale Lusby, Sammy Green, Louie Helmich, Mel Kyes, Barbara Hutchin- son, Mary Frances Dugger, Velma Ruth Fox, and Everette Dugger. Come dat fust year, Clinton, Evelyn, Sharon Kay, Charlene, and John Dale-dey done lef us. After threshin' 'round in kindergarten we got promoted to de fust grade and some new chullun jined our ranks. Dey was Howard Eugene Ellis, Paul Burton Hunker, and Marvin Howard. Miss Fannie was still de shepherdess of de flock. After de statuatory limits had expired on our tenure in de fust grade we all became second graders with Miss Rosalie Jennings patrolling de squadron. New recruits was Norma Jean Preston, Billy Preston, and Winona Goins. Mary Dugger, Howard Eugene Ellis, Velma Ruth Fos, Jan Helmich and Paul Burton Hunker left de ranks. Mrs. Bahr picked us all up in de third grade. We was smote wit' grief when Sammy Green moved to de Washington District and Barbara Hutchinson moved to Kansas City (brudder was he a doll;' was she a doll;) (and we was gettin' old enuf to know de difference.) Howsome ever, we was glad to welcome Ivan Gesling, Wayne Billue, Janice Green, and Bobby Bloss. Norma Jean Preston, Wayne Billue, and Ivan Gesling transferred to another school when we was elevated to de fourth estate and Cleva Lee Greening and John Spellman dropped in to take de vacant places. Mrs. Smith inculcated knowledge in the ever-widening horizons of de minds in this period. Mrs. Jackson inherited de brilliant intellects of dis mos' illustrious and unforgettable class in de fifth grade. Gordon and James West joined us in de scramble for lamin'. We had lost John Spellman, Janice Green, Bobby Bloss, Cleva Lee Greening, and Charles Baldridge. De sixth grade found us floundering with fractions and fractures and Mrs. Farthing floun- dering with us. Nola Todd, Kay Cadmus, Everette Dugger and Jimmie Millstead joined us in dese noble endeavors. Unfortunately Jimmie stayed only long enuf to cause a lot o' heartache for a certin' blond in de class. Our fame spread, eight new pursuers of knowledge enrolled in dis noble and high purpose class, -dey was Billy Chrane, Jerry Hayward, Milton Jordon, Robert Moore, W. L. Peart, Billy Mays, Bonnie Wisdom, and John Lusby who returned. Billy Chrane didn't stay long though. Mrs. Kressig was de' inspiration who brought confusion from chaos during our so-journ in the seventh grade. In our final flare of glory-de year we got in more trubble dan we ever did dare before or since-we was rulers of de roost-noble eighth graders and lords of all we surveyed. Three loyal members couldn't stan' it and moved as far away as dey could-John Lusby to Texas, Bonnie Wisdom to Clifton Hill, Everette Dugger to Keytesville. And Janet Carter came to Join the fun 16
