Pro hecy Sharon Oberle Sharon is a nurse and a very successful one She hasn t married yet, although she has two or three standing offers she is considering, the men being wealthy Since they are inmates of the Menninger C11n1c, Sharon is rather skeptical and thinks she had better rely on her own income to take care of herself However, she hasn't give up hope, she knows her dream man will come along some day Esther Rowe After getting her degree in Commerce from Harvard, Esther came back to her old home town to teach There have been many rumors lately about her romance with Mr Oar, the owner of the vitamin pill factory in Carbondale When I asked her about it she said, Yes wedding bells will be ringing soon Tommy Bevan Tom 1S now the sole owner of the Carbondale Baseball team, which is in
