Bobby Clayberg still has his little farm west of town. He batches there with his dog, Skeeter. Betty Haacke has now moved into Lewistown, right over the Dew Drop Inn. I wonder what Lewistown has that Cuba never had. Pauline Tracey has moved to Bushnell now, but she is still as nice as ever. Oh, no,I hate to mention this but Eddie Phillips and Vernie Harr just finished first in the national tournament for Hop Scotch. The last words | heard Eddie utter were, ‘“That’s good ball playin.”’ Guess what? Last year Richard and Robert Sorrels both were awarded the prize for the best rabbit hunters of the season. Lois Schoonover is now the Home Economics teacher in Cuba. Mrs. Hovey decided it was too much to run two homemaking jobs at once so she retired. I really don’t know how to tell you about Arla Jean Rock. She has a teach- er’s degree in commercial, home economics, chemistry, and Latin. She is trying to pick out what she wants to teach this year. Maybe you can give her some advice. Since Barb Maxson was married before she was out of school, I don’t have much to tell about her except that she is still as happy as ever. ‘“‘Hopp-along’’ Haggerty just inherited a large ranch in Wyoming. He will be settling out there just as soon as he gets his business affairs wound up. Dick Ewan, now a photography editor for Walt Dizney Studios in Hollywood, has great fun taking pictures of Mickey Mouse. They get along very well to- gether. I hate to say this, Mr. Davis, but poor old Waynie Lowe is still down at Seville. He zooms off for Bushnell every night rigged out in his best finery, but he’s still a farmer at heart. I guess Clinton McLouth really heads the party at Bradley. He is now cap- tain and star player of their famed basketball team. He is the leader in every class he has. Some of those girl scholars have a hard time keeping up with him. Yes, you guessed it. Alfred Nelson got a new job working at Day Palin’s new world famous bakery. He now has a lot of money or should I say, ‘tDough in his hair.’’ Carol Gilmore and Guy Powell finally consented to marrying each other. They now have two chickens, five goats and two rabbits. They hope to increase the herd next year. Eleanor Wust is now running a new Made-Rite Stand in Bernadotte around the new tourist camps that have recently sprung up. Yes, Tessie Schleich is still running. She still works night and day. She very seldom ever gets a chance to sit down and enjoy the company of her three children. EY Yoo ] are se

Cuba, Illinois April 10, 1962 Yale College Dear Professor Davis, Yesterday as I entered the Cuba bank, I received your address from an old schoolmate, Betty Hutchins. She has become very much involved in the garage business and is too busy to write so [ thought I would drop you a line. Would you care to hear about the old class of ’52? It has been ten years, but everyone surely misses the things we used to do at Cuba High. Larry Coulter was very industrious after finishing high school. His name is now Mr. Nancy Marshall, Manager of the new hardware store in Cuba. Artie Zimmerman entered nurses’ training after school was out. She will be a full fledged nurse in 1963. I was hungry for a piece of pie yesterday sol walked over to the Manor House Cafe. Dorothy Williamson served me the best apple pie you ever ate. She’s still a good cook. Ray White, gosh, he’s still as timid and quiet as ever; but you see he does not get a chance to say much cause he has a wife and four kids now. Lorraine Wheeler is done writing. The war is over and Jim Pigg is marching home. They will be married soon, I hear. Last night I went by Shirley Walsh’s house. Her light was still buming. | guess she has started on European books. She’s read everything in the U. S. Leigh Ann Henderson is now hat check girl at the Brown Derby Cafeteria in Hollywood. She hopes for better work next year. News has just come in that Bud Kelly has made his will. He has left all of his estate to Vernie Harr and Eddie Phillips. Lois Recter finally got that big class ring she wore changed to a diamond last Christmas. [ think she’ll have another ring before the year is out. A couple of years ago, Ruthie Quick entered National Competition and won “‘Miss Glamor’’ of 1960, but as usual Dick Shaw made up with her again and he won’t allow it anymore. Mary Churchill has finally given up looking for a rich husband and has set- tled down to enjoy the rest of her beauty career. Well, Mr. Davis, since Georgia Burrows can’t argue anymore with you she has her rounds with Chuck Pilgrim every night. They are now happily married but the air is always full of ‘‘flying saucers.”’ Max Burrows has done quite well for himself in the Dakota mountains, trap- ping for animals. He has a great collection of furs in his cabin. ee ee 5 ck JOA CARO OO I. Jt fede COE, LENE TN SSN

Don Macey has just finished his third lap around the North Pole. He’s still away out in front. Time will tell whether he can survive the blistering heat of the North Pole. Spoon River has had another big flood. Howard Bell has lost his whole fish hatchery in the water and will be unable to get into town for weeks. Audrey Edsall, now Mrs. James Sharpe, is happily married and has three children; James I, James II, and James III. She just needs two more to make the first five for Cuba’s ball team. Judy Morgan is now a stenographer for Coach Jerry Lemon of the Bradley Braves. She is now residing in Peoria. I haven’t heard from Betty Slater for years, but the last ] heard she was taking a post-graduate course in Steno III. Oh, yes! Harold Lynch and Noble Hall have gone into a permanent business now as taxi drivers. Business is really picking up more everyday. Last week | went into Day and Palin’s, and Vic Juliuson was still working there. [| think he is half owner now. I suppose you’re wondering what I’ve done. Well, I’m married and have a small regiment of marines running around tearing up my house; but, as everyone else is, I’m happy too. Sincerely, Berneita George
