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

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
