Cullom High School - Cullog Yearbook (Cullom, IL)

We greatly enjoyed the scenic beauty of this particular area, but we never expected to find Richard flackmore, the famous motion picture director, here also, making a movie. He gave Paul and me permission to watch the movie stars perfonn. Being lovers of animals, we decided to visit the Brookfield Zoo, if it took no money to enter. We were greatly surprised to find the head physican was Velma Nettleingham, who is widely known as the world's foremost animal-mind specialist. Upon arrival at the village of Cullom, by means of a fast no m.p.h. freight train, I spied James Stucker chasing a butterfly with a net-like affair. When I caught up to him, he said that he was the village dog catcher. It seems he was elected to lure dogs as he used to lure girls during his high school years. I wanted to see my former classmate Sandra Haag, who was said to be highly successful. Having on my only set of clothing and also because of my habit of getting dizzy at heights, I decided it best just to wave at her and watch her paint the top of the water tower. She does a thriving business all over the U. S. painting water towers. Paul, the more cultured of the two of us went down to the business district and watched Betty Clark perform at her opera house, the only one remaining in the state. Her performances are considered to be the reason for the closing of the other opera houses in Illinois. Farther down the street I ran into a group of soldiers who were escorting the former Marilyn Kewley across the street. I had heard she was married to a five-star general, but I didn't know her new name so I didnit speak to her. Her husband had led the AJ! lied troops on an invasion of Christmas Island, which was being attacked by tropical birds. I learned that Arletta Ginter, who studied to be a nurse afta' high school, met a rich doctor recently and married him. Now they are one of the most important nurse-doctor teams in the medical profession today. As I walked farther down the street, I came to a pole which was partly concealed by a sigh stating, HVote for Peggy Billerbeck for Mayor.W Since, by reason for my occupation, it is not my nat- ure to become too familiar with minions to the law, I hastily took leave to the old home town and resumed my leisurely travel of the U. S. A.

I passed through the circus car and I noticed that the fat woman grinned at me. Looking again, I realized that it was Rita Clark, who had sacrificed her figure to make a quick million. While I was eating and looking out the window, I saw an enor- mous sign which read, WNOW IN PERSON---GERALD HARMS GIVING H S LECTURES ON INTRA-SPACE TRAVEL.W I stopped off to give him some pointers, surrendering my accommodations on the train by doing so On the pictures I saw that the first Miss Universe, who was a resident of the moon, was another of my classmates, namely Rita Sadler. It was hard to catch a fast freight in such a small Eastern town, so I decided to talk to a junkman who was collecting junk from the junkyard. I was astonished to find it was Jack Dutton, who was doing a thriving business. Jack told me to go to a nearby town where Roger Corkill was running a used car lot, selling the cars his wife had worn out. Roger told me Holland Read had become a millionaire selling a type of yeast which allowed a person to make donuts without cutting holes in them. He didn't tell me his major secrets for fear that I would compete with him. I was going to hitch-hike to Chicago when I noticed a train pulled up to a siding- I hopped the freight and found a comfort- able spot on the surface of a cattle car, where I found a fellow hobo. I asked him for the details of the train and found that cousin Paul knew the best spots of the train nearly as well as I. We were going over a small lake when the train inspector spotted us. In order to conceal our idenity and keep from hurt- ing our reputation, we ju ped into the river. Realizing the shore was nearly 100-yards away, we swam toward a small rowboat occupied by a sleeping fisherman. We were utterly astounded to see Scotty spending his 365 leisure days of this leqa year fishing and sleeping. Taking us ashore he pointed out the house of Virgil Roche,th Secretary of the U. N., who had built himself a secluded shack in this territory. We remembered him as a great outdoor man when in high-school.
