15 The next morning when Hank and Lem arose, they looked toward the horizon and beheld a strange sight.At first they thought it was just anoth- er dust storm, but soon they were able to make out£ the figures of heavily loaded wagons and many, many horsemen, coming rapidly toward them. Hank, as soon as his brain had. begun to function, gave Lem a queer look, screeching, Now, you have don» it.It's a strike , and if we don't clear out we'll be killed! Thev very, very hurriedly put their few belongings together and, taking one last look at the rich brook, started sorrowfully away. Lem, who had been about ready to cry, finally yelped, Cheerji up. Hank. It's better than being murdered! And besides, now we can go to Ne vady. Howard Olmstead '40 tt- - -! - -! - News Flashes This is radio station F. J. C. in Franklin, Vermont, bringing you the latest news of 1959. A reunion of the class of 1939 is being staged here today. In honor of that class we will give a brief review of the life of each member. Donald Ashton is now the captain of the U. S.S. Mauratania. He has worked his way up from the bottom through a series of promotions, and hones for another promotion soon. We can still remember the time when he told the sailors that girls onlyvbroughtAtrouble, and within ten minutes he himself was trying to date a pretty blond. Loyd Gyr, our farmer, is also here today with his little family of seven. After graduating from high school , he went to work on the farm and was soon married. You have all heard of the famous manle sugar he makes. And oh, yes, we ought to ask hin about that huge DumDkin he is growing for a world wide exhibit. We hope for his sake that it will Drove even larger than his expectations. Here comes the rose among thorns, Ruth Harrison, now a'lIrsT to you. She graduated from high school with second honors, took up nurses train- ing» graduated as a registered nurse, and was soon the head, nurse in the hospital. But after that it wasn't long before we heard wedding bells. In the last ten years she has been very busy taking care of her three children; so that little yellow house on the hill is really a home now. Next - Robert Irish! Who has forgotten the times his fawe has come to us on the screen? It was an eventful day for him when he was discovered as the screen hit of 1947 .But, although he was a successful actor, he soon tired of his work and retired to his estate at Brown's Cor- ner. Even if he is now a gentleman farmer , how many of us will ever forget his most popular hit, Man of the Ozarks ?
