W, f fl V jf, u -H-----as M- -L if 77? .4 San Francisco, California May l2, 1948 Mr. Frank Vyzralek Gregory Public Schools Gregory, South Dakota Dear Mr. Vyzralek: I have just received word that you have taken Quincy L. Wright's duties at Gregory. I understand he has retired because of a nervous break-down.- I hope the younger gene- ration will be much easier on your nerves. About 12 months ago I had the misfortune of losing my uncle. I was very much upset and grieved by his death but he consoled me with exactly 32,000,000 so I have decided to retire. In the last ten months I have taken a trip around the world and have fortunately met all my :senior classmates of '58. They have made such marvelous records that I thought you might use them as a means of advertis- ing Gregory High School. I have found that many of the students could not part from their home state of South Dakota. Orgene and Eugene Peterson own a competitive drug store in Dallas. Marvin Allum has a monoply on all barber shops at Dixon, reaping fine profits too, Bob Brunz is a famous crooner over W.N.A.X. Evelyn Chocholousek and Gladine Splcknall hhave accepted positions in Lucas. Joyce Christensen is part owner of the Conoco filling station at Burke. Bob Von Seggern is carrying on his family tradition of lumber by manufacturing and selling picks to the residents of Paxton which is now his home town. Orris Peterson also carries on his family tradition. He owns a farm near Herrick. Merle King is the head of a W. P. A. project irrigating Gregory County in an attempt to grow sugar cane. As you probably know, Emanuel Sorenson is now the owner of the Luellyn Hotel in Gregory and I hear Louise Scott has taken Miss Gertrude Sigler's place in the commercial department in your school, I did not have occasion to see Louise while on my tour through Gregory as you two were attending the matinee at that time. After leaving S. Dak. I went south to New Crleans to Twenty-six

,fry ff1f N I Mri'Frank Vyzralek -2- May l2, 1948 visit my great grandfather. Just as I got off the train in New Orleans, I was confronted by a--oh, you know, one of those guys that poke a gun at you and says, NSt1ck 'em up.u I laughed'and started to walk past him when suddenly I happened to notice his hair. Upon a second glance I recognized him to be Graydon Vakiner. He later told me that he was a man of leisure acting as a second nLady Li- lacn gangster during his spare time. I decided that the play he was in when he was a Senior must have had a bad effect on him and advised him that he was in America and would profit by finding a better past-time. Driving through Toonerville, Kentucky, I met Allen Rajewich. He informed me that he was now manufacturing pretzels. Thelma Leslie's dream has come true. She is a school teacher in the Ozarks. -may to .New York, I decided-I dhght' to have a radio in the new Ford my great grandfather so generously gave me so I stopped in Cincinnati and to my great sur- prise I found Phil Haskett the head of the Philco Radio Corporation. As I left Cincinnatti I found my car sputtering and balking. I was so disgusted that I decided to go to De- troit and tell Mr. Ford what I thought of his car. As I ,drove into Detroit, I saw bills posted everywhere announ- cing the biggest of big fights ----- Joe Louis V. S. George Drapeaux. After a debate with Mr. Ford upon the efficiency of Fords, I decided to go on. By the way I neglected to mention that this said Mr. Ford was no longer Henry Ford but one of my colleague debaters, Hadley Ford. Deesn'ttime change people? Unfortunately I lost my way and landed in Nelsonville, Ga. instead of New York. By this time, I was rather hungry so I decided to'step in the NMan Hater's Night G1ub.u I found Julia Petrik as a waitress in this famous club. She told me that Sylvia Dvorak was employed as her maid. Continuing on my journey I finally landed in New York. I found Helen O'Neill all wrapped up in the New York Times. I complimented her on her advancement from the Gorilla Growls. I found LaVern Kortan, the All-American football champ of Harvard U. preparing for his best and last game of the season. I found Tom Graesser a man of leisure with rneeweaemn In New York. Dorothy Rogan lstnow the head of the Red Cross. . Twenty-seven s.fN-f 4 I l if ry l I f 4
