ZL st REVONAH v “GREAT EXPECTATIONS ’ May 23. 1972 Dear Mista Schuett: In answer to your inquirin letter about the class of ’52, I have only one comment. “There ain’t much to say.” Anyways I’m sendin you these here clippins from the Hanover Journal in the hopes that they’ll kinda give you an idea of how them kids left a mark on the world. This here front page article by Kathy, denouncin the Democrat Party is one of the series she has written since her marriage to wealthy Car King Ken Campbell, the new president of General Motors. Here’s an advertisement for that new rival of that old picture “A Place in the Sun.” Looks like Ludwig has taken Montgomery Clift’s part and Marchetta plays the opposite role. Here’s a sad note of local news. Our former athlete. Eileen Chapman, broke her jawbone while cheerleading for the University of Illinois. I see here that Neil has become Hanover’s most eligible bachelor again since his divorce from his eighth wife. He never did understand wimmin. Here’s another item by that Mary Alice Haggerty probing another Civil War She’s even made Harold change sides. He’s now a tobacco auctioneer in West Virginia. ' More darned advertisements in this paper. This one here shows Miss Nancy Ireland endorsing Copenhagen. She won a contest last year for the farthest tobacco spit in the country. . You see that well built muscular physique modeling that pair of “Big Smith overalls, well, that is Darla. Everyone said she had a model figure and she has proved it. Yes and here’s Mary Haug. the modern Aunt Jemima. Mary’s face is seen on almost every flour sack in our nation and she has made a million. Barb Harris is really making money with those new hair dyes she has develop- ed. That bright red shade was originally used during her high school days. This line here explains why Ardith was always so quiet. She’s been saving her voice and it has made her a success as winner of that talkin marathon out in California. Says here they’ve raided some joint called “Ciro’s” again. That famous bur- lesque dancer “Betty Jean” escaped and is believed to be hiding at her home in Hanover. You’ll probably be interested to know that a new Superintendent of H. H. S. has been named. It is Virgil Curtis, a former member of that class. Well, the “Mother of the Year” has finally been chosen. It is Mrs. Fred Miller (the former Betty Whitington). She has claimed a definite victory after giving birth to sextuplets. The proud father is president of “The Unemployment Clubs of Ameica.” Our Illinois Congressman. Bill Mercer, is being investigated by the Congres- sional Committee because he bought a mink coat for one feminine member of his class. Bev Cook by name. It’s supposedly a bribe to get her to set a wedding date. You must remember that filling station known as Nick Jims, well it has been sold to a newly married couple and the name has been changed to Phil Gladys. We always thought they were a cute couple. This paper says there is a circus coming and Gerry Wescott is the daring wolf trainer. She must have a way with wolves. That world renowned traveler Neva Boldt is home for a visit. She’s been in every port in the nation with her sailor husband and says Apple River Bay is still the best. T They’ve started a new column here called “Lonely Hearts —It is Joanne Brandt’s advice to all love problems. Experience being the best teacher, she is truly successful. History was made last night with the unveiling of the girl in Old Gold’s dancing cigarette pack. To think all these years it has been our own Pat Massie. The radio review says to be sure to listen to National Barn Dance next Saturday because those new yodeling sensations Therese Jestice and Joyce Thompson will be the star attractions. One last advertisement here states anyone wishing to learn to drive tractors, milk cows or any of the other various farm chores may contact either Mrs. Jane Flack or the former Carol R. They claim a great deal of experience on such matters. Sincerely yours. N 1 9 5 2 V
