IMBLER GAZETTE Vol. 8 No. 3 June 1, 1955 FORMER IMBLER STUDENTS MAKE GOOD Elva McKinnis is now private secretary to Mr. Albert Hopkins who is president of the orange growers association of Alaska. The intense heat of the Alaska climate has greatly added to the intelligence of both Mr. Hopkins and Elva. Duane Schwebke is now the Reverend pastor of Summerville, Oregon. His sermons are so soothing that his whole congregation goes to sleep occasionally. John Couzens, Doctor of Medicine, is making quite a name for himself as the head of a clinic for the removal of outgrown toenails in East Australia. Shirley Wilson is the first woman ever appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her first move after she was appointed was to have the Supreme Court bench repainted and redecorated with white polka-dotted damask. Donald Hill has charge of the new macaroni factory in Alicel, Oregon. They are making a new macaroni product by stuffing the macaroni with (he holes of doughnuts. Who doesn’t like the funnies? A new cartoonist will make his appearance in this paper next Sunday. He runs a strip entitled, Pink-eye, the Snail Eater.” He draws pictures under the name of Jim. the Ant Killer; but in real life he is none other than Leon Paroz. Shirley Hibbcrd, famous for her cooking and author of her own auth-orative cook-book entitled, How to Feed Your Family On Little Or Nothing has just created a new recipe that is sweeping the country. For your convenience, we are printing it below. POINT SAVING MEAT SUBSTITUTE 1 cup baking powder Vi cup soda (finely ground) 1 teaspoon pepper 2 finely ground apples (whole) 1 cup of All-Bran 1 tablespoon white beans '2 cup distilled water 10 lbs. enriched cake flour 1 tablespoon green food coloring Mix ingredients thoroughly and bake for 2l i hours in an oven at a very high temperature. Miss Hibberd let Mr. Bill Howell be the first to try her new recipe. Funeral services will be held for Mr. Bill Howell at the Summerville chapel at 2:30 p. m. Tuesday, Rev. Duane Schwebke officiating. Bill Howell died suddenly yesterday afternoon. The world lost a truly great man. He had been hailed as a second Edison and Marconi combined. His last invention was a self-lighting cigarette that made him millions and put his name in the nation’s mouth. He was working on a non-squirting grapefruit at the time of his death. If it would have proved successful he would have been known to every breakfast table in America.

SENIOR GOSSIP Well, when we come back next year after three months vacation, we’re going to be mighty lonesome without our Senior class to worry us and help us. The Juniors have a lot to live up to if they are as good as the Seniors are. Gossip has it that Elva is going to work in an office this summer. We hope she enjoys her work immensely—and doesn’t drive her boss crazy. Susie, Annie, and Evvie say: If a girl speaks to everyone, she’s forward, If she doesn’t, she’s bashful. If she talks she’s a flirt, If she doesn’t, she’s a high-hat. If she’s smart in school, she’s a highbrow. If she isn’t she’s dumb. If she talks about others, she’s catty, If she talks about herself she’s conceited. If she’s popular, she’s talked about, If she isn’t she’s a dud. If she goes with boys she’s a pick-up. If she doesn’t she’s a wall-flower. THERE JUST AIN’T NO JUSTICE ! ! ! ! Annie has had a lot of fun this year flirting with Freddie. (And don’t say Freddy hasn’t flirted back.) It looks like Johnnie has gone back on Imbler girls. He spent most of Ins time either in La Grande or Elgin. We hear by a round-about-way that Duane would like to buy a farm and settle down. Won’t it seem funny to see Duane pitch hay instead of woo? 1’arzec is planning on joining the Coast Guard before school is out. Loads of luck, Leon. It looks like Don Hill is just a farmer boy at heart. (Who knows, maybe he’ll marry the farmer’s daughter.) Freddy has really been going to town with his trumpet, lake notice folks—he may be famous some day. Susie spent all of her spare time working in the store. Maybe if she keeps on she’ll have a store of her own some day.
