He still does some woodworking but says the duties of the farm make him neglect his hobby. His set of power farming implements is quite complete. His latest addition is a combine. Some time ago he had an accident in his workshop, losing several finger tips, but why let a little thing like that bother? Wallace Gingerich joined the ranks of the married during the past year. Mrs. Gingerich was formerly Miss Wilma McClelland of Wellman. They reside at Wallace’s home farm where Wallace applies agricultural knowledge gained at Center. Wallace has graduated from the Chevrolet class to the Pontiac. Lorraine Miller lives on the old Miller homestead. Mrs. Eli King is the name now, in case some have forgotten. More agriculturalists. Ervin Eash still sells groceries for the Economy stores in Iowa City. They (Ervin and Lois) have been Iowa City residents for quite some time, but one still sees them around Frytown occasionally. Judging by his term of service at the Economy, Ervin must be an efficient worker. George Hess hasn’t lost his bright smile even though he is seriously engaged in farming. Old Man’s Creek and the surrounding hills are the scenes of his activities. Seth Eimen is the lone school teacher of the men’s division of the class. The Bohemians around Solon seem to think they have found something in him. He has been there for a good while and from reports is doing a fine job. He has been taking some college work at State Teachers and Iowa. Walter Reber has stayed out west. He’s still in Boise, Idaho, working in a large department store as a receiving department clerk. They enjoyed the portability of a trailer home for some time. It would be nice to be at home wherever you are. Melva Gingerich, too, has gone west. Windsor, Colorado, has been her address for the past year. She’s teaching social studies in the sugar beet region of Colorado.

Did he surprise us? ie and his bride, formerly Bessie Kleinschmidt, are living on a farm northeast of Fry- town. Charles drives a cream truck for the Johnson County Creamery. Two classmates of ’34 have joined hearts and hands in the bonds of matrimony. Cleo Yoder and Margaret Fry were married last winter and are now living on the Nagle farm west of Iowa City. Want to spend a day with them? Better go to bed early if you don’t want to miss out on Margaret’s delicious breakfast. The Reber Cousins seem to find trucking a fascinating job. Lester is driving a truck for Omar Hochstetler of Wellman. William Reber drives a fruit truck from Boise, Idaho, to Los Ange’es, Calif. Let’s pay him a visit. Perhaps he would give a free ride to California and treat us with fresh oranges. Beulah Slaubaugh keeps herself busy at home when she isn’t working at some ES ( ) se) a |) -() a () A ( ) other place. One of the interesting experiences she has had is working at the Men- { nonite Children’s Home in Kansas City, Kansas. 1 Ruby Taylor Ayres has also left the bliss of single life after finishing a success- j ful term of teaching at Mt. Union, Iowa. She became the bride of Thomas Ayres x of Iowa City on August 14, 1938. The couple is at home in Maurice, lowa, where Tom { is engaged in teaching music, and Ruby is busy with duties around the house, wh.ch i include keeping the cookie jar full. 2 CLASS OF 1938 { Lois Erb is attending Goshen College with her sister, Shirley. She has not fully { decided yet whether she will take up nurses’ trainng next fall or continue college i work. ‘ Dorothy Gingerich finds plenty to do helping mother and father on the farm. 1 Although she is busily engaged in various tasks at home, you may find Dorothy with i a rosy blush and merry smile. : Alva Grout is assisting his father with the work on the farm. Center High still q holds an attraction for him for he is seen there occasionally. i Luci'e Swartzendruber is ancther class member who makes her education prac- : tical by helping at home. She has also tried her skill working at the turkey p ant ( in Wellman last fall. j i , SS a ) AD ( ) SED () AD () ED () ED () ED ( ) RNED () - ED- ( ) CHE-( ) ED () DD ( DD ) ED) DY, Page Twenty-Cne 6) mm () () a () a () D () D- () ( a ) a () () a () ED () ED () ED () ED () DC e

We lost the first two games to Sharon and Tiffin. Girl’s Athletics lost to Oxford. In the County Tournament we won the first game with Tiffin which took us to the finals where we played Sharon and were defeated. In the Sectional Tournament at Marengo we were defeated in our first game by Solon. and so were eliminated from the tournament. 0 0 a 0 0) 0) i 6 come) eee 4) RE) SR) RE 6) ER A) CSS ¢) RD) ED ¢) ED () I ¢) -«) SEE EE ED) A) ID) ED) AD) SS) SD () AS) AD () D-() AED) END.
