“
told me that he was working for a well known New York Architectural firm as one of the leading architects. He asked me if I had ever heard of Lencers Houses , and I told him naturally, who hadn't. Well, Bill was the Lencer of Lencer H us s . 3111 said that he had been living back east for about six years and that he was getting married in about three months to Fordena Ford, a grand niece of Henry Ford. I wished him good luck and wondered if all of his money would ev r make him conceited. After my Cincinnati trip, I returned to Madras for a visit with old friends and relatives. While still visiting at home, I learned that Vernon Golay was opening super-neat market in Portland. He had gone through a study of neats after graduating from MUHS and was now ouite successful. Carl Rhoda, one time Madras High Principal, but now highly paid artist,had financed him for his first super-meat market built in Metolioua, thriving agricultural town of 3,000. After making a small fortune in Ketolious, Vernon began to put meat markets in all over the country and now has a string of markets surpassing the importance of the Safeway stores. Vernon is known for his undying devotion to his brilliant and gracious wife, Clarice. He told newspaper men at his grand opening that his success was chiefly due to her help. One of my friends wrote me that she was going to visit the King Ranch of Texas. I had heard of it and I knew that it was one of the biggest ranches in the world,but I didn't know that Shirley Marshall wai the proprietor. Ky friend is not one to exaggerate so I know the following facts to be true. The front lawn of the ranch extends fifty miles to the ocean where you can ride three or four days steady and not cross the vast grazing lands of it. Shirley's cowboys told my friend that Shirley was one of the number one citizens in Texas and the greatest cow-girl in the Southwest. Her one big problem of the present is to raise cattle which are more meat and less bone. She thinks a good deal of rest and plenty of food could accomplish this. In Life magazine,they awarded her the trophy for extended research in the field of cows. Shirley seems very happy and contented with her outdoor life and from all reports she is prettier than ever and twice as oerky. '.■hen I again took to the road, I flew to New Orleans, where there was going to be an executive meeting of fifteen districts. While there, I heard of a new dancer that was causing a sensation and who was prophecied to become the foremost ballroom dancer in the United States. Never being one to be behind on the news, I attended her performance one night and found this sweeping ballerina to be none other than Madeline Kelley, a light-footed gal even in her teens. After the show I went back stage to re-acquaint myself with Lyn as the billboards called her. I saw that she was wearing a huge diamond engagement ring and upon inquiry, I found that it belonged to a navy man. I should have known as muchI Madeline was always true to the men in blue even in her high school days. My trip didn't last long and soon I was on my way to Boston, the city of brown bread and baked beans. I found out later that Madeline finally married her navy man and is now cooking and caring for three children. She seems to like it, any way she was chosen for the typical housewife and mother for two years in succession. In my work I am required to inspect all schools where the students board. In 3oston there are a great many of them and all of them much alike. I didn't expect anything different in the last school I inspected until I met the Girl's Advisor. Looking very efficient and capable, Sdythe Spafford made the typical Girl's Advisor. She had on a brown gabardine tailored suit with a pair of the very latest brown suede shoes. As far as poise and finish were concerned, Edythe was far beyond the most accomplished. She gave me a warm greeting and went with me on my tour through the school. When we came to the end of the inspection, Edythe invited me to have dinner at the school's dining room. I accepted and immediately found myself being swept away to the far end of the hall by a hoard of about 550 students. When I had caught my breath and settled down to eat, I discovered that Edythe and I were not alone. Sitting by Edythe was a very familiar face. Nothing like marrying someone from your own home town, and that Is what Edythe did. One of our own Madras High School's former students.
