L From Green Island, we tune our channel to the town of Twin Springs. There we see Darrel Drury- He has started a bachelors club ln Twin Springs. He has 129 members. He wanted 130 members but Joyce Hammond and Dale Brown were married, so this upset the membership. Darrel has gone with about every girl in Jackson County. He says lt eosts too much to keep a wlfe with these high prices. Teeds Grove now comes into focus. Martin Hansen and Mary Hathaway are running a sweet little hatchery in Teeds Grove. They call it Martin and Mary's Little Baby Chicks. Martin has invented seven new breeds since 1953. Oh, yes, they have three sets of twins that are their own. We happened to be driving by a chicken hatchery in Andover when we saw a man running madly all over the street. We knew right away that it was Harlan Eggers. We stopped to ask him what was the matter. He told us that he was the proud owner of 732,021 new baby chicks. We also see that Lavonne Johnson now has her own beauty salon in Andover. She is one of the best beauty operators around that country. She. also has written a book on hair styling. We found Harlan Marx on a horse farm in Andover. He's got a new breell of horses, you know. Two seated ones for Nancy Taplin and him to ride. Allan Naeve now owns 1,000 acres south of Andover where he is working on a better hy-brld seed corn than he turned out last year. The one last year produced only ten bushel to the hill with a stock twenty foot tall. The new one is to be thirty-five feet tall and produce twenty bushel to the hill. As we turn our radar screen to Hollywood, we see Darleen Meggers who is now uhe trainer and mistress of Lassle's great-grand-daughter, Lou- Lou. As we look in on the White House we see Donna Elckert, the private secretary of the president. She is sitting on his lap taking a letter to send to his wife. Looking down at Paris we see Jlmrny Eggers at the National Art Building. Jimmy has taken up art and likes the styles and gals there. Beverly Bartlett has done very well at St. L1.rke's Hospital at Cedar Rapids. She is head nurse now, but she still has trouble with men patients from around her home town that lnsist she care for them. Looking in on the former Dianne Ockelmann where should she be but ln Cheyenne, Wyoming. She helps ber husband run their horse ranch. Right now she ls breaking one of the wildest horses ln Wyoming. She ls one of the best horse breakers in Wyoming. In her spare time, she is raising, no not colts, but her two sons. 19

As we look toward the school, we see Shirley Kokemuller. She is very busy slaving over the stove cooking a meal for her family of seven boys. Going into the Miles School, who should we see but the former Beverly Petersen as the home economics teacher and also wife ofthe school super- lntendent. .We then caught sight of the Miles School Gym where Miles was leading 50-l in a basketball game wlth Preston. We then caught sight of a man with a big smile, patting each player on the back and to our surprise we found it was Miles Hi coach, Gllbert Bott. As we leave Mlles, we see a prosperous looking farm. lt is early evening and there in the rear we see Dale lrown mowing the lawn. The former Joyce Hammond is having quite a time keeping the two children from bothering thelr daddy. Joyce and Dale have been happily married now for five years. Next we tune into Green Island, channel number 214785. For those who didn't get it, I will repeat lt, channel 675430. First we sight a large stone house. As we look more carefully at the house, we see a name engraved on the do-or, Dr. Richard Flscher . Were we surprised when we looked through the window, and there on his lap, lmaglne, a magazine. There we also saw a little white house with blue shutters, nestled at the foot of the bluff. Inside the house, we see Mr. and Mrs. Russell Guenther fthe former Gaynell Roel and their two children seated at the breakfast table. They are discussing sending their children to Miles. You see all the little schools around there are closed. Next we see a big baseball game in action. We had been informed that the G.I. Giants were battling the New York Yankees for the world series. Coming up to bat, we recognize Roger Tarr. We hear voices shouting, 'Come on Daddy . So we look lnto the crowd and ln the flrst row we see three little boys with their mother, the former Bethel Colburn. We also see Harlan Daniels. It seems that Harlan has reached his peak at major baseball pltchlng. The Yankees bought him from the Indians last year for a new high, S1,000,000. Leon DePue has retired on the sum he got inventing the shatter-proof baseball catchers mlt to catch I-larlan's fast ball. We next see the International Trap Shoot. Here ve see Glenn Gravert with his S400 Browning Special. Glenn ls competing with some of the best shots ln the world. Oh, its snap to get into this shoot. All you have to do is hit a thousand out of a thousand. Glenn ls now going to shoot three clay birds in a row while standing on his head. Glenn still owns their farm but he has changed lt into a hunting club. Men from all over the world come there to go hunting at the lake. Next we see the Jackson Kennels coming into focus. As we look inside we see Arnle Jackson. Arnie has raised some of the best' toy terriers in the world. Arnie has raised terriers for Xavier Cugat. 18

Turning the screen in one the White House who should be there but Nancy Walker. Guess what she is doing? She is painting the president's por- trait, and a fine job it is too, She gets paid 51,000.00 for doing this. lt is her main work now, but in her spare time, she raises thorough-bred horses for a Horse Club in Washington D.C. As, we look in on the Mayor of C1inton's office we see Betty Jepsen. Her greatest wish has been fulfilled. She is secretary to the mayor. Betty makes quite a lot of money and she is now building herself a small cottage. After seeing all of the 1952 graduates from Miles High we turn our radar screen off. Our best wishes for the next ten years. May they be happy and prosperous. 20 ll
