©1ft Nnknmts 1933 Straw.” Vivian Perkins had just made his fifth marriage. This to a dazzling French widow. Mildred Verricker and Mariann Laughlin had become believers in the lifting up of young girls and were going around preaching their doctrine. Berle Kessler, Carl Stolte and Paul Keller had organized a partnership air line from Long Beach. Calif., to Salem. Mass. Their latest record had been six minutes. Lee Pope and John Vernetti were now famous scientists. Lee had a theory that the world was flat and John was trying to help him prove it. Julia Wadzita and Mildred Rhodes were living in Chicago. Neither had married as yet but both were going strong. Helen Read had become the greatest hiker in the U. S. She had just hiked from Nome, Alaska, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in twelve hours. Esther Pocock and Helen Schneider had just finished their season at the Metropolitan Opera House. Neuvella Smith had married the month after she was graduated and was still living in Nokomis and now had three hundred hatcheries. Charles Schneider, John Schneider and Frank Tosi had just finished some very delicate tests in which they determined the thickness of the average pencil to the billionth of an inch. Tony and Frank Strazar, who had settled in Pana, had just set up a clinic for cats. Much surprised over some of these revelations I yet determined to take them with ‘‘a grain of salt.” As I walked from the lovely room I remarked to my friend: “Believe it or not, but some of these may be true.” Future Farmers of America The Future Farmers of America held their organization meeting early in the school year.
