Labor . She is planning to put her play on the stage soon, featuring herself as heroine. With her was her fiance, MICHAEL CHARNISKY, who is the professor of the Charnisky College of Irv- ing, Illinois. BILL BARNSTABLE and LEE LEHMAN, who were great Marine heroes during the war, were also there. They are now living on their farms in the South Fork Community and say they are going to be bachelors the rest of their lives. Another guest was KENNETH BAT- TLES. He is president of the Farm Bureau and spends his leisure time riding around in his 1954 model automobile. Accompanying him were the Mayor and his wife, MARY LOU O'MALLEY. Mary Lou is the proud mother of two red haired boys. We were entertained by ALMA DOBER- NICK singing the old favorite song Pistol Packin' Mama accompanied by WENDELL STIVERS and his orchestra. Wendell and his orchestra have a permanent stand playing at EVELYN DURBIN'S night club in Wenonah, Illinois. The night club is named Ducominn. MELVIN PIEPER and WILBUR SWANEY also entertained us by playing a piano duet. They play over station W.D.Z. each day at 3 o'clock in the morning. Yes! There have been many changes made in the Nokomis Community in the last ten years. For instance, CARROLL HERZOG and BILL SAATKAMP have gone into partnership and own a large garage in which they specialize in repair- ing Peeps and Jeeps. In addition to this, WILMER and KENNETH GERMAN have built a large airport on their South Audubon farm for the benefit of all the young Nokomis fliers. As we continued to look up the rest of our former class- mates we found that PATRICIA KELLER, who always believed in waiting for the right man to come along, is still waiting. We also found that FREIDA CAULK, with all her romances, has already been a widow three times. RUTH CAR- ROLL told us that she had invented a new method on how to catch a boy friend. It must have worked because she is planning her wedding to an tmdertaker soon. We learned that there has been a new high school established in Ohlman in which JULBERT MELIN has the position as coach. Julbert has recently married ROSALIE HOLMES, who is also a faculty member of that school. When I went to visit my old friend NORMA CARLOCK, I found that she was working as private secretary for RUSSELL CAR- ROLL, who is a prominent lawyer in Nokomis. He is now working on the case filed by EUGENE KOZUK against LUELLA PERRY for breach of promise. Next we went to visit KATHRINE HULBERT and her husband johnny, and saw that they own a large poultry farm on which Kathrine does all the work. While we were there, another one of our former classmates, WARREN CLAYTON, put in his appearance. Warren as just returned to Nokomis. to be the minister of the Baptist Church, and with him was his wife, the former DARLENE COLE. We were as- tonished to find DOROTHY JANSON isn't con- tented with her own six children, so she has built a nursery in Nokomis. The last one we talked to was HELEN PORENTO, who is now the secre- tary at N.T.H.S. Oh yes! I must not forget to tell you this interesting news. We could not find RAY TAFT anywhere. Nobody seemed to know where he was. I have just heard a news report over the radio which stated that he was caught today trying to take the tires off the President's car and siphon the gas. Ruth says our next tour will be around the world to get some more bits of news. We would like to tell you what it is but we can't because it is a military secret. This is your roaming re- porter signing off for now! CATHRYN and RUTH. Seqenteen
