John Beyreis and his Polka Teers have just finished a two week engagement at the Brown Derby. It has been rumored that he will be held over for another two weeks. The Westside Antique Shop owned by Charles Wenzl was robbed early this year of a very valuable set of dishes thought to have belonged to a friend of his, the Queen of Sheba. Don Poland, one of the most famous drummers of the world, is touring Mars giving concerts and holding instruction classes for all who are interested. Lately Dean Matthews had a narrow escape when he was coming down a mountain pass driving one of the semi-trailer trucks of Matthews and Sons, of which he is the owner. Bob Graham was named American Farmer recently and is still residing near Pawnee City, where he was graduated from the Pawnee High School in the class of 55. Terry Allison who kept score at the Pawnee City basketball games is now with the Harlem Globe Trotters, keeping score. No wonder they are so good. Mrs. Robert Kleopfer, the former Nancy Bloom, has turned into a Kansas sunflower and is raising her own basketball team. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Fay (Mrs. Fay’s maiden name was Carolyn McVitty) are raising the opposing basketball team for Nebraska to play against Nancy's Kansas team. Charles Albers, who got his start in the Pawnee Greenhouse, now owns his own line of green- houses, The Albers Floral Company. Ross Gifford made a fortune the last of the year by selling his body to six or seven different medical schools. He is letting them fight over it after he is through. Wayne Slemons and Harvey Hallberg now own their own taxidermist establishment, thanks to their grand start in the biology class of 1955. Jenett Klepper is taking a vacation from her strenuous life as a singer of popular songs, at her ranch in California. Bob Rice, the banker of DuBois, was seen at the Stork Club in New York. Due to his discovery of gold in the Turkey Creek bottom south of DuBois, he has become a well-known figure through- out the world. The great volleyball stars, Marjorie Johnson and Norma Jean Burns, have just returned from their trip to the Earth Volleyball Show. They have been named Champions of the Solar System. Beverly Klepper, the owner of the Cosmic Stables, is now raising horses. She has become a well- known figure in the Earth and Mars Stables of finest horses. John Bennett has become the owner of the Znazzy Gert Cars. They are modeled after the first Gert he had in 1955. He says they are selling like hotcakes. Clarence and Lowell McClintock have become the owners of a ten thousand acre ranch in Texas.

Ardise Moyer ran for president of the Society of Women League. She was chosen by a large majority. Wayne Spier is still in dear old Pawnee High. He took over Mr. Ganzel's job as F.F.A. teacher. From all reports his classes are quite interesting. Larry Newton, better known as Lawrence New to all television listeners, made his grade when a television scout saw him in the senior play in 1955. He does commercials for John Bennett's Znazzy Gert Cars. Joanne Gilmore owns a set of Fly-in theaters between Earth and Mars. She seems to have quite the business.

Your roving reporters. Helen Ann and Mary
