Just as Marilyn finished reading about her old classmate Jim Mulford, she heard a scream from the nursery It seems that one of her children was beginning to get hungry After settling this difficulty she went back to her reading and found that her next classmate was Collette Pottinger Collette, during her senior year had taken a great interest in teaching and with Mr Strickfaden's consent had helped teach part of the third and fourth grades After graduating from high school, Collette entered Pres Education and cott Teachers College She received her B A in Elementary immediately started teaching in Prescott Grade School, where for four years before she was hired to replace Maude Friman, on a pension. ing he the was larilyn quite expected Collette to become a teacher but she taught who retired she hadn't quite figured out why or how Carroll Sprague ever became a preacher See his name in the annual reminded her of the happiest day of her life, day Reverend Carroll Sprague minister at Bernadine and Ed always in mischief and ready uating, he decided to change his of was to become a preacher He married her and Morriss Carroll was also Blazeks wedding In high school Carroll to do anything but work But after grad ways The only good way he could think has preached at the Prescott Methodist Church for six years While Marilyn was remmnisclnr over the happy days gone by, she happened to let the book slip from her fingers. As it dropped to the floor it opened to the page where she saw a picture of a large man holding a heavy three hundred pound weight over his head. Who could this big muscle bound man be? She couldn't think of anyone in her class that could qualify for a wrestler, so rapidly looking for a name to match the figure, she came a- cross the name and much to her amazement, saw that it was none other than Berdine Spring.
