L Fa 2 The mood 1005 celebration It was a good year for the mood ring fad which came on in the fall. Blue in the stone signified tranquility, and 1975-76 was a year of tranquil celebration. Some of the Bicen- tennial anniversary pro- jects may have been less than inspiring, but when the actual birthday ar- rived, it seemed that even the cynical were peacefully affected by e pluribus unum.

With the help of the school administration, the pa- per was sent to a profes- sional printer from Febru- ary till May, and cover- age was extended to all Hobart T ownship Schools. The yearbook staff, committed to improving quality, ran into dead- line problems. Faced with a choice between making the 1976 book better and distri- buting it at the usual time, they decided that most subscribers would prefer quality. The creative writing class produced material for a literary magazine. Unable to publish sepa- rately, they allowed the material to be used in the yearbook. send to the TRIBUNE.

These classes were in- tended to give students credit for a subject not taken during regular term. Even though students sweated out their summer weekdays in school, most felt it was worthwi le. Instead of having to take a course one hour a day for nine months they took a sub- ject two or four hours a day for nine weeks. Classes were held from 8:00 to 9:50, and from 10:10 to 12:00 a.m. Sum- mer school started on June 11 and ended August 8. Judy Zanzig 18 It all adds up In math Mr. Hall and class seek instructions. Maria Mendez and Mr. Willing share a few pointers. Studying planes, working multiplication problems, and learning theorems were part of the excitement in the math department. Mathematics at River Forest is required at least one year, even though many students took math more than once in order to prepare them- selves for a career or college.

A few of the high points were Randy Wag- oner ' s pole vaulting, Mark Broda ' s long jump- ing, Steve Orto ' s mile, Barry Rheinholtz ' s two mile, and Juan Espino- sa ' s dashing ability. The others who put in some winning events were Steve and Mike Knox, Al Strimbu, Mark Porlier, Aaron Garner, Jay Krill, and Jerry Tharp. Mark Porlier 56 Mark Porlier up and over Mike Cooper leads on.

J. V. baseball served to prepare underclassmen for varsity play. Mr. Id- zior had 1 2 players to work with and all of them improved over the season. This year ' s big prob- lem was pitching. A couple of games were lost by careless relief pitch- ing. However, the hitting was there and that ' s what it ' s all about. Mr. Baker is looking forward to receiving most of the boys for the varsity next year. Jeff Pendleton, above mit, smiles. 58 Varsity Baseball team FRONT ROW- Dewey Tabla, Garry Dobson, Randy Dobson, Perry Gamble, Karl Kurek, Karl Apostoloff, Coach Baker, Greg Flores, Joe Hershman, Jaime Estill, Ed Mullins, Bob Henke, Garry Moore, Ron Gibson.

Main players on the club were Ron Gib- son and Dewey Tabla: pitchers, and Joe Hershman, Ed Mullins, and Carl Apostoloff supplied the power. Coach Baker looks forward to the return of such players as Garry Dobson and Julio DelValle. Garry Dobson GAA offers run fun The Girls ' Athletic Association (GAA) was held every Monday after school and was sponsored by Miss Mellon. The girls had fun and went to Ponderosaon their annual outing. Among other things, they played badminton, volleyball, and basket- ball. They jumped on the trampoline, went bowl- ing, and paddled some ping pong. Everyone who came out enjoyed GAA, and the girls hoped it would be continued for years to come. Linda Shepherd springs off the trampoline while her assistants, Ursula Sobas, Cheryl Bauske, and Mrs. Mellon stand by for help. 60 The intramural season was mostly a battle of two teams, the L i 1 1 Rascals found themselves on top with a record of 16-0. The teams battled hard all year but the Ras- cals whipped the Studs three times to claim the championship. Outstanding players this year were the Wag- oner brothers, Jerry and Randy, Jake Rosado, Ju- lio DelValle, Stan Turn- er, Mike Knox, Rick Hartman, Don Lightfoot, Mike Cotton, and Pedro Martinez. Phil Reed ' s Travel- ing Circus was the high- light of the year and Jug- glin ' John Karageorge was the top ballhandler. I ntramural s was spon- sored by Mr. Baker. 61 Pom Pon squad dance through season Cheerleaders and pom pon girls do their thing on the floor. The pom pon squad did an excellent job.

Nobody had yet arrived at River Forest School except one unicorn. The unicorn was wandering around the court to wait for all of the kids to arrive because the kids believed in him and he loved the kids. Ten kids were walking toward the school with large bundles of clover to feed to the unicorn when a zooming car went past them. The kids could see that it was the assistant principal, Mr. Tippett. The car then slowed down and backed up to the kids. What are you kids doing walking down to the school so early with that clover? asked Mr. Tippett. To feed the unicorn. The ten little voices said. What? Why a unicorn is just a myth. I ' ll bet some high school kid told you that there was a unicorn at the school. All of the little heads nodded. Well you just go on home because there is no unicorn, and it is too early for you to be out. Bye-bye. said Mr. Tippett. And the car went in the direction of the school. All of a sudden a crash was heard for miles around. It ' s all right; all you have is a blackened eye. said a blue-uniformed man. But what happeded? Mr. Tippett asked. You had a car wreck, do you remember? asked the man. Yes, yes, a unicorn, I saw a unicorn, and tried not to hit it. said Mr. Tippett. The man in the blue uniform grabbed his arm and said, Call an ambulance; he is worse off than I thought. Mad Censor by J im Shelton At the NBC television studios in Burbank, California, there are some great shows. The Tonight Show where Johnny Carson and his band of Merry- men (Ed McMahon, Doc Severinson, and Tommy Newsom) bring out guests from many walks of life to talk and make jokes originates here. Jack Albertson and Freddie Prinze are right across the hall. They are the stars of the hit comedy series, Chico and the Man. You can find even Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson, when they are not working on their own comedy series, Sanford and Son. Other great shows and even people not working on a show there can be found dropping in between shots of their latest movies. Of all the people who work in that giant complex, one man is hated and disliked and feared more than any other. He ' s the one responsible for all the beeps we hear on TV shows. The thankless job of blipping out bad language has become an everyday routine to him. What does this man get in return for doing his job? A pie in the face, snide remarks as he passes by, mace on his chair in the morning. This is what the censor has to put up with everyday. Let ' s give this man an equal chance. Let him speak his piece. Go ahead. I ' d just like to thank that BEEP Charlie for the BEEP BEEPIN mace he poured all over the BEEPIN chair! And Sid, if you think that BEEP of a BEEPIN pie was funny you ' re crazy! One last thing to the girl that sells coffee in the lounge, I think you ' re a BEEP, too! by Diane Malek After you eat a lot, you vow never to eat again unless you ' re starved, and promise to never eat too much, ever again. The morning after, you search for your old jeans and your loosest top. You don ' t want to go to school because you don ' t feel good. When third hour comes, you feel faint because you couldn ' t bear to eat breakfast. But you skip lunch and make it to sixth hour where your stomach grumbles for food and you get really embarrassed. You can barely walk home from school because you ' re weak from hunger. After raiding the refrigerator at home, you vow never to eat again unless you ' re starved . . . Jack, the Bean Stalker by Liz Bruns On Friday April 2, a child who calls himself Jack, was charged with the murder of a local biggie, the giant with the goose that lays golden eggs. Jack, who claims to have am- nesia, says the giant stole the famous goose from his mother a few years back. He also claims to have grown a beanstalk that reached the g iant ' s mansion which he broke into to steal the goose. Jack says also he freed a fairy princess who was captured and made to sing by the giant. The princess has a different version. She insists she is the giant ' s daughter, and as she was taking her weekly singing lessons, she was kidnapped by the boy. As he was escaping, the giant set out after him. When Jack got off the stalk, he chopped it down with a hatchet. The giant fell to his death where Jack was apprehended and charged with murder, kidnapping, theft, and growing a beanstalk without a license. 108 Hum T Dumb T by Gerald Hauprich Humpty Dumpty was always a pretty neat egg. He was born in a tough section of Omletteville. Early in his life, he became assoc- iated with the syndicate. By the time he was twenty-eight, he was the third most powerful egg in the syndicate. But Humpty was too ambitious. Everyone knew how he had risen so quickly in rank in the syndicate. Every time Humpty wanted a promotion, he bumped off his superior. Poach, the second most powerful egg in the organization, did not want to become one of Humpty ' s ex- bosses. He planned to get Humpty before Humpty got him. Poach put out a contract on Hum- pty. Humpty did the same on Poach. Nothing happened for a few months until Poach ' s goons spotted Humpty walking on the roof of the town skyscraper. Humpty was in- specting this rooftop as a possible vantage point for a sharp-shooter. Poach ' s goons surprised Humpty and pushed him off the building. Humpty suffered a fatal concussion. His brains had been totally scrambled. The powerful struggle was over. Moral: It is much easier to have your eggs scrambled than poached. Death Valley by Steve Rivera The feeling of terror first hit me when I found out that the greens I had eaten were not dandelions, but a deadly plant. The plant was quick and painful. I could feel my stomach rotting, and then sharp pain was climbing up my throat into my head. My stomach rejected the feeling. A great cud of the greens passed from my mouth. My mother grabbed me with a worried look. I thought to myself, only 25 minutes to live. My mother ' s look changed from worried to disgusted, and she said, You shouldn ' t have eaten those peanut butter and mayonaise sandwiches. T fie Rinoi B I ow by Jim Shelton In the small town of Cornville, a young boy and his faithful dog. Chips, were going to their favorite fishing spot. As they reached their destination, the boy thought how lucky he was to have a great dog like Chips. For three years straight. Chips had won the Cornville Regional Dog Obedience Contest. The boy figured that this year would be Chips ' final contest. He was going to withdraw the dog from competition. But the boy knew that he would have to plan a great final trick for the last performance. He saw Chip trying to chase a squirrel up a tree and got an idea for a fantastic feat. Chips could perch on something like a tree limb and dive into a pool of water! Feeling a great compulsion to try the stunt, the boy put Chip on a tree limb, then made his arms into a hoop. He said, Dive, Chips. Chips tensed up and lunged through his master ' s arms. The boy was overjoyed! He cried, Chips! We did it, Boy! Chips! Chips? Then he remembered. Chips could not swim. The Face by Kevin McClaskey The face peering through my window seemed disturbingly familiar. Although it was nearly pitch black in my bedroom, the window, situated directly across from my near slumbering body, was alive with lights, and it camouflaged the forbidding face which concentrated on me. I sprang for the light switch. Naturally, the prowler was gone when the room lit up. Who, in his right mind, would stick around to get 60 watts thrown on his face? Certainly not this witty fellow who ' d quickly disappeared and was no doubt down by the corner now. I began to remember that my dad had told me the only thing a burglar is more afraid of than a gun, is having his face seen in the light! But then it struck me. I knew I ' d seen that kisser before. Even though it was dark, and his features were distorted by the glass, I was sure I ' d beheld that face sometime in the past. It came to me — Uncle Harry. He ' d said he ' d be up sometime this week. He probably hadn ' t been able to get in, had come to the window to wake me up, and when I threw on the lights he ' d thought he ' d come to the wrong house. Poor old Harry. Might have scared him to death. I lay back on the bed and waited for Harry to return. I peered into the window again, and as I expected I saw the face back at it ' s original spot. The I noticed that the face contained a mustache. Why, Uncle Harry never sported a mustache in his life. The only ones in the family who had them were my pop, my brother Dan . . . and I. Of course! Why the bed was sitting right where my reflection would stareback at me. Oh, brother! I became amused. I walked up to the window, and the face came closer. I began to pantomine. First, my brilliant one of a kind, all 36 teeth grin. I grinned back. Great! I gave myself a peace sign. I received two fingers back. Fantastic! Magnificent talent. Then I did my often imitated, never duplicated, Humphrey Bogar t stare. My reflection drew a gun. 109 MANHOLE by Diane Malek It all began when I heard the voices from the manhole. Lift it! Hurry! We ' ll drown. Was I the only one who heard it? I looked around the circle and noticed that everyone was busy writing. No one else heard anything so I sneaked a look inside. I saw nothing. Then I heard a different voice say, Someone ' s out there — look! And then, Mrs. Strange looked at me strangely. I said nothing about it to anyone, but I came back later and peered inside of the manhole. Two little men looked up at me and said, Hi. I had a casual conversation with them, then asked them if they wanted to come out. Yeah! they cried. So I climbed down and brought them out, and they ' ve been with me ever since. See, Doctor, they ' re right here, Don ' t you believe me? O uitting T me by Liz Bruns I was just putting on my insul- ated balloon jacket when the phone rang. I quickly picked up my purse and was heading toward the door to start my journey home. With the phone still ringing, I put my hand on the door knob and jumped back as it started to turn with no help from me. As I stood there in front of the door with my face looking like a clean, white sheet, my boss walked in and said in a clearly agitated voice, Are you going to answer the phone, or do I have to find a replacement to answer it for you? The fearful look on my face was replaced by a look of aston- ishment as the person on the other end of the line said There is a bomb concealed in the apple on your desk. It ' s set to go off in five seconds. Tension by Angie Stover I ' ve been sitting here waiting for almost an hour now. I can ' t wait any longer. The pains are getting closer and harder. Ma ' am, I ' m in a lot of pain. Can you help me? You ' ll just have to wait a few minutes longer, lady. I sit down waiting nervously. She says Right this way. Ma ' am. The pain is so bad I can hardly see to walk. She helps me into the room. The pain is unbareable, sweat is just rolling off my face. I feel the pinch of a needle. I am out like a light. When I woke, I felt faint. I knew it was all over when the doctor handed me my first pulled tooth. The Warm Up by Sharon Coots When I was ten years old, I visited my father ' s ice cream factory and wandered into the walk-in freezer. Accidentally, somebody closed the door. What should I do? Why hadn ' t he looked to see if anyone was inside? Well, there was no use in standing there, so I made myself comfortable. Later, I realized I was freezing to death. I knew because I was falling asleep. Suddenly I was burning up. by Donna Vaughan I had a bottle of Prell shampoo and I had to wash my hair in a hurry. I went to the bathtub and got my hair wet and poured the shampoo in. All of a sudden, my dad yelled, Donna! I put my car wax in a shampoo bottle. Will you bring it here? I rinsed my hair as fast as I could, but it started getting out of hand. I put some hot water on and rinsed again . That day, I had the shiniest hair around. 110 W n t Ad by Jim Shelton Bill Morton looked at the want ads. He was interested in finding another job. His present vocation at Burny ' s Burger Palace didn ' t suit his somewhat higher intellect. Ah! What have we here? The oay looks good. Says here there ' s a good chance for promotion. The job calls for a gourmet cook, too. This sounds perfect. I think I ' ll give the place a call when I get home tonight. A few hours later . . . Well, at least it ' s ringing. . . . Yes, I called in answer to the ad you put into today ' s paper. Bill hung up the phone about 47 seconds afterwards. It ' s odd, he thought, that I didn ' t see the help wanted sign when I left work today. The Strike by Phil Reed A smoke filled room is the scene. A tall black man with a mustache leads a discussion. We strike in less than 24 hours, I hope you all have everything straight. Frank, you will go in first. Then Joe and I will strike next, one right after the other. We can ' t spare Bill at this stage of the game. We have to go through with it. You know how much this means. Now I hope you guys know that the odds are stacked up against us. If the police hook us, it will mean humiliation. I expect you guys to get a lot of sleep before we pull this job off. If you are tired, it will handicap us in our efforts. 0 K, that ' s it. Any questions? Yeah! If we pull this off, do you think we ' ll bowl in the finals? by Desi Karas Men, When will I be like them? Pretty soon I hope, cus right now I ' m ten. It ' s summer. What a bummer. Especially when it ' s hot. I got A job is what it is. Selling ice cream for my father. He owns it; it ' s his. A door; it ' s open. Should I go in? I wonder what I ' d find, maybe a mind. Wow! it sure is cold. I must be getting old. SLAM. Narrow Escape by Gerald Hauprich Once, in the golden era of vaga- bounds there was a certain man whose ambition was to travel from New York to Los Angeles. His name isn ' t really important. During his journey the hobo hopped freights to get from town to town. On one particular night, a night in which trains seemed to be non-existant, the hobo had walked onto the center of a very long train bridge. The world was pitch black. All of a sudden the light from a train seemed to be upon him. His only chance was to hang over the outside railing of the bridge until the train had passed. The train was a long one, a very long one. Countless minutes went by before the train was gone. The hobo tried to pull himself over the railing. He couldn ' t. The hobo hung on for hours. Finally he could take no more. He said his prayers and got ready to let go. At this time, a feint ray of light shone from the sky. The hobo looked to see what kind of horror awaited him. What he saw nearly gave him a heart attack. Below him lay a three foot drop. Mr. Happiness by Diane Malek You ask me why I ' ve been so happy lately? Well, I ' ll tell you. Waitress, another cup of coffee, please. It happened last Thursday night when I was ' tossing and turning in bed and trying to fall asleep. I was thinking about getting up the next morning and going to school . . . then coming home and going back to work . . . and I was thinking about my complexion and my hair . . . and why I was so unhappy when I should be so happy . . . and then HE appeared. He wasn ' t a man, really, more of a spirit. He was dressed in blue jeans and a shirt. He had a mustache and a short beard, and he was in his middle 20 ' s. I got scared and started to scream when he said — Don ' t be afraid. I ' m here to help you. My name is Mr. Happiness. I ' ve been watching you lately, and you seem to be opposing me. When you should be doing things that make you happy, you do just the opposite. You force yourself to be unhappy. I do not, I said. I try to be happy. But all these things keep happening to me and . Like your arguments with your parents? Like going to school and work with a negative attitude? Like waking up grouchy? Well, yes. I . How many of those things do you think you can change by yourself? Just think awhile. It ' s not unusual for someone to do this, he continued. But I chose to come to you because I know you have the power to change yourself. I have to go now. But just think about it. See you soon, I hope. Then he winked at me and was gone. Afterwards I thought about it for a long time. And I understand what he was saying. It ' s true. Not only I, but everyone has the power within himself to change and be happy. Happiness comes from the inside. If you ' re happy with yourself, you ' ll keep yourself that way. And then all those bad things that happen to you won ' t seem so ' bad ' after all. Fire Drill by Robin Mills I was going to my fifth hour class when the thunder began to roar. It was right after lunch, and my friend turned on a radio. The weather bulletin was: A severe thunder storm watch is in effect for Lake County, Indiana, and northern Illinois until 6:00 p.m. Nearly everyone laughed and made fun of the announcement. One girl said, I want my mommy! and laughed. I didn ' t think it was funny. Infifth hour, we were supposed to read. I started wondering what would happen if lightning struck the school, and I asked the teacher. She said it might start a fire. Suddenly, bong, bong, bong went the fire alarm. Man what a bummer. We always have fire drills They ' re so stupid. shouted one of the students. I felt like hitting him, but this was no time to start a fight. I saw the smoke. Someone saw me running and asked me if I was afraid I ' d burn and laughed; apparently he didn ' t see the fire . I was safe. I looked for my friend. She was trapped inside where the fire was. A bunch of students said I ain ' t staying out in the rain. They ran in. I tried to stop them but they wouldn ' t listen. On the way home, six ambulances passed me. I knew it was because of the fire. I could see the school, and it was all in a blaze. Six hours later, the radio announced-56 killed and 342 hospitalized in school fire. Ill by Angie Stover This can ' t be true. I ' m very much alive yet I feel dead. A part of me has died I can feel it. A part of me that used to be warm, tender, and soft, now feels cold, cruel, and hard. The day after the accident, I sat at home thinking. Now I knew that he was really dead and gone. There was nothing I could do but think and cry. I can ' t quite put my finger on where all the pain is. by Kelly Holder Johnny said “Hi to Herman, but Herman didn ' t respond. Herman and Johnny had been playing in Herman ' s swimming pool, and all of a sudden, Johnny saw Herman start sleeping in the pool. Johnny got out of the pool and told Herman ' s mother. Two men came over to Herman ' s house. They started putting a thing over Herman ' s mouth that Johnny thought looked like a big shell. The y they started hitting Herman in the chest. Johnny started hitting the men because they were hurting Herman, but the men said they would no longer hit Herman at all. The men put Herman, on a bed that had wheels on it and they put a sheet over him; then they put him in a station-wagon and drove away. Johnny wondered where Herman was going, but he thought since his mother let the men do it, it was all right. Kauiasahi Summer by Kevin McClaskey I sat with my gym bag on my desk and a trickle of sweat flowing down my temple. I looked around the school room at the various faces. Some were sad to be leaving this school, others fearful of what the changing world had in store for them, but I had only great expectations to look forward to. It was 9:55, and, in 5 minutes, a bell would ring releasing me into an experience I had sensed only in my wildest fantasies. For me, this was The summer, the one when I ' d get out my Kawa- saki and go for a ride. A ride where I could go to California to see my grandfolks or down to Florida to view my cousins or just buzz around and never see anyone, I didn ' t want to see. It would be a ride of grand enchantment and the best part was, I had all the time in the world to do it. For two long years, I ' d been working for this. Two long years at a Shell station would provide my expenses. Sure, the bike and in- surance took a large chunk out of it, but I had an even larger chunk to fit in to my worn, brown wallet. I ' d spent many a study period looking over camp sites charted on maps. I ' d learned the best roads on which to travel and even a safe method of predicting the weather 80% of the time. I was all set, and, in one minute, that glorious bell would clang and I ' d be off towards home to pick up my duds and say good-bye for the summer. I was as fearful as a rabbit, as shy as a puppy, and as happy as a lark, all in the same moment. Then it happened. That harmonious singing of the last school bell I ' d ever have to listen to. While everyone else was jumping up and down and slapping each other on the back, I was sprinting out the door and onto the parking lot. As I set my gym bag on the seat I kinda felt my eyes watering. I finally was my own man. Free to roam the world and take what ever part of it I wanted. And right at this moment, I wanted it all. I got on to my bike, waved farewell to a grinning Harry Madison and kicked over the engine. I was riding into a dream come true. c by Dave Carter I was hunting in the middle of Africa for a deer when I came across a pool of blood. In it, was a piece of a leg. I kept going on until I found another piece of a body. It looked like the work of a tiger. The tiger is the most feared animal in the jungle. This one seemed to be a mean one. Well, I camped just a couple of yards from the river, and, when it was dark, I built a large fire to keep the tiger away. I was in my tent when I heard a noise. Waiting, not daring to go outside, all of a sudden, I saw the tent start to shake. I could see claws and the teeth of the tiger through the tent. I got my gun and shot at it. Then I went outside. I must have missed because there was no blood out there. The next day came. I went looking for the tiger, and I discovered half a body torn from the waist down. Blood and intestines were hanging from the tree. Then I saw the tiger. It was fifty feet in front of me and was approaching. I could see its teeth and the saliva. It leaped at me with its claws pointing outward and its mouth opened. It landed on top of me knocking me to the ground. Then, two inches from my face, it licked me on the cheek. 112 by Gerald Hauprich Willie Boskavich is your ordinary South African diamond miner man. He works for a tyrant boss, his family is poverty stricken, and so, Willie is greedy. It seems that while Willie was mining away from the rest of the crew one day, he came across a rather large diamond. Upon unearthing this diamond, Willie gasped. The diamond was the largest he had ever seen. Willie promptly tucked the stone into his shirt and took off from work. He went home, and after a while of figuring he made out the value of the diamond to be 50 million dollars. Willie never went back to work. He told off his boss and decided to vastly improve his living standard. Willie held onto the diamond for awhile, and he charged everything he wanted. He mortgaged a home, charged furniture, a car, and even an entire new wardrobe for his family. When Willie ' s first bills arrived, he decided that it was time to cash in on his diamond. He made an appointment with a local fence. When Willie arrived in Lucky Louie Magee ' s office he put the diamond on a table. Lucky Louie looked at it in amazement for a few seconds. He toned down and said, Is this a joke? What do I want with a piece of volcanic glass? Willie ' s teeth hit the floor. Louie said something about forty dollars and Willie accepted it. The next thing Willie remembered was walking into a bar. He didn ' t know how long he had been wandering. Willie picked up a paper to read the headlines. They read, Louie MaGee Finds Diamond Worth 50 Million! Re mbu rs of Rep ace o v bo m by Diane Malek Tim Matthews sat faithfully in his chair watching the clock hands slowly turn. He was in geometry class and his teacher, Miss Sordol, was reciting theorems and postulates in a dull monotone. Tim studied the clock anxiously. It was only an object, yet it represented time, something precious to every- one. A loud noise startled him. It was a fly. It sat down on his desk and stared at him. Then it circled around the room twice, did a double loop, and landed on Susan Fern ' s desk. He glanced up to the ceiling. He had never really noticed all the holes in the ceiling. There must be thousands . . . He began to count. One, two, three ... six hundred eighty-one, six hundred eighty-two . . . There really was something to this counting he decided as he continued. The rhythm was so re- laxing, Almost like meditation. Then he realized that he had stopped counting and couldn ' t find the hole he had stopped on. by Diane Malek 78 Dovers Place Foreton, Iowa 60518 Horton Manufacturing Company 708 Lincoln Street Averville, CA 48636 Dear Sirs: I bought a Housewife ' s Helper on April 30, 1976.

However, yesterday my husband happened to walk by while it was vacuuming and he got sucked up into it. I ' ve looked inside it twice already and haven ' t been able to find a trace of him yet.
