As I was driving down the great metrocolis of Hoxie, I met Viola Ploeger Scott, who just returned from Colorado Springs, with her two sets of twins and ragged husband. Donna Lee Currier has a profession of teaching Physical Education under the professorship of her husband Junior Lacey at our dear old Alma Mater.

Lirlp Sample has taken over Monty Dillon's scrap iron business. Shirley Coffman has a part time Job as editor for the Hoxie Sen- tinel and keeping house for her husband Kenny Kahle. As I was walking around I saw Lloyd Adams and Gerald Karnes having a very heated conversation. They were discussing The latest thing in milk cows, and Do you think the crops will be good this year? Pat Jennings has set up housekeeping in a fox hole as she can't con- vert Darrel Follis back to civilian life.

I ran into Barbara Bange and Elta Detjen who now own the 3 D Chain Stores, they were still unmarried but were still hoping sone handsome man would pop the question. And there stood Monty Smith talking and raving like a made-man. After listening to his speech, I gathered that he was running for Con- gress. After Monty's speech it was announced that the Governor of Kan- sas was to speak and who should walk across the stage, but the distin guished Dennis Slaven, who after standing there for five minutes dis- covered he had forgotten his notes.
