'PtafiAeccf Mrs. Helen Musgraves McRoberts and Mrs. Betty Boyer Lenney who both had a head start on their ca- reer before school was out, now too have a head start on raising little papooses. Helen and Wendy have an even dozen and Betty and Roger slowly catching up with nine. Jim Taylor made his first million within two weeks after school was out. To this day no one has found out how. He had better be thinking about making his second million fast because Mrs. James Taylor, the former Nancy Warnick, is spending it faster than Jim can make it. The run-away marriage of Jackie Schweitzer and Harold Holmes in November of 1953fell through during the summer of '54. Jackie's taste was too rich for Harold so she sued for divorce and married one of Uncle Sam's millionaires and has now taken over Washington D.C. Harold continued playing pro-base- ball for the Warrensburg major league team and became a multi-millionaire. Roger Flach, now heavy-weight champion wrestler tried a Full Nelson on his wife, the former Pat Anderson, to keep her home one night but was hospitalized when she turned the tables on him with a wonderful arm-breaker. Something he didn't know was she had been taking jiu-jit-su. Don Smith is now testing jet planes for the U.S. Air Force. He broke the world's speed record of the air but was arrested for speeding by policeman, Jim Williams, who pilots a jet police crusier. Charles Batchelder who owns a small farm outside of Warrensburg, has equipped it with a new jet trac- tor. He now has the problem of stopping at the ends of his fields before plowing the next-door neighbor's too. Mr. Bill Mooney was discovered by 20th Century Fox producer, Don Sarver, one day while plowing one of Charle's fields along the highway. Bill can now be seen in the hit movie Back Home on the Farm.” Miss Donna Williams and Miss Margie Streight are still touring the world entertaining the servicemen. They still live by the motto they set years ago, variety is the spice of life.” The feudin' between the former Pat McClure and Dick Pullins in their Senior History Class developed into love and marriage. Mrs. Pullins finally won fame by being sole owner of the only atomic mousetrap plant in the world and her penny-pinching husband, who never did solve the puzzle of putting pipes to- gether, is trying to live off her name and money. Mr. Holmes Scheck has become the top engineer of this country and has just finished his construction of what he calls The By-pass of United States. It is a deluxe highway, built 5,000 feet in the air, that runs from New York to San Francisco, by-passing everything in between. Miss Nancy Hanes now Home Economics teacher at W.L.H.S. still finds ithard to make the kids under- stand the subject. Now she knows why her former teacher always felt like pulling her hair out. Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Williams, the former Nancy Scheibly, are still wearing their crowns of Mr. and Mrs. Universe, being undefeated for ten years. After being crowned king and queen of the Hornhonkers during their Senior year at high school, they rose straight to stardom. Their publicity agent decided it would be best for their careers to be married, but to this day they have done nothing except fight. Be- tween the two of them, they own 52 pure-bred dogs. They have hired special veterinarians to travel with them on their tours; Johnny hired Jane Herr, who is a great understander of dogs and lonely men, and Nancy hired Keith Totton, who will stop at nothing to show Jane that he, too, loves her. Nancy has fallen for Keith, but can Mr. and Mrs. Williams' career withstand a split-up? Mr. Jack Keller, widely-known designer, of Ding-Dong Hats for Women, has an hour T.V. program of his own on station I.O.U., Channel 1, Warrensburg, Illinois. He just hired a new model, Miss Janet Lehn, who doesn't mind wearing the Weird creations of Mr. Keller. Miss Olive McNeely, world's fastest shorthand writer, is now private secretary to the first woman pre- sident of the United States--Miss Sharilyn Gehrken. Miss McNeely says she takes 500 words a minute and takes about 100 letters a day from Pres. Gehrken. They are all to servicemen of the U.S. Pres. Gehrken has informed the U.S. that the first wonderful thing she will do as president is to bring all of the ser- vicemen home from overseas to her--or rather to THEIR loved ones. Earline Hamilton, who is now married, is living in the first completely plastic house ever built. This house was designed by Mary Lou Buckley for the benefit of nosey neighbors. Miss Janice Burdine, who spent all her savings to go to England, then didn't have any money to come home with, stayed there and became the dress designer and tailor for the Royal Family of England. She has made more than a fortune, but is now afraid to come back to the U.S. because 3 4 of it would be taken away for income taxes. Charles Nottingham, who isnow one of Godfrey's friends on his T.V. program, is still climbing higher to stardom. He asked Godfrey for a raise the other day, and he is now singing, Be Thankful You're Alive. Norman Brumett is back on the midget track again after being laid up in the hospital for two weeks under the full care of head-nurse, Pat Albert. Seems as though Norman was driving in the Championship race at Indianapolis when Miss America, Miss Mary Hildabrand, rose from her seat in the announcer's booth to cheer for him, after recognizing him as a former classmate. Seeing this American beauty. Nor- man lost control of his midget and plunged into the side wall of the track. A romance has bloomed be- tween the two now. 21
