lunch soon and we could wait if we wished to. At 1:23 Mr. Jacobs returned and asked us into this office. He was more than willing to give us all the help he could. He told us that as far as the robbery was concerned there wasn't much to tell. He was able to give us more clues and a few names of people that we might look up. There had been graduation exercises that night and the main speaker, Mr. Kaiser, a professor from the University of Wisconsin, was leaving the building at the time the robber entered, at least as near as he could figure out. Jo looked at me and said, That's one way of getting into the building without being noticed. She'd sure put her thumb on a fact there. Mr. Jacobs handed me a card with the saying, Why walk around half dead when we can bury you for only S49.50. As I took the card I noticed the name of a funeral home on it. Worrells, The Last Stop. This figured. We made one last stop before heading back to headquarters. This was at the station lab. I gave the technician Miss Pat Kaskin the card and told her to get the finger prints from it and any other evidence she could find out that might be of some help. Back at headquarters I asked Lieutenant Schilz if anyone had checked at the school. He said, Yes, and it sure was a clever robbery. No evidence what- soeverf' He told Jo and I both to go home and sleep on the subject and if anything turned up he'd let us know. On my way home I stopped at a new bakery by the name of Wendys Goody Shop, that had been built just recently by, Schick's Construction Company and the interior had been decorated by a famous woman by the name of Beverly Raschf' The place had been there only a month and all ready it was known nation-wide. I did my best to relax that night by watching the Braves game and then a murder mystery, The Braves won, naturally. With Ed Skora for their manager how could they go wrong. At 8:02 I checked into the office the next day and Liuetenant Schilz said nothing had turned up. Then I met Jo on the corner of 56th street. I told her I had a hunch, just a hunch, but it was worth following. It was 9:15 when we walked past a bar at the corner of 22nd and Holsten avenue. I told Jo that I had heard that a group of gangsters could be found at the place and as long as we were in the neighborhood we might just as well kill two birds with one stone. The owners name was, Mousy Mueller and as I approached him he looked around quickly giving me the impression that he was look- ing for someone. I also noticed as I talked to him he was a little fidgedy. This whole place looked like a fake to me and I had a hunch about the place, just a hunch. I went back to headquarters and asked the up 7 Lieutenant if it would be possible to have a couple of plain clothesmen case the joint. He agreed and then called Sandra Meehan and Elaine Brady into his office and then turned them over to me. I gave them the facts, just he facts, straight facts. They shook their heads and left. They knew what I wanted and they Weren't going to waste any time in getting it. At 10:15 the office boy brought in the lab report and the morning newspaper. The Rosell Gazette, edited by my close friend Rosella Schafff' She'd covered a lot of my stories since I became a Ser- geant. Glancing at the paper the headline caught my attention, WEAVER INCITES RIOTY' I was about to read on a little further when Jo came back with some coffee. I asked her if she had heard any- thing about the riot and she said that Miss Wea- ver had caused the riot by getting people all en- thused about women running for President. 'fYou know how it is, Sergeant Dicklin. The men can't see it and the women are fighting for the privilege. Just one constant riot. Just as I began laughing the door burst open and Sandra and Elaine came in. They had the facts all right, just the facts, straight facts, nothing but the facts. What they knew Was enough to con- vict anyone. They had discovered that Mousy Mueller was carrying on illegal gambling and that he was using the bar as a cover up. They also knew that he was wanted in two states for the same crime. During the time they had been there they had noticed a fel- low come up and talk to Mueller in a low voice and as he left they heard Mueller say, Nice work, Chas. This guy was behind the whole works. He was the brains of the gang and Douglas Mathews was the play-boy. One more thing Sergeant. Yes, what is it? If you're wondering why Miss Judy Kleeb didn't tell any more and seemed anxious to tell what she knew it's because she was being blackmailed by a guy by the name of 'Dave Faerberf The cops are on their way to pick him up now. I told Sandra and Elaine they had done a good job and it might possibly get them a promotion. This was the story just as it happened. In a moment the results of the trial. Trial was held in the Municipal Court of said County at the county courthou-se, on the 5th day of May, 1967, at 10:00 o'clock in the forenoon. The judge presiding the court was Agnes Kracmer, with Joan Glade as the lawyer for the defendant and Dick Timmer the attorney for prosecution. The jury consisted of: Sandra Davis-A famous New York model. Wayne Larsen-A dentist from California. Ralph Kerkman-A noted pilot for T.W.A. Dick Bruenning-A National President of the Y.M.C.A. His opinion is that the younger gener- ation is going to the dogs. Page Twenty-six

The Senior class of 1957 has finally and with regrets finished their last year at good old Wilmot High. When they signed in as Freshmen they were called the freshies of '57, but these four years have passed too quickly. This year has been a busy one for all the Seniors. At our first class meeting we elected officers with Miss Gulan presiding until Dick Timmer was re- elected President. Joan Glade was elected Vice- President. Susan Rausch as Secretary, and Jo Ann Posch as Treasurer. Charlie Mathews was elected to represent our class at student council. For our homecoming we elected Ed Skora who chose Kathy Hauri to be our attendants in the court with King Jerry Schlitz and his Queen. Everyone who attended the Senior Formal on IDR December 29, thoroughly enjoyed dancing to Joe Petrini's music under a sunset in the mountains to carry out the theme of Canadian Sunset. Our own class advisor, Miss Gulan, directed our Senior class play and we wish to thank her for making The Little Dog That Laughed, the success it was. The play was presented April 5th to a very impressed audience. As the days at Wilmot draw to a close we wait with anticipation for the Senior Banquet which is in the planning, and the great day of Graduation itself. We wish to say a sincere thank you to Mr. Schnurr, all the teachers we have had, and last but not least to our class advisor, Miss Gulan. We also would like to wish a good luck to all the Seniors to be. Page Twenty-eight
