As you have probably read in the latest All-American reports, several of our athlete graduates have made names for themselves in the sports world, I understand that Dave McBride, an All-American, has decided to sign a profes- sional contract with the New York Giants football team, Butch Pastirik, another one of our All-Americans by unanimous selection, has decided to play baseball for the Boston Red Sox. Also, Ed Grant recently signed a contract with the Minneapolis Lakers basketball team, Last month, I was a visitor to the Chicago area and had the misfortune to be involved in a slight auto accident, My misfortune, however, led me to a visit with Bonnie Chismar, Sue Paton, and Kathy Warfield who are now Reg- istered Nurses at St, Luke's hospital in Chicago. I understand, and from a very reliable source, that Bill Elliott is now the manager of the National Tea Food store in Sueator, Also, Roger Wilhelm is now the manager of the General Telephone Company of Illinois. Several of our boys departed to serve their good old Uncle Sam after graduation. Word has it that Gene Pastirik is making the navy his career and will soon take over as commander of one of the new atomic submarines, John Stansbury's plans were to join the army and avoid women, but word from Alice leaves one to believe that Gert had something to say about John's avoiding women, Tom Centko, who now owns his own construction company in Streator, has just finished the construction of a new gas station for Ken North, It seems that Ken has quite a chain of gas stations situated in the state of Illinois, Jim Pshak seems to have surpassed his ambition of becoming a bookkeeper, for now he is a Certified Public Accountant and audits many books for the large industrial plants, Rich Renner seems to have a permanent position at the University of Illinois. Rich was an excellent student while attending the universityg and university officials begged him to stay on as a professor. Sandra Brown is now one of the more prominent teachers in the eastern part of the United States. In a recent letter from Sandra, she informed me that Dave Graham is now the minister of the Park Methodist Church in New York City. Whether you know it or not, some of the new designs in the current General Motors cars were accomplished by Jim Dovin, who is now an expert engineer in Detroit, Well, Mr. Pierce, I guess that about does it, I hope you found my letter interestingg as trying to keep track of 37 graduates can sometimes present a big problem. Sincerely yours. Beverly Decker
