BILL MAHRT—Since I have received my music degree, I have moved back East. It is hard to believe that coming from a small high school band like Reardan’s, I could be the conductor of the largest symphony orchestra in New York. Last week while I was conducting at Carnegie Hall I had an unusual experience. The Queen of England asked for my autograph. Recently I found out that my name is to appear on a plaque in the Musical Hall of Fame.

SHERRYL JACOBSEN—Because I have worked so many years at the Economy Station in Airway Heights, I have decided to invest my fortune in this station. We have twenty of the most modern gas pumps. What I mean by this is that when a car drives up all the driver has to do is push the button for the type of gas he wishes. Someday when you drive by and your car needs washing come in and we will wash it free in the new electronic car washer. All you have to do is drive up and say, “car wash, please”. Before you can finish your car is sparkling clean and ready to go.

ELEANOR REMMERS—I have been married twenty years now, and my husband, Charlie Anderson still the Union station in Reardan. Since this will be twentieth anniversary in the station, we are giving an open house. We will be giving free suckers to the children, corsages to the women, and two gallons of free gas to the men. I help Charlie a lot while he waits on cars, I usually wash the car windows or fill the gas tanks, I let him do the rest. I used to help him at the end of the month with all of the bookkeeping, but now he has hired a helper from Spokane.

DICK SHERWOOD-—I guess you didn’t know that I followed you from Davenport to Reardan last Thursday afternoon, As a member of the State Patrol, I want to compliment you on your cautious driving. It is my duty to inform you, however, that on June 1 a new law goes into effect—one that surely affects you. Our super highway being what it is, the extremely slow driver is becoming a hazard. After June 1, please maintain a speed of no less than 25 miles an our. Since that is 10 miles faster than your average speed, I would suggest your having a thorough check up before that time—both for yourself and your 1948 Plymouth.

JOE SMITH—Dick and I have been talking about your car. Isn’t it time for you to purchase a new one? Why not come in to the Smith A-1 Garage at Uranium City and let me show you a Jaguar? Of course, I sell Volkswagons, too, but for a man of your build I recommend a fine car like the Jaguar. Speed is no problem. You could even outrun the Highway Patrol, something I’ve wanted to do since I was a senior in high school.

VERLA DICKEY—The one hundred dollar scholarship I won, while a senior, through all of my years of 4-H homemaking has really paid off. With my scholarship money I went on to Cheney to college where I majored in Home Economics. After graduating from E.W.C.E., I taught Home Ec. in one of the local high schools for two years. From there I became one of the Lincoln County 4-H Extension Agents, and also I am leader of the club in this district, “The Future Homemakers of Tomorrow.” These activities really keep me busy but I am enjoying every minute of it.

PHILLIP KOBERSTINE—Since the three rural schools, Warsaw, Four Mound, and Indian Prairie have consolidated with Reardan, I have taken over my father’s job as bus driver. My bus route is one of the largest because I have to pick up more children..I used to ride my dad’s bus and now I pick up my brother's children. It seems as if the Koberstines will always be associated with the Reardan Schools in one way or another. I really do hope that we weren't so lively and full of fun as these children are. I really do enjoy my job, although I spend most of the time battling with snow drifts, muddy roads, and school children.

LAVINA TRIPLETT—I am now the owner of the "Triplett’s Triple Hair Salon". Recently several students from Reardan High School came to have their hair dyed green for their school play. It brought back the memories of when I was a senior and had to have my hair dyed red for our class play. For months afterwards I still had streaks of red in my hair. Now they have come out with a new solution called “Ready Leave” which takes the color right out. I hope the seniors have as much fun with their green hair as we did when ours was red.

BOB KIRK—I have been playing tennis ever since I first came to Reardan and that was in 1957. After graduating from Reardan I went back to my old home town of Waukon. I inherited the general store that my pappy had owned. I improved the store but my heart has never really been in it. So I decided to hire a storekeeper and turn to my old hobby of tennis. I have moved to Florida where I can play all year long. I have scheduled a championship tennis match in Switzerland which will determine whether or not I will become a professional tennis player. I will write and let you know the outcome of the game.
