JRotary jNeivg At the first«meeting of the new year, Carl Grant went back iritd history and gave an excellent talk on the last day of Abraham Lincoln's life. He re- - viewed the book, "The Day Lincoln Was Shot," by Jim Bishop. fa The way carl brought it out, one could see himself living through th&t fatal day in our cduntry's history. Thanks again, Carl, for your excellent program. The boys prestfrit'certainly appreciated the service and food they had at the new Rotary/ -headquarters at the Village inn in ^Richmond. (Time is Tuesdays at to: 15 p.m.) ( Jok Gruenz did the bossing and Q poor \Pat Gruenz and Elaine Christensen did the work. Apparently Joe's motto is "Service above self.'1 Bud Wendt, song leader, outdid himself by having the men sing three opening") songs; but they didn't mind because Edith Grant really made the piano talk and drowned out the!melodious kitten voices. x ^ Dr. Savage will provide the next program. Harry Andefson thanked all his friends in Rotary for his cards. He came home last Thursday and we trust he will soon be at meetings again. For the next three weeks, Dr. Harris, the vice-president, will carry on as chairman of Richmond Rotary.

' Christensen Breaks Record Bobby 'Chiistensen put "on a real show for the local fans last Friday when he scored 49 points against a ' strong' Williams Bay team. The Rockets won this game, but it took a lot of excellent shooting to do so. We dorit know what percentage Bob had, but we heard it was terrifically high. One person said he hit ttoenty-two of twenty-eight shot3 arid at this rate he was really hitting from all angles. Besides His "twenty-two field goals he had five free throws to make it fortynine points for a real night's work. The final score of the game was 79-63. This forty-nine point effort sets a new school record and possibly a Southern -Regioititl conference record. The old record for the high school was set in 1938 at forty-five points in the old town--hall. The "modern rei cord, unti| Bob broke this, was 1 thirty-one set by Harvey Miller two years ago. Loren Miller, a brother of , Harvey, has been knocking on the door twice this season but has only had thirty on two occasions^so Hafv is still on top among tfefe Miller brothers.

Marilyn graduated from RBCHS with the class of '52 and graduated 'from nurses' training at the Lutheran hospital in Moline last August.

Marilyn was wbme last weekend so that she could show her folks the ring. She had stars in hter eyes in church Sunday and looked like a bride-to-be-; Wedding plans are indefinite at the moment.
