Gordon, one of his Rotarians tells'me that Claud's lake (better known as Gordon's falls) is a good place to catch fish. Come to think of it, he said the carp were plentiful, and Mr. G. is thinking of stocking the lake with whale. Ho I smell a fish story ?

He lives in Lake Zurich and his trusty little .station wagon, the color of tomato soup, brings him to Richmond each day. As we told you earlier in the year, Rocky received his master's degree in education at Northern Illinois college last August. Each room at the grade school has music several times a week. At about 10:45 most mornings a train goes by the school and adds a few discords to the cherub (?) like voices of the kids. In instrumental music there are eighteen beginners on horns and drums. To be exact -- six trumpets, two trombones, two saxaphones, two flutes, four clarinets and two drums. This year's grade school band will be formed from last year's beginners in November. Once a year the grade and high school bands have a concert at the high school. High School " Tomorrow morning the third in a series of four assemblies will be held at the high school. The public is welcome to these entertaining programs. Tomorrow's assembly will feature a magician. Every oldster has a spot in his heart or in his weak mind for the man who pulls rabbits out of the hat. Maybe this magician has no rabbits, but he will have a few tricks up his sleeve, why not drop into the gym and see for yourself? Please note that the football game this week will be played on Saturday instead of on Friday. I know you will see that in Dar's column too, but just a double reminder. Aren't those Rockets good ?

Wedding of Class of '52 Three years ago a very special class graduated from RBCHS, and Saturday eight members of the class witnessed the wedding of two of the graduates of the class of '52 -- namely, Miss Carol Jones and Ronald Steadman. The eight spectators, among about 170 other guests, were Frank Buchert, Pat Busoh, Leonard Jones, Lillian Dammier Kooistra, Eddie London, Del Olson, Marilyn Olson and Darlene Harris Rudolph. Carol and Ron were married in Grace Lutheran church by Pastor Carlson at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, in a setting of candlelight, music, chrysanthemums and ihe prayers of many relatives and friends. To say the bride was radiant is the understatement of the year. Just ask the groom how lovely she looked. He looked like one of Uncle Sam's choicest morsels himself, in his dark wedding suit. The 'bride's mother, Mrs. G. Jones, looked sweet and petite in a dark dress trimmed with pink. The groom's mother, Mrs. L. Steadman, looked nice too in a dark dress. Not all of the class of "52 were spectators, Mrs. Henry Kooistra was the matron of honor, dressed in green. Leonard Jones, brother of the bride, and Del Olson were ushers. The bride's little cousin from Leland, 111., was the flower girl, dressed in autumn brofwn. The best man, class of '53, was Richard Jacobson. Bob Steadman, brother of the groom, was the acolyte. The wedding reception was held in Memorial hall. Mrs. Olga Madden, one of the best cooks in town, served and prepared the food. The bride's aunt, Mrs. Jack Cristy, of Long Lake made the wedding cake. Mrs. George Schultz, sister of the ffroom, served the wedding cake, the bride, took care of the. punch bowl and its contents. After a. short honeymoon, the bride and groom will return to their respective jobs --' Carol to her nursing profession at Memorial hospital, and Ron to the Army Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., where he will serve until his term is up in February. RICHMOND-BURTON SPORTS By par Ehorn Rockets in first Place Last Friday afternbon was a very important one for the Richmond Rockets. They journeyed to Clinton, Wis., and spoiled Clinton's homecoming by lacing the big boys from Wisconsin 25- 0. By winning this game, the Rockets took over first place in the Southern Regional conference because Williams Bay knocked off the league leading Capron Vikings 37-18. This was a real assist for the Rockets. It didn't come unexpectedly to this writer though. The game was called the upset of the year, but the way the Bull Dogs have improved since they lost their opening two games to Richmond artd Sharon, I can't see why it should be called an upset. This made the fifth straight win for the Bay team. Anyway, upset or not, we take our hats off to Williams Bay for lacing the Vikings. The Rockets started very slow at Clinton, but as the game progressed the Richmond boys picked up momentum and finally pushed across their first touchdown on a seven yard pass from Gunderson to Christensen with 2% minutes left in the first half. Christensen scored the extra point on a plunge over right end. The first half came to a close with Richmond on Clinton's 1 foot line. -The third quarter proved to be the big one for the Rockets. It seems like the boys yvere told a few of their wrong doings at half time by Coach Ned Morgensen, because in the third quarter the Maroon and White really caught fire and scored their remaining three touchdowns. The first touchdown in 'the second half was a 20 yard jaunt around left end by Bob ChristfeiT sen. There were two men between him and the end zone but hi.1? deception eluded both wouldbe tacklers. One minute and 32 seconds later, Christensen again took to the left end and .this time he shook three ^tacklers loose ' and went 26 y&rds for ttti touchdown. The final scoring thfe gaftie toas a long pass" irom" Gunderson to Bob Miller. This play covered 39 yards for the TD. The last quarter was strictly a defensive period. Both teams played extra hard trying to get possession of the ball and a TD but neither team could reach the others end zone. Several ball players were hurt in this quarter, but not anything serious, it was just a case of extra hard playingi. •Both teams had a lot at stake in this -game, and both wanted to win very badly. By winning, Clinton coud have come in for a share of the championship, provided they could beat Capron on Nov. 2 and Richmond had to win to keep their hopes alive for another championship. By the time this comes out in the paper, Richmond will have won the trophy or lost it. They played Genoa City yesterday.

Saturday afternoon Elburn comes here for a big double header, this game should prove to be very interesting.

Photo Greeting Cards Can Make Money for Your Church Today we'd like to dip into our mailbag and share with you a letter that we received from one of our readers. We felt that the story she tells may give some of you an idea for helping your church group add a little extra cash to its treasury. Our re,ader writes: "Like most church groups, the one a friend of mine belongs to was operating on a far from adequate treasury. Last year, one of their members hit upon an idea that has really hit the jackpot--so much so that I thought some of your readers might want to try out a similar project in their church groups. "One of the members took a series of pictures of their church. Of these, several views were selected and put into attractive greeting-card folders. In practically no time at all, the group discovered how easy it was to sell these photographic Christma^ cards, not only to members, but to others in the community. "Almost everybody bought the cards on sight, because the pictures had a personal meaning and reflected so well the message of the Christmas season. Don't you think your readers would be interested in hearing about this success story?" Yes, we definitely think you would be interested--and we hope it inspires you and your~ friends to launch a similar fund-raising project for your church group. It isn't a difficult undertaking--and if you don't warit to take the pictures yourself, you can always call in a professional photogra-i> pher. --John Van Guilder at the TWIN LAKES BOWLING ALLEYS "Home of the Automatic Pin Setting Machines" OPEN BOWLING from 12 Noon 'til 1 a.m. Phone Twin Lakes 2611 or 2711 TWIN LAKES, WISCONSIN Half-dead -Man,You need a - SUPPORTER BELT VIf you're dog-tired at five, it may be because your back and stomach muscles aren't supporting you properly* Bracer will take care of that.
