Virgie was quite enchanted with the little pony with the "stair carpet" across his back and she was sure she would have nightmares that night. Don LaVelle did his best to keep everyone satisfied as far as refreshment was concerned but about the prettiest thing I saw was Marian Tjaden and daughter, Dianne, in mother and daughter outfits. One of the reasons I wanted a daughter was to wear one of those. Nearest we ever came to it are the "Ducks Unlimited" patches we have on our jackets. I felt that the judge would have been extremely unpopular if he the car for some little time.

Just when the car was being given its final touches the 17-year-old Son got in and whisked off to his date, leaving Mother and Dad standing in the yard with the chamois and hose in their hands and a helpless but wistful look on their faces.

Ten years ago the number of residents in the White House area and on both north and south sides of the lake was negligible compared to the present populace in those areas. The telephone company has added several lines to take care of the additional patrons there.

A third reason, the absence of college students who are counted where they attend school, has also been mentioned. This perhaps applies to Eldora more than some towns because the number of college enrollees from this city is now at its peak. The E. H. S.

class of 1950 had an unusually large delegation, bringing to 75 the number of Eldorans in the collegiate ranks. After making her legitimate explanations, Eldora not only can lay claims to holding her own but it appears that the, city proper made some population gain.
