Jerome Payton and i family, then by the George Cullers and finally by the Kenneth Cookes. was with us for a year and left for home on December 26th. Her trip back included a interesting stops along the way. On the reverse side of the Fxchange Program, one of our Morris High School students, Barbara Cooke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
