Mr.. and Mrs. Gillette are rejoicing
over the receipt of postcards yester-
day morning from their son. Nelson
Gillette. who disappeared from his home

afternoon.
On the cards. which were mailed
from New York City. the lad did not
give his parents any idea of what he
was doing or how he made his way to
New York, but the one to his brother
LaVerne bore the inscription I'VE
simply had ripping time
Instead of thinking that perhaps
their son is dead, the parents are now
wondering how the lad reached the far
eastern point in so short a time. AS
it is positively known that he had no
funds; they are of the opinion that he
perhaps secured a position selling pa
pers on a passenger train.
The high school students and faculty
realize that in young Gillette going
away they have lost a very apt scholar
and are in hopes that he will soon re-
turn home and enter high school again
next year.
He was also member of the high
school orchestra, being an excellent
violinist, and the director and members
also regret losing him, especially at a
time when the orchestra appears at so
many functions during commencement

WHITING NEWS
Graduates From P. and S.

Among the graduates from the P. and
S. College of the University of Illinois.
who had the M. D. degree conferred
upon them Tuesday afternoon. was one
who is well known here, it being Sol.
M. Goldberger.
DR.. Goldberger. as he now is, is a
graduate of the Whiting high school
in the class of 1906. Recalling the
class day exercises of that year will
bring to mind the class prophecy of
Mabel O'Hara. 1t will be remembered
that Miss O'Rara prophesied that the
graduates would go along a street in
a strange city and see a sign DR.. Cold
berger. Upon investigation it would be
learned that the doctor was none other
than "Sollie' 'Goldberger of the class of
'o6 of the Whiting High School.
1t is now to be seen that Miss OHara
prophesied the correct vocation for SOL
lie," for he is now, sure enough, full
fiedged M. D.
Several Whiting relatives and friends
of the young man attended the com
mencement exercises of the College Of
P. and s., which were held in the Stude-
baker Hall Tuesday afternoon. The
best wishes of his host of friends go
