My Dear Mrs. Eby:
I enjoy your poems in The
Frontier so much, and having
read about you in that paper, I
almost feel I know you. 1 am in*
closing a poem I dreamed up
about O’Neill.
I am an avid reader of The
Frontier, having been born and
educated in O’Neill. My last visit
there was in 1956. .
Poems and flowers are my hot)-!
by too. I also enjoy corresponding
with people. I would enjoy hear
ing from you.
Most Sincerely,

How WlU YOU Vote?
O’Neill, Nebraska
October 31, 1960
Dears Sirs:
Does O'Neill NEED four gym
nasiums? Let’s take a hard look
at this problem confronting us.
1- O'Neill Public School already
has one of the best high school
gymnasiums in Northeast Nebras
ka.
2. St. Mary's Academy is
scheduled to start work on its
new gymnasium very soon.
3. The new Armory building
will be under construction soon.
It will be equipped with a
basketball court which will be
made available for basketball
practice to those w»ho applv for
its use.
4. Now, a proposed new, deluxe
gym, the school bond carries.
Wouldn’t FOUR gyms make us
a bit top-heavy in that depart
ment? And do you know as a
matter of fact that both St.
Mary’s and the Public School
have another gym each, in their
respective basements, each of
which is suitable and used for
basketball practice, when needed.
We have two schools, two first
basketball teams, two second
basketball teams. How many
gyms do we actually NEED?
Weigh the situation. Then,
mark your ballot on Tuesday,
Nov. 8.
