Congress adjourned on Saturday, and the country heaved one great sigh of relief. Business, which had been depressed, began to perk up, and stocks, which had been in something of a slump, regained some of their lost values. The people of the United States turned with interest, unmixed with excitement, toward Cleveland, where the Republican party was gathering for the purpose of nominating  Calvin Coolidge for president.

Mr. and Mrs. Gene Wilkerson were not exactly surprised by the arrival of their second set of twins, boys Terry and Larry, born to Mrs. Wilkerson on Father’s Day, June 19. Richard and Robert, the brothers of the second set of twins, are 3 years of age. Twins are not unusual in the Wilkerson family, Gene having twin brothers and his grandmother, Mrs. Judy May, being the mother of two sets of twins.

Eighteen years after beginning work in Big Horn County, Mike and Kerry Terry are moving on. The Terrys both retired at the end of the 1998-99 school year, Mike as District No. 2 Special Education Director, and Kerry as the Byron Elementary special education teacher. Mike said they are retiring “because we can.” Their “baby,” BJ Terry, just graduated as co-valedictorian of the LHS Class of 1999, so they decided it was the perfect time to move back to the state (South Dakota) where they both grew up.

Elyse Wyatt has been almost a fixture in the SD#1 schools for 35 years. For many, it’s hard to imagine the front office at Rocky Mountain Middle/High School without her smiling face. “It was kind of a hard decision to quit, but it was time,” said Wyatt, who recently became a widow after 50 years of marriage.

At first she worked part-time as the school’s librarian and part-time as a Title I aide and also worked in the kitchen at Frannie Elementary School. She was later transferred to the high school in Byron to work as the school’s librarian. When the front office position became available she was transferred again to work in the office. She moved with the rest of the office staff to the new high school building in Cowley, where she worked until her retirement.
