out for it on the first Friday of every month.” “Oh. Okay. Well, we’re
just hanging out.” Rain Richardson and Jenna Capstick were working on a

PRESIDENT, SENIOR SCRIBES
B L O O M I N G T O N
By Delbert Blickenstaff
Living in Grasscreek, Indiana, in 1933 was about as far removed from
the big city as you can get without being in the middle of a
cornfield. I think that there were ninety-nine residents, on a

Fund
By Michelle Malkin
