DICK'S "FIND" MAKES GRIDLEY SHIVER That closed the football season in a blaze of glory.
Gridley H.S.had closed the year without a defeat. The day after Thanksgiving football is deader than marbles.
Gridley H.S.boys and girls settled down to study until the holidays came on. The next thing of note that happened in the student world jarred the whole town.
There might have been a much bigger jar, however. Dave Darrin often worked, Saturday nights, in the express office. One night in early December he was employed there as usual.
