 The
handling of boats has a
fascination for nearly every
boy, and "Young America" is now
constructing boats, real boats
of the sea-going type, which
embody many helpful suggestions
for even experienced builders.
In every part of the country the
desire to build "fast boats" has
spread among boys, both in large
cities and in country districts.
The town of Wellston, Missouri,
boasts two youngsters, Irl R.
Hicks, Jr., fifteen years of
age, and Adrian E. Donahue,
seventeen years old, who have
built a motorboat 16 feet long,
and have equipped it with a
five-horse-power motor. The boys
are pupils at the Wellston High
School, and before u ndertaking
the boat, they constructed an
automobile, which they also
fitted with a motor. These young
mechanics have been encouraged
by their fathers in this work,
and often rode about town in
their automobile, and to Creve
Coeur Lake, where they built and
launched their motor-boat.
Irl Hicks,
Senior was elected the FIRST
Mayor of Wellston in 1910 by a
plurality of thirty-two votes.

 Here is
something that you might find
interesting. I was in the class
of 1966. My mother was Irene
McBride and worked in the
cafeteria while I was there. My
uncle was Raymond McBride and he
was custodian part of the
time I was there. My cousin, Dorance "Gabe" Ostendorf
'60, drove my school bus all
four of my high school years. Berniece McBride

Editor's note: Would anyone have
pictures in their shoebox of
Irene or Raymond McBride's
to share with others? Email us:
