Especially Marcia, the Faber’s four-yearold daughter.Fabers noticed little Marcia with her young hands folded in church, praying a little extra harder for Lizzie’s return. The rest of the family felt sad for Marcia because they thought Lizzie was probably run over by a car, or even hit on the railroad tracks nearby.%Class Says JerryLikely To SucceedJerry Thomas has been named by his fellow seniors •‘most likely to succeed.”It’s in the Perkins yearbook.Jerry thinks it’s because of his good grades and admits he is an honor roll student.itone horn in the Perkins Marching Band in the Concert Band.His hobbies are chess and stamp collecting.The latter, he says, was developed through an aunt’sBut when the family returned home from church — whether it was fate, fortune or Marcia’s prayers — Lizzie was in the front yard.THE ENTIRE Faber family squealed with delight — especially Marcia — and ran to welcome their pet back home.
