Shut the Door, You're Lettin' in the Flies!

A DELIGHTFUL BOOK WITH ODEBOLT CONNECTIONS
The author, June Fulton Ellis, is married to John Ellis, an Odebolt native who graduated from Odebolt High School in 1942.  They have donated a copy of her book to the Odebolt Public Library.  Shut the Door, You're Lettin' in the Flies! is a great read about the author's growing-up years in a large family who lived on a farm in southwestern Missouri.  The last chapter of the book is about John's boyhood years in Odebolt, and includes stories about the Polecats and about how and why "Trojans" was chosen as the mascot name for Odebolt High School.
