His brother Roy helped him find a job at an art studio where he created adds for things like the newspaper, magazines, and movie theaters.

John Donald (Don or Donnie) was an American tennis champion who was a World #1 player for five years! 

John Donald was most famous for the first man to win in a single year the four tournaments that compose the Grand Slam of tennis!

Many people considered John to have the best backhand in the history of tennis.




John Donald was born June 13, 1915, and died January 26, 2000. (He died on cardiac arrest in Scranton, Pennsylvania.) 

John won two U.S titles at Forest Hills before entering the Air Force in 1942. (WW2)

He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1964. 




There is not much about his family, besides his hometown was Oakland, California, United States. 

John Donald married Diadre Conselman on May 26th, 1941. 

John Donald had light colored hair, and his height was 6,1.




I hope that you learned a lot about John Donald Budge!

If you want to learn a lot about Jesse Owens, you have came to the right place! 

Below is everything about Jesse Owens, and his life! Enjoy!




Jesse Owens was born on September 12, 1913 to his parents, Henry, and Emma Owens. He was born in Oakville, Alabama. Jesse was the youngest of the 10 children in his family.  

Jesse lived there until he has nine. 

His family were sharecroppers. They planted cotton, corn and many other crops  during the summer.  It was very hard for the family to have enough money, and food to feed the family of 10 children. 




Jesse didn’t have that much education. He was only able to attend a one room school, where he learned how to read and write. 

Whenever Jesse could, he ran around his farm.




When he wrote an autobio. about himself, he described running like this:




“I have always loved running. I wasn’t very good at it, but I loved it because it was something you could do all by yourself, under your own power. You could go any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind it you felt like it, seeking new sights just on the strength of your own feet an courage of your lungs.”




I think that this passage really describes how much he loves running, and how much he cares about it. Only someone who truly loves running would say something like that. 




I hope that you learned a lot about Jesse Owens!

This is where you can find everything about Mickey Mouse’s first comic strip!

I hope that you learn a lot!

ENJOY!




In  January 13, 1930, Mickey Mouse’s comic strip made it’s first appearance in the New York mirror, as a daily!

Mickey Mouse has been very popular sense that day forward. There are many different stories of how Mickey was Invented, but I will only share ONE of them!




In 1928, Walt, accompanied by his wife, Lillian, was returning by train home from New York to Hollywood, after meeting with his distributor. The journey back was sad because Disney had just lost rights to one of his leading charecters, Oswald the Rabbit. 




Everybody didn’t know what to do until someone finally sketched out something call the Mortimer Mouse! 

But after a while, people thought it wasn’t a good name, so they changed it to Mickey Mouse! And that is how Mickey mouse was started! 




I hope that you learned a lot about Mickey Mouse, and I hope that you will now know how Mickey mouse was invented!

Here is basically everything about the Nancy Drew series, in the 1930’s!

I hope that you learn a lot!

ENJOY!




Nancy Drew is about a teenager that is a detective! 

She goes on all sorts of adventures, and is always very adventuress, and excited!

I think that every single one of her books is very exciting!




The author of Nancy Drew is Edward Stratemeyer. He wrote 150 books throughout his WHOLE lifetime! Including the most famous ones, the Rover Boys, and the Hardy boys! 

I think that he must’ve had a very busy life! 




In 1959, the books were extensively revised, largely to eliminate racists stereotypes!

People said that they should tone the language down in the books. 

I think that this is very interesting because I wouldn’t have thought that, that would happen. 




Ever since that year, 1930, the Nancy Drew series have been a well remembered series!

 Herbert Hoover was a very important person he was born in West Branch Iowa, on August 10th, 1874
He also was the first president to have a telephone right on his desk.
   He believed in the efficiency movement strongly. I think that Herbert Hoover was a very important person and he was a good cool president too. Herbert Hoover was a busy man before he became president like being an engineer for China and then getting noticed and becoming a person who gives food the the people that don't have food. 
   Then he became president and he must not have been the best president ever because he was only president for one term so he must not have been the best person ever.
   Here are some facts about Herbert Hoover:
He was the first president to have a telephone right on the desk and that is neat.
Herbert Hoover was the first president born west of the Mississippi River.
He was also the first and only (so far) president born in Iowa. 
Herbert was also a Quaker.
He didn't want to be seen so the servants had to hide in the nearest closets in the White House.
Also Hoover never swore oath because he was a Quaker.


I hope you enjoyed learning a little about Herbert Hoover.
