You want to know how I knew the time. Well, ma'am, I'm a cop. It was 11:38 and I started to pound my beat again. As I walked up the street I noticed Gari's had a crowded store. Many of the teenagers were trying on suits just received. I couldn't figure this out because I knew they certainly didn't like to wear them. I heard Dick Dutra complaining and Phil Henry was saying, If it wasn't for my mother at and the Senior Ball I wouldn't have to even wear one of these monkey suits. Laughing I walked on up the street until I met my sidekick Walt McCloud in front of the City Hall. It was 12:00 noon and he was just coming on duty. We both had the beat that afternoon. Yes, I know I had the early-bird watch, but this is Pleasanton. McCloud said he got a call from Iohn Edgren and Sons. They were showing the new cars and wanted us to keep an eye on the show-room. Well, Walt, what seems to be the trouble, I asked because I noticed he looked a little pale and tired. The same old thing, lohn, answered Walt. Phil Henry is very cheerful to the customers.

I grabbed his shirt and said, Well, young man, where are you going in such a hurry? They just received a new shipment of maga- zines at the Bus Depot. If I don't get some to take home to my wife Graham and Hitch will be getting some business. I questioned him and then let him go because I knew he wanted to please his new wife. As I was getting into my car I heard a sound like shooting coming from Viada's Home Ap- Don Regalia fits Nick Corege to a suit while Pete Christesen shows Denny Allen the real McCoy in smart shirts. Phil Henry drools over a new belt at CHRISTESENS Men's Clothing Pleasanton pliances. I smelled trouble and took off on the run expecting to find just about anything but what I did.

I walked up just as Ken Whitaker said, We'd better march over to the Pleasanton Floral Shop right away and order the flowers for the girls. I'm a cop and cops are curious. I asked them what the flowers were for. jerry Salac piped up and said, The Senior Ball is only three days away. That explained why all the girls were in the Lo-Na' Style Shop that morning.
