The renowned traveler and journalist, ELIZABETH HARFORIJ, has just written a new book called MON- KEYS IS THE QUASIEST PEOPLE. PLACES OF INTEREST: On your list of places of in- terest to see, be sure to jot down THE O'BRIEN HAT SHOP where Dottie, a grad- uate of Howe High, models the latest creations. Across the street, TAP CHAMPLIN models Cerf Benachilli's gown sensations before all the out-of-town buyers. SENSATIONAL: MARY BARTER made the head- lines the other day when she testified in the case of the Government vs. The Boggen Company. Mary is now de- luged with offers from the picture industry to act in the movie version of this famous trial. GEORGE MERRILL, for whom the Mer1'ill apple was named last year, is now ex- perimenting with crabapples on his farm in Ohio. SOCIETY NEWS: Miss MURIEL WOODWORTH, the very charming debutante, was seen in Billerica with her famous millionaire fiance. It is rumoured that they are about to say adieu . Has anyone noticed MARY l'LOURlJE'S new four carat diamond given to her by her husband, Larry, for her first wedding anniversary? She keeps her other jewels in a vault at the bank. ELINOR WATTS, that dazzling red-head, has added another heart to her collec- tion. Can it be her smile, her hair, or her chatter which gets her all the play- boys? ' MILDRED KENNEDY is now teaching school in Miss O'Neill's place. AP, NEW YORK: DOT SULLIVAN has just receiv- ed a plaque from GLAMOUR magazine, which proclaims that her eyes are the most beautiful in the world.

EDITH STAPLES' Beau- ty Salon has noted a vast in- crease in business since the charming young manager herself is giving permanents. THEY'LL DO IT EVERY TIME: MAJOR JOE ZA- RELLA, U.S.A., and Miss O'Neill are still carrying on their friendly feud, which started in English IV-A, in the good old high school days. This time it is via correspondence. TALK OF THE TOWN: DONALD BARNARD, the little man who was always there when the Howe football team needed him, was seen the other evening showing his neighbor's youngsters and his own six sons how to carry the ball for a touch- down. Local papers are proud to record that JOHN MASON has been appointed a Su- preme Court judge. He will be sworn into office in a few days.

Qliufuc QIIIIIPB LUCY KAMISHLIAN al- ways did enjoy herself heart- ily when she laughed, and the gift has won her the job as mistress of ceremonies on the PEOPLE ARE FUN- NY show. Not only does she do the introducing fo.r this show but she does the scriptwriting for the show immediately following the program. Flash! Flash! Here is news! EMMA GILE, that famous Metropolitan Opera Star, has consented to take time off from her concert tour to sing a few classical pieces at the President's Ball. Well, what do you know! Gladys Morgan, nee GLAD- YS MORRISON, was recent- ly seen walking down the street without her famous twins, Teddy and Becky, stars of the show Home in Alaska . EMILY PERRY has final- ly attained her ambition - that of being sound-effects woman for Spike Jones' Band. BANG-UP NEWS: VIN- CENT DeBENEDICTIS is chief chemist for Goodyear Rubber. He isn't doing so well at the moment. His sal- ary is only 310,000 per year. The new invention of CYNTHIA COUSINS is an entirely new type of perfume called Nocumstiff . She guarantees it will capture any man's fheart?J. That's how she won her husband. ALFRED SHEPHERD, well-known scientific engi- neer, has just invented the machine that splits the ma- chine that splits the atom. The SAVAGE and MOR- RIONE Airlines are rapidly expanding across the high- ways of the Airways. You can now secure a ride to Mars for a paltry sum. POLITICS: CYNTHIA JOHNSON'S charming per- sonality won her a position as receptionist at the Amer- ican Embassy in Portugal. It was there that she met her husband, Admiral Henn Peckt. IRENE GLENNON'S fiery debates as Congresswoman are helping to bring world peace closer every day. That's the spirit, Irene! MURIEL WEISEL has gone to Germany as person- al secretary to the President to settle affairs dealing with the army of occupation. She decided that was the only way she could see her fiance. HOME-FRONT NEWS: We were surprised to see DONALD MCDERMOTT the other day with his wife. He seems to be taking his role as father of six children very well, although he doesn't have the same gleam in his eye as he did in high school days. ROBERT MAXWELL has finally been tied down by none other than MARY KEANEY. They had quite an argument about his keep- ing his pin-up girl collection. Oh, well, Mary is a former nurse, so Robert is coming along fine now. NEAL DURGIN has 63.111- ed praise for the building of his Nutti.ng's Lake project, consisting of prefabricated and plastic houses. JOAN FROBESE, who, as you remember, was chosen the best citizen of the class of 1946, is on a tour of the Women's Detention Homes throughout the United States and is lecturing on How to Walk the Straight and Nar- row Path. We've just received news that CARL SWANSON has just received his Master of Arts Degree from Dart- mouth College. He has been offered a position as assis- tant to the Dean. ...gg- JACKIE NICHOLSON, that Romeo-about-town, has decided to take the great step with WILMA STARK! Nice going, Wilma! SPORTS: LEO SMITH, the co-captain of the football team '46, has returned in the role of coach, and has led his team through an unde- feated season. VERNON WILKIE, the lad that never gives up, has reached the peak of his car- eer, as he will fight the champ in three weeks. SERVICE NOTES: ROS- ALIE LaVALLE, following in her sister's footsteps, has just joined the Waves, while her mother cares for all the little ripples. Rosalie is sta- tioned in command at the base where her husband is a S2!c. LEON BRYANT has been given leave to attend the 1946 class reunion. You, no doubt, have read Lee is admiral of the fleet in the South Pacific, perfecting the defense mechanisms of the atomic ray against attack on shipping. LITERARY N O T E S: GORDON GIBB, the better half of Gibb and Gibb who wrote the best seller, HOW TO EAT SPAGHETTI IN 500 EASY LESSONS and the like, has just had his latest FROG LEGS AND HOW TO EAT THEM ac- cepted by his publisher. f'N'X Lv Q o vb 5533 52,3 4 :Q fo fy ' W 'CS xii' XX X.
