PM meaj, COUNTS! ! ! Now who ' d have thought he would take up that occupation? ? ? He has finally reached and rescued the poor suffering male who is none other than PAUL CLOUSE, that daring gigolo of the great metropolis of Milford! ! ! He arrived in an ancient yellow convertible. Now I wonder where he got hold of that? ! ? ! Now let ' s go on in and see who we can find. There is STANLEY FARRINGTON who has become a super sleuth at Ye Olde Pool Room. He reports the various heavier losses of certain men about town to BILL WEBSTER to be put in the ' Educating the Wives column of the Nappanee Advance. Bill is running it now and with this column and three pages of Superman in every copy, you can easily see why his circulation is over a million copies daily. Up in the balcony sits JOAN MELLINGER, all alone. Now who would have suspected she would be an old maid? ? ? hat cruel tricks fate plays! ! Well. well. well, well! ! Down in the $7.70 seats there are three jitterbugs of long standing: WILMA NETTROUER, LOWELL GARDNER, and ELSIE BOUGHER, Rumor has it that the profits they are making as partners in that little Hot Spot of Northern Indiana on the outskirts of Goshen, will soon have them all on easy street. Just at my left I see DORIS FOUDY and ELEANOR PHEND. They are running a very unusual little place called Develop Yourself! They teach rumba lessons and gum chewing, respectively. Sitting right beside little ( ? ) me is that multi-millionaire JUNIOR FRENGER. Am I thrilled or am I thrilled! ! ? ? He made his millions through tire production. He de-. clares he is never going to be caught without tires again so he makes his own. What would Zeke do without those trips to New Paris? ? Now let ' s all settle down and enjoy the show and we ' ll all meet afterwards at WIL- LIE HOOVER ' S Kroger Bowl Nile Klub. It ' s his closing night as he expects to visit the city jail for an indefinite period. All this was brought on by his incompetent bookkeeping which we all knew was going to happen ' way back in 42. - - - See you later! ! ! — Jean Oyler.

BETTY MILLER to and from church every Sunday night. Can you imagine that! ! ! Along with these four, is MARY ANN FOX, who has agreed to step out of George White ' s Scandals and appear in her home town to- night. And I thought she wanted to be a secretary. Looking out over the growing number of spectators I see MARY DUMPH and NORMA KRING standing on tip-toes looking this way. So they are still toegther! ! Don ' t they ever fight? ? ? Pardon me while I wave to PAT DOYLE! ! He has finally worked his way up to be as- sistant street cleaner. Of all things! ! ! I just saw him ask MAY MUNTZ, that great dramatic actress of the New York stage, for her autograph. Speaking of New York — CAROL HAHN, a glamorous model, is ap- pearing tonight with her childhood sweet- heart, WILLARD LOSEE! ! ! ! And here at last comes HOB JOHNSTON! ! The idol of millions! ! He finally did get somewhere with those huge shoulders. After all the admiration from some of the under- classmen, he should have! MAXINE JEN- SEN as his mate, is simply terrific! ! ! ! What ' s this! ? ! Everyone seems to be staring at this exotic lady getting out of a taxi. Who is this unknown person? ? ? ? Why it ' s MAXINE HERSHBERGER, Dean of Women at Goshen College! ! My how Go- shen College has changed! ! ! Her gown is designed by that famous dress designer, DAR- WIN HIVELY. It ' s not surprising for Dar- win never could see why evening dresses had to be so high as the collar bone and has final- ly done something about it. EARL HOLDERMAN and CASSEL HOKE are still friends as partners in the great movie corporation, Twenty-first Century Fox with competent RUBY HOLLOWAY as their busi- ness manager. Ruby is still a most ambitious person but what would she do without those weekly dates with a certain party from the huge city of Gravelton? ? ? Coming down the middle of the street is DAVE JOHNSON with an ice cream wagon. So he ' s still selling ice cream cones ! ! ! I wonder if he still makes them as small as he used to ? ? ? ! ! ! Cowboy BILL HENLEY is attending this gala premiere in a costume for the new pic- ture he is making Wild Bill Hickok Is Still Riding! The program is about to start so as I take one last look over this throng I see MRS. 0. A. LAMBERT. I talked with her the other day and she was telling me she had just employed two new servants. ORIE STOUT, as her loyal butler, who has the great responsibility of an- swering her door and just never lets a bill collector in; and MARILYN RICHMOND as a nurse maid. Marilyn is so-o-o wonderful with Viv ' s three little tots, I. C, U. R., and 0. K. She never lets them out of her sight! ! Viv ' s neighbor MRS. CHARLES PLETCHER, is having some marital difficulties. It seems her husband is being led astray by the oomph gal, NORMA DEISCH. But Peachy hasn ' t given up hope yet. And after all the vain searching for a husband in any place but Nappanee, CHARLOTTE SHAUM has finally found her heart ' s desire in MAX GWIN. The only thing prolonging a happy ending is her cousin, MARILYN STAHLY who is giving her some really tough compe- tition! Just a minute! ! ! There is quite a commo- tion out here. Someone is being mobbed by about twenty-five girls! ! There ' s a police- man diving after the victim! Would you look at that cop! ! If it isn ' t RICHARD
