SlMON BERNSTEIN 4225 otter street typingl typingl and more typing, simon lives to type or types to live, one or the other. anyhow, he'd rather work those keys than do anything else. prac- tice makes perfect and SKIPPER is proving it. someday he might be the champion typist of the united states. wouldn't that be swellish? . . .

RUTH l3ORlSl-l 3829 pennsarove street oddly enough the 3 r's,-readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic are the chosen hobbies of RUTl-llE, and a good choice they are, too. she always manages to do things in the right way anyhow. some day RUTHIE hopes to be in command of her co-workers, a very good ideal i wouldn't mind working for her myself
