A DREAM COME TRUE At last old age has caught up with me. It seems that no matter how hard a person tries to stay young, her turns gray and her old bones start to creak. But one good thing about my growing old, I'm hair finally finally liv- ing where I've always wanted to. Every time I passed Lakeside with its wide iron gates and green, well-kept grounds, I knew that's where I wanted to go when I grew old. Harkl I hear a car coming up the drive. Now it's stopped. Oh, it's my daughter, Nora, and my darling little granddaugh- ter, Sue Ellen. They're coming over here. Maybe and talk a few minutes. they'll stop 4Sue Ellen, don't sit on the grass. You'll get grass stain on your yellow dress.H That's Nora. She's always scold- ing Sue Ellen if she gets the least bit dirty. 'Grandma, see the beautiful flowers I've brought you? Isn't the red one pretty?H Bless her heart, she always brings me pretty flowers when she comes to see me. 'Come along, Sue Ellen. Maybe we'll come back next Sun- day.W Well, they're gone now. Oh, how lovely it is here. It's so nice and shady under the maple tree, and I'm right next to the road where I can see the cars speed by and people come in through the big iron gate. Yes, I'm finally at home. At home with folks folks who have my likes and dislikes--folks who at my old-fashioned whims. You see, I'm resting in Lakeside Cemetery!

HIGH SCHGOL ROMEO It was a beautiful spring day and the sun was shining bright on the campus, Harry Hanover strutted up the white walk leading to the school steps whistling, Hlim in Love with a Wonderful Guy.N Harry is the personality plus boy of the Darling High School, A mass of muscles, stands Utimll 5f8U in the air, and this is all packed into 140 pounds. DoesnYt this sound like an ideal physique? He is active in sports: the captain of' the ping pong team, the croquet team, the tiddly winks team, and last but not least, the official bat boy of the baseball team, His towhead can always be seen among a crowd of girls. How he manages to get himself into the crowd, I canft see. He considers himself the Arthur Murray of the local dance hall -- very graceful with his size 12 shoes! In his own eyes he is the school female thriller. As Harry enters the hall, immediately he sees a cute Wbombshellu all by herself standing by HLovers1 Gush,U uHi there, baby,U Harry said, as he rolled his big blue eyes and hurried to her side. UYou shouldnlt be all alone,U uHi, Harry,n she managed to reply, Uthank you, but I'd rather'be alone if you donit mind. Ifm waiting for my boy- friend, Spike,n UOh, well,U said Harry as he casually walked away, UI'll be on my way, but remember, cutie, if youlre ever alone, my phone number is Catchme l25.U Of course, Harry didnit want to admit it, but he was secretly terrified because he well knows that Spike is considered the toughest boy in school and what he does to guys he finds hanging around his girl. After classes that day, Handsome Harry, the heart beat of the opposite sex, sauntered out into the hall passing a group of girls talking and laughing. nHumph, here comes Hopeless Harry, girls. What a pestlu They all breathed a sigh of relief as Harry walked by, Little did he dream of the nature of their conversation because Harry was too engaged in whistling his favorite tune.

THE MALE A NJMAL What about them, you ask? Plenty! For instance, let's take a man at home. He definitely cannot wipe a dish without dropping it. Planning a simple meal would be, for him, like trying to arrange an intricate jigsaw puzzle. And girls, don't ever let a man cook a meal. When it comes to the steak, he'll wonder, UDid she say boil or broil?H Believe me, a boiled steak isn't anything to whet an appetite. f ' Now, sweeping a floor comes a little easier to the man of the house. When he's finished, the floor is somewhat cleaner but the corners are just as dusty as ever. The divan has a lovely nick in one leg, the television set shows a battle-worn scar on its beautiful maple surface, and that,floor lamp that stood so majestically in one corner, is now just a broken, battered piece of iron at Joe's Junk Yard. What happened to it? You guessed itl Our hero gracefully tripped over the cord while attempting the art of housecleaning. All these instances show what a man really is, a clumsy, helpful idol that women couldn't live without.
