Marilyn Yeoman, IX-1 OnC summer day the constant ring of the telephone brought a teen-age girl flying downstairs. In reply to her eager ’’Hello” came a strong, husky voice which she thought she recognized as Bill ' s. When he asked her out, she agreed reluctantly. That night about six o ' clock, while Ann was at the store, Bill phoned and Ann ' s younger sister answered. He didn ' t leave any message, but simply told her to tell Ann that Bill had called. When Ann returned, she was filled with curiosity as to what Bill had wanted. She could not phone him as he hadn ' t any phone, so.she dismissed the thought from her mind, thinking that he had only wanted to tell her he ' d be a little late. Realizing her favourite TV Show was on, Ann sprawled out on the couch and concentrated on the plot of the murder mystery. The ring of the doorbell brought her to her senses, and she got up to answer. Through the curtain came the sil¬ houette of a figure which she knew at a glance was Don ' s. Standing with pins in hor hair, sloppy jeans, and dad ' s old shirt on, Ann was horrified. What was he doing here? Father ' s voice boomed through the hall, Well, don ' t just stand there, let him in.” Ann ' s hand lifted the latch, and Don entered, Guess I must be a little early,” he remarked, as he looked her up and down. I ' ll get ready now”, she said, as she showed him into the living room where Father was just puttingon one of his favourite Irish Folksong” records. By now Ann was -quite puzzled as to what was going on-. Here stood Don acting as though he had asked her out, while she waited for Bill. Glaring at Dad, ' who by now was singing along with the record, Ann started up the stairs, but stopped as Don said, Oh, by the way, I-forgot to ask you to bring your new Rock ' n Roll record when I phoned you this afternoon. With that, Ann floated up the stairs humming the latest hit. So it hadn ' t been Bill who phoned the first time that afternoon, and with that thought in mind Ann went off for a night full of fun.
