She graduated from Arkansas University in lf?-47. After getting her Doctorate. she became director of education at the Arkansas state capital Before accepting this position. she was instructor of Arkansas Us dancing school.

And while I'm on the subject of large families. let me tell youl Nettie got her dream. All the little off- springs make a pretty sight as they walk down the street.The fiye boys have black hair and the six girls red. And wasn't it fortunate that all the boys have curly hair and the girls straight? 'Everything for the boys' says Nettie' They are such a happy family. And. pardon mv vernacular of the street. Lou. but this will 'kill ya' The tables have turned and Patty Pettit is no longer waiting for anyone. 'Pash' became impatient waiting for him. so she ioined the XVaves, Now PP is in the Aleutians teaching the natives how to swim as a part of our good will policy to maintain the post-war peace in the Far East. l-lody Doatson's Charm School has been the most successful school of its kind in the past ten years Hody produces students that not only have charm. sex appeal. and figures every girl dreams of, but girls that can get a man and keep him. Hody's lectures on how to get a man and hold him are the secret to the girls' marital happiness. A high point of the lectures is her technique on getting and keeping Alfred. You know how success- ful that marriage is. Louf Of course. you've probably already seen Skinner today.

She still gets in her plugs for the refrigerator business by prescribing her famous icy-air treatment for swollen cow legs. lt's a mooey good business. too. Greenstreet flew down from Tulsa to be here today. She was in here a few minutes ago. Cottey must have had a premonition about her. The Oregon suite gals missed it by a hair's length. Doris is listed in Tulsa's phonebook as Mrs. B. Lew Alley. Doris was relieved to exchange the green lghastly color. isn't it:'l for the blue. but the 'street' for the 'alley'-well. anything for love. Georgia's here. too.

Donna lfubank. now known as 'Donna and her magic violin' is currently on an European tour with the All Girl Orchestra. She cabled to say that she had missed the plane from Lisbon and couldn't make it. Fast-walking. fast-talking Groce takes time out from special technical studies in bowing and the 50th posi- tion at the Sorbonne to attend daily matinee and evening performances of Van Johnson pictures.

Says the same of her husband. only adds the word 'lovable' to th: list of adiectives. ln fact. art is now her second love. She hasn't given it up entirely. however, She's painting a series ol' pictures entitled 'The Latin XVorld' which is to be presented to the Cottey art department today. They have decided to hang her most famous in Arkansas suite as a tribute. The painting is called 'The South American Banana' That girl had great possibilities .... too bad she let Love interfere. But she's so happy with Rinaldo and the children' Betty Voss is another 'happy motherf She surprised everyone by marrying a Protestant. She met him while 'slinging hash' on the Great Lakes one summer. Her dreams of becoming a housemother at Notre Dame have never been fulfilled. However. she's planning to send 'the little one' to Notre Dame and hopes he will be- come the greatest football star since the days of Steve Toc7vlowski. XVhy. there's Elleneda Crawford at the far end of the room. She has been quite a success in her field. Yes, she's bringing farm production up to a new high. She was just recently elected foremost authority on poultry psychology.
