Miss Beatrice Brown Miss Hazel Case Quit punching me. Oh! Miss Brown J lender what she ' s gazing at so absorbedly. Miss Brown: Isn ' t this diamond mine fascinating? Us: Which? But don ' t you think — Miss Brown: I really don ' t know what impressed me most. Of course I spend raost of my time in the Hall of Science. It seems so wonderful that they could make such miniature models and have them working . All worked up: Isn ' t it thrilling? Miss Brown: Yes, but wasn ' t it funny this morning when the storm started and the people scattered in all directions? Disapproving: Not so funny. KvlcJo. Brown Pardon me? Why Mr. Brown 1 I didn ' t ioiow you. Mr. Brown: I haven ' t quite been myself since I saw those tremendous amounts of exhibits in miniature. Reproachful: H ve you seen those little chariots? Mr. Brown: Made in that contest sponsored by Fisher Body? Of course. I understand the winners of the contest received scholar- ships to universities. Bui; the manufacture of tires by Firestone was just as interest- ing. The assembly line of the Chevrolet also attracted me because . ' I hod never seen one before. ■: n Absurb: And the Hall of Science? .. ' Mr. Brown: Of course. g r- 7$ 1- -tj .. • . ..£ r.. ,.. ■: .■■ .-.., v.r;.rr— .;;.:,-i . ' . ' T ' ; ' ■ —.. .; r . ' - - .

Why teachers get gray: What did you like the best? Mr. Day: I was greatly impressed by the tableau of The Family Doctor — The Electrical building took a great deal of my time. The visual workings of the radio were intensely interesting. Coy one: Is this your first World ' s Fair? Mr. Day (slightly haughty) ; I •was a babe-in-arms at the St. Louis Exposition. Miss Beatrice Easter Miss Easter (looking pale): They told me it was mild and gentle I It ' s a wonder I escaped with my life. Nearby: What are you talking about? Miss Easter: That monster Bozo.

Mrs, Sayle: Of course. Miss Altman Hello Miss Altman, having a good time? Miss Altman: But I had a much core exciting time at home, Increduluous t No; what happened? Miss Altman: We got up one morning and found a possum playing possum on our front porch. They are so ugly with their long bare tails, I called a neighbor for help in re - moving it and he called a police- man. Of course the policeman came, but he hadn ' t been expecting a possun He, however, took it to the station. Convulsed: That was exciting, but not as much as Bozo. Miss Boyd Good shot I It looks like— it is Miss Boyd Who ever thought you ' d turn Indian v ith a bow and arrow, A bulls eye at that Miss Boyd: It ' s -.ln.D£t as much fun as the train on Enchanted Isle. Great bother: What ( id §fcra like professionally? Miss Boyd: .The Food Building and Food ex-, hibits as well as any-? thing. Wat-ched Aunt Jemima bake pancakes. I am crazy about the modern homes, especially the open recreation porches. Also, I ' ve fallen qui e hard for All ears: Who? Miss Boyd: PopeyeJ Mrs. Branyan Are „ ' Ou having the most fur you ' ve had this summer? Mrs Branyan: I don ' t think so I did more in 24 hours than I ever did in my life when we went to Ak- ron, Ohio, Interested: What kept you so busy?

Surprised: And they still weren ' -t working to capacity - 1 What ' dldiycri do in the evening? Mrs, Branyan: L;-te at night we visited the airport to see the mail come in.

Ruthless: What else did you particularly notice? Miss Easter: The food. It was terrible. George Eberhart Trying to be funny: Huntington High School ' s own Professor BingJ Mr, Eberhart(cooly) : Have you seen Miss Ridgway? Impertinent: While you ' re waiting, what do you like best about the fair? Mr. Eberhart: I had read about the General Electric Show so I appre- ciated it more. I particularly like the medical exhibit in the Hall of Science. The Belgian Vil- lage was attractive, but I suppose most of the so-called Belgians were raised in Chicago. Laughing: Sounds like a good mixture, but we catch the general meaning. Miss Mable Ellis Hello, Miss Ellis. What, in all this display, was most in- teresting to you? Miss Ellis: I found the reproduc- tion of the old German Gutenburg Press very interesting. It was made of heavy pieces of wood. Workmen were there who cast type from a forge, set it up, and print- ing was a reproduction of the first printing that was done which dates back to the middle of the 15th century. Miss Minnie Hoffman Yoohoo Miss Hoffman I This is an Enchanted Isle Where are you going in such a hurry? Miss Hoffman: Can ' t stop now; supposed to meet people at 28th street entrance in ten minutes. Not to be put off: I ' ll come along. Miss Hoffman: Isn ' t the Electrical Building just lovely and the Hall of Science, and the agricultural display? I ' m having the greatest time! Puffing: Where all have you been? Miss Hoffman: Took in everything except the permanent buildings. See them later. The General Ex- hibits are intensely interesting and so are the Group of States.-. The Belgian Village was wonderful. Out of breath: Like that village the best? Miss Hoffman: The Japanese exhibit was outstanding for its artistic daintiness and poise. My biggest thrill was up in. the Tower at night. Glenn Hummer What are you laughing at, Mr. Hummer? Mr. Hummer: The people. They are so fascinating because of the way they wander about on the grounds. There are no two faces or expres- sions alike. In harmony: What do you think about the fair any way? Mr. Hummer: As a whole it is by far the greatest exhibition I have ever seen. Especially are the Ripley ' s Believe It or Not Build- ing, the Hall of Science, and the Horticulture Building interesting, because of their illustrations of plant and animal life in the normal as well as the abnormal condi- tions. And last but not least, I en- joyed the crowds, as everyone seemed to be in a hustle and bustle. r
