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

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 . ' - - .

Miss Cage: Yes, I taught and chap- eroned a roup of 135 girls , chosen from the counties, in the Woman ' s building. I was the recreational instructor and had charge of the plays and programs of the girls at the night sessions. Intense: What was especially in- teresting to you? Miss Cage: We were there a week ahead, and literally saw the Fair set up. M. McCp.be Day Leaving Mr. Day? Mr. Day: Yes, we had to just rush through. Everything is all mixed up. 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. Placatingly: You inust have liked ' something around here. Miss Easter: It ' s eLl worth any- one ' s investment and wonderful from the standpoint of educational value. I especially enjoyed the Japanese Village; also the artist ' s village.

SS -aHd Harold Johnson Reporter(e o y 1 y) : What do you think of this big Fair, Mr Johnson? Mr. Johnson: Well, one might aptly say that it is a glo- rified carnival. Amazed: Original? Mr, Johnson ( coldly) : 1 The Hall of Science .is quite interesting I enjoyed the %.s t a t e exhibits. Also the advertise ment is most abundant. Humbled: Was there anything else that impressed you? Mr. Johnson: Yes, the tower made me seasick. Miss Alice Kline What do you like best in all this vast display Miss Alice Kline? Miss Kline: Those wax figurines modeled after all the famous women that have contributed something to the world. They were wonderful. So-called coy: What , no dogs? Miss Kline: I did enjoy the dog show because I was told that my dog came from one of the best kennels in the United States. Us: I ' ll bet you ' re puffed up. Miss Kline: I knew it before, but I always like to hear it. Oh I and I got a lot of enlightment from that globe by Rand and McNally. I never could quite visualize it be- fore, you know, the way the oarth revolves on its axis and around its orbit. Miss 3mma KLine Miss Kline: Did you know that Paul Revere was a dentist? I didn ' t until I saw the Madisons ' exhibits. Deeply interested: What else have you learned? Miss Kline: Ripley ' s Believe It or Not was instructive and interesting in that line. Although the Hall of Science really was representative of the progress. Oh heavens! I shouldn ' t have come here. Horrified: Why? Miss Kline: I ' ve been in the Foods Building and just couldn ' t resist Aunt Jemina ' s pancakes, and I had to take time out on my diet. And those Scottish scones — » All ears: Did you learn anything new? Miss Kline: Yes, I found out we chew between the way a sheep does and the way a cow does. Miss Ruth Luther That car looks familiar. Why it ' s Stella and Miss Luther, Miss Luther: I suppose I ought to know you, but I ' m so tired I don ' t know myself. Horrified: But aren ' t you uplift-r- ed; don ' t you enjoy it all? Miss Luther: Nothing so much as the bus J . ' Shocked: But something I J Miss Luther: I liked Ripley ' s Be- lieve It or Not. I spent most of my time in the Hall of Science — I preferred the freaks. Really, it ' s impossible to stand here and talk. We ' re trying to see it in a day, and I ' ll have to rush since it ' s essential to get home to- night. Everything is rather blur- red in my mind. Tinkety-tonk! Fred Mahoney Been all over the Fair, Mr. Mahoney? Mr. Mahoney: I have been trying to see everything and I ' m afraid I have missed some of the big things. Interested: What did you like the best? Mr. Mahoney: I certainly enjoyed the sky ride which gave a bird ' s- eye view of Chicago. One of the 10
