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

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

most impressive things was to watch the lights come od from the Ad- ministration Building. And I liked especially the Flanitarium, where one could see the world go round. The Fuir showed as much knowledge as it would be possible to acquire in a whole college education. We , the people : Then you really enjoyed the Fair? Mr. Mahoney: I certainly did, and we had four children to help us enjoy it. Miss Deirdre McMullan Wonder why Miss McMullan has been standing over there for so long? Puzzled: What ' s so engrossing? Miss McMullan: This double key board piano on which both boards are played at once. The woman playing it now is the only American who has studied it. I ' ve been here looking and listening most of the afternoon. Unsatisfied: Where else have you been? Miss McMullan: Over at the Elec- trical Building. It was the most fun to listen to the people calling up their relatives at the Bell Telephone display. Amused: Aren ' t other things un- usual? Miss McMullan: Everything is in- teresting. The Italian Building was just like being back in Italy. The Family Doctor rnd the replica of Mount Vernon in the Japanese Building have left me breathless. I liked everything — but a ham- burger. It smelled like heaven and tasted like sawdust. J. Michael Questioning: Mr. Michael, at what are you laughing so hard? Mr. Michael: Those fallows trying to ride those airplanes (interval of mirth) . Exasperated: .That, seriously, im- presses you most? Mr. Michael: I can ' t say it the way it ought to be said, but the immensity of work it must require; the amount of time and money is stupendous. Inquiring: What for instance? Mr. Michael: Tho::s little models 5 in the Hall of Science, as an ex- ample — that one train, whose whole route was shown, tunnels, and all. Nuisance: Where have you spent most of your time? Mr. Michael: The Streets of Paris. Slightly Shocked: You say the funniest things I Mr. Michael: This makes our fourth visit. We slept in the car last night! Bravo I Miss Ella Moore Miss Moore, you certainly have seen something great and splendid in this display, haven ' t you? Miss Moore: It seems so wonderful that I can ' t help thinking all the time, Behold what God hath wrought. ' In all the exhibitions it is brought home to us and we see the work man has done to reveal the great truths. Thoughtful: You make us see the Fair in a new light. Were there any special things , you liked? %$ Miss Moore: Flowers W have always been a hobby of mine. So . I enjoyed the Horti- culture Building, % especially the gar % ' den of roses. I j $} liked to contrast the plants of the South with those of the North. And of ' o ' At- m n ,« H ¥3 I was deep- J ' Pill course, ly interested in the Hall of Sciones and the Planitarium. o, H j i £ mr- ii
