P It is now the year 1961 and as I sit here before the blazing fire in my living room my eyes focused on the television set, the first face that fiashes upon the screen is that of my old school chum, Winfred Stallings. He is now Durham's beloved Country Boy and is still advertising the Miracle Medicine of the century, Hadacol. With a quick turn of the dial, whose face should I see? Ah! None other than that of the great Ray Shipp. Back in our old school days would you have thought Ray Shipp would ever be a success at anything? Neither did I, but now Ray is a very successful minister and has his own Gospel Hour each evening. Could my eyes be fooling me or do I see Frances Freeman? Yes, it is Frances Freeman directing the choir before a multitude. VVell this is just about as much as my old decrepit heart can stand. After the Gospel Hour was over my nerves were quieted by the sweet sound of Yernard Dampier's voice, who has now taken the place of age old Vaughn Monroe. The music was so soothing and the fire so warm that without realizing it I drifted off into a deep slumber only to be awakened by the hillbilly voice of Edna Earle jackson, the Minnie Pearle of 1961. After she had introduced her new song, Still Looking for a Man, Mrs. Keesee's little boy, Dolie Clayton, took his place on the stage. Dolie now holds the title of Hillbilly King, having left Eddie Arnold behind 'fMany Tears Agof' Well I've had all of this I can stand for one evening and since I have a date to go dining and dancing at the VVaIdorf Astoria with its owner, Wayne Watkins, I guess I had better get on the ball and get dressed. After quickly, but carefully dressing, I sat down with the intention of relaxing, but before I could settle down I was interrupted by the insistant ringing of the doorbell. In hobbled Dorothy Elliott Baker and her six sets of twins. The very nerve of her asking me to keep those twelve little monsters while she steps out with the Casanova of the Town, Herbert Barbee! One insult sent her down the street raving mad, stopping only long enough to buy a bag of peanuts from the poor old peanut vender, A. T. Barbee. The bell chimes again and this time it's the one I formerly expected, VVayne, in tails, top hat, cigar, and all the extras. The lim- ousine had so many doors that I jumped in the front seat only to be humiliated by the scowling face of the chauffeur, A. R. Rich. We encountered two of the most handsome doormen I have ever seen who were also two of my old school mates, Billy Rorie and Boyce Moize. My but it's a miracle how much weight one can put on in ten years! As soon as we arrived we were horrified to see the husky bouncer, Orus Freeman, tossing out two of our most outstanding classmates- Carver High and Peggy Swanson. Would you have ever thought that two such lovely people would have created such a disturbance in public? The Hoor show began with Maestro Billy O'Briant introducing Irving Berlin's latest song hit, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with Juanita Riggs doing the vocal. The next number on the show was really a surprise. Really folks, you would never have recognized Jean Dhue. She has been with the Ballet Russe for five years, and appeared in Monte Carlo some years ago. I would have enjoyed this ballet if I had not been constantly annoyed by the frequent visits of two cigarette girls, Peggy VVatkins and Gladys Maynard, dressed in the most extreme costumes of the day. After dancing several times to the sweetest music this side of the Pacific, I was escorted back to my apartment. To my horror as soon as I opened the door I realized that I had left my television set on. Shirley Russell was pinch-hitting for Dorothy Dix. Never in my life had I heard such a fuss. After such a hectic day I fell across my bed completely ex- hausted. What a day! joyce Terry, Prophet 'I2
