In the literary section the books reviewed for today must be really great, if you believe the critics. The first book was for music teachers. It was written by the composer Glenda Madison, who is declared to be a second Czerny. I told Nancy that Glenda must be getting revenge on her music teacher's children. Another book was one on shorthand by Frances Wall.. The third Book was written by Jean Beane, and she must have remembered her Beta Club Initiation because it was entitled How to Make People Really Feel Initiated . The preview said this book was skillfully illustrated by Vada Strider. The reviewer of these books was Billie Sue Brown, who had every author bowing and scraping to her just for some nice words from her about their books. On the woman's page Edna Booie revealed one of her famous recipes for cookies. Evidently she got experience in cooking by working in the lunch room at Mocksville High School. Also on that page Mary Lois Gaither had taken over the Emily Post column and was now the authority on etiquette. lt was the page on science that shocked us both. It said that joe Murphy, physicist, and Edwina Long, the professor with the long list of degrees, had made a startling discovery about Einstein's Law of Relativity which would aid the scientist very much in the making of th e X bomb. The scientists were also lauding L. D. Hendricks for discovering another law of motion to go with Newton's three. I pity the poor Physics students if they have to learn all four! I would explain Hendrick's law, but since I haven't used by knowledge of Physics in almost twenty years, I had better keep quiet. The farm section told of an 18 year old partnership that had been very successfuL A famous wheat grower and his partner produced the best flour in the United States. Of course, these partners could have been none other than Larrv Foster and johnie Naylor. Another partnership featured on this page was unusual. The story was that Roger Powell, a sawmiller, could not find enough trees for cutting to keep him in business, so he asked his friend Dennis Ijames to help him. Dennis concocted a compound called Pro PHIOEM which makes trees grow quickly. They keep a tree surgeon with them at all times. The one they have now is james Howard. It seemed the newspaper had given up all its information about our old school- mates, and Nancy and I didn't know where to go from there. I decided I had better do some nursing, so I took her temperature and told her to listen to some music on the radio. And do you know what? The very first person we heard was Nancy Glasscock, one of the elite among disc jockeys in radio. Nancy and I agreed that Nancy Glasscock had put her ability Cthat is, to talkj to work for her, for she was raving about the sensational singer Don Aldhen. We couldn't figure out who this was until it suddenly dawned on us. Donald Hendricks! The next song Nancy played was sung by the Bonnettes , which Nancy told us included Yvonne Atwood from Maine, North Carolina. The music for this record was furnished by James Roberts and his guitar. After this song, which was very good, Nancy made an announcement about a show to be on tonight. It is called The Biggest Big Show and stars the glamorous, un- predictable Sadie Allen. It was time for Nancy to go off the air, and we still didn't know what some of our class mates were doing. I remembered one. Keith Leonard. What was he doing? Disappointed, I sank in a chair, but suddenly I spied a face on the back of the Ladies' Home Journal . It was Alice Hayes and looking as young as she did in '52. I opened the book and to my surprise and delight saw Betty jean McDaniel pictured with her five children. The magazine was honoring Betty Jean for being an excellent mother and housewife. But what about Keith? What had he done? The evening paper arrived then. Yeah, there it was on the front page. It told what Keith was doing all right. I read the head lines to Nanqn They said: D. K. LEONARD ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR U. S. PRESIDENT. Well!! How do ya like that? NAOMI RIDDLE, Propbel.
