The editor of this magazine is Leonard French, who is also the famous lawyer, Paul Herman. Leonard has adopted this second name because he is so famousg and two names are less confusing in his two vocations. Hubba, Hubba!! Look at that profile on the cover! Let's turn the page and find out all about her. Ah, here is an article about the cover girl. It's Ruth Anna Andres, remember her? She has been voted HMiss Cover Girl, ---- Boinglln by the famous lawyer, Paul Herman. We come to the picture pages. These pictures were taken by Robert WFlash Bulbu Maier and Eugene NClickW Cuthrell., WFlash Bulbn has invented a new type of camera which requires only a bulb--no camers. WClick'sN favorite quotation is, NLook at the monkeyn, after which he steps our from under the black cloth and gives a unique demonstration. Paging on, we see a picture of Melvin WStick 'em tightn Richter. He has now set up an annual year book publishing industry and he specializes in the informal page by using his special glue. Last but not least, we turn to an advertisement. We look closely, and again we look closer, Oh no! It couldn't be! But it is, Leo 'Muscle Boundn Lang, posing his beautiful and shapely legs for Berkshire nylons. This is only his favorite pastime. Otherwise, he is under the training supervision of his managers, Bernell WFishW Kerbs and Alvin HAbercrombieU Schugart. Next season HMuscle Boundn is up against the flea weight champion, Eddie NCrusherN Haller, who gains his strength by consuming enormous amounts of string beans. His manager is Fern WBlusherH Brack who blushes everytime Crusher walks into the ring without a shirt on. When not acting as manager for Crusher, Blusher idles away her time on her dude ranch in Wyoming, and Crusher is under contract to act in the Joan Davis show as Dr. Crenshaw. Bernell and Alvin, when not busy with Leo, are the owners of a race track in Monte Carlo and run a gambling casino for good measure. There's a rumor going around that Beverliann Kullmann will make her next appearance in the 3,000-capacity auditorium which was recently added to ORHS. Miss Kullmann is accompanied by the famous composer, 1.3
