 r. r' j I TSn.«'t that lovely nusic? It »'s our own Jane3arda Minder sinline her new. hit, Let Richard out., Kilroy was Here. Well, it. looks like Mrs. Welch?' s.peech in glee club sure, did help her. My g osh, who is t hat priveleged character that just drove up, must be somebody since they flashed this machine so you could see him. Is t hat Don Millburg , in hia now. Zipper Car? It sure is a beauty, the car, wa mean. He just finished referring t he Uhiversity of Pawnee game. Ho wonder they won. Don's pretty good at that sort of stuff l By the way, while we were in California, we saw- an advertisement of twin beds, at the Dot Sanders Co. We wonder i f she still remembers that joke? She probably does, that is why she is laughing so hard right now. Dizzy Reed is the Pawnee commentator over Station PTHS. He is now reading the latest gab. What s that. Marge Fow.-ler isn t living up to the part she played in a play, as an old maid school teacher? Oh, w.e see, she has just announced her engagement to Sonny Lestershay, or what ever his name is. That's swell Marge, we knew you -would never be an old maid with Sonny around. Well there is a taxi and we must leave now, but wait who is the driver. No, it can't be, but naturally who else, Pat, McCormick ! I He must still love to drive, but now; he gets paid for it. Y e shall tell Pat where we want to go, and take off'with a bang, as usual!! Dot and Smitty, The hardest tumble a man can take is to fall over his ovn bluff. There is fixed justice in this too. No man can hope to win through bluff while other do honest work to win.
