H. S. Well, let s see who's here today. Crash—!!! Oh. gosh. Doonie Walker dropped a tray. Ain’t it awful. In spite of having such great big muscles, those football guys can grab a fullback but can t carry a full tray. Ear! Stringfellow and Charlie Wise are tittering (you know, hee-haw) at their teammate's misfortune. Well, I hear the sounds of battle over to my left. Let’s listen in. “You did, too! I did not. I didn’t say that! “Oh. yes. you did. You know darn well -Etcetera. Ah. me. I might have known Jean Jordan and Jimmy Matthews at it again. Well, they say the course of true love never did run smooth. Those two ought to know. Hear that loud laugh? Yeah, it’s them. That last joke Jack Hans told musta’ been good. Joy Seals and Eva Adams are so-o-o tickled that they have turned a lovely shade of pink. Very becoming, don’t you think? Or dontcha? Oh. you don t think, period. Ha, ha, funny, ain’t it? Today we present The Lives and Lunches of Miss Phillipian . Curtain Music- Come on. Charlie, let’s eat. Wonder what we have today? This is Friday so it must be hash sniff-sniff yeah, it is.

T II E M I R R O R A cknowledgment Sing a song of school days. Taken on the run: Crammin'. diggin . boning— Isn’t school great fun! —Beulah Samples. Quiz Kids It is now time for the school kids' questionnaire, so everybody perk up your ears. Each of these quiz kids will be awarded a diploma by Phillips High School. Preliminaries are finished, so let's get down to business. Ready? Well, here we go. The first question was sent in by Doll Averett, who would like to know who Yehudi is. Does anyone know the answer? Oh. yes, Margie Billingsley, who do you think Yehudi is? The little man who wasn’t there. He flitted through the empty air: He was here and he was there That was Yehudi.” Very good, Margie. Now we have a question which comes from Lora Hill. She says. To be or not to be. that is the question. Yes, Mary Elizabeth Howard, what do you say? Definitely. to be!” Johnny Ann Graham sends this one especially for Jacqueline Biddle. Jacqueline, do you think it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Oh. you wouldn’t know, but you'll take Tennyson’s word for it. Well. kids. I guess it’s recess time, so relax for a while. Here’s one we've all had some experience with, but Marjorie Leigh is the only one brave enough to put it into words. How many times have you sat in class and longed for the bell to ring? Ruth Frey says if you take a number from one to ten. double it and add a million , you will have the approximate answer. Wait a minute until I put on my specks so I'll be able to read this one from Bill McLain. He asks if Odum-Bowers Blach’s Porter Rhodes-Carroll Chevrolet Carr Inn Newberry’s Lane. Wood Burger-Phillips or Pizitz Haverty with Martha Washington in Woolworth’s or Kresses'? Mary Howard says that Pizitz Wood Haverty with Martha Washington in Woolworth’s because Kresses’ doesn't have a luncheon counter. Juanita Bailey would like to know, Who is Sylvia? Martha Edge says she is the girl of her dreams. Sorry, kids, but you know what. The time is all gone so we'll call it quits for now. This is Blossom Harp dismissing all you Quiz Kids. So long until next time May you all know the right answers to all of life's questions. (29)
