On my way to the bus stop this afternoon, I met the former Rosalie Beyer and Lenora Ledbetter. Rosalie always said she would never marry, but cupid hit her with an arrow, too . This year she was named the Most Efficient Housewife in the U.S. Lenora was in love with Rab when she was in high school, and, today, she was proudly flash- ing a diamond engagement ring she had just received. Iust as I got on my bus, I saw Don Hill. Dumpy is living up to his high school nickname . He was chosen by the Dump Trucks Drivers of America as the Most Muscular Dump Truck Driver in the U.S. You will never guess whom I saw while eating lunch--Don Wells and Bob Ponce. Remember, they were stars on the basketball squad in high schoolp and they decided to coach basketball. Well, in the past fifteen years, they got kind of fat and flabby, and now they are teaching physical education at the Downtown Y . Well, here's my stop, I'm getting off downtovsm today so I can buy another toupee. This makes my third one, so far. So long! See you tomorrow to tell you the news of the day.
