16 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL I, Lottie Rena Gates, do hereby will and bequeath to “Streamline Shaw” my perfect sixteen figure. I hear you’re haing quite a time to keep your figure down, Carl. You know these so called “Sweets” were never made for little boys like you.

Since you’re a courtin’ a little “farmerette,” it might be wise to get used to “tending the cows” and “mowing away the hay.” Work never hurt any man Dick, so don’t lie afraid.
