Chet and Bob of Little Falls used to ride the bus to see Rita Seymour and Elanor Hayes but now they come in style---they have their own car.

Lid Davis goes to the show alone every Saturday night and sits in front of the projector, but when she sits there she's not alone. Why is this?

Eleanor Travis threw her punches correctly and gained a date with Paul McLoughlin on Memorial Day. Who is going to win the next round Mic?

Barney has a new (?) Model T car in which he takes Jean riding. Lucky Jean! Not everyone rates a car.

Bob Baker is writing letters to a Boy Scout in South America. One of the first things he asked was, "Are there any nice girls down there?" I guess we've got his number---or maybe he's just trying to get Warren prepared for his trip this summer.

If you hear the names "Burkie," "Burpie," "Jimmy" or "Speed," it's probably someone calling Mabelle Burke. You can probably figure out the origin of all of them except "Jimmy" which is a secret all her own.

Flash! Maybe it's just a coincidence, but, Lois Hall is staying in the same room that Bill Kamp was born in. He certainly is getting his exercise running up to the hospital every night. He's sure to keep in training too since hospital hours close at 8:30....

In grandma's day, marriage was common to girls of 18. Even in 1941 it's not out of the ordinary. Just try to get a date with Janet Coman, Hazel Beach, Betty Lester of Viola Gregg. But before asking look at the third finger of the left hand.

A certain girl in 37 seems to need Cole to keep warm in the summer as well as the winter. Hey, Mary, here comes the Cole truck.

From the rumor that has been going around there is a certain boy in Frankfort who comes down on Concord Street about every night. He goes by the name of "Pop" for short. His correct name is Lynn Walch. He looked very handsome Friday night at the concert. Didn't he, Thelma!

It is too bad that Catholics had school Thursday, May 28. Jack had to be wide awake to get up and go to school after skating at Canadarago Lake with Audrey.
