In addition, the lid of the paint can

The Creeper

I guess S.W. and V.T. have
decided to try it over again.

I wonder what fine chick
from Florida came all the way
here to see HH. It must be
love and all local talent set
bark for a while, even you,
A.P.~

S.J., will you ever wake up?
If P.J. did me like he did you
I certainly would put him
down...

I.Mc. seems to take turns,
one night with E.J. and: the
other with A.L.M. Say felle
you're really a playboy.

I wonder who Q.R. was setting in the corner at the party
mooning over? Could it have
been because of C.B? -

1 wonder why R.D. is so
down on the Flint girls? Is ii
because some one.has broken
his heart?

I.M. and H.J. were all over
the city looking rather beat
yesterday. They tell us it was
because they didn~t have any
money to get their clothes out
of the cleaners.

It seems that Billy F.G. ha
got Milwaukee on his. mind
since his trip to that city, and
being that the lovely lady who
is working with the~Famous Art
Cleaners is also from that city,
G. seems to find the rleaning
business interesting. Take. it
easy, Dady-O, tor the Coast
Guard will be in shortly.

The Creeper is wondering
who was the sharp Elk whom
EJE.H. was doing the grand
march with last Saturday night.

What happened, J.H; I no
ticed Saturday that you had a}.

brand new grill on your car,
and Sunday it was smashed.
again.

R.D. was seen bringing little E.J. home. Can it be that
a romance is in bloom again?

To F.V., marriage is a seri.
ous step. If I were you I woulc
make up my mind who | want

ed before | say ~~I do.~

I guess the romance of A.B.
and F.M. has finally come to <
No better you two.

It seems that Q.R. has nc
time for M.S, since the arriva.
of D.G. It is~ rumored the
flame has never died down be
tween the two, ~D. G"~and~Q:R
It seems that the atrival! of
F.R. has upset a ~lot of people
and especially the play boys
The boys are not as active a

Of course, we know that afte:
one of the other play boys ac
quire an auto that they will be
as active as ever.;
